Because owh look it's burning, time to make it worse.
Isn’t Europe and the entire interior of North America also farmland?
There is a fear in some people that Bolsonaro is not doing enough to stop the fires, going by his previous stance on the issue and the corporatism under his government, leading to illegal logging, farming and mining in the Amazon Forests
Since those alone forests contribute a large percentage of global oxygen, it is not in anyone's interest that they get deforested
We need to drop the boomer radical Climate Change Denialist position
The Nationalist Right Wing should reclaim Environmentalism
Left wingers: wtf now we HATE the environment now
not really, tbh
lefties don't usually base their opinions on if they are opposing right-leaning ones
Some of them do
who?
Border control?
Was a right wing position
To have it open
And then Trump changed it to controlled borders
And then a bunch of lefties changed their minds
i need citations for that lol
Over the course of the Trump campaign and presidency
Look it up: Koch brothers promoting open borders
And that's because:
Surprise surprise
Trump is largely your classical 80s Democrat
Now, if you're wondering *why* it used to be a right wing thing
That was because illegals were a convenient way to get cheap labor
And it was the Dems at the time calling it inhumane and saying citizens shouldnt lose jobs
It was an economic "Right Wing" position, not cultural/nationalist Right Wing position.
...just not nationalist
Cultural I dont think applies here

Cultural Right Wing as in Social Conservatives and Paleoconservatives
Pat Buchanan and co.
Again
Culturally it could go either way generally speaking
I read a few articles and the Koch brothers don't seem to be exactly "open borders", they even stated this: "The president has a duty to enforce the nation’s immigration laws." They did support borders, they were only against the deportation of illegal immigrants. Which, sure, isn't super right leaning, but is 100% not complete open borders. Although if I misread it, feel free to correct me.
You could go for the "govt dont tell me what to do" sort of culture
