according to the brazilian government, opening 860,000 acres of rainforest to deforestation is a "compromise measure." i hate to side with Mrs. Tom Brady on anything but she's got a point

as more socialists have turned their backs on venezuela in recent years, one accusation that i hear from them is that it's always been less socialist and more peronist. i've done a little bit of reading and the comparison holds up on the surface, but i'd rather hear from someone who knows more

the ESPN article linked in Gizmodo is bigger and more comprehensive than the gawker family's usual "here's a link to the story, a rundown of its contents, and a couple paragraphs of us editorializing" format. other highlights:
the olympics are the worst and the IOC is worse than FIFA

and history is repeating itself, as the unfixed structural problems of the past few years are leading to a likely victory by a junta apologist. i read an article saying that lula's probable ejection won't help bolsonaro out, but i kinda doubt that

Metal Cat posted:The problem is not the justice system clamping on corrupt left-wing politicians (as long as it's reasonably proven), the problem is if it doesn't extend to absolutely everyone. you're right that this is going to lead to either Bolsonaro becoming president or a military coup taking place. i don't know the background of the brazilian judiciary, but i wouldn't be surprised if it's made up of people who are on this crusade because they actually want authoritarianism. that, or they prefer right-wing authoritarianism over somebody on the left

joepinetree posted:As a result, it is unsurprising that so many Brazilian immigrants fall into that pattern that I've discussed here: being super reactionary in Brazilian matters while also being fairly liberal in American politics because they are people who think that poor people in Brazil are unworthy of help but poor people in the US aren't (because they either need it themselves or because they want to fit in in NYC or Boston).
