I've seen plenty videos of locals being violently removed from town halls due to displaying of anti AI sentiment. I wouldnt consider it fair to use these examples to tar the entirety of the pro AI camp. the way objectivity and subjectivity are intertwined in your comment is spectacular, ever considered a career in propaganda?

Do you have links to these videos?

You comment suggests you feel there is something wrong with what I said, could you elaborate?

They are probably talking about data centres and town hall meetings where people are objecting and being removed.

Even a casual search you will find numerous videos.

The only issue I see with your comment (and this thread stems off the misreading of my post), is that despite your "I see the difference" it is still labelling one side.

In truth, there are crazy people everywhere.

I don't think it was a misunderstanding, the comment was not addressing the content of your post, but rather the descision to bring it up in a context where they thought it not relevant.

Accuse the enemy of propaganda; insist there's plenty of evidence without linking a single source...

Have you considered maybe reading this comment out loud in front of a mirror?

umm have you considered that you can go to youtube and verify my claim whereas the other interlocutor explicitly refers to unverifiable personal anecdotes? and did you want to verify that I explicitly accused someone of propaganda?

I attempted that. In videos from the last year the only things I could find were some people protesting ICE, A person accusing a mayor of sexual assault, some republican party events with protestors, and a few of people speaking out of turn being walked off by security.

Without the specific examples you described I have no idea what you are talking about. It is either sufficiently old that it could be considered an isolated incident if no more recent incidents have since occurred, or it is considerably harder to find than you imagine.

I believe that I have witnessed at least 3 videos of americans being forcibly removed from town halls for speaking out against data centers. you are correct that search engines are not showing anything at all when searching for data centre forced removal. it took me ten minutes to find the most recent example from my memory[0]. something strange is happening, and when I see you act ostensibly in support of the side that is seemingly scrubbing search engine results, this is why I react poorly to your pro AI and pro system stance - the system does not need our good faith, the system already controls the narrative.

Seems a lot like you want me to accept your "unverifiable personal anecdote" about these videos...

i referred that way to the other commentor's anecdotes. regarding my end i provided evidence, and you can see other commentors in the same thread who also claim to have seen what i claim to have seen. maybe you misread the thread. either way, may things get better for you soon.
