Brazil, Amazon, World: Toxic Masculinity - CounterPunch.org

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

52% : A universal (especially because no one should be excluded) basic income would clearly be one of the "better policies" because the battle isn't "just" to save the Amazon, save the planet, but also a battle for a material base of existence that is essential for attaining the broad-based cultural and symbolic hegemony that might really change things.
40% : So far, he has sabotaged environmental law enforcement, falsely accused NGOs of burning the rainforest, and undermined Indigenous rights to the point of crimes against humanity by egging on land grabbers to use violence against the rainforest peoples and, now, his latest attempt is to push through legislation granting ownership rights to property that was illegally invaded and cleared before 2014.
34% : In addition to trying to prevent the Amazon from becoming savanna, reinforcing human rights and especially LGBTQI+ rights in this hypermasculinized society, putting an end to fake news and especially murderous and apocalyptic evangelical propagandizing, instituting a universal basic income above the poverty line would help to empower the poorest citizens and introduce a new ethos where they are no longer targets for armed gunmen but true citizens with a guaranteed civic existence.
33% : These issues are coming together in some feminist studies where women are working in overlapping areas like mobilization of anti-genderism in climate denialism; how anti-feminist, racist, and anti-Indigenous movements combine and reinforce each other; white supremacist gender ideologies; climate denialism and conspiracy theories; sociopathic masculinities; fake news, digital hate; and gender and environment in evangelist dogma and environmental apocalypticism.
