X is owned by a manic billionaire that is openly using the platform to groom a political movement based on fascist principles. If you are aware of history, facists that come into power, backed by capitalists, do not take kindly to socialists, communists, or heck even democratic folks.
The most disturbing thing about this platform is how it narrows down contacts. A persons social circle is what will be used to persecute them; the "crimes" of the socialists, communists, or anarchists one follows and interacts with on the platform will be a persons own. Entire communities are put at risk by being on X.
Any contribution to the site helps further these violent goals. All content posted to the site is free labor for the worlds 'richest' man. Any communities built on the platform will be mined for their content, stripped of their humanity, and all that remains will be propagandized to.
Why should anyone donate their data to the worlds richest man? Why do we all continue this farce? Why not let Twitter die, just like any of the previous websites?
Twitter is Dead
Twitter died the day that Elon Musk purchased the platform. Elon purged the platform of any people that have a conscious:
- Elon Musk Fires Twitter Employees Who Criticized Him (Published 2022)
- Elon Musk Has Fired Twitter’s ‘Ethical AI’ Team
- Neo-Nazis, Antisemites, and the N-Word Twitter Just Hours Under Elon Musk
Referring to the platform as Twitter serves the cognitive dissonance that is required for folks to continue using the platform. Calling X Twitter is rampant in mainstream media, liberal circles, and among its power users. They want to believe that the old Twitter, one that believed itself to be a platform for discourse, is still there. It is not. It is dead.
Long Live X
Bots constructs most of twitters traffic. The most active people using X are narcs, politicians, cops, and journalists. Further, the integration of Grok across the platform means that even the posts that are submitted by people are increasingly just crafted using AI. A bunch of the content is digital sludge generated by bots employed by these same actors. Proverbially, it is a snake eating its own tail. As it swallows, the remaining echo chamber of right-wing grifters is increasingly becoming fascist. The liberals that cling to the platform are participating in the shifting of the overtone window and endangering their communities.
The platform is increasingly being used to enact violence around the world:
- X has already been used to kill dissidents in Saudi Arabia. Saudi infiltration of Twitter - Wikipedia
- Allegedly X has begun blacklisting progressive politicians: The right-wing lurch of X under Elon Musk
- X censors dissent of authoritarian regimes: Under Elon Musk, Twitter has approved 83% of censorship requests by authoritarian governments
- X is the favored platform of Conservatives because it is a conservative platform: Bot campaign backing Pierre Poilievre looks the work of an amateur, experts say CBC News
- The bots are geared towards conservatives because capital requires a false narrative to survive: Bots on X worse than ever according to analysis of 1m tweets during first Republican primary debate
- If you advertise or work on X you are basically burning money: The majority of traffic from Elon Musk's X may have been fake during the Super Bowl, report suggests
Transition
Getting of X is key to progressive movements being able to move forward. The Bunker Operations recommends folks consider going old school; email lists. Collect known addresses for your allies and guard that information.
