I really loved Portugal. Thought of trying to pursue a career there, even though the salary is considerably less than most of Western Europe in my field.

I don't know. In the end I really love Brazil so much. Not in a dumb jingoistic way. I just love to play our music and dance our dances and speak our Portuguese. Why is everyone so loving dumb?

Not only is a huge chunk of Brazilians living abroad extremely reactionary, even the namely "liberal" ones are generally bad.

I've mentioned it this several times in the Latin American thread in D&D, but there's this subset of Brazilians who in the US root for democrats, get emotional talking about Obama, post quotes of MLK who, when it comes to Brazilian politics, are extremely reactionary. It's the "Manhattan Connection" crowd. The epitome of that are journalists like Lucia Guimaraes, who will tweet about how horrendous the police brutality in the US is, while at the same time frequently defending Alckmin and the Sao Paulo police.

I was making a really dumb riff about magazines like Visão and news networks like SIC making here a big deal on how they're the stop gap for serious minded people and how CDS policies are treated by them save for when they go against PSD, when she and her party are suddenly weird and insane.

During Socrates time, I remember riffing with a PuertoRican friend that we were Europe's Florida. Hearing the government led by the likes of Crista honestly suggest that as a feature should tell you everything.

Also she invited Santana Lopes to join in (Portuguese JEB!).

i made a brazilian friend in some college classes on Latin American history, very briefly, because we got to talking when we got together and it turned out his dad was the former mayor of curitiba or something, and associated with a pseudo-fascist party I wanna say had a parrot in the logo. he went on at some length about how southern brazil isn't like the rest of the country, its safe and very white and you don't have to deal with poor people or gross favelas, and welfare, communism, and cultural liberalism were all bad but military rule wasn't so horrible because sometimes you just need a strong leader. he was an absolute garbage person

anyway, that is the only brazilian I've ever known

this was awhile ago now, back in undergrad in like 2012, and I don't remember much except how disgusted I was with his politics after we argued a little bit about stuff like whether deposing Arbenz / Allende / etc was justified. also once something about racism not being a problem because there aren't black people like there are here in the south
