🧵THREAD: Why Are AI-Generated Black Women Selling War?
There’s a new kind of military propaganda happening—and it has a face.
Not a general. Not a flag.
A Black woman.
Digitally generated. Dressed in fatigues. Smiling, jubilant as she praises a U.S. airstrike against Iran.
Let’s talk about why that’s not progress. 👇🏾

We’ve been truth-tellers, moral anchors, movement leaders.
We signify justice, resistance, clarity.
So now? We’re being simulated to sell messages we never co-signed.
Problematic as hell.

in reply to Diligence Jones • • •The AI video I saw showed a young “Black servicewoman” in combat greens surrounded by other service personnel in a 'desert' holding her phone like it was recording her, celebrating a successful bombing on Iran.
I think the caption was something like a Matthew 5:9 scripture quote, "Blessed are the peacemakers." (a pun on the type of missile, I guess.)
But she wasn’t real.
No real woman said those words. (And how effing dare they tap into the whole church thing.)
Someone generated her to perform consent.
To make empire sound like empowerment.
UNREAL
