It sort of snowballed out from there. Actually I'm pretty ready to kill and die for Socialism and have expressly said so.

I am trying to reach Nekkhama, detachment with the material world and the first step to become a Boddhisatva. After getting rid of my lingering attachments with this horrid Earth I shall do my best to help my fellow man by beheading Temer.

Since you criticized the FARC for putting down their weapons, and boast about how willing you are to kill and die for your political ideas, how come you haven't done anything about it? There are plenty of armed socialist revolutionary groups all around the world; how come you're not, you know, killing and dying with them right now?

SexyBlindfold posted:Jesus Christ can this thread go back to just being a regular update on the Brazilian mess Yesterday tens of thousands of women marched in Argentina all over the country as part of the "not one less" protests against violence and sexism. It has even spawned smaller support demonstrations in other Latin American counties. Its a fantastic movement and seems to be generating momentum and actual societal change. It has been spurred by the increase in violent crimes against women (or perhaps the fact that these cases are being more specifically identified and reported now, and disseminated through wider media access). Sadly the situation is not going to improve drastically anytime soon due to the deeply conservative structure of societal norms in Latin America, but progress is progress. Maybe one day you won't even be breaking the law if you want to have an abortion  Here is an article en inglés viva peron

No full on day-long women's strike (yet) although that would be great. Unfortunately it would carry all the caveats that make striking so hard in Argentina (I'm sure its the same in Brasil), so sadly I don't think it would get support from the corrupt leadership of the big and powerful unions. These protests/demonstrations have been growing in size and in attention. Obviously all of the backlash is still there, but its great (in the horrible way that these are reactions to murders) that the movement seems to be here to stay. I really hope it spreads to other Latin American countries in force asap.

Brainiac Five posted:Anyways, Botswana should be as rich as the United States by now if your elaborate and highly empirical theory of economic development were true, where all you need is 1) blind faith in the Invisible Hand of God-Market, and 2) restricting police murders to ethnic and sexual minorities. People who bring up Bostwana usually don't mention the entire country is practically supported by diamond mining (and a lesser extent nickle mining). They didn't unlock some miracle of economics, it is just where diamonds come from. Also, their minimum wage is around 50 cents an hour.

Crowsbeak posted:How prevalent is femicide in Argentina? It's an issue in most of Latin America - well, in most of everywhere, but I think the "macho" culture we have down here leads to a lot of domestic violence cases. Brazil has special police stations for those cases, for example. Plus, it's still good to see those developments when talk of "proper women" is becoming a thing on a political level due to the evangelical bloc. Hell, the line Veja used to compliment our new first-lady was "beautiful, modest and a housewife".

a side story I want to share to deviate a little from this and was inspired by the guy that said they still use floppy disks in Bielorrussia: As far as 5 years ago, my sister worked in the judiciary system in the Mexico Government. She had just graduated, and was seen as the new girl in the office. She says that she often clashed with the older staff, specially the 40+ year old secretaries. One of the funnier stories she told me was that the office had to order a shipment of external floppy disks to connect into the office computers, this was because the older staff was not used to sending documents via email or at least using a USB drive, they didn't have the skill and they also didn't want to learn, as their union would argue that they needed a better pay to handle all this 21st century tech, which the government surely didn't want to get into. So if my sister wanted a document from someone, they would copy it in a 3.5" floppy disk and hand over to her. This was all happening in a government central office in Mexico City, not a god forgotten municipal office deep in the mountains. I don't doubt this is still happening in some offices here in 2016.

^^^That's terrible. I don't even know how you can have several computers running floppy drives in 2016.

My girlfriend had a project at the local federal university (Brazil) for digitalizing parts of the central library that was aborted because one of the coordinating teachers involved had her office computer with Windows 98 and she didn't want to update the thing to read the file format the digitalized books were in, so the whole thing fell through. It was 2015.
