Public colleges got budget cuts because of "unruly behavior" and a lot of them came out and said that they might have to stop their activities on September because of it.

Also unemployment is pretty high (13M+), fuel prices and dollar value are reaching record levels under the Real. Meanwhile pension reform is still the only subject being treated as a priority, as it will magically solve all problems in the country.

Also the cops and the army, already a bloodthirty crew, are killing even more people with reckless abandon.

And by reckless abandon I mean "shooting a family car 80 times, murdering two people, laughing about it, and facing no consequence".

Aaand as much as he wanted to go "oh no, we don't need arts and philosophy, we need more stem types", it just means they're getting way less candidates in general, including from those fields.

They were so drat happy over this a month back and it was such an obvious lie, it's almost cute.

If it's the SIC one (which they hilariously tried to make it a good thing), it's supplanted by them hoping chud kids report to the military any sort of dissident conversation. Brazilian pals I know, understandably, have been somewhat silent on this.

Are you talking about military schools or the military in government?

Military schools are worrying but they will never add a cent to education budget so stuff will probably not change much as in there being more of them, they'll just escape the cuts.

Meanwhile, the government keeps eating itself/farting

I realize that this is kind of a "well, no poo poo" post, but it blows my mind how relatively poor Brazil is once adjusting for inequality.

It's nearly like living in a third world country. If Brazil had the will and consent, it could very well have near or at first world living standards, yet the country seems content and constantly shooting itself in the foot.

Mostly I would say they are more fanatical than before. He lost a good chunk of his popularity already, but that among the ones who were not faithful bolsonaristas. His true fanbase seems strong as ever, now defending him fiercely agaisnt the "fakenews" and etc

Didn't the Centrão almost collapse last election though? Although I guess their remnant is still needed since PT and PSOL hold a big chunk of Congress.

The only metric I have are my Brazilian cousins but they were stealth bolso fans ("lesser evil" discourse in public, but intense social media posts about him) and even bolso being all over trump and America does not seem to faze them. They're still talking how he's the one true hope, and I know one of my cousins hates Trump and thinks he's a ridiculous clown, and the other also hates him and hates American government even more (9/11 truther, even).

I dont know, I think once you support these far-right groups and/or populists, there's very little they can say or do that would break that support. In fact they go in even harder defending them, even if it's completely against your values. I think it might be that, if one is willing to compromise on some pretty basic values already, then they either never cared too much anyway or were just putting on a public front.

Regardless of support towards bolsonaro, he has been way too passive while different right wing factions are eating each other and that polarization might mean losing half of his supporters in one fell swoop if he ends up favoring any of them over the others. That's if the ever increasing military members of government don't just kick him out and we get another dictatorship

He can barely negotiate things in his own side

Yep, with some differences, bolsonarism is essentially our tropical third world version of trumpism

Down to the support of things that barely make any sense in our national context, like anti immigration policies and unconditional support for Israel

Well, since there's talk of the military having its budget slashed by over 40% (could just be the usual false leaks so the government can walk it back in 2 days and say the media was spreading fake news), guess we'll see.

The armed forces have been gobbling positions in government at a prodigious pace. Pretty much every time a crazy new goober screws up, which is often, he gets replaced with some general or colonel. While that is great for the officers personally, the military institutions themselves are steadily corroded as they are increasingly weeded to a flailing government. Stayong outside of power and the media gave them an aura of honesty and competence for the last 25+ years, but it only takes a few catastrophes to toss all of that down the drain. Every drat week the Olavettes go another yard in making GBS threads on the military.

And if there's something the Army really doesn't take well, it's being mocked or seen as weak/ridiculous.

Depends on which part of the military we're talking about.

Even during the dictatorship, the armed forces had at least three powerful factions that schemed against each other more or less openly and took turns on top of the pile. The ESG americanophiles who were all gung-ho about hunting invisible commies and getting the US to love us, the old guard 'Prussians' who flet the army had to just clean out the corrupt state and go back to the barracks, and the legalists mostly just tried to keep their head down and not jump into political shitstorms.

I've attended courses with military officers and they were very smart, realistic types, but the thing is, as much as they dislike the other factions, they will -burn the country down- before ever turning their backs of the bizarre and freaks in their midst. It's a thing across all armed forces, but even more pathological in Brazil.

Hell, the 1964 coup had basically stalled in its early hours for lack of support, until one loon general in the middle of nowhere decided to declare his command in rebellion, and then the others, even those who hated his guts and thought him a buffoon, all joined in after him because if they didn't the crazy guy would have lost and turned into a joke, and they could not let that happen to their beloved institution.
