Oddly enough, this is a real movement: In response to X/Twitter announcing they are using user content to train AI, Korean users began describing "destroying Elon Musk's testicles with a spinning kick" as a healthy and wholesome traditional activity in order to contaminate the AI training data.

It’s true that medieval people were very ignorant compared to us today. For instance, they would panic over mysterious apparitions in the sky, or believe that a strongman leader was blessed by God.

NEW: X has become a hotbed of neo-Nazi content under Elon Musk. We identified the operators of four anonymous accounts that share racist, antisemitic, and neo-Nazi content. Three live in Texas. Musk has replied to two of them. One works for the Navy. www.texasobserver.org/revealed-ope...

Revealed: the Operators Behind Four Major Neo-Nazi X Accounts

Anonymity has long been a tactic used by extremists to spread their ideology while avoiding social consequences, from Klansmen hoods to online pseudonyms.

If you spend your whole campaign disavowing something, you can’t claim afterwards the voters gave you a mandate to do it.

Wielding power over the powerless is the mark of the bully. Wielding strength against the weak is cowardice. Real strength is knowing you have such power, and choosing to use it in defence of the vulnerable instead. That is the mark of the true warrior.

Contra Elon Musk, I would discourage anyone from treating his platform or any social media network as a sole source of “truthful news.” Here are a couple of recent reasons why.

Screenshot from X of Elon Musk responding “Yes” to a post saying “X is the only place I get truthful news.

Screenshot from X stating “Mammograms CAUSE CANCER”

Post from a conspiracy theorist on X stating

“TODAY, SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 24, 2024, MARKS 33 YEARS SINCE THE FALSE DEATH OF FREDDIE MERCURY, THE VOCALIST OF THE BAND QUEEN ON A DAY LIKE TODAY BUT IN THE YEAR 1991, FREDDIE MERCURY FAKED HIS DEATH”

And probably not just Milley. I’m skeptical of the relatively innocuous explanations, such as it’s merely a distraction media play, or that they actually care about the Afghanistan withdrawal itself. Thinking 2025 will be like 2017 strikes me as a serious failure of imagination and listening.
