Good for them. They're taking a break from killing.


No one in the congo gives a shit about me and I don't give a shit about them.

Yep.

And that child labor is absolutely essential for those electric cars.

Now show pictures of a lithium mine (protip - theyre massive poisonous scars in the ground with cancer causing tailings that destroy all vegetation and wildlife for kilometers around them.
But EV clowns ignore that.

This one looks like there isn’t shit to destroy or worry about for 100 miles in all directions.

God forbid the giant pit of rock and dirt and the surrounding areas be poisoned. But this photo might be the ideal situation.

Some nigger archeologist will find it some day and will call it Niggetlantis or something.

Nigglet slaves is the best argument in favor of electric cars.

Shovels are worth more than their lives, over there. Pickaxe? Forgetaboutit.

Yea, I know they would just sell the tools.

If I could make a guaranteed income mining, the first thought would be tools and working to scale my operation.

But niggers.

We should breed them to eat rocks so we can use them like borer bees to drill mineshafts.

CBS News, but there's some footage between the bouts of feigned concern.

Fuck those niggers. Whip them harder and get more cobalt.

What was the statistics i was reading... 30% of the mined cobalt in congo is artisanal. Pickaxes and shovels.
And about 80% of the cobalt produced in the world is from congo.

So?
Who cares?

How inefficient.

You are looking it from wrong side. How niggefficient.

I wonder what their lives will be like when AI machines take over?
