  • This is literally oil company propaganda. Oil extraction is an absolutely massive humanitarian cost that dwarfs all the cobalt mines in existence.

    Cobalt extraction in DRC is an inexcusable humanitarian cost as well. I don’t deny that.

    But oil companies like to run the line that evironmentalism and exploitation of labor are going hand in hand. The truth is that exploitation and capitalism are the bedfellows and cause here. Just as they are on a much larger scale with oil. Environmentalism has nothing to do with it. Greed, racism, a long history of oppression, and the psychopaths who run our world are to blame. Not “going green”.

    A proper title and focus of this film would be " Making Money: The toxic cost of capitalism and greed".
