Nickel is used for lots of things
"EV obsession" is not a thing unless "ICE obsession" exists, and both sound ridiculous
The mining companies are responsible for their own actions, not consumers at large
Indonesia is letting this occur and could theoretically step in at any time as far as I can tell
Genocides are always on "an entire population" so that phrase is meaningless

We definitely have an obsession for cars in North America and "EV obsession" is just an extension of that.

What do you mean by your last point. Genocide only being on whole population. Where did you get this definition.

The word. Genus-cide.

It's the killing of a genus, a race.

I categorically disagree, and callous people like you are the reason why something like this is allowed to happen in the first place

Will you categorically stomp your foot and ignore every single argument in that comment as well? Because you're almost there!

Blaming consumers for things that happen at least three indirections removed from them is childish. A consumer cannot know where all the resources are coming from.

Blaming EVs for this, is just as childish, if not actively evil, since the alternative would be oil extraction and that's not exactly clean and happy either.
