my favorite graffiti i’ve seen i think was “the wrong amazon is burning”
Peak global capitalism.
aint about cars.
brazilian big farm has made a mission out of destroying the amazon in every conceivable way for gringos to profit.
this gotta be the very least egregious shit happening over there.
Sure, it’s primarily about carnism. Were talking about destroying the planet to torture/murder animals and to grow feed to torture/murder animals.
But it’s also about cars. They’re not building trains. It’s all disposable car cult.
oh, its even worse than that.
carnism is a smaller part of it; its mostly about exporting soy (and meat to a lesser extent) tax-free. they do a lot of logging too. a lot of the food we actually eat in the country comes from smaller and less unethical farms though, and brazilians cant afford to eat meat that cheaply anymore.
here is the thing though, we have so much land in brazil its usually cheaper for them to just burn more land off, and clear it for more fields instead of properly utilizing the 90-something% of land they already own.
how can this be? good, old fashioned capitalism. they own the fucking government, so they zeroed out export tax (just for themselves) and hollowed out environmental laws. this allows them to earn in dollars tax-free and to easily and cheaply move to new land when they are done playing with old land. to hell with affordability of food for actual brazilians and climate change, line must go up.
oh did i mention they still murder the indigenous people and communists who try to fight back? did i mention the rampant extrativism sponsored by the us and europe? yeah, fuck capitalism, fuck imperialism. they deserve a slow painful death in the hands of who they murder and starve.
