Amelia Unleashed. A British 'Anti-Radicalization' Simulation Goes Horribly Wrong With Hilarious Results

One of the more charming features of progressive and totalitarian government projects is the conceit by those in charge that all right-thinking people agree with their desired outcome. The loathsome Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion industry developed because no one pushing the programs could imagine anyone objecting to giving their job to a completely undeserving stranger who happened to have different melanin content, cultural origins, IQ, or sexual proclivities. Why shouldn’t your kids be denied opportunities for the greater good of a fair, equitable, and inclusive society? When this blindered and bubbled worldview comes into contact with reality in a relatively free society, such as currently exists in the United States, there is pushback, as you have the freedom to call out egregious stupidity for what it is. In the United Kingdom, the situation is different. There an oppressive, far-left government has engaged in Orwellian levels of speech control. For instance, take the case of Lucy Connolly. In the aftermath of a stabbing attack at a dance studio that left three young girls dead and ten people injured, Connolly tweeted the unthinkable.

In July last year, prompted by a false rumour that an illegal immigrant was responsible for the murder of three girls at a dance workshop in Southport, Connolly posted online calling for "mass deportation now", adding "set fire to all the... hotels [housing asylum seekers]... for all I care".

Connolly, then a 41-year-old Northampton childminder, added: "If that makes me racist, so be it."

No, the assailant wasn’t illegal, but his parents were refugees from Rwanda, and the perpetrator had a history of violence that he’d never been called to account for, mostly because he was a child of refugees.

Connolly got 31 months in prison...for a tweet.

With that as a backdrop, let’s start our story.

In 2023, a British gaming company called Shout Out received funding from the British Home Office's “Prevent” counter-terrorism program for an online game to combat the radicalization of British youth. This program, by the way, investigated the murderer who landed Ms. Connolly in prison three times and found he wasn’t a threat. The game, called Pathways, lets the participant adopt a male or female persona named “Charlie” and place them in various scenarios where the wrong answer can get you a visit from the police.

Players guide white teenage characters through scenarios where they must avoid being flagged for "extreme right-wing ideology" after discussing migration online.

Characters risk Prevent referrals if they interact with groups spreading "harmful ideological messages" or attend protests opposing the "erosion of British values".

The game even frames researching immigration statistics online in a negative light.

 …

Players face multiple-choice questions throughout, with options colour-coded red for bad and green for good.

 An in-game meter tracks how extreme the character's behaviour becomes.

Can anyone spot the flaw in this concept?

Early choices include whether to download a video from a gaming platform or tell an adult about it.

Charlie, who is outperformed academically by a black student, must then choose whether to simply accept this or blame immigrants for "stealing jobs".

Players who "lose" may receive counselling for "ideological thoughts" or face referral to an anti-terrorism expert.

Charlie encounters a video claiming "Muslim men are stealing the places of British veterans in emergency accommodation" and "the Government is betraying white British people and we need to take back control of our country".

Players can scroll past or "engage directly with the post".

Choosing engagement triggers a message: "Unfortunately, Charlie didn't realise that some of the groups they were engaging in were actually illegal."

Selecting the option to research the topic is also portrayed negatively.

The character sees research papers, statistics and protest information about the "'replacement' of white people".

Charlie receives an invitation to join a group called Action for Britain.

Some genius, somewhere, decided that the perfect foil in the scenario involving the decision to participate in an anti-immigrant demonstration was a character named Amelia. She is depicted as a goth girl with purple hair, a pink dress, and a choker.

Combine the tone-deafness of government true-believers with a lack of respect for authority, and AI-generated animation, and you have hilarity.

Amelia has become the heroine of the story.

Here's the transcript, but you really need to watch it.

Amelia: Hi, I'm Amelia. I'm English, and I love England.

I like having fish and chips and a pint at the local pub.

I like Shakespeare and Dickens, Tolkien and Lewis. Harry Potter.

I like pork sausage and dogs and fashion...

Bearded Muslim: Haram! Haram!

Amelia: But I don't like that.

Brits are famously polite, but it mustn't mean we're willing to commit cultural suicide.

Our institutions, the Church of England, the BBC, are a bunch of queers and nonces.

Amelia to Kier Starmer character: "How the bloody hell did we go from Churchill to you, you ditz."

Amelia to Sadiq Khan character: "Sadiq Khan? The mayor? This is London, mate, not Afghanistan. Or Star Wars."

Amelia: Our government won't even protect our schoolgirls from grooming gangs.

Amelia to lurking Pakistainis: "Sod off, Paki wankers."

Amelia: The police won't help. They're too busy confiscating garden tools and suppressing free speech.

Policeman: "That's right, Miss."

Man: "What have I done officer?"

Policeman: "You tweeted rudely, and you're under arrest."

Amelia: Curry is fine, but we have several recipes already. We don't need two million Indians here to make it for us.

There are fifty Islamic nations in the world. Muslims don't need to be on our island. They want to conquer it.

The government says it must be this way, that doesn't make it right, does it, Robin Hood?

These dragons that threaten our England won't go away unless brave knights rise up to slay them.

Or did all the British bloodlines with any bollocks get killed off in World Wars 1 and 2?

Englishmen, it's your country, and it's being taken from you.

Chav? Posh? It doesn't matter. We're already all in this together. 

I don't want this to be the future of the women of England. And I'm sure the women of Iran and Afghanistan didn't want it either.

Your ancestors beat the Spanish Armada, Napoleon, and the Nazis. Surely you can handle welfare tourists.

History will record what you do or don't do. Get cracking lads. Love, Amelia.

Since the original, several sequels have been released.

In response, the online simulation has been disabled. I tried to play it using a British IP address from my VPN, but as of this morning, it still didn't work.

Saul Alinsky had this to say about ridicule: "Ridicule is man's most potent weapon. It's hard to counterattack ridicule, and it infuriates the opposition, which then reacts to your advantage."

The Ameiia character makes some very good points that I'm sure a lot of Brits agree with, even though voicing agreement would result in a stint in prison. She makes the government look ridiculous and out of touch. And she does it with humor. The British government's decision to take down the website is simply going to draw more attention to the videos featuring Amelia. The government can't afford to be made look ridiculous, and it will be forced to double down on suppressing the lack of respect.

There is the potential for a massive electoral backlash to the British government, assuming elections are still a thing there. If there is, the resulting carnage will owe a lot to an AI character from a government-sponsored anti-radicalization simulation.
