I doubt it means anything will change, but I think he is signalling that this specifically is an issue that he doesn't really care about which is diverging from the wider Trump 2024 campaign, he almost certainly will still throw his support behind bans from the military and bans of trans youth care

The President-elect’s campaign spent millions demonizing transgender Americans, and House Republicans just passed an anti-trans bathroom ban targeting Rep.-elect Sarah McBride.

I think the article is referring to children that need medical treatment that can not be offered in Gaza do to lack of supplies, specialists and facilities, not children that need families, although most families there need new homes in general since they have been destroyed

How else will they be able to continue justify pulling coal out of the ground if they have a robust power grid based on renewables
It's relatively normal in countries that still have conscription, if you don't serve and don't get an exception, you go to jail, otherwise what is the point of conscription vs just making it voluntary. The more damaging thing for these teens will be the social and career repercussions they face for refusing to serve, they will be barred from many lucrative jobs that will automatically filter out people who refused to serve, etc.
I can't recall any stories of any objectors enduring anything particularly bad, maybe it would get worse if more people started doing it, barely anyone rejects their service, even during active moments of conflict
That, as I stated before, is not the title. It is the title YOU gave the post.
When you post an article into lemmy, it will grab a title that was specified in a field by the article, this was the title it grabbed, YOU can test this out for youself by creating a post with the same link, I DID NOT create the title, it was automatically fetched by lemmy, which means at some point in time this article had this title.
I don't disagree it is primarily the companies faults for accepting minerals mined from places where they shouldn't be. If the mining company couldn't sell their minerals they wouldn't bother mining it there in the first place.
I think the reason the title is called "EV obsession is placing an entire population at risk of genocide" is to one catch the eyes of the reader who might not know much about where the minerals to make electric batteries come from and two to highlight since their is so much more demand because of the proliferation of EVs these mineral companies are looking to mine in much greater quantities everywhere and anywhere which is why there is a push to mine in this territory to begin with.
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.
This article did not point the finger at "the little people" in any way, including either version of the title
It’s obscene that a nickel rush to fuel supposedly sustainable consumption is in fact on the verge of wiping out the uncontacted Indigenous Hongana Manyawa, who truly live sustainably.
Survival International is calling for the urgent, immediate recognition and demarcation of their territory, an end to mining on their land and the establishment of a ‘no-go zone’ – the only way to ensure the survival of the uncontacted Hongana Manyawa people.
It’s also vital that electric vehicle manufacturers publicly commit to ensuring that their supply chains are entirely free of materials stolen from the territories of uncontacted Indigenous peoples, or from companies operating on (or sourcing from) the territories of uncontacted peoples, including the Hongana Manyawa.
The most it did is call for international recognition of their territory and EV manufacturers "publicly commit to ensuring their supply chains are entirely free of materials stolen from the territories of uncontacted Indigenous peoples or from companies operating on (or sourcing from) the territories of uncontacted peoples"
They are saying that the demand for EVs is causing this, which it is, if the "little people" in great numbers did not want to buy EVs the companies would not be rapidly expanding mineral extraction into places where they haven't historically done so. They did not pin the blame solely or mostly on the "little people" given their stated demands of accountability from international bodies and companies. Just because you and most of the other people took issue with the phrase "EV Obsession" does not change this.
It's something Marco Rubio has been pushing for years and he was nominated for a cabinet position, so I guess he gets rewarded with this
