The rage that I am suppressing at this moment could set countries alight.

The data center build-out raises the question of what kind of data they are expecting to be crunching. My guess is that they expect to produce fantasy video for consumers of same.And for tracking the movements, communications, financial activities, and associations of anybody who doesn't fucking like it. Yeah.

I wanted to think about this a bit before I circled back, because I didn't want my emotions about the csam to influence my response. But I do want to circle back about "jihad".
Jihad is an Arabic word that does not mean "holy war", nor does it have anything to do with the Jewish people.
Jihad literally means " to struggle".
While I have read Quran, I am not Islamic, and I beg my Islamic cousins to forgive me if misspeak, but in it and Hadith there are listed:
Jihad al-Nafs (Major, Struggle against one's own desires)
Jihad al-Akbar (Greater Jihad, referring to the struggle against one's own ego and weaknesses)
Jihad al-Asghar (Lesser Jihad, referring to armed struggle in defense of the faith)
The West has taken a 1400 year old word with many contexts, and reduced it to antisemitism, which is kinda insane when you think about it.
(Granted, some irreligious Arabs, myself included, declare jihad on all sorts of things, like jars that won't open.)
