#boycott apple

Basically, if you don’t know: The people of the Democratic Republic of the Congo (Or the DRC) has been suffering due to big tech companies like Apple, Alphabet Inc., Google, Dell, Microsoft and Tesla. They have been exploiting Congo’s land for their minerals like Diamonds, Gold, Copper, Cobalt, Tin, Tantalum and Lithium. These companies use these minerals to make phones, cars, computers and other technology.

The people of Congo are being treated like dirt, like they worth less than the colonizers stealing from them. The colonizers, which they call ‘Rebels’ have been r*ping, killing brutally, enslaving, and starving them. They are being kicked out of their land because these big tech companies want it. They’re being killed and r*ped because these big tech companies think they have the right.

This isn’t right!! So research what’s going on, tell others, spread awareness. Look up what companies are exploiting Congo and boycott. Don’t buy their stuff, keep using your phone or laptop until it’s broken and unusable.

spread awareness!!

recently, i joined a tumblr community for Pluribus discussion. so far, everyone has been discussing Carol's struggles with her sexuality, the parallels between the hivemind and the conversion camp in Carol's youth, and heavy topics leaning to that direction;

there was a clear Carol love going on, but that's just my opinion

anyway, i shared some of my thoughts there about two hours ago, and got the notifications that some of my posts were removed due to:

"Unnecessarily combative one of the rules are constructive respectful criticism

this one? fair

i did call her a shitty person, admin's not wrong

Unnecessarily combative

now, my thoughts :)

i'm aware i say uncomfortable shit. trust me, i know

i say things that hold up a mirror to people, and most don't like what they see. since this summer, i've been experiencing this in friendships, in professional relationships, with relatives. and, of course, online

i've been back to tumblr for about a month, maybe less, and let's say this is the second time something like this is happening. i'm aware i'm the problem lol

but look, hear me out

fictional discourse is fictional, first of all. me saying Carol or whatever character i'm talking about is a shitty person, i'm talking about a fictional character. a person that does not exist. i'm aware the words i choose are aggressive, yes, but the points i'm making aren't. my message isn't

it's just cold and honest, from my context

i love discussions, i love debating, and i love respectful dialogue. i don't appreciate being silenced because my opinion is not agreed with

anyway, ended up making this about myself a bit too much, my bad

all of this to say, fictional discourse is meant to be transparent, cold, and honest. consuming and debating media is how we develop critical thinking the best.

this should be encouraged, not squashed

thanks for reading, i appreciate it! hope you're having a good day, wherever you are :)
