@freakazoid @InternetEh Because you think climate change is a hoax?
@jramskov @freakazoid dipshit thing to assume
@InternetEh @freakazoid Sorry. In my defence, I’ll say it was in response to a comment that could be interpreted in many ways.
@jramskov because the lithium needed for the tesla batteries is mined in bolivia, a country that the owner of tesla encouraged a coup in so he could have control of the mines. the violent imperialism necessary for electric vehicles is way more harmful that whatever car culture youre worried about. not to mention slavery and child labor in the cobalt mines in Congo also for the tech industry. this art is wonderful because of it's anti-colonial implications.
@thief Car culture I’m worried about?
It’s funny how the cobalt mining is so often mentioned when talking about BEV’s. Cobalt is used other places too, like oil refineries, but that hasn’t stopped people driving ICE vehicles.
BEV’s will not save the world, but overall, they’re vastly better for the climate and environment vs ICE vehicles.
