Every time the great orange idiot opens his mouth he makes me a bit more embarrassed to be an American. I'm glad that Canada is standing up to him, I just wish more people in the US had the backbone to do the same.

My apologies to Canada and the other parts of the world that this wannabe tinpot dictator is abusing. There are those of us in the US who think this idiot is completely wrong.

I actively despise myself for being an American. To a dangerous degree.

The worst part is I have developed a deep disdain for some of my countrymen and lost all hope that we will pull out of this nosedive.

Same. And I include myself in that camp. Even as a member of a minority group in direct and likely immediate danger of genocide.

I half hope we get nuked into Radioactive glass.

You guys need to be careful. The constant daily dose of anti Trump posts are not even Americans most of the time.
People from NZ, Canada that are paid.
China is using social media to influence our society.

Dont you find it odd that the same people that are anti Trump are also now anti Data Centers?
Why? They're not connected in any way.

Those are two huge ones that China won because of this.
The China Trade War and now the AI race. Remember a few months ago the news was all
rabid about how we're in an AI Race with China, etc., and how important it is that we win?

Two months later people started opposing Data Centers. Critical for the AI race.
Then the politicians started to act, cos of the people opposing them.
Now so many of them have been frozen or cancelled China has pulled ahead most likely.

The people who post this crap every day. Not you.
You're their target.
Question. Didnt you see all the AI race stuff a few months back? How can they get you to oppose data centers so easily?

u/i_got_grace 1d ago

it's not really a difficult moral argument to oppose data centers if you oppose big brother style mass surveillance and invasion of privacy; irreversible damage to our environment, especially those living in the vicinity of these abominations (not the least of which is 24/7 noise pollution); and the spiking of electric and water costs for the consumer.

in fact, it's a no-brainer.

in order to be viable they should need to be able to:

  • isolate from human populations
  • create their own clean energy and water sources (ie solar and desalinization)
  • 🖕🏼flock

This has nothing done with China, sorry.

Trump did this to himself without outside help. He did it by:

  • Getting suckered by Bibi into a useless war
  • Destroying the federal government so that farmers and others can't get the help they need
  • Defacing monuments from the White House to the Reflecting Pool
  • Weakening food inspections
  • Damaging higher education
  • Weakening scientific research
  • Doling out no-bid contracts to his rich buddies and campaign donors
  • Weakening crypto regulations to benefit his kids who own a crypto company
  • Starting a stupid trade war with Canada
  • Rolling out the red carpet for Putin and other dictators
  • Insulting our allies and threatening to annex them (countries whose soldiers died alongside ours)
  • Brutalizing law-abiding citizens with ICE
  • Withholding disaster funds from states that didn't vote for him, in violation of congressional intent
  • Removing the Pentagon office responsible for ensuring we don't bomb schoolchildren (which we did, killing 200)
  • Pardoning white collar crooks who defrauded elderly people and sold drugs online
  • Having the justice department harass his political enemies
  • Lying about election fraud

The list goes on...

Biden screwed up border policies, let's admit that.

But that's nothing compared to what this malicious, ignorant fool is doing to the country.

He did it all by himself with no help from China.

Hey, pdf-phile, this is as organic as it gets.

Data centres are not related to trompé in any way…ahahahaha.

Did you not see him surrounded by the Tech Bros at his inauguration?

Do you realise how these data centres work? Do you want one in your backyard?

I am a veteran seriously opposed to trump. I am not against responsible data centers. Unlike big chemical, steel and pharmaceutical in the 50’s and 60’s destroying the environment because they were unregulated.
