The things going on in the Congo are some of the most horrific conditions imposed on human beings, but yet it is ironically required in order for anyone to have a cellphone so they can complain about injustices in the world, or to have an EV while they pretend like they’re not a direct supporter of slavery.
To go green means to knowingly and heartily accept the ongoing African and Chinese slave trade, and those same green slave drivers want to tell you how to be more virtuous about the environment.
Ever seen a black person driving a Tesla? Ever seen a Muslim on a computer? Didn’t there used to be names for people who sold out their own people like that?
Ever notice how any country with the name “Democratic” in it is anything but democratically represented?
Smartphones, computers and electric vehicles may be emblems of the modern world, but, says Siddharth Kara, their rechargeable batteries are frequently powered by cobalt mined by workers laboring in slave-like conditions in the Democratic Republic of Congo.

This isn’t a ‘green’ problem exclusively. The device you are using to post is part of the problem.
I’ll bet it feels great getting into a Tesla every morning though, or hopping on a virtue box from a cellphone, or playing those sweet PC games. Watch the green weenies try to squirm out of the glaring light on their gleeful support of child slavery in Africa.
Yeah, the difference is, in an effort to sound superior, people post snarky things about batteries in EVs made with slave labor from devices that use batteries made with slave labor.
I could see the less educated among us misunderstanding this thread for the OP complaining about slave labor, so lemme just make it clear that this thread is making fun of the hypocrites who demanded this in the first place. I’m a straight white male, I don’t give two ■■■■■ about the rest of the world. Never have, never pretended to.
The best part is, they’re going to buy MORE slave-made objects, on purpose, to make their own lives more comfortable at the cost of African children.
It’s just like when their ancestors directly owned people, but with extra steps to soothe that guilty conscience of theirs.
