I’m guessing this is from consumer pressure, until the Switch people definitely bought more physical copies of games and the minority of people got digital versions of DS/Wii-U games, but now so many people are using nintendo online and buying virtual copies people probably would not buy the next console if they had to buy the games they liked again.

Everyone would need to pack their own meals and bring their own tents to sleep in, most modern armies top out at a million people, imagine trying to coordinate anything with 100 million people, Tokyo has 40 million people and is the biggest city in the world, it would be logistically impossible on so many different levels

They were one of the three House Republicans that voted for the Pro Act, the vast minority position among the party, which at least makes it interesting that they were picked, who knows how they will actually operate though

NPR will probably respond to this by hiring 50 republicans and still get defunded

It says so in the article, I usually don’t change the title of the article

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

You’re so smart! I surrender, don’t think I’m cut out for the marketplace of ideas!

Maybe just maybe it is bad to be mining resources from uncontacted tribes who could not possibly consent to any of this, no matter how much you want to abstract it and say it’s no one’s fault for doing it.

Well here you go, you could have clicked the link in the first paragraph of the article if you were so curious, but nonetheless

As with uncontacted peoples the world over, forced contact has been disastrous for the Hongana Manyawa. Between the 1970s and 1990s, many Hongana Manyawa were forcibly contacted, evicted from the rainforest and taken to new villages by the government and missionaries. This immediately exposed them to terrible outbreaks of diseases to which the Hongana Manyawa had no immunity and which they still refer to as “the plague”. In a two-month period, in one village alone, it is estimated that between 50 and 60 people died, almost one person every day.

The uncontacted Hongana Manyawa have made it clear – time and time again – that they do not want to be contacted, to settle or have outsiders come into their rainforest. They are very much aware of the dangers which forced contact brings. As with the uncontacted Sentinelese people of India, it is little wonder that they have been known to defend their lands by shooting arrows at those who force their way in.

good for you, wipe your hands clean from caring about anything

I wonder whose government assisted the Indonesian army in overthrowing their progressive president and slaughtering 100,000s of Indonesian leftists?

Could it have been your government the United States that did this with your grandparents tax money? Midwest.social user?

FIFY

If you actually consider yourself a leftist commenting on c/communism you are beyond a disgrace, read the Jakarta Method by Vincent Bevins and learn something
