It's kinda hard, because it's definitely not meant as "lol they gay" but it is striking at deeply homophobic people that keep slobbering all over each other with what basically amounts to "lol you gay", not because you think that's an offense but because you know they think it's one. However, that's still kinda problematic on its own, right? But if it pisses off a fascist gently caress I can't condemn it.

The original is just a recreated picture of a fraternal kiss between the leaders of the USSR and East Germany, one of the more progressive communist countries with regards to homosexuality (and much more progressive than West Germany was) so in some ways the original feels like it delivers a homophobic anti-communist message. But also, who cares

this is a whopper of an article from The Federalist


quote:

The military governments that ruled Brazil in the ’60s and ’70s adopted interventionist “developmentalist” domestic policies and a neutralist foreign policy that moved it away from its American alliance. The United States was partly to blame for this, as it sought to distance itself from Brazil’s military-led governments. After democracy was restored in 1985, the country’s foreign policy continued drifting further to the left, and even more so when it was governed by viscerally anti-American former Marxists between 2003 and 2016.

...

What’s not very well known about Brazil is that, despite its colorful Latin ways, it shares a lot of common cultural traits and values with the United States, more so than any other country in Latin America. Brazilians look up to America, and the United States ranks as the number one destination of Brazilian overseas tourists. Since 2013, more than 2 million Brazilians visit the United States as tourists every year, despite a cumbersome and demanding visa application process.

Like America, Brazil is a profoundly Christian country. It has the largest number of Catholics of any country in the world (130 million, or 65 percent of the population), one of the largest numbers of evangelical, Pentecostal, and Baptist adherents (estimated at 44 million), and the third-largest representation of Mormons in the world. In fact, the American-founded and based LDS Church named a Brazilian apostle, the first from Latin America, to its Quorum of Twelve Apostles this year, the highest body of leadership in the church.

Besides being religious like Americans, Brazilians also have an entrepreneurial mentality, and they like both country music – they have their own style – and rodeo. Brazil currently has a higher percentage of entrepreneurs and small business owners than the United States does. According to a 2017 Pew study, Brazil is one of the most pro-American countries in the hemisphere, more sympathetic to us than both Canada and Mexico. This despite decades of widespread anti-American sentiment and indoctrination in academia, the media, and in government.

For well more than the past decade as a tech entrepreneur active in Brazil and as an activist in Latin American conservative and libertarian political circles, I have become convinced that Brazilians are not just ready, but would be thrilled to become America’s best friend in the region, especially if this increased their international stature and prestige.

Sooo, bolsokid's driver had 1,2 million in money moved through his account, even a 24,000 transfer to bolsowife.

Obviously the commission that published this report, and over a thousand more in the car wash thing over the years, is now apparently PT as well.

edit: ok, bolso himself implicated, his ex parliamentary staff laundered loving loads of money and more ghost staff (aka paid to not work) keep popping up, it's a bloody headhunt that will have literally no effect, except maybe the minions shutting up a bit
