😅 Please develop a sense of humour. I'm simply pointing out that your desire to absolve yourself from the evils of the West is deeply hypocritical. Just as your framing of carbon emissions is deeply misguided.

You think China is somehow being forced by white supremacy to produce goods for Western consumption? You think they use deeply inhumane labour practices, that are functionally equivalent to slavery in some cases, because of white supremacy, and not because it's the strategic lynchpin behind their rise to financial superpower status? More importantly, do you pay the extra money for everything you need, in order to avoid supporting this? Do you forgo any products where that's not possible? If so, what exactly are you typing this on?

White supremacy is such a convenient bogeyman. And of course, I'm not denying that white supremacy is a real thing. But the problems you're describing? As I said, we're all complicit in those. Fixing them will take sacrifice from all of us. And don't get me wrong. I support that. But figuring out what to do takes more brains and guts than figuring out who to point fingers at. Which is as far as you seem capable of thinking. Especially as India and China are key obstacles to fighting climate change.

As for the coconut comment, imagine my surprise that somebody who's so concerned about white supremacy and the harm done to Africa by the West resorts to racist insults. I swear, the worst thing about "wokeness" is that it allows profoundly unhappy, weak, hypocritical people to convince themselves that they're the good guys. I argue with evil "white supremacists" all the time in my comments. Not once, not one single time, have they ever resorted to an even vaguely racist insult. It's always from hypocrites like you.
