Yeah they're turning Americans against data centers by describing them objectively, how insidious...

China didn't attack Iran and send global oil prices sky high. China doesn't bully my government into bad defence contracts.

I'm so tired of racist fear mongering about China. They aren't a perfect country, but the suggestion of the United States judging any other nation right now is mind boggling.

China didn't continually insist Iran was two weeks away from a nuclear weapon for five decades, nor did they bomb and kill the religious leader that expressly declared nuclear and chemical weapons are against God and Islam.

Believing American narratives at face value is an unhinged reality to live in.

OpenAI is doing a much better job than China at getting people to hate AI.

Easy to do when people don't fucking want them, and more specifically, they do not add any value to ppls lives, they only take to away. If only we have reps who represented anything but their own self interests.

Lol. It's obviously a consortium of trans, immigrants and antifa that are behind it. While Michelle Obama and Soros are funding the operation.

They absolutely do this but it doesn't mean anti datacenter people are wrong. Russia, China, Iran all use amplification techniques to destabilize other countries. You don't need a complex propaganda plan when you can just amplify every divisive topic and get brexit.

The profound xenophobia of westerners mean they don't even hesitate to make assertions about "enemy" countries despite the fact they have zero evidence, not even bad evidence, other than their own gut feelings of hostility. What evidence do they have that china "absolutely attempts to turn Americans against Data centers"? None at all, but that doesn't matter, it's a negative accusation against a non western nation. What evidence do they have that Iran uses "amplification techniques" to destabilize the West? Well it just feels true, after all, they are coniving foreigners, and surely they must be responsible for the political issues in the West, as the West is too superior to be the source of its own problems.

You don't need a complex propaganda plan when the U.S. government and corporations conspire daily for new ways to fuck us over. It's not propaganda at that point.
