Comment on ‘Don’t Patronize Us’: Data Center Charm Offensive Irks Opponents in Rural Georgia
betterdeadthanreddit@lemmy.world 1 day agoPeople in the article are upset because of the blatant pandering. Data center tech bros handed out some flag shirts on photo shoot day to score easy points, expecting Georgians to lube up for the red white and blue, but must’ve been laying it on too thick for the simpletons’ liking.
What I’m saying is that the reason SF tech bros imagine the average Georgian as a stereotypical caricature of the southern idiot is because the average Georgian is a stereotypical caricature of the southern idiot.

Probably visitors from a literate state helping out the locals. They don’t tend to stick around for long.
