some friends are like "b-but-but why be an immigrant" and I am like, lol in places like that at least my labor is far more appreciated and by population statistics alone I am far more likely to be valued more than by my own native government which thinks that 600 reais in aidbucks is a national tragedy greater than we literally losing the pantanal to loving dumbass landowners who are getting financially hosed and think they are going to win against international capital not buying their poo poo, meanwhile lol Brazilian agricultural values getting more and more screwed in the Chicago exchange

gently caress this poo poo where to buy a goddamned decent pair of pants to walk around with dignity is way too expensive to fit under an average middle loving class budget to pay wholesale, so you got to put loving monthly installments again for a loving pair of pants, and then there are the loving rich assholes thinking you shouldn't "splurge", but how the gently caress you are going to get a decent job without loving looking presentable and carrying yourself with posture and dignity, and a good loving lot of these loudmouthed poo poo-spewing imbecile morons can't barely write and got their stuff from the simple loving stupid luck of being born in a family that had land and probably a good deal of slaves to profit and exploit from and do completely useless administrative jobs or god loving drat it are ~~influencers~~ or some infernal variant of the sort

can't recall exactly how it fully worked but Gov Valadares was (still is?) like the specialized "hub" to get people around here in the USA illegally

like, going up to and including foreign organized crime like paying Mexican cartels for documentation and getting lists of homeland security people to bribe for entry in target airports

I don't know if the data is still current, but once upon a time Valadares was 4th in passports issued in Brazil (behind Sao Paulo, Rio and BH). Also, at some point it was estimated that the equivalent of 1/4 of the population of Valadares is in the US. A lot of the original wave of emigrates came to the US legally. During WW2 there was a Boston company that opened a subsidiary in GV and when the war was over the closed shop and a bunch of employees had married and etc in GV. But currently it is nearly impossible to get a visa to get into the US from GV.

The ex-wife of my best friend is a journalist who had been assigned to cover one of these big tech conventions in the US, and once they saw that she was from GV they rejected her visa, even though she had the proper documentation about covering the convention, a kid and a then husband in Brazil who weren't going, etc. Of course, I have no idea if that was policy or just a jerk in the consulate, but still.

some of the worst people I've ever met in my life were brazilian immigrants in the US. one of my aunts married a gringo and they made lots of brazilian "friends" in the US. Once my aunt divorced him because of abuse and many other things, they threw her under the bus and spied on her for him, helped him threaten her, picked up her kids from the school once on his behalf without her permission etc. They just followed the money, had a ton of get rich schemes and exploited the poo poo out of new brazilian immigrants.

That is true. A huge chunk of Brazilian immigrants to the US are the "I am going to prove I am one of the good ones" type of immigrant. Either that, or the very common "liberal in the US, reactionary in Brazil."

Back in grad school whenever there was a "Brazil" function it was funny, because me and the other Brazilian grad students (mostly in history) were all pretty left wing, but the undergrads were all the kids of multimillionaires who could afford tuition in the US, ultra reactionary scum.

Yeah, he kind of legitimizes Bolsonaro from ideological affinity, but Trump thinks everyone in Latin America are subhuman creatures below his notice, as opposed to Democratic leadership who thinks everyone in Latin America are subhuman creatures that must be under an Yankee boot. Guaidó and Bolívia happened out of inertia, but Trumpian incompetence is legit preferable to DEM interventionism.

Some of my old professors were in the first Lula government and they all said in 2004 that they were rooting for Bush, because after getting his hand slapped in 2002 in Venezuela he had pretty much left Latin America alone, while a bunch of the Clinton people were still loving around. The original Our Brand Is Crisis doc was precisely about democratic consultants (Greenberg Carville Shrum) helping defeat Evo in the 2002 election.

e: And Eduardo Bolsonaro is finally making Steve Bannon's Reactionary Internationale real, he announced a "Foro de Madri" as a supposed counterpoint of the "Foro de São Paulo" with the help of spanish VOX politicians and other Far-Right nutcases.

You talking about the support for lava jato and the impeachment? Im aware of that. But I dont think they expected or wanted a Bolsonaro out of that, just another tucano

But Trump also supports regime changes in those countries, he just seems so far focused in other stuff first. The difference is that Trump and Bolsonaro are openly professing the same neofascist ideas and lies, and supporting each other on that, and sharing strategies to advance that ideology and so on.

To me, thats worst. Just as I would hate to have Aécio Neves as president, but Bolsonaro is worst

We dont vote for president of the United States anyway, but I personally want to see the orange pig loses and I think thats best for us
