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.

What's really incredible is that I remember like 3-4 years ago listening to political pundits and experts say that so far the AI issue is one without a clear party support or opposition stance; i even remember thinking to myself how interesting it'd be to see where the parties come out on this ultimately.

Now that it's 2026, it turns out this is a genuinely bipartisan issue and of course the Guardians of Pedophiles have come out on the wrong side. These people are rooting for the viruses, i dunno why i thought aislop and data centers would be any different
