Brazil has a long story of authoritarism and its legacy is part of the foundation of many of our institutions. We've had a generation grow under a representative republic, but that is in no way the "normal" for our nation's history.

Also Bozo is running away from debates with the excuse of medical leave, despite going on the telly and rallies. Unfortunately he knows he's his own worst enemy.

get that OUT of my face posted:i know that high finance and fascism go together like peanut butter and jelly, but the big rises and falls in brazilian markets as a reaction to electoral goings on is sickening. first came the markets going up over 2% when it was confirmed lula was going to jail. then it was a similar jump after polls showed bolsonaro with a comfortable lead. now they took a tumble because bolsonaro said that he had no interest in privatizing Petrobras. finance vultures really, really want to feast on brazil Well, wouldn't you want to buy energy companies built with public money for pennies? That's the whole reason why the market has gone friendly on Bolsonaro.

get that OUT of my face posted:the brazilian junta actively supported fascist movements in uruguay and bolivia (with uruguay, they threatened to invade if they elected a government they perceived as leftist), they helped out with the overthrow of allende in chile, and they were the ones that started Operation Condor. so bolsonaro probably isn't going to annex anybody but you'd better believe he'll try and make this a continental movement https://twitter.com/BrasilWire/status/1050391254188654592

nerdz posted:I'm having a good time (as good as it can be) by arguing with bolsonaro supporters as a Libertarian critical of his authoritarian positions That's a good one, since their knee jerk reaction is to call all the opposition communists, specially if you are critical of Bolsonaro's statist votes as a representative and his turn-around statement on the privatization of Petrobras. A few of them also BSoD if you tell them communism only killed "vagabundos" when they do the 100M line.

Kunster posted:Huh, Michael Temer finally got indicted for corruption. Looks like he finally outlived his usefulness. I look forward to John Green and every columnist that kept poking people on how corruption is really important and is why you should really care if your ideology is actually good to suddenly care about this again and to put another wacky clock on the telly counting down the minutes until Temer finally has to be arrested, and when it runs out to drag enough brazilian commentators to call them mentally handicapped for not making GBS threads out a sensible centre right government and how there should be compromise between murder and not murder. MDB, Temer's party, is consistently on the top of lists of politicians with "ficha suja" (criminal or corruption charges). PT is also there, between 6th and 10th place depending on the year you check out, but somehow the conversation puts them as responsible for all the corruption of the country. I am glad there's a chance Temer will be arrested in my lifetime, though I remain skeptical until there's a verdict stronger than "house arrest in a mansion".

Kurtofan posted:how do you buy someones vote For the people who do that as a political strategy in the countryside, you only get the payment if their side wins. But since those are upper middle class idiots who think they're smart - and thus very easy to fool - it would be easy to get away with it (also Bozonaro is winning anyway), but the housekeeper probably has her principles, and they are an important factor in her self-steem, being at the bottom of the economic pyramid, so she won't betray them.

"[...]The poor have been rebels, but they have never been anarchists; they have more interest than anyone else in there being some decent government. The poor man really has a stake in the country. The rich man hasn’t; he can go away to New Guinea in a yacht. The poor have sometimes objected to being governed badly; the rich have always objected to being governed at all. Aristocrats were always anarchists, as you can see from the barons’ wars.”

Will this cause his voters (or base) to distance themselves from him? LOL, no. Most of his base supports Marielle's killing, for being Lesbian, black and representing the poor. In fact, one of the criteria for the mass firings of the state department (is that how you'd call Casa Civil in English?) was if the person had published something in support of the investigation into Marielle's murder.
