Fully agree with the class struggle aspect here.

Weavers destroying industrial looms. How would that translate to today?

Datacenters are the modern industrial looms if we're using that metaphor.

They're the machine that create profit for people who are unconcerned with the damage that they do to the population.

Aren't datacenters more like the factory halls for the looms?

And in any case, who is destroying them (who are the weavers)?
