I didn't think anybody could be more racist than middle class American whites, until I became posting buds with a white upper class Brazilian. Uh... they're passionate folks that's for sure. It's also interesting how the paranoid style of right wing politics in the US was embraced wholly by the reactionary right in Brazil. There's enough conspiracy theories about Dilma to make the birth certificate scandal look like child's play. My favorite being that she's a KGB agent. Yes, there's still a KGB apparently.

Plutonis posted:I'm gonna post later but theres a Financial Times article about white southern Brazilians being recruited for the Azov Batallion in Ukraine and I don't think the US even has that poo poo. I couldn't make sense of this until I remembered the Banderivets are causing Jews to flee Ukraine in the tens of thousands. I'm also guessing they think Russia is still communist?

Plutonis posted:I'm at Rio for the weekend for a student council and poo poo looks serious. The current governor has been indected and arrested for being involved in some nasty poo poo and there are several protests going on because the state public workers haven't been paid for months after the Olympics+World Cup+Oil Price Drop trifecta destroyed Rio's finances. Now everyone is afraid the cops will strike/mutiny like the ones at Espirito Santo did a week ago which ended in massive riots, looting and people getting butchered in the middle of the street. I'd buy that for a dollar!

Jose posted:why is brazil getting on austerity haven't they seen its been a disaster everywhere else? Brazil has a very reactionary political element that's been modeling itself after the "Paranoid Style" of American right wing politics. They don't care if austerity is a proven disaster because any movement to the left is a KGB conspiracy to bring communism to Brazil. Plus they'll make loads of money when the government privatizes public services. Plutonis posted:Also Temer said before he was gonna renounce if he ever had charges pressed against them but he predictably chickened out now lmao. hmm right wing heads of state refusing to let go of power after turning their countries into disaster zones it's almost like there's a pattern or something

Plutonis posted:Former president Lula got condemned to nine years in jail. Meanwhile most members of the Temer cabinet and congressmen allied to him that were involved with some serious graft and corruption charges had their accusations silently wiped under the rug these past few months. Also the Senate passed the new labor laws that are widely hated by everyone and will roll back rights a century.

Frijolero posted:I like to compare Chavez to Huey Long. Neither was a true socialist, neither was a truly good man (prone to grandiosity, corruption, and authoritarianism), but both of them actually cared about poor people and both of them INVESTED in poor people. All those bridges and roads in LA didn't build themselves. All those people in extreme poverty were/are eternally grateful that somebody stood up for them, at least for a while. The Maduro government stays afloat purely on the good will cultivated by Chavez, but it's questionable just how long that can last.

They're confident that they will win.

American reactionaries haven't quite gotten to the point where they can break kayfabe, and openly show vicious Latin American style contempt for the poor because they still need poor people to vote for them.
