Neymar spreads awareness of the Amazon rainforest crisis through Instagram.

If you're a fan of breathing oxygen then supporting an eco terrorist like Bolsonaro is pure lunacy. How come you are you defending him with such flimsy excuses? This isn't maths and you know perfectly well it's impossible to "prove" that he is responsible for a rise in forest fires, no matter whether that rise is yet existent or not. There are too many other co-factors to consider that one could point to in order ro deflect blame. It is however common sense to assume that an influential person's acts and rhethoric will steer everything into the general direction those acts and rhethoric point to

To me this sounds like you're saying you refuse to update your priors regardless of what reality and facts tell you.

If other countries in the region actually had an increase in number of fires higher than in Brazil (this isn't academic, it's the reality, for example, in Bolivia, this same year, by the same INPE numbers, the increase has been 112%. In Peru, it increased by 106%. In Guyana, 144%, etc) without having a Bolsonaro, perhaps you're actually wrong and Bolsonaro policies simply don't have the sort of impact you claim?

Otherwise you're just saying you're right by definition even if reality proves you wrong.

There are lots of people who claim less government intervention is good for the environment. You can't simply claim that they're wrong, regardless of what empirical evidence shows.

IOW, if you're right, you need to show empirical evidence you're actually right. Saying "I'm a partisan and hate right-wingers and every reasonable human must agree with him" doesn't really make you right. It's just partisan babbling, of the so hyperbolic it's cringy variety.

At least consider you won't change a single opinion by just making that sort of arguments. You can feel self-righteous about yourself, maybe that's just what you're seeking, but you won't change a single mind because you don't provide any sort of persuasive argument.
