They absolutely do this but it doesn’t mean anti datacenter people are wrong. Russia, China, Iran all use amplification techniques to destabilize other countries. You don’t need a complex propaganda plan when you can just amplify every divisive topic and get brexit.
You don’t need a complex propaganda plan when the U.S. government and corporations conspire daily for new ways to fuck us over. It’s not propaganda at that point.
Why not both? The word propaganda is a bit problematic as it encapsulates too much these days simply because our information landscape is much richer. It can be a valid issue that is amplified by bad actors and it’s still propaganda.
What makes it apparent imo is the “water use” discussions around data centers which frankly are so delulu that it reeks of artificial stimulation. If you’re not familiar there’s basically no water use issue with data center in any meaningful extent other than moving water and we solved moving water 2 millenia ago.
Great standard of evidence there: “even when I have to admit the cause of a problem in the West might not be Foreigners, it could also be foreigners as well!”
Because calling it propaganda is also propaganda. It’s just another distraction from the fact that a man with 34 felonies has not been sentenced, nobody from the Epstein files has been prosecuted and both Democratic and Republican politicians are more interested in supporting Israel’s genocide than serving the American people.
The profound xenophobia of westerners mean they don’t even hesitate to make assertions about “enemy” countries despite the fact they have zero evidence, not even bad evidence, other than their own gut feelings of hostility. What evidence do they have that china “absolutely attempts to turn Americans against Data centers”? None at all, but that doesn’t matter, it’s a negative accusation against a non western nation. What evidence do they have that Iran uses “amplification techniques” to destabilize the West? Well it just feels true, after all, they are coniving foreigners, and surely they must be responsible for the political issues in the West, as the West is too superior to be the source of its own problems.

Don’t see how “china is boosting datacenter misinformation” related to “US’ president is a felon”
I think you’re a bit lost here.
