it is not bad journalism though, there is a big difference between trying to increase your clickthrough and bad journalism, it doesn't change the meaning of the title when you say slam vs saying criticize, putting more exciting words in the titles you could maybe make an analogy to all the YouTubers who started making Mr Beast face in the thumbnail, the video or in this case the article is the same, they are just trying to get a higher click through rate and I really can't blame them, they are not making money hand over fist doing this

it is irresistible to the redditor mind to complain about the word slam in a title of an article

The Russians do not like Israel

This is not even remotely true, you should probably read up on Russian Israeli relations, while they do engage with groups like Hamas and ally themselves with states opposed to Israel like Iran, Russia and Israel have a very close relationship

or https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Israel%E2%80%93Russia_relations if you prefer

it is interesting it is TASS reporting this though, you would think they wouldn't bother writing about this unless it was in the Russian state's interest to do so

I think the article is referring to children that need medical treatment that can not be offered in Gaza do to lack of supplies, specialists and facilities, not children that need families, although most families there need new homes in general since they have been destroyed

woke: doom inspires acts of violence

broke: call of duty inspires acts of violence

bespoke: among us inspires acts of violence

How else will they be able to continue justify pulling coal out of the ground if they have a robust power grid based on renewables

It's relatively normal in countries that still have conscription, if you don't serve and don't get an exception, you go to jail, otherwise what is the point of conscription vs just making it voluntary. The more damaging thing for these teens will be the social and career repercussions they face for refusing to serve, they will be barred from many lucrative jobs that will automatically filter out people who refused to serve, etc.

I can't recall any stories of any objectors enduring anything particularly bad, maybe it would get worse if more people started doing it, barely anyone rejects their service, even during active moments of conflict

That, as I stated before, is not the title. It is the title YOU gave the post.

When you post an article into lemmy, it will grab a title that was specified in a field by the article, this was the title it grabbed, YOU can test this out for youself by creating a post with the same link, I DID NOT create the title, it was automatically fetched by lemmy, which means at some point in time this article had this title.

I don't disagree it is primarily the companies faults for accepting minerals mined from places where they shouldn't be. If the mining company couldn't sell their minerals they wouldn't bother mining it there in the first place.

I think the reason the title is called "EV obsession is placing an entire population at risk of genocide" is to one catch the eyes of the reader who might not know much about where the minerals to make electric batteries come from and two to highlight since their is so much more demand because of the proliferation of EVs these mineral companies are looking to mine in much greater quantities everywhere and anywhere which is why there is a push to mine in this territory to begin with.

Many of “us” are controlled by a deceptive media system and secretive government that is actively trying to divide us. But the little people buying the EV (the ones having the “obsession”) are the wrong ones to be pointing the finger at.

This article did not point the finger at "the little people" in any way, including either version of the title

It’s obscene that a nickel rush to fuel supposedly sustainable consumption is in fact on the verge of wiping out the uncontacted Indigenous Hongana Manyawa, who truly live sustainably.

Survival International is calling for the urgent, immediate recognition and demarcation of their territory, an end to mining on their land and the establishment of a ‘no-go zone’ – the only way to ensure the survival of the uncontacted Hongana Manyawa people.

It’s also vital that electric vehicle manufacturers publicly commit to ensuring that their supply chains are entirely free of materials stolen from the territories of uncontacted Indigenous peoples, or from companies operating on (or sourcing from) the territories of uncontacted peoples, including the Hongana Manyawa.

The most it did is call for international recognition of their territory and EV manufacturers "publicly commit to ensuring their supply chains are entirely free of materials stolen from the territories of uncontacted Indigenous peoples or from companies operating on (or sourcing from) the territories of uncontacted peoples"

They are saying that the demand for EVs is causing this, which it is, if the "little people" in great numbers did not want to buy EVs the companies would not be rapidly expanding mineral extraction into places where they haven't historically done so. They did not pin the blame solely or mostly on the "little people" given their stated demands of accountability from international bodies and companies. Just because you and most of the other people took issue with the phrase "EV Obsession" does not change this.

Also, your hostility and assumptions don’t make for a very productive conversation.

If you wanted to have a polite response you should not post Fify, that is a smarmy and rude way to talk, so practice what you preach

I am not blaming the consumer, I am specifically pointing out that it is not just on Eramet and the Indonesian government who are responsible and pointing out that places closer to home to you were involved in making the Indonesian government the way it is, not just an isolated company and an isolated country leading to this
