I'm all for industrializing Brazil, I'm not defending the current economic model. I'm just describing the Brazilian economy the way it is. Also, it's not really possible to industrialize the country by destroying the Amazon. There is no button that turns the forest into a top tier semiconductor industry or anything like that, that's pure fantasy. And the people destroying the forest now is doing this to raise cattle to export meat, exactly the thing you are criticizing. The only thing that destroying the forest will accomplish is to make Brazil inhospitable, desertified, unable to support its huge population. That's not climate nonsense like you say in another comment. | ||

> Also, it's not really possible to industrialize the country by destroying the Amazon. Flávio Bolsonaro proposed the creation of railways in the Brazilian north and northeast. These efforts are always paralyzed by leftist environmental NGOs, and leftist parties like PSOL have taken these environmental battles all the way up to the supreme court. So, do you support Bolsonaro's proposal? Are you prepared to sacrifice the climate for national development? This is what this comes down to. | ||
