What better way could there be to resist?

My claim to fame after 9 years on Masto: screenshotting a YouTube comment.
But it makes perfect sense given that it touches (1) hating on destructive tech industry projects, (2) planting trees and (3) birbs.

You think Big Tech's gonna care? They got the money to pay off the fines if they develop there anyways. Money is why Big Autos can skirt pollution laws and get off with a slap on the wrist while if small tuning shops try it, they're fined out of business (Christ, our legal system ain't fair in the slightest). What's stopping the same logic from being used by Big Tech?

Plus, Big Tech can just pay to get protections removed or weakened as others on this thread have said.

Shit, you know how speech opposing AI datacenters is protected by the First Amendment? Big Tech could pay to get those protections weakened or stripped too.

There's a great german book on the topic: "Wie man illegal einen Wald pflanzt" (how to illegally grow a forest). In a lot of jurisdictions certain trees and greenery are protected, so you can take back disused properties by throwing "seed bombs" and waiting a few years.

@heathborders as if that would be the justification they'd wait for. I think you're leaning into a classic reversal of responsibility in environmental destruction: saying that the only reason a legal protection was scrapped was because of irresponsible activists.

I think Trump and the GOP don't give 2 fucks about protected species and would pull protections just to own the libs. The only reason protections remain is bc the species fly under the radar.
