Idc If this is not b&w, I MUST reblog this. And It tear my heart apart to see what this fucking stupid little woman is doing to my beloved Brazil, and this should have way more notes than a lot of stupid and meaningless posts on tumblr.

“While newspapers and television talk about the lives of celebrities, the chief of the Kayapo tribe received the worst news of his life: Dilma, “The new president of Brazil, has given approval to build a huge hydroelectric plant (the third largest in the world). It is the death sentence for all the people near the river because the dam will flood 400,000 hectares of forest. More than 40,000 Indians will have to find another place to live. The natural habitat destruction, deforestation and the disappearance of many species is a fact.”
What moves me in my very bowels , making me ashamed of being part of Western culture, is the reaction of the chief of the Kayapo community when he learned of the decision—his gesture of dignity and helplessness before the advance of capitalist progress, modern predatory civilization that does not respect the differences …”
Why should they be like this? Why can’t they make decisions that will benefit a lot of people. Can’t they understand that they already got EVERYTHING but these men got NOTHING. They’re just ethnic tribes who lives a normal life out there and then here comes “the-powerful-and-dominion-over-anyone-else” to create something that will just benefit them. You see, there are lots of people who can’t afford living on the city but they need to move because of this. Why can’t they just..?! UGH~
