  • I think it’s also emblematic of how corrupt our system has become. We don’t have money or housing for the unhoused. We don’t have power for an all electric vehicle transport system. We must baby step every little inch of progress and fight tooth an nail as services are cut out from under us.

    Yet these data centers spring up out of nowhere taking our water before we can drink it, and consuming power that our communities already paid for. Our representatives sell our services to take care of them because corruption is just lobbying. They dump pollution and excess heat into our communities during a climate catastrophe.

    And it’s all for a technology that has a rather small use case where it works well, but is being crammed into everything whether it needs it or not making perfectly good tech into barely functional crap. All so that like ten white dudes can hoard more wealth, and control more and more aspects of all of our lives.










  • Actually, for a fascist it’s very easy. When words dont really mean anything and your ideology demands no consistency you can say what you want and defend the indefensible. If you think that rational people would see through all that you’re right, but their followers arent. They’ve been trained for over forty years to be led by the nose by their media peer group. Be it conservative news or Facebook posts or green text or their local evangelical demigogue, whatever it is they will be told what they want to hear. Trump is right, and by extention they are right too. And to question it is to put at risk all the relationships they’ve built up over their lifetime. To be wrong is too risky, so they simply arent. And people like Sean Hannity can say whatever they want without question.
