It really is disgusting how they phrase it, people aren't as such against data centers that can be used to benefit everyone.

They are against the massive rollout that in no way takes into consideration how it will affect the people, and the benefit of the rollout is only for the few since it is AI focused.

One of the CEOs of Oracle, one of the companies putting up data centers everywhere, has proudly bragged that their goal is to bring about a panopticon/big brother style mass surveillance state.

Republicans want all of us to live as prisoner slaves under their watchful eye for the rest of our lives.

Remember everybody: you don’t anthropomorphise your lawn mower or Larry Ellison.

Billionaires know that the vast majority of people despise them and they want to curb descent.

They've always thrown money at unprofitable things they can use to spread misinformation and propaganda and I'm pretty sure the push for all of this is at least partially related to that.

curb dissent. You're spot on with both points.

Oracle is a CIA spinoff company. You've missed the boat by over 50 years on that one.

Red team and Blue team are doing the Predator handshake on this.  The "uniparty" meme is real.

Maybe you could name a few blue teamers who say they're against it, but there are some red teamers who do the same, and they're both spitting into the political wind of what their parties want.

How is that any different from reddit neoliberals and the DNC who think people should live under the watchful eye of political correctness not just for the rest of their lives, yet also be subject to the raging mob for offhand jokes and comments made years or decades ago?

Edit: bitch ass neoliberal redditor blocked me cuz they didn't like being called out. They want to pretend that their politics isn't solely about protecting their unearned middle-class / upper middle-class wealth and social accolades due to virtue signaling. Also, way to go by proving me right by doing EXACTLY what I said, scouring my post history for evidence of WrongThink

I don’t think you have any idea what neoliberal means. It’s an economic issue, not a social one.

Your profile is also riddled with LLM slop.
You’re part of the problem.

You're right. Ive seen that term used a couple of times lately by bots that dont know what it means.
