Comment As if this is somehow new and urgent... (Score 1) 35

Which it is not. This industry has been in business for decades. This isn't a new, unusual burden on the electrical systems, it's tech that is new and unique. Not that the industry might be able to optimize their processes, but that's their business, and we rarely consider asking data centers to do that at any scale, which, BTW, they do do already, for profit.

You would think, huh.

I was interested in the raw data regarding left- and right-wing violence. So much sop that I read the article at https://ccjls.scholasticahq.co... referenced in Wikipedia...

One incident caught my eye. Attributed to a right-wing assailant, I looked for biographical information. What I found was confusing.

This assailant, described elsewhere as right-wing, was black, homosexual, partnered with a Democratic party member who later was elected to public office as a Democrat. The assailant left a manifesto, ascribing one motivation for their attacks to a church shooting. None of this, on the surface, describes a 'typical' right-winger. But that attack is often categorized as a right-wing incident. Confusing, as I said, though the https://ccjls.scholasticahq.co... article described this as ' a response to some of the more egregious actions by the far-right'. Consider that language; 'more egregious', 'far-right'. I sense an implicit bias, but then I'm sensitized to that and may be mistaken.

Try as I may, I still find the studies to be biased, and often ignoring substantial incidents that could be categorized as politically motivated violence. It's interesting, and I am studying it more carefully.

It fits well. First, I describe motivation, not action. Second, following the Wikipedia article, several of the footnoted articles actually failed to find significant (discernable is the word) differences in the motivations or tactics of the Left or Right. But more telling, the Wikipedia article seemed to ignore rioting, occupation, etc associated with Antifa, one reference describing these as "violence in the context of ideological clashes at protests". But not political? There is even significant comparison to Islamic violence, which I'll submit is ideological at it's root.

This Wikipedia article I think is terribly flawed, which of course I would think, given it's pretty well titled towards declaring right-wing violence as more prevalent, and extreme, than that of other political movements.

And finally, I was stuck by the article tendency to describe what was identified as right-wing violence as 'extreme', with references to left-wind violence generally lacking such a label.

I reject their premise, dispute their statistical analysis, and in all this, still submit that the Left in America is motivated, motivated, by violent envy. Emotional, strident, extreme envy. It is expressed in many ways. Physical violence is only one means. Legislation, media reporting, do I have to drag you through that? You're not that dense.

The rank and file Left in America is motivated by violent envy. They are taught this in our public schools, reinforced in media, and encouraged by their self-serving leadership, who crave power and control. This is a Marxism strategy, plain on its face.

Now watch the useful idiots try and refute history and fact. Or employ ad hominem attacks, wailing 'you $$@&^@ l' or whatever. They are lost in their hate. Cannot be reached.
