It's fucking disgusting. Native Americans still fight for land, and the Supreme Court (even when Ruth B. Ginsberg was on the court) never rules in their favor.

The 2019, US-backed coup in Bolivia intended to confiscate the nation's lithium, and Elon Musk Tweeted "we'll coup who want" to publicly announce his support for the bloody event. I suspect the US was behind the 2022 ousting of Peru's first socialist/leftist president for the same reason.

Biden introduced legislation to recognize Australia, the largest lithium producer, as a domestic supplier under the Defense Production Act to obtain essential resources for US consumption.

The Bolivian, Peruvian, and Australian indigenous communities and environment suffer the impacts of mining, while the consumer culture pats itself on the back for buying an electric car.

We're so dumb. Consumption ignites the environment's destruction, and we ignore the most important Rs in the 4 Rs; REDUCE and REFUSE. Saving the planet by buying green shit is a ridiculous excuse to maintain the profit-driven model that founds our demise.

It's so frustrating.
