I don't think demizerone meant that they will suddenly be brought to justice. I think he clearly meant that we will bring justice just in an indirect way.

Cops merely protect the ones giving orders rather than the people, so it's not a big surprise. This is why anarchists believe that they should be abolished.

The reporter isn't the only one who has gotten shot for non-violent protesting / reporting. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KlxSsceOOX4&t=149s in the video, they emphasize that "officers taking aim with weapons, shooting rubber bullets indiscriminately at anyone in their path" (1:56)

That's correct, but I'm using the Al Jazeera headline because that's where I got it from

Totally agree with you! "Getting rid of him alone will not stop the violent zionist settler colonial project" is an amazing statement. I don't think it should just be fully understood, but also stopped through educating the masses on it's racist nationalism.

Hopefully, one day all war criminals will be brought to justice.

Yep, it is also illegal to commit genocide, ethnic cleansing, racism, and terrorism, but look where we are

They were on international waters 100 miles [160km] from Gaza. It was carrying a symbolic amount of humanitarian aid, including baby formula and rice. They were completely peacefull, carrying no weapons whatsoever.

I see the confusion. In this case, evaporating doesn't happen the natural way of boiling at 100 degrees celcius. Instead, these data centers mostly use things called cooling towers, where the warm water is sprayed into the air and some of it evaporates. It's not technically "consumed", because again, I emphasise that water doesn't dissapear. It instead goes through the water cycle, but this evaporating removes water from the local supply, which can be a problem in water-scarce areas.

No, they don't consume. Instead, they use it for cooling their servers. You might have heard of a way to cool a computer that is more effective than a fan called water cooling. It basically uses water to absorb the hot air from the GPU/CPU to be sent to the radiator where the water is cooled and sent back to be pumped and continue the cycle. This is called a closed-loop water cooling system. These big "AI" databases are also using water to cool the components like how they're being used in the computer, but unlike the example, it's not a closed-loop water cooling system, meaning that instead of the water being reused, it instead gets evaporated and participates in the water cycle. The problem with this is that water used in these open-loop systems is evaporated, meaning it is remove from the local water cycles, making fresh water less accessible in areas that already face shortages, so while the amount of fresh water on Earth stays the same, it becomes inaccessible to the people, which leads to the current situation where more than a billion people don't have enough access to fresh water while big "AI" databases are using over 100 million liters daily. This is only one of the alarming consequences of "AI". This however could be easily fixed by using a closed-loop water cooling systems that use renuable energy sources for the energy required to pump and cool the system. However, sadly, in our current capitalist society, the rich are too greedy and corrupt to save lives and actually help the people.
