>>212042660Why are you angry at me for sharing verifiable facts? Rationally think about it.
>>212042631I'm pretty sure I explained to you how it can make perfect sense for people that are impacted by your lifestyle in extremely negative ways to dislike you. They can also dislike me, and I wouldn't blame them. Through unequal exchange, you are perpetuating a system that is hurting a lot of people. It is something you know, and you are choosing to deliberately fuel it despite that the fact that it is causing immense suffering to a lot of people. It's simple.
In the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), for example, a significant portion of the world's cobalt comes from locally run mines. Children, as young as 5, are often employed to dig for cobalt. They may work barefoot in deep, unstable mines or carry heavy loads of ore for a few dollars a day, all while their health is at severe risk from dust inhalation, collapse, or poisoning from chemicals used to extract metals. This is something they'll do until they die. This is one of the countless examples out there. It's not reduced to merely cobalt mining. You might also get the parents of said child killed by a drone strike your taxpayers money financed.
