You can’t fix the problems with AI or datacenters until you change the system you live under. Opposing their construction is like putting a band aid on your measles outbreak. You literally will not be able to stop their build out if what you are saying is true. My point here is that there is no alternative than overthrowing capitalism, all the whining on Lemmy will do less than fucking nothing. I guess I do have some optimism that they will be able to solve problems with computers, and I think that a non capitalist organization can solve all the problems you mentioned. Go ahead and do your liberal opposition and fail.
Some nebulous idea of “we have to overthrow capitalism” is far less useful than you think it is. An organized movement to carry such a thing out, which is built through rallying around specific issues; like the build out of AI and data centers, ICE, war, whatever it is that effectively lies bare the contradictions inherent to one’s life under capitalism and drives folks to organize; is the actual action that comes from “all the whining” that you are currently whining about.
Excuse your nihilism however you want but your feelings are not reality and are every bit as useless as you’re trying to portray the resistance to data centers is. What you’re doing here is rejecting the revolutionaries for the revolution… you can’t just skip to the fun part without having done the work to get there.
