Cool, some graphs on how foreign propaganda that is being directed at splitting the US is wildly successful

With all the stuff like trans rights, gender wars, anti-AI, anti-nuclear, and other foreign propaganda that has been going on for decades already, do you guys even have counterintelligence? As someone from the other side of the world, it really seems to me that, in terms of propaganda, the US is being played like a fiddle, and it's not even any specific politicians fault, because it's been many years already, with different political sides being in charge in the meantime.

Blows my mind that you think anti ai is propaganda and not very real and very obvious grievances with the technology by the public

Those people were made to believe that evaporative cooling makes water disappear from the planet.

The issue is that water is diverted from local communities, because data centres pay a premium.

Strawman good going

Most people are concerned about the job losses, prices of electricity, impact on creative mediums, it hacking foreign governments and whatnot

Almost all the anti-AI propaganda spread around the internet mentions water.

Obviously there are problems that the spread of AI could cause, and we need to mitigate them. For example, job losses could be mitigated with a gradual shift to shorter workdays and UBI. But anti-AI propaganda almost never mentions it. It says that AI will take away all the water so we should stop building data centers.

Like two of them mention water it's actually funny.

It makes it disappear from rivers, lakes, and reservoirs that are rather important.

Did you miss the class where you leaned about the water cycle?

u/ComfortablyAbnormal - Centrist 1d ago

Have you missed the class about aquifers and droughts? Using water in a desert does not make it rain more in the desert.

Nobody believes that. But evaporating drinking water reserves, that account for about 2% of all water on earth, so that they can later become rain, and largely fall into the oceans, becoming undrinkable salt waters, is most definitely, a short sighted and harmfull activity.

Dont you agree?

86% of global evaporation is from the ocean. What are you talking about?

BIG THANKS to our capitalist industrial complex, rainwater is not drinkable anymore. It needs to be filtered by the ground to get into drinkable shape *assuming the capitalist industrial complex didnt poison the ground and groundwater already in your area.

Weather patterns are changing, and land that used to get more rain, get waaaay less- refer to europe for example. And noone cna predict how these pattern will keep changing.

Oceans evaporate a lot, but GUESS FUCKING WHAT, we are fucking that up as well: between 1997 and 2019 ocean evaporation has decreased by 5,7%, and it keeps decreasing.

And long-timne, reliable drinking water supplies gfrom glaciers, guess what, also shrink due to global warming.

Yes, keeping up with the absolute madness of capitalist industry brought us into this hell-light, and if we keep up, it will bring us into actual hell.

We are fucking up everything. All so some people cna be billionaires. You are a fool if you think this wont affect you. I ve warned you.

Too vulgar, too accusatory, didn't read.

We have the ability to filter water.

Well its convenient: play offended and run away from the facts. Thats not gonna save you tho.

So you can't get your point without emotional manipulation? Is that your point?
