I know they will probably never see this, but fuck yeah get those loggers!
I wonder if drones could be used to donate steel arrowheads.
I get what you mean, but the decision to cut those trees has not been made by the ones cutting them down. The higher-ups probably won't care much about injuries of their loggers, other than that it impacts their profits.
It is good those guys fight back, of course.
Get enough loggers injured and it's the loggers that will injure the people sending them in dangerous territory
“Their land is being invaded by illegal logging and drug-traffickers, so to save their lives they are spreading into other areas,” he said. “The Mashco Piro are facing genocide.”
The important part. This is literally self-defense.
Despite its controversial location, the company’s logging concession, held since 2002, is certified by the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC), an international NGO that certifies that timber extraction is sustainable and ethical.
Of course. It's the "Forest Slayer Clowns".
I’m woefully ignorant of this issue. Can you tell me more about the FSC and what’s going on in the Amazon? Or direct me to any good resources? It’s one of those subjects I feel like I should know more about.
The FSC is one of those greenwashing certification organizations.
Ugh of course
All ya gotta do is buy some carbon credits and that rainforest was asking for the ecocide, all nice and legal like...
That un-contacted tribe? Terrorists!
"Carbon credits" i just can't even 🙂↔️ what's the fucking logic? Give us lots of money and we'll make the pollution you created cease to exist?
More like uncivilized
I mean they have the right idea. It seems the only way people will take you seriously these days is to just be straight up ungovernable
They likely have little idea of what being governable means.
They’re an uncontacted tribe. All they know is some strange people showed up on their land and started wrecking the place.
If some people showed up at your house, wearing strange clothes and speaking a language you don’t understand, started tearing down your walls and throwing out your food, wouldn’t you resort to some kind of violence to defend yourself and your home?
This must be terrifying for them, especially because a lot of uncontacted tribes have oral histories about being forced out of their original lands by what we know to be mercenaries.
Just keep sending Mormons at them, two at a time. It might take a while, but we'll turn Utah blue eventually
You're assuming sending them two at a time is enough to outpace their reproduction.
I just meant they only seem to travel as binary pairs, you could serialize it into a constant stream
You'll get them fat with all that Mormon meat
“It is very tense in the zone. Everyone there is afraid"
Yeah I'd be afraid too of Peruvians trying to obliterate their own soil. Well done to the indigenous group for protecting their interests - they surely got there much earlier.
They may be uncontacted, but it sounds like their arrows are very good at contacting things.

Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
