    good for you, wipe your hands clean from caring about anything

    I wonder whose government assisted the Indonesian army in overthrowing their progressive president and slaughtering 100,000s of Indonesian leftists?

    Could it have been your government the United States that did this with your grandparents tax money? Midwest.social user?

    FIFY

    If you actually consider yourself a leftist commenting on c/communism you are beyond a disgrace, read the Jakarta Method by Vincent Bevins and learn something

      The thing is, you’re blaming the consumer when most EV consumers are just trying to do their part to reduce emissions. I don’t understand why you’re so mad that some people are trying to point out that the cooperations are doing the bad thing. I think it’s wrong, I am sure, as you cite, that the buck doesn’t stop with the Indonesian government (I’m aware of many of the atrocities my government has perpetrated), but acting like the consumer is the one at fault is counterproductive.

      Also, your hostility and assumptions don’t make for a very productive conversation. I could have said more before, so that’s on me, but assuming that I have “wiped my hands clean from caring about anything” is a huge leap from my original statement.
