Reuters reports that around 100 people made it into the construction site, with some scaling a crane to place a “fuck AI” banner. Protesters also unfurled a “Microsoft powers genocide” banner on the construction site, and chanted “Microsoft has got to go” and “free Palestine.”
Algorithms really got Gen Z to stop spelling “fuck”, huh?
Good.
Tear’em up! Burn’em down!
Breaking in isn’t protesting.
To be fair, there are protests around the world about everything from social inequality to datacenters.
It has zero effect on decisions being made. So at some point, people will actually have to do something and not just stand around with banners.
Its necessary since current leaders don’t fear the people and in fact are laughing at them.
Actual change comes from people having enough power to say no more. This is a fact, and it’s needed in this very special time when peoples wishes are ignored completely.
Breaking into a building is not a protest, it’s a crime.
Holy shit the amount of bot lickers in this thread is astounding.

rrrriiiight. So 100% politically motivated.
Any reason why these protests shouldn’t be completely ignored by normal people?
edit I take that as a no
Normal people oppose genocide.
Of course. Normal people can also correctly identify genocide.
There’s still people like you? Wow!
This is an 80/20 issue now, normal people hate Israel.
Well you know when an entire group of people on being killed because of who they are. Yeah that’s genocide. It’s actually really easy to identify it has a very particular look.
Yep, we agree on that. Some people still get it amazingly wrong (mostly false positives) because they just get their thinking from their ingroup.
What else would you desire motivate a protest? Oh no, please don’t protest genocide! The humanity!
you tit
Look at their post history, it’s absolutely shotgun there’s no consistency at all, so it’s almost certainly a bot.
I’m not unsympathetic to their cause, but I do expect that each and every one of these protesters then also boycotts all of Microsoft’s products; otherwise it would be hypocritical. In the end, that, if done en masse, will hit them harder than some banners…
You can protest something that you’re forced to use
Luddites never change.

Sorry for not spending my life on this.
That’s not the best way to do it.
