    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.

            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.

              That hasn’t been your claim until just now, though. You’ve been claiming that people experiencing the consequences of their actions is wishing harm on them, and that the positive expectation resulting from those consequences is somehow a moral failing on the part of the expectors. This latest thing is just what you’ve pivoted to to try and recoup some face, but you’re going to be much healthier as a person if you accept both that your initial position was wildly unpopular and try to work out why that was the case. It’s just us two here, nobody else is ever going to read this, does it really matter that much to convince me of your position?

              FWIW I agree with this newest one, that wishing the consequences of other people’s actions befall the blameless isn’t healthy. But accepting those actions will befall them nontheless is realistic, and hoping positive change might arise from the suffering is the only positive outlook you can have here.

                Well obviously I know that acceptance is healthy, and I’m doing a lot of work lately to focus on that. I still just overall think wishing harm on people is unproductive and unhealthy, even if the other person deserves it. That’s the core of my point. This new point I did pivot to is an example as to why that sort of behavior is unhealthy.
