    Most people don’t follow every aspect of global conflicts. To say they were “cool with the stuff…” is a bit disingenuous. Learning about a specific situation that is ongoing and adapting your beliefs to the new information is exactly what people should do.

    But also, maybe he did know about it and only gave a shit recently, I really don’t know.

      I’m talking more about the horrific labor practices that have been in mainstream press multiple times over the years and the fact that the place is just a huge unsustainable environmental disaster. These are pretty old, cold takes even by western media standards, but like I said maybe he’s just too busy with his own shit and never knew about it.
