Makes you think about the headline. "Could disarm US Supreme Court" is at that point hyperbolic and misleading.

What a cop-out. You don't care about better outcomes for people. You care about winning.

Not even one single Democrat voted for this bill in the House. What makes you think they'll do it in the Senate? I understand Democrats suck, but come on.

But they didn't. Shelby County, TN, which is where this plant is, is a blue county that overwhelmingly voted against Trump and the Republicans. It was 36.42% Trump, 61.80% Harris in this county. Shelby county is majority black, and you're over here giggling that these people are breathing in carcinogens from an AI data center. Hate poisons your mind.

The exact same logic they apply to us, the exact same mental processes that make you dehumanize them in your mind. These things are poison for your mental wellbeing, and serve as a distraction from the real enemies: the ruling class. You will never have a working class movement to rise up against the power of the ruling class and capital with this mindset. This type of thinking is one of the obstacles we must overcome if we are ever going to achieve things like a general strike. But you don't care about that. You want catharsis, schadenfreude, and to take joy in others' suffering. For what? What purpose does it serve? You're not speaking to these people. You're just shitposting on the internet, spreading rhetoric that keeps the working class divided against one another. When you get a chance to talk to these folks, you should absolutely tear into them for their choices, make them face the impact of what they do, and don't allow them to be comfortable in their ignorance. But this? Posting online about how you like the idea of people being subjected to carcinogens because they "deserve" it? You realize the neighborhoods impacted by this are primarily black, right? You think they deserve this? Are you for real? Log off and join a protest, attend union meetings, something but whatever this is? Think critically about what you're doing and saying. Your words have power. Most of the people on this forum are left-leaning working class people. Hate makes us weak.

Don't tolerate hate, obviously. Just be above wishing harm on people.

The embarrassing thing is wishing harm on working class people instead of building solidarity

I think you live in a bubble.

Wishing harm on them does less than nothing to help the situation we're in. It only makes you a worse person.

You have nothing good to say left, obviously, because you're just attacking my character instead of my point. This conversation is over.
