You wondered what I thought? Are you too lazy and stupid to make the effort
to back up your racist shit with some scholarly right-wing historian like
Simon Schama? Evidently so. You are just full of hot-air. You are not even
motivated enough to come up with some facts. You just want me to answer
your questions as if I was in the witness box and you were a district
attorney. Go answer your own fucking questions, you libertarian creep.

No, everybody understands the purpose of the article perfectly, including
you. It is to rationalize the extermination of indigenous peoples so that
predatory multinationals can go ahead with the business of turning the
Amazon into toothpicks, while they kill all the innocent people who live
there and who get in the way of "progress."
