If you’ve been on X/Twitter recently, you may have come across ‘Amelia’:

Goth Waifu Amelia is now the mascot of UK nationalism and has gone viral after the UK panicked and took her game down.

The first thing you’ll notice about Amelia is that she isn’t real. The second thing you’ll notice is that she’s incredibly racist. The third thing you’ll notice is that the losers thirsting after her seem to have real feelings for this fake woman.

This is a problem for them, as while Amelia may be a cypher, the people behind this faux lady are very real scammers:

Explain yourself

If you’re not Very Online, you may be confused about all this.

The first thing to understand is that ‘meme coins’ are generally scams. In practice, what happens is some influencer promotes the coin to their followers to increase the value of the coin, and then they pull out. Following this, the meme coin’s value drops to zero (or just over). This is what’s known as a ‘rug pull’, as in ‘having the rug pulled out from under you’.

The second thing to understand is the reference to ‘India’. Since Elon Musk monetised Twitter, people of the world have been looking for ways to maximise how much money they can make. As it turns out, the best way of doing this is to create super-nationalist profile accounts for countries like the US and Britain, because the bigots in those countries are so fucking thick that they’ll believe anything. India is one of the countries where people are doing that (as it inevitably would be, given that they make up an eighth of the global population).

Right, so back to Amelia, this is the sort of posts that are pulling right-wing virgins into the meme coin orbit:

Vulnerable men and Amelia

You’ll notice that Amelia is an early-2000s ‘manic pixie dream girl’ but racist. There’s a good reason for this; it’s because the sort of men who are vulnerable to this scam are stunted millennials who haven’t felt happy since the first time they watched Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind.

While you may not be inclined to feel sorry for these men, the truth is they are vulnerable. They’re vulnerable because they’re stupid, horny, and resentful, and those three things combined have created an Amelia shaped hole in their lives.

To avoid having anything this embarrassing happening again, we need to get back to having a society in which everyone feels invested. In other words, tax the rich, redistribute the wealth, and for god’s sake ban this AI video shite which benefits no one besides scammers:
