 Topic: Save Xingu peoples from Destruction!

 ... you guys are famous for promote abortion. What's the difference with infanticide?

Yes literacy is becoming more common in indigenous peoples, that is why they can make their voices heard
and reach out for international support. The exploitation and land robbery cannot be kept a
secret anymore. |
Land robbery has never been a secret. Exist since the first European arrived to the Americas.
In fact, the name "robber" is commonly used for outsiders by both Sioux, and Mapuches.
Now, with such pedigree of robbing how come you suggest we should accept European interference?

Maybe this is the things that the indigenous peoples are supposed to be assimilated to: |
Your anti-Brazilian biass is amazing.
Do you really believe you know it better because you are European? God!

If you don´t understand the difference between a child and an embryo than it maybe
hard to explain to you.

Once upon the time the Latin Americans declared themselves independant of Europe.
Still their land robbery against the indigenous
peoples continued and have over time even increased. The international solidarity organisations
doesn´t participate in any land robbery. Instead they are asked by the indigenous peoples
for help to fight land robbery and other forms of exploitation.

No. I don't understand the difference: they are both human beings.

I wonder why Brazil is so patient with these clowns, and doesn't deport more "go-dooers". If you guy try it in my country, you'll be kicked off.

Because Brasil maybe also want to be a part of the international community.
It´s strange how many Latin Americans complain a lot over Europe and international solidarity. But when there are some
political problem in some Latin American countries there are a lot of them fleing to Europe.
For example during Pinochet in Chile time tens of thousands of refugees went to Sweden. And we also have
refugees from Peru, Bolivia, Brasil, Colombia, Argentina, Equador, Paraguay and you name it. When these people
needed Europe (including Sweden) then Europe was not so bad after all. But if some people from Europe happens
to critizise crimes against the indigenous populations in Latin America then there is a big outcry of indignation.

I see that you don't understand it at all. And with those ideas you want to preach moral values. You make me recall the classical Spanish saying "don't preach the Gospels with the zipper open"

The complain is with Europe intervention in the Americas. After all, communism was an European invention, wasn't? Fascism was also an European invention! And were those germs and the dissease that caused in Latin America the cause of the refugees we sent to Europe.
Now, don't cry too much for refugees. We have received dozens of millions of European refugees in the Americas, too, and we don't complain.

That's true.

It is not the crimes against the indigenous what Latin Americans complain. We complain about those topics as well, and fight to fixed up.
What we complain is for patronizing. Also for stereotyping such as "all Latinos are corrupt". "All are mean and don't care". "All live in favelas".
Of course, when extremists like the ETA want to start indigenous revolts with our natives, we don't complain but jail them or deport.
The same for Europeans that came here to export drugs, or to bring extasis.

The thing is that Latin American countries are partly a product of Europes intervention in
the American continent. (unfortunately for the indigenous peoples). And many ideas from old
Europe still lives there, among other the colonial mentality that makes people over there think
they just can invade and exploit indigenous land.

Noones said all Latin Americans are corrupt evel or live in Favelas.
Some people are like that and some people live in Favelas too. It´s just a fact.

The protests against the Xingu dam is hardly a work of ETA. It´s just people who don´t want to have their homes and lives destroyed
and drowned by a huge dam.

We are free. It has costed us a lot of blood, humilliations and suffering to achieve that. We don't need the advice of our former masters.
And with respect to old Europe, indeed we find that today Europe is in decadence, that has lost its spirit and its values. Hardly an example to follow anymore.

Aren't any poors in Europe. I have seen certain reports on the way people live in the poor neighbours of Italy, France or Neetherlands that could scare anyone.

International solidarity is global. Not only Europeans react against injustices against indigenous peoples
in America and other parts of the world.

There are problems everywhere, that doesn´t free Brasil from any responsibility in their actions
against indigenous people.

There are many of us that protest against that too.

You don't see your inconsistencies, do you? You are like those countries that talk about freedom and invade others. Or talk and human rights and that still have death penalty in place. Or those others that talk about protection of the children in Africa and promote eutanasia.
Or those others that feed the poors children of Africa and promote abortion at home. Or those that talk about environment and kill whales. Or those that talk about humanism and trade with radioactive waste!
Nope Sir. If you wish to preach morals you should check it out your zipper IS close.

Hey folks, the theme of this history forum is "Empires" and within the general consensus of modern diplomacy and precepts of the United Nations, non-intervention in the internal affairs of duly constituted states is a sine qua non. Yes, there are fancy phrases such as the old Wilsonian "self-determination of peoples" but, in the real world the clash of social and economic interests raise many phantoms. Given this Media driven age, many an advocacy group appoints itself the guardians against their particular devils regardless of whether there are in place political mechanism addressing abuses. Often, these critics adopt patronizing attitudes and shape evil stereotypes or proclaim catastrophe for personal profit. In many ways, most modern advocacy groups generate "cash cows" on whose teats feed a myriad of professionals who shape lucrative professions on the backs of the helpless. Let us call them secular missionaries embarked upon international "conversion". Many, have other political objectives as well and the present discussion provides an excellent example of convergence between ecologists, global warming fanatics, and social scientists, who believe their notions are to come before the immediate problems faced by a larger society. In terms of European intellectuals this phenomenon is hardly new since that continent has a long history of knowing "what's best" for everyone else.
In the context of economic and social problems facing the Brazilian government (and here we are not confronting some out-of-the-way hell hole), one must keep in mind that we are addressing a nation with an estimated 200 million people. Metropolitan Sao Paulo has more people within its bounds than all of Sweden combined! Since the 1950s, Brazilians have clearly understood that the social and economic integrity of their nation depends entirely upon the proper development of all their resources. But, suddenly, they are now confronting groups that in many ways wish to turn two-thirds of their national territory into some form of wilderness preserve! Toward that end these gropus latch onto all type of exaggerations and reach fro historical stereotypes suitable for whatever campaign they mount for the moment. Sorry folks, but the protection of isolated Amerinds does pre-date the appearance of both Sting and Bono on the world stage and the maintenance of ecological balance concerned Brazilians long before people croaked about Rain Forests and Carbon sinks. One need only peruse the pages of the many reports by scientists at the Instituto Brasileiro de Geografia e Estadistica going back to the 1930s to grasp this fact. Nevertheless, many European and American "intellectuals" find it difficult to recognize their own paternalistic hubris when discussing Brazil. Further, out of ignorance they coflate entirely different situations and project horror stories of exploitation premised upon isolated Amerinds and others with long histories of contact and aculturation.
These new advocates of the infamous 19th century Amerindian "reservations" in North America--or modern day life upon these tracts within the United States--have no real understanding of what they are wishing for...

If you think that way, why don't let Indians continue killing theirs babies?
From your comment, it is very clear to me that you have not much worthly to teach.
After all, you stated your own supersticion in the above paragraph, that I remarked  .
Keep the zipper close. Or, as the Spanish sayings goes: flies don't enter in closed mouths. Or, by the mouth the fish dies.

Absolutely agree. You have been very clear and absolutely precise.
By the way, even such a small country as my own, Chile, has a capital city with as much people like the whole Sweeden.

As I stated better take care of the born children and give them what they need in life
than crying over embryos.
In Latin america there are too many abandoned children in the streets that noone cares about,
but embryos many people cry over.

There's an old Spanish maxim you should keep in mind Carch:
"Mas sabe el diablo por anciano que por diablo"
"The devil knows more because he's ancient than because he's the devil."
