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

          But… they wished the harm on themselves. That’s the whole point, that letting them suffer the consequences of their actions is the result of their own damned actions.

            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.

              People are pretty clearly talking about Tennessee as a whole, and you know that. Hell, the article itself discusses this in terms broader than just the county. Are you so dead set on being right that you can’t even reflect on your own position? Seriously, this is starting to progress beyond embarrassing and is becoming straight up concerning.

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

                    Just defending my apparently-controversial assertion that wishing harm on people in Memphis because Tennessee wound up voting for Trump in the 2024 election is cringe.
