As I commented in a different thread: Despite the origin being in memes and generally unserious content, and this being a fringe group which few have heard of, the sentiment of potentially creating a place for those who are considered Russian enough to be excluded/segregated from Estonian society, but also do not want to be part of Russia, is understandable.

Nevertheless, a new state is probably never going to be a serious possibility, nor should it be. Estonians still have a way to go in regards to segregation of Russian-Estonians however… I know someone who is Estonian, but had to change their name to mitigate the amount of prejudice they were exposed to, as the name was Russian in origin.

It’s the exact same angle, but this helps. I’m now convinced this is not AI.

Thanks for proving me wrong! It’s hard not to be skeptical of videos these days…

Is it just me, or does it look AI generated? Here are the things that look off:

• The wind is blowing the flag, but not her hair (it remains perfectly still for the entire duration).
• The tree leaves in the background look like they are phasing/blending when they move with the wind?
• The woman holding the phone in the right of this video seems to be attempting to record, but is not pointing the camera in a reasonable direction?
• There is almost nothing going on in the video apart from the main character.
• They are standing in the woods with speakers at a rally?? Why not in the city? And even a park in the city should have some cityscape in the background?
• Did this happen recently? Green leafy trees are not in season in France yet, I believe? Didn’t see the timestamp; it’s from 13th of May 2025.
• Behind the woman that is trying to film, there is a flag in the beginning to the video that seems to walk away by itself? And towards the end of the video the woman behind the woman recording is walking away the same direction, and you can see her head (height disparity with whoever would potentially be carrying the aforementioned flag).

Anyone have other independent sources on this event?

Edit: Added things that looks weird.

Edit 2: Alright, this is not AI. It’s unfortunate one has to be so skeptical, but that’s the world we now find ourselves in…
