Kunster posted:Globo has also cancelled releasing popularity polls since they would give Lula and PT a way larger margin of success, so yeah they're kind of freaking out and the Haddad corruption accusations seem to be bullshit. Bolsonaro and Globo hate one another. Globo promotes liberal social values and neoliberal economic policies. Bolsonaro and his minions fault Globo for promoting "gender ideology". Hopefully this knife attack doesn't help him in the ballot. We are hosed, who am I kidding.

No. Right now Bolsonaro is essentially confirmed as the next president. If the electors of the other right wing candidate simply don't vote next time he already wins.

Yes, I usually watch The Last Week Tonight and find it ok, but this time I realized just how incredibly self-centered it is to entertain US liberals with jokes about really terrible stuff, in this case the threat of violence against my friends and family.

We were essentially feudal until 90 years ago maybe? We only abolished slavery in 1888? We were an honest to God "empire" under a Portuguese prince for most of the 19th century? We are still ruled by a conservative land based aristocracy? Who knows man

I really loved Portugal. Thought of trying to pursue a career there, even though the salary is considerably less than most of Western Europe in my field. I don't know. In the end I really love Brazil so much. Not in a dumb jingoistic way. I just love to play our music and dance our dances and speak our Portuguese. Why is everyone so loving dumb?

I agree with the sentiment that there will be no major political discontinuities for the amusement of gleeful rubbernecking gringos. There will be a lot of suffering, legitimization of death squads, marginalization of minorities, even greater influence of the worse breed of neopentecostais on politics. But no great spectacle, probably. Hopefully.

Militias formed by military policemen and firefighters control access to goods and services in periferic neighborhoods of Brazil's major cities, notacibly in Rio. They charge for gas (the one used for cooking), ilegal public transportation, illegal cable TV (called gatos), and extort money from businesses and private citizens alike in protection rackets.

My family is full of teachers and professors, as are most of my friends (LGBT, also). This is the dumbest education policy conceivable, Jesus Christ. My dream was to be a professor in my home city of Belo Horizonte. I am never going back now. How are universities in Portugal, Portuguese goons (portugoons?)? I loved Portugal and speaking portuguese instead of this weird rear end language, I would happily live in a small town with an ok university anywhere in Portugal actually. spivak has issued a correction as of 19:42 on Oct 30, 2018 |

Yes, I have an Italian grandmother and my aunt's family used this in order to become italian-brazilian citizens. I thought about trying it too but nowadays it is much harder. And I would rather become Portuguese after some years of residency, since both processes take years or more and I don't really want to be Italian. But I might have no choice in the matter. I will see what I can do. Thanks!

About armed insurgencies: it is a catastrophically bad idea. It is all mostly a matter of momentum. Right now 56% of Brazilians voted for the fascist. So you have the police, the plutocrats, the army, the evangelicals, the new political establishment and most of the population in favor of Bolsonaro. You should just find ways to protect yourselves, your loved ones and the disenfranchised.

I think most middle class LGBT people did not vote for Bolsonaro at all. There are some dumb fucks trying to show that they are not "like the other ones", but mostly what you see is terrified people afraid of being beaten on the streets by vindicated fanatics.

The thing is: there is nothing that Bolsonaro can possibly say that would make him look better, but his dumbass is way too blind to see this. This would be a nightmare even for a skilled politician, and we are talking about probably the dumbest world leader we have ever seen.

dead gay comedy forums posted:bolsonaro still thinks he can trump this out, but he is no trump This still amazes me. Trump is always painted as the retarded brain-worms president, but he managed to make the republican establishment into his bitch. Why is Bolsonaro so ineffectual? He had a supermajority on congress AND a majority on senate, and managed to squander it all following crazy people like Olavo de Carvalho. It really amazes me comparing the two dumb presidents, and maybe it's just my vira-lata complex, but our seems to be orders of magnitude dumber

That honestly kind of amazes me, even though it shouldn't. I think the completely unhinged fanaticals were going to turn on Moro, sooner or later, but I was naive thinking it would take a little longer. I do think Bolsonaros base has split considerably though. The light fascists reading Antagonista abandoned ship, mostly
