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

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

Well here you go, you could have clicked the link in the first paragraph of the article if you were so curious, but nonetheless

As with uncontacted peoples the world over, forced contact has been disastrous for the Hongana Manyawa. Between the 1970s and 1990s, many Hongana Manyawa were forcibly contacted, evicted from the rainforest and taken to new villages by the government and missionaries. This immediately exposed them to terrible outbreaks of diseases to which the Hongana Manyawa had no immunity and which they still refer to as “the plague”. In a two-month period, in one village alone, it is estimated that between 50 and 60 people died, almost one person every day.

The uncontacted Hongana Manyawa have made it clear – time and time again – that they do not want to be contacted, to settle or have outsiders come into their rainforest. They are very much aware of the dangers which forced contact brings. As with the uncontacted Sentinelese people of India, it is little wonder that they have been known to defend their lands by shooting arrows at those who force their way in.

Everyone would need to pack their own meals and bring their own tents to sleep in, most modern armies top out at a million people, imagine trying to coordinate anything with 100 million people, Tokyo has 40 million people and is the biggest city in the world, it would be logistically impossible on so many different levels

I'm guessing this is from consumer pressure, until the Switch people definitely bought more physical copies of games and the minority of people got digital versions of DS/Wii-U games, but now so many people are using nintendo online and buying virtual copies people probably would not buy the next console if they had to buy the games they liked again.
