Answer: "No."
Most #CriticalMinerals are on #IndigenousLands. Will miners respect #TribalSovereignty?
by Taylar Dawn Stagner, March 26, 2025
"#Mining — whether for #FossilFuels or, increasingly, the critical minerals in high demand today — has a long history of perpetuating violence against #IndigenousPeople. Forcibly removing tribal communities to get to natural resources tied to their homelands has been the rule, not the exception, for centuries.
"Today, more than half of the mineral deposits needed for a global energy transition — including #lithium, #cobalt, #copper, and #nickel to make things like #batteries and #SolarPanels — are found near or beneath Indigenous lands.
"In 2007, the United Nations adopted a resolution called the Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples [#UNDRIP] that included the right to free, prior, and informed consent to the use of their lands, a concept known as #FPIC. This principle protects #IndigenousPeoples from being forcibly relocated, provides suitable avenues for redress of past injustices, and gives tribes and communities the right to consent to — and the right to refuse — #extractive industry projects like #mining.
"There’s a lot at stake: When followed, FPIC promises a process that gives Indigenous peoples a voice in how their homelands are used, as well as the right to say no to development altogether. And when it’s not, which is the vast majority of the time, #TribalCommunities are further #disenfranchised, facing #violence and #ForcedRelocation as their #sovereignty and rights are ignored.
"There are an estimated 5,000 tribal communities around the world, encompassing roughly 476 million people across 90 countries, according to the U.N. Different tribes have different opinions on mining, but rarely is their legal right to refuse extraction projects recognized, even under the 2007 declaration.
"Grist talked with five experts to better understand what free, prior, and informed consent should look like in this new era of mineral extraction. Their responses have been edited for length and clarity."

More bitching on the queer word having changed its meaning.
Queer filmmfestivals: Submit your queer content films. Make sure it is clearly recognisable (aka non binary people looking cis are not performative nor interesting enough, please fuck off). Pay submisssion fees even if your project has no budget. We don't pay screening fees and we use public and private funding and submission fees to pay ourselves and some production partners with market fees. Because community labor has to be paid (our labor, ofc, but we dont have enough to pay the artists, or if, very symbolic fees).
What happened to queer being something we do instead of an identity, and what happened to lets get rid of extractivism and of unequal distribution of ressources?
honey, that queer l or even feminist label is quite misplaced. And people accept it, including the queer community/ies.

This is one of the worst Winters in recent history. Make no mistake, Mother Nature will treat Humanity just as Humanity has treated her. And since Humanity won't put an end to its extractive economies, continuing to treat her with cruelty and indifference, Humanity should prepare itself for everything she has in store for it.

Man, reading some of my old posts..
I was hurt.
(Understandably so.)I know a lot more about nervous systems these days.
I wouldn't call someone necessarily a #narcissist.
I would call them #extractive.Narcissistic relationships are about asymmetric regulation.
About the extraction of regulation.
(Calmness. Soothing.)One nervous system latches onto another.
And stabilizes itself,
their model of reality,
and their self-image.All externally.
All through someone else.Anything that contradicts their version of reality?
Literally an existential threat.
(Fight, flight, freeze, fawn.)The supplying nervous system
- in a flight of empathy -
soothes the extracting nervous system.
Another asymmetric exchange.Rinse.
Repeat.
(Looping.)Until the supplying nervous system breaks the loop.
Or burns out and gets discarded.
(Fun. Not really.) -

CW: A #Fascist is also one who is part of using #Capitalism thinking it's "OK"...
Let me know what you think with emphasis on #Fascism using people as part of being a #Capitalist - directly and indirectly - not completely 100% but you are more often a big part that, and have a lot of ignorance or ignoring thing to fall within that definition of fascist and then the #extractive #business added on top ( #BigTech / #Tech / #STEM etc ) and perhaps complain about it after...
#IBM used in counting Jewish people in concentration camps and facial recognition being rolled out in Europe being very similar (if these are true) and part of all Tech in wrong hands BECAUSE it was made by people for #war mostly (#drones, #coffee, etc) ☕ ✈️ 📦

CW: Chess with love instead? Imagine... (Playing Life with Love more often...?)
Imagine a #game where you give #love and grow things along the way and get points for how you do things simply or carefully... not just #chess without knowing. And even helping others...
#Helping but not over-doing it... (could get penalty for that or reduce the relationship points for example!)
Having respect for things while playinginstead of damaging things and people's habitat as the basis of #life.
Can you imagine / want to make it happen just to talk about? (just as a start?). @freemo ?
Lots of people can reply to this to show they are interested even partially. I think we need to see and represent, more even if not doing all of it.
Why not the way things are now?
Not killing things is good and not doing damage as the primary focus as chess seems to be and also life as almost the same #extractive / #conquering parallel. We need love.In life there is also #damage, #loss and #consumption but we can do it much less of it today or together at some point, agree ? ❓
I know you do! Let me know!
Because you love every day and many people too! Just need a way to grow that even as a side "job".Not only doing what goes towards capturing the #king or #land for #petroleum fields, #bombing for #war #energy. Not killing #Kings #Queens across the world for almost empty victories only to start another empty chess match to try checkmate more #people.
Something with me, "love" and respect at the end involved! I'll give you lots of points for a kind of better game in life! #Palestine #Gaza #Kurds #Congo #Africa #Vietnam etc!
Giving #respect / Growing #love
as game. as small part of life?
(this is the basis of #FreeSchool overall)All of us in the end could be so much more "Legendary" in our own way for living out our stories with clearer quests and not just totally falling for #Capitalism and progressing damaging / extractive types of tricks.
Xx BOOST THIS IF YOU LIKE THE IDEA xX
(EVEN IN THEORY UNTIL WE MAKE IT A REALITY!) Xx
THANK YOU! Every boost counts!

Last week I went to a talk on Non #Extractive #Business and #Finance by Melanie Rieback, who proposes a solution to #private #equity ruining everything for everybody.
Entertaining and well-reasoned talk, delivered as a one-hour stream of consciousness without slides. The recording is video, but you could just as well listen to it like a #podcast.

If the company is spelled "Fiverr" (or Fiverrr, who knows how many superfluous Rs they want), I believe their business model is letting people pay tiny, tiny sums to exploited workers in other, cheaper parts of the world for one-off tasks, and sticking themselves in the middle of it to suck out the marrow.
You know, things like "Why hire a talented and experienced graphic designer when you can request a new company logo and offer $10 to someone in Cambodia who will actually receive $4?"
