How Deep Fakes Are Justifying Real Violence

AI-generated deep fakes are being used to justify state violence and manipulate public opinion in real time.

We're breaking down what's happening in Minneapolis—where federal agents are using altered images and AI-manipulated video to paint victims as threats, criminals, or weak. One woman shot in the face. One male nurse killed while filming. One civil rights attorney's tears added in post. All of it designed to shift the narrative, flood the zone with confusion, and make you stop trusting anything.

What we cover:

• Why deep fakes are more dangerous than misinformation — They don't just lie, they manufacture emotion
• How the "flood the zone" strategy works — Overwhelm people with so much fake content they give up on truth
• What happens when your mom can't tell real from fake — The collapse of shared reality isn't theoretical anymore
• Why this breaks institutional trust forever — Once credibility is destroyed, it doesn't come back
• How Russia's playbook became America's playbook — PsyOps tactics are now domestic policy
• What to do when you can't believe your own eyes — Practical skepticism in an age of slop
