    Also, your hostility and assumptions don’t make for a very productive conversation.

    If you wanted to have a polite response you should not post Fify, that is a smarmy and rude way to talk, so practice what you preach

    I am not blaming the consumer, I am specifically pointing out that it is not just on Eramet and the Indonesian government who are responsible and pointing out that places closer to home to you were involved in making the Indonesian government the way it is, not just an isolated company and an isolated country leading to this

      Yes, I was being snarky about a title implicating the EV consumers and not the companies are truly responsible, when the article itself tells the real culprits. In fact, I liked the original title “The Global North’s rush for EVs are threatening an entire people with genocide (emphasis:mine)”, which more accurately puts responsibility on both the consumers and the companies.

      I trust you that my country probably made the dominos fall, but you mentioned the taxes of my grandparents- do you think they knew where that money was going? I mean, did you see who “we” elected? Many of “us” are controlled by a deceptive media system and secretive government that is actively trying to divide us. But the little people buying the EV (the ones having the “obsession”) are the wrong ones to be pointing the finger at.
