America (well, technically, the federal government of the United States of America) has not had an ounce of credibility in 15 years, at least.
It's laughable to assume otherwise.
The USA has 5% of the global population. The rest of the 95% of the globe's population harbors no illusions about "American moral authority".
This article, and the story it contains, is abhorrent. Disgusting. Saddening. America is breeding, and paying, war criminals.
I have friends/family in the military. I don't talk to most of them anymore.
How can I pretend to be friends with people who are part of a system of global oppression, murder, and violence?
- cbozeman 6y agoPlease get rid of all your cobalt-containing electronics. You're part of a system of African child slave labor.
- Fnoord 6y agoMost cobalt is from DRC and almost all cobalt from there is derived from child labor. It isn't slave labor; they get paid, though low wage. However child labor is bad as it is. It isn't as simple as boycotting though; families depend on the income. They shouldn't; children should go to school. That's why the Fair Cobalt Alliance (FCA) [1] was initiated.
