it matters not to me if internet infrastructure is by some measure more destructive than plumbing and water harvesting/testing/decontaminating/transporting infrastructure. or vice versa. they are both - along with so many other "conveniences" of civilization - immeasurably destructive and require the oppression of huge numbers of living beings in order to be even feasible.

i have been a proponent of "total cost" analysis since way before i discovered my anarchy. when i first went off-grid, i did serious analysis of the true total cost of solar energy. in addition to the incredible and widespread destruction caused by the manufacture and distribution of solar panels and batteries, as of a few years ago, they still didn't know how to dispose of that stuff in an environmentally safe way. yet i still use em, it provides me some minimal conveniences while being independent of the electrical grid. priorities being completely subjective, of course.
