A couple good videos featuring Derrick Broze of The Conscious Resistance:
In the second video, he talks about a global rally about raising awareness and pushback against data centers, August 1st, 2026.
IMO, we all need to organize a rally or do/prep something for that.
That's not much time to get our shit together.
I'm hoping we'll have a rally in Windsor with WEFreedom.ca folks.
Ideally we'd get some info-pamphlets together to print and share with folks. I'm hoping SubMatrix.net folks can help aggregate good info for this.
If we raise the ceiling on interest banks pay it will end speculative over-investment in data-centers.
Look at the negative ROI AI Data Centers have. That is why they don't make the ROI public. It is Welfare Capitalism for the companies doing AI Data Centers that could have gone to help the homeless or poor.
True. Much like the military.
We don't need so much military or A.I. - but both can and will be used against us.
Simon Dixon says, like in so many other examples (ie. Dot Bomb), the first round will invest (gamble) hugely and lose hugely and most will fail a few will survive, the losses externalized and socialized, and the second round who buy up the fails will be the actual winners.
This is like the 1990s, when MCI and Sprint laid down too much fiber optic cable and couldn't get enough subscribers to pay for it. So they went out of business, and when broadband Internet became popular in the 2000s, companies bought out the fiber optic network for cheap.
Zactly.
The new tech isn't going anywhere.
Maybe new owners, but the tyranny flavour lasts and lasts.

Announcing Reclaim Our Future: A Nonpartisan National Day of Action Against Data Centers
Independent journalists and activists are coming together to launch a National Day of Action Against Data Centers on Saturday August 1st, focused on protests, rallies, marches, teach in's and educational events around the rapid build out of hyperscale AI data centers.
ROF aims to build a non-partisan, non-violent alliance of activists, advocates, independent media outlets, individuals, influencers, and organizations who are ready to hit the streets and raise our voices. We believe it's time to collectively take a stand against the rapid acceleration in data center development.
"While some movements are focused on exclusively speaking to Conservatives or Liberals, we are willing to work with left, right, center, and politically homeless Americans who feel betrayed by both parties, " co-founder and independent journalist Derrick Broze said. "We are a non-violent, nonpartisan movement that opposes the expansion of data centers because of the threats to the environment and wildlife, the expansion of surveillance, and in the interest of a human-centered future."
We stand for a future and a world where the health of humanity, the environment, and wildlife takes precedence over the unchecked expansion of hyperscale AI-focused data centers.
We stand firmly against hyperscale data centers and AI tools which will disempower humanity, cause further destruction to the natural world, and increase the ability for state and corporate surveillance.
We demand local officials implement a moratorium on the construction of new data centers until adequate protections for the people, the environment, and wildlife are put in place. These protections could include but are not limited to local ordinances establishing noise limits, water protections, and specific zoning for data centers.
We are also demanding transparency from governments and corporate firms building the data centers with annual reports on air pollution, water consumption, etc.
"AI power plants can't hold a candle to People Power. This is the true power we must tap into right now, and Reclaim Our Future is kickstarting the generator." says Hakeem Anwar, co-founder and author of the AI Data Center Ecology Report. "Thousands of activated humans across 50 states, putting their hearts and minds together to address a problem that regulations won't. Its time to step up and organize, wherever you are."
Join Reclaim Our Future on August 1st for a National Day of Action Against Data Centers.
