Feels like we're going to hit the tipping point between "I wouldn't actually recommend ecoterrorism, but" and "is there any solution other than ecoterrorism available?" very soon
Getting some of the same feeling about healthcare in the US. I wouldn't recommend terrorism against healthcare insurance companies and executives, but I'm wondering what an actual solution besides terrorism looks like.
Terrorism implies the goal is to install fear in a population. If your goal is to simply stop something bad from continuing directly, that's just direct action. Stop letting institutions in power frame good things as boogeymen.
My hope is that all these AI garbage servers spur huge investment in new solar/wind to handle their power consumption, the AI companies all go bust, and we end up with plenty of renewables AND no AI.
This has felt basically correct since the day I found out that the amount of new electricity produced by wind and solar was almost completely gobbled up by crypto mining.
Like, those fuckers are keeping coal plants that were set for decommissioning open.
I still remember back when an eco-terrorist group like Avalanche was the good guys of the JRPG scene and it had a racially diverse group of anarchists devoted to overthrowing a corrupt corporate government back in the 90's and we had Captain Planet... and it wasn't a controversial thing back then.
I've been on the Internet since 1996, so I've seen a few things. Including some things that some people would very much wish never showed up.
Slava Person's SVBXlabs is one of those things.
A lot of it went missing not long after 9/11, but some of it still survives.
Use it wisely.
