Yeah, authoritarian red state shithole. I don’t even travel to/through such places when I can avoid it.
A worse crime than anything in the Epstein files apparently
lets you know who paid the council
The party of “small government” . I’m sure he’s on the maga cancel culture concentration camp list now…brought to you by palantir because f you
This data center they’re hysterically agitating to build is going to take part of someone’s yard, someone’s entire house and property, and it will be right by a neighborhood making it’s stupid noise. And a lot of people outside of the town will have to deal with $400 per month electric bills, and they just can’t afford it.
Maybe this is the (unfortunate) push that drives renewables.
These are the same material limitations that has driven renewables for decades, the US has an ideological dedication to absorbing the consequences of sustaining fossil fuel use anyway. The US is a for-profit imperial power with an owning class who sees anyone and everyone beneath them as exploitable and disposable. People in the US have tolerated the fossil fuel industry making their lives worse consistently for decades. Those same people will always adjust to worse conditions if they have to, and that owning class knows it.
There is no breaking point, people have to choose to accept the consequences of resisting with the knowledge that these people will never stop unless forced to.
How long until someone shoots up a construction site for a data center?
Don’t even have to go that far. There are cheap and easily available perfectly safe substances that can be dumped on freshly poured concrete, or in empty forms, that keeps concrete from setting up correctly.
I mean, the data centers themselves are flammable. And you would do more damage if you waited til they were built…
Sugar is very effective at destroying concrete
One of our local public transit advocates did nothing more than present at city council meetings. They ordered the security team to follow him everywhere in the building, to the bathroom, and his car.
Even basic challenges to the people in your government is all too often met with straight up oppression tactics. He got them to stop by going to the press with it. Nothing else worked except more public pressure.
These times are going to make The Onion irrelevant.
You’re only allowed to protest low-income housing in your local town you fucking idiot! God know’s that’s how democracy works dumby~
“Shut up, Poors.”
Years ago there was a sketch in France making parody of local news to denounce racism: Anchor: “A man shot at a group of Arabs arguing they were too loud. After investigations, the police concluded that indeed, the Arabs were too loud”.
This news brought that immediately in my mind.
They arrest the opposition for nothing to keep others from speaking out.
That YouTube video is wild. Approximately 20 seconds from being first notified that his time was up, officers had already come up to him. 20 seconds. He handed them his documents. He was done. There was no logical reason for the arrest.
Link?
It’s in the original post.
Sure there was, they wanted to show their power.
The arrest was done to warn the other peasants
Yah bruh don’t be rousing the rabble! You rabble rouser you!
That must be that “freedom” that Vance and Rubio say Europe lacks.
