Encampments of illegal miners and loggers are being dismounted right this moment. You can find videos on brazilian media of them escaping by the hundreds on boat, as well as news of the government putting more state presence on the amazon.

These news are perfectly compatible of what is happening on the ground since Lula took office the very same month.

Maybe you yourself should read about the topic before parroting Lula was in jail without context.

Just the basic stuff you missed was, the trial was found to be partial, the evidence was not beyond unreasonable doubt. The Judge eventually got a ministry under Bolsonaro’s presidency and what’s interesting, even though it was not a fair trial, he accepted his judgement and faced the jail time, not fleeing to florida to avoid jail time.

So yea, some people in Brazil are sour, because fake news and bullshit corrupted their minds, it was a tight ass election with almost 50-50, so you’ll find people in all the places that are sour for losing the election. The truth? Brazil’s in a better place with Lula.

Thank you for saying this. Too often I see people parroting that line, ignoring that its a two sided problem. Supply and demand would have to decrease together. Consumers need alternative options, but companies wouldn't make money on unethical products if consumers force the issue. The alternative would often be regulating what is produced and sold and you won't ever pass legislation that, for example, outlaws farming and sale of beef. Tinfoil hat time: I think that industries simultaneously push the idea that consumers shouldn't be responsible at the same time as pushing the idea that companies shouldn't be responsible for change. That way, no one has to feel responsible and nothing ever changes.

Golden age of Jewish culture in Spain

>The golden age of Jewish culture in Spain, which coincided with the Middle Ages in Europe, was a period of Muslim rule during which, intermittently, Jews were generally accepted in society and Jewish religious, cultural, and economic life flourished. The nature and length of this "Golden Age" has been debated, as there were at least three periods during which non-Muslims were oppressed. A few scholars give the start of the Golden Age as 711–718, the Muslim conquest of Iberia. Others date it from 912, during the rule of Abd al-Rahman III.
