Names Matter

Unfortunately I think this is basically correct. This is similar to the fact that a lot of left would get behind space colonization and/or exploration if we called it โ€œspace trans-ingโ€ or โ€œspace deocolonialismโ€ or something equally asinine while changing nothing else at all.

The reality is that names matter. They are built-in propaganda. We should probably call data centers โ€œTax Concentration Areasโ€ or โ€œVital National Infrastructureโ€ or a โ€œDigital Sovereignty Facilityโ€ or something like that to make them more normie-palatable.
