@Ooze no, fuck the system they have to survive under that makes them do this. Fuck the managers that ordered them to. Fuck the company whose business strategy required it.
Blame where blame is deserved. The workers themselves had the absolute least say in this, and the most to lose (livelihood).
@rysiek Workers have the most power to change the system, if they have solidarity. Until we can realise this and put our power into action ain't nothing going to change. Perpetuating the worker victim mentality just plays into the hands of those who don't want us to realise our power.
> Workers have the most power to change the system, if they have solidarity.
I agree!
> Until we can realise this and put our power into action ain't nothing going to change.
That too!
But how does building that necessary solidarity work if you start with "fuck the workers"?.. It doesn't, that's how.
The fact that workers have the power to change the system doesn't necessarily mean *they are to blame* for the system.
And blaming them is not going to get you what you want.
@rysiek I sincerely hope they charge individuals responsible for their crimes. Try them and let justice have its day. Mere fines are not enough. People need to see there are repercussions to their actions and that a company can’t simply pay as a cost of doing business.
@rysiek And fuck @HennaVirkkunen who gave the green light for this abomination months ago. https://ec.social-network.europa.eu/@HennaVirkkunen/117008348161347403
@rysiek Fascists overplay their hand because they think "the law won't come for me."
@mast0d0nphan well let's see what the Finnish authorities actually do. I will agree Google overplayed their hand if:
- the construction of these datacenters is legally denied; and
- Google is forced to replant the trees; and
- somebody from Google actually personally goes to jail.
I love the story you just wrote. It has a happy ending. I hope it’s non-fiction.
That is a crime against the nature, and with our climate crisis, a crime against humanity. How dare they. Fine google. Fine them so much money that google wouldn't dare ever illegally destroy again. Make it cost them hundreds of billions of dollars. $1 billion for every tree they felled.
@rysiek Fuck the workers who did it.
