There's a local council in my community that is gunning for an AI data center in my county. People are livid, but I don't think it's going to be enough to stop the construction. It's shady as fuck with hidden shareholders that nobody will reveal.

I'm open to any and all suggestions on how to prevent this data center from being built. Peaceful ideas or otherwise.

    If you can't come up with ideas in the "otherwise" category, you probably aren't very serious.

    If they don't respect the law or the will of the people when they put the god forsaken thing up, why are we beholden to the law and the will of the shareholders when we insist that doing it in spite of us is a Bad Idea?

    exactly. either the law applies only to The Poors, or it applies to everyone.
    if the law applies to everyone, then it needs to be applied.
    if you can't apply the law, maybe apply something else.

    Absolutely. We are not beholden to the law and the obvious alternative is violence, which the poster is either being obtuse about, or really isn't serious about being part of a solution. History shows that violence has always been the answer.

    Silly take. Almost nothing will stop it long term if they want it, illegal or not. And thinking of ideas that potentially could, that a single person could genuinely pull off, is not simple, no matter how serious you are.

    Sure, that's why it takes the multitude with the fortitude to carry on with the "other" actions. It is inane to skirt around the violence option as it is ever present in our history, and has really been the only solution for radical changes or shift in policy.

    Otherwise, where is your solution? Haranguing me for my silly take and nothing else to offer to the original petitioner?
