    The powers that be want to create artificial shortages of everything we use so they can control us

    that’s why no one’s talking about climate change anymore. 1. because it’s obviously bullshit and was only ever going to be used as an excuse to turn every free country into a dictatorship

    and 2. because of the massive amounts of electricity and water the data centers will use when they’re built

    What? you actually believe in climate change? You must be pretty young. In my lifetime I’ve been told there’s a hole in the ozone layer that’s going to cause the end of the world 30 years ago and that there isn’t going to be any ice in the polar regions by 16 years ago.

    But the same people who told me that have gigantic mansions with 4 industrial AC units each on beachfront property who also own multiple private jets. “oh but I bought carbon offsets” No, they get to write that off on their taxes, WE paid for their indulgences

    It’s like a church charging YOU for an indulgence that someone else gets to benefit from

      I won’t dignify the rest of that sentence by quoting any further. You have literally the entire world’s knowledge at your fingertips and instead you sit there being a fucking moron.

      https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Montreal_Protocol - a problem being fixed doesn’t mean there was never a problem.
