Have you ever noticed how anarchists being infantilized is a fairly recent phenomenon?

As a 36 year old anarchist my experience has been people have no concept of anarchist theory whatsoever. They legitimately think we just want to abolish the state and turn the world into mad max. They dont know any famous anarchists or their works. They think we dont have a plan we're just big mad about the world. Its easily refuted if you can get them to listen but its mentally taxing to start from that misconception. We have a storied history of trying to protect you people from all myriad of abuses and all you do is spit in our faces.

The staff wont stop you but if you arent familiar with how to isolate electrical equipment with more than one source of power you might get yourself killed.

What's the deal with AI datacenters using water for cooling?

The water is used to absorb heat and reject it outside. It will not be contaminate. It evaporates into the air which depletes local water supply. Could it come back? Sure. Can you guarantee it will? No.

Agriculture by and large still uses the most water but in the year of our lord 2026 theres no reason to not be building closed loop data centers. Evaporative cooling is mostly done in places where water is cheaper than power. Its still grossly irresponsible but that doesnt matter if their arent laws on the books.

Racks most people could probably manage but then you're ignoring all the goodies in the cooling and electrical distribution equipment. Think ram is expensive? Try pricing the support equipment.

Sorry which government has proven itself at the 8 billion mark? Ah the scale arguement. Have you ever considered scale may not be a good thing? Can you think of any modern projects that required 50k people all having input into how to do it? Sounds like subtraction by addition to me. Do you think congress would be more effective with more members or less?

Maybe all those small communities vote on an issue and elect a delegate to pass on their vote to a larger body. Maybe that body also sends a delegate to a larger body. Maybe we do that across the nation. The cool thing about delegates is they only deliver your message instead of going rogue with their own. Sounds efficient to me and we get to keep our close communities.

What happens when an enemy entity tries to take over any group of people? If we go on that basis then every single form of government is a failure because an example of each has fallen to an enemy army. Small collectives having the termerity to govern themselves doesnt make them wrong because they lacked guns. Empires have fallen for the same reason. Anarchism to me is not violent revolution its building a system that makes the state obsolete.
