Liberals don't actually understand what grift means or why it's a bad thing, and just think 'they must somehow be making money off this, why else would they disagree with me?!?'

Liberals have to learn the hard way that rules only matter when they are enforced. This is probably why most of the left resurgence is coming from minority groups, who have to become intimately aware of this to survive.

I dunno if that would work in the English speaking world, since not only climate denialism but outright worship of fossil fuels and celebration of environmental destruction and animal cruelty is one of the few things that the neonazis, donor classes and mere boomers all generally have in common. Any environmental concern is seen as hippie leftist sjw jewish poo poo.

He actually oversaw the construction of that prison back when he was head of the National Intelligence Service, before being arrested and thrown in it, so hopefully he feels at home there.

Might have spy fiction brain going on but half a mind thinking that's exactly the idea, if he's still able to throw around massive bribes from inside prison he's probably not uncomfortable there.

The Cuban government deliberately prioritized three groups for emigration during the 1980 Mariel boatlift, seeking to rid the country of 'undesirable' elements and de-estabilize the Miami exile community at the same time:
1) hardened criminals
2) dissidents
3) feet pic guys

Brazil is probably the mirror world version of the US response atm because most State Governors have been enforcing mask mandates and vaccination since early on while the Federal Government has been very obstructive on that matter. The governors honestly have done a pretty good job considering their circumstances, securing as many doses as possible and keeping lockdowns and curfews.

Oddly reminds me of how things went in Australia, though it looks like the one Premier who's as myopic and incompetent as the PM is looking to gently caress all that up for everyone.
