castelo branco did the coup because the US government was worried Brazil's social reforms such as nationalizing some industries and introducing rent control would lead the country to become sympathetic towards communists. then brazil remained firmly aligned with the US under the military dictatorship

quote:

Although a loathsome mass murderer and rapist — he was noted for kidnapping young women whom he found attractive — he was competent and effective. Not just in brutal repression. During World War II, he oversaw the production of strategic raw materials; later Stalin placed Beria in charge of the nuclear weapons program. An academic horrified by Beria’s crimes, Yury Khariton, nevertheless admitted that “It was impossible not to admit his intellect, willpower, and purposefulness. He was a first class manager, able to bring every job to its conclusion.”

More significant, he was no doctrinaire communist, despite joining the Bolsheviks. During the ensuing civil war, Beria fought against the Red Army and was almost executed after his surrender. He expressed no political views as he rose through the security services. When freed from Stalin’s oversight, he veered toward the liberal, even radical.

Beria was the one who had to have a rag stuffed in his mouth before they shot him because he wouldn’t stop screaming and begging, right? Sounds like someone the cato boys would see themselves as.

The COVID death count is also underestimated, and like the Iraq body count, look at it again in 5 or 10 years. COVID will probably pass 1 million US dead in the next few months.

Also the completely uncontrolled spread in the US has got to have had knock on effects in our neighboring countries, even if travel is restricted.

Also also, we're responding to Taintrunner posts for some reason.

Wasn’t the discourse on emotional labor originally “it sucks and no one should have to do it”, not “gently caress you. Suffer with me”?

it was originally applied to service jobs where an essential part of the labor was pretending you were only happy and that you cared but the definition warped into complete nonsense and applied to having to have an emotion in relation to other people

nah it's an important part of some occupations and isn't inherently bad

quote:

Arlie Hochschild: Emotional labor, as I introduced the term in The Managed Heart, is the work, for which you’re paid, which centrally involves trying to feel the right feeling for the job. This involves evoking and suppressing feelings. Some jobs require a lot of it, some a little of it. From the flight attendant whose job it is to be nicer than natural to the bill collector whose job it is to be, if necessary, harsher than natural, there are a variety of jobs that call for this. Teachers, nursing-home attendants, and child-care workers are examples. The point is that while you may also be doing physical labor and mental labor, you are crucially being hired and monitored for your capacity to manage and produce a feeling.
