Socfin’s Destructive Empire: Palm Oil Deforestation and Human Rights Abuses in West Africa
A six-month investigation reveals Socfin's exploitation of rubber and palm oil in Ghana and Nigeria, leading to deforestation, landgrabbing and human rights abuses. SOCFIN is a palm oil company and member of the RSPO purportedly using "sustainable" palm oil. The company's activities have caused significant environmental and social harm, including the destruction of vital rainforests and the displacement of indigenous communities. Despite its substantial profits, Socfin's operations have left local communities impoverished and struggling financially for survival. Help them to survive each time you shop when you #Boycottpalmoil

i hate everything in this situation as much or more than the next guy but in typical liberal fashion, people are upset by americans being exploited in factory jobs without a hint of solidarity with international workers in the same position. americas evils are okay! as long as played out abroad
i have been joking that their plan is for your kids to grow up to work in a textile mill but they are serious
MacCALLUM: Will American workers make shirts and garments for the same--? Obviously the labor costs are so much cheaper overseas in those places
CHAVEZ-DeREMER: We're gonna onshore, repatriate some of these companies to invest in America directly so that we can build that workforce

"we prize freedom to more than freedom from" -ken liu, "thoughts and prayers"
i have learned that way too many americans see the concept of 'freedom' simply as the potential to be rich and privileged, even if they aren't, & not things like freedom from dying from a preventable illness if you're poor, or being imprisoned for minor crimes, or persecuted by the police, etc

why even now do so many liberals assume that the republicans are "idiots" who "don't understand" instead of willfully malicious evil fucking people?

measles situation is reminding me of my great aunt who died of covid. pentecostal and against vaccines on religious grounds, but begged and begged for a covid vax on her deathbed. docs told her it was too late, it wouldnt do anything, and she just kept saying how much she regretted not getting it
