Another native leader was killed

[Catarinense1998]

One of my biggest mistakes in recent times was voting and supporting Bolsonaro and the actual status quo. Probably, I'll carry this burden until the last days of my life. If you people think that conflicts between natives and "civilized people" ended, then you do need to review your concepts. The war perpetuated by the capitalism didn't finished. People and cultures which refuse to adapt themselves are killed and annihilated. Our miserable president, during the presidential run in 2018, used to joke on native peoples, offending them through pathetic jokes and rants. Now, he is easing what happened on last week.

Bolsonaro wants to develop the regions inhabited by the natives, claiming that they are coveted by others countries, and that if the Brazilian government does not intervene there, small countries ruled by foreign nations will emerge. Bolsonaro already said that he wants to decrease the size of indigenous reserves, to explore the regions around Amazonia Forest. He is a very know ally of farmers and companies with interests on Amazonia.

Ilegal invasors, logging companies, and gold miners feel themselves more confortable and tranquil now, since Bolsonaro's thoughts and rants were very pro exploration and violent toward native peoples and their reserves.

"Dozens of gold miners have invaded a remote indigenous reserve in the Brazilian Amazon where a local leader was stabbed to death and have taken over a village after the community fled in fear, local politicians and indigenous leaders said. The authorities said police were on their way to investigate.

Illegal gold mining is at epidemic proportions in the Amazon and the heavily polluting activities of garimpeiros – as miners are called – devastate forests and poison rivers with mercury. About 50 garimpeiros were reported to have invaded the 600,000-hectare Waiãpi indigenous reserve in the state of Amapá on Saturday.

The men were spotted days after the murder of Emyra Waiãpi, a community leader, whose body was found near the village of Mariry early on Wednesday.

Indigenous people evacuated Mariry and fled to the bigger village of Aramirã – where shots were fired on Saturday. Indigenous leaders and local politicians have called for urgent police help, fearing a bloodbath."

That's really bad news. If that's Bolsonaro's vision for a new Brazil, then we as the world community need him like a hole in the head. Rainforests in general serve as the world's cheapest and easiest way to deter and prevent global warming, and that includes the Amazon Rainforests of Brazil.

Yes, bad news. By degrading the amazonian forest, he is harming the rain periods on others brazilian regions too. A lot of his supporters and worshippers love to deny the global warming. Some people don't understand that native people don't care about the capitalist way of life; and, what we see as treasures and progress - valuable stones, minerals -, they see as just stones without any economic value. We're in a downfall.

I don't know if you're aware of it, but, recently Bolsonaro expelled a lot of cubans doctors from Brazil due to ideological reasons (yes only for it). Bolsonaro and a lot of his supporters think that cubans doctors were cuban government's spies, working for the leftist brazilian staff. I was one of the dumb ones that applauded this move. The issue is, Brazil lacks of medical help and assistence on poor areas - including areas inhabitated by native populations. What is the result? A lot of native chindren already died due to deseases as measles and pneumonia for the lack of doctors - and the numbers keep growing fast.

Aren't you one of these people who believe Europeans should triumph over non-Whites? This can only be maintained by killing the leadership of these indigenous people and forcing them into a new way of life, a new world order. The forest also has to be cut down to make White people richer. Isn't that what you believe?
