When the extraction class says "extremist", they mean "literate, cogent citizen who isn't gulping down the BS quietly", mind you. When cops say it, it's code for "prospective target".

Billionaires have been fantasizing about anti-datacenter people being "Chinese agents" acting against US interests so we can look forward to a new red scare soon.

Yet,
no one'snot enough of us're apparently wondering what's behind the recent uptick in airtime that "Chinese" "spies" getting "caught" by the "US". 🤷🏽♂️ParlimentOfDoom@piefed.zip · 22 pts · 111d
Ah yes...the people who don't like that thing that doesn't work, but if it actually did would render them all unemployed, are.... extremists. Sure.

Sorta like how worshipping anything other than Supply-side Jesus is anti-American...

Opposing the genocide of brown people? Extremism.
Opposing nakedly corrupt fascism? Extremism.
Opposing omnicidal destruction of the climate for the benefit of a few oligarchs' pockets? Extremism.
Opposing having your livelihood stolen and the creation of an Orwellian panopticon all rolled up into one? Believe it or not, extremism!
Huh, it's almost as if the ghouls controlling the definition don't have the People's best interests at heart.
(Oh, and also: attempting a coup in order to install a dictator? Somehow, not extremism.)

Opposing? Extremism.

They did the same with the "Luddites".
OTOH I haven't seen anyone torching AI datacenters. Yet.

I would never see anyone torching AI datacenters.

I hear data centers are exceedingly vulnerable to sabotage and vandalism, which would be awful if anyone attempted such a crime against property, but I hear it’s true nonetheless 🤷
