Even more than anything for Trump, Le Pen, etc. The amount of Bolsonaro supporters that have T-shirts with guns, bullets, and all kinds of violent imagery are the most disturbing part. It's as if people aren't even deluded they aren't electing an authoritarian.
Nah fukk this bytch, all talk zero action
PT and Lula fukked big Brazil, most people aren't pro-Bozonaro ideals, but the vast majority is against PT and affiliates, that's the deal
Bolsonaro's son
Bannon is easily the most dangerous person in Trump-world after Trump himself...
How? In your opinion did they screw Brazil? Just corruption or policy too?
Clearly they didn't give any money to upgrade the National Museum of Brazil from fire, which torched 20 million artifacts.
Authoritarianism fosters a mob mentality among a population if the surrounding rhetoric and propaganda does a good enough job to rile them up and give them someone they can place under themselves and kick down on. Under the right conditions, many people willingly will join the stoning party and people will cheer and celebrate brutality as part of the mob and no one will ever stop to examine what they are doing as being horrific because it gives them an individual sense of power even if doesn't really do nothing to change their current condition. All they did is bring pain on someone else and used them to vent their anger against.
It's much more satisfying to express direct anger and violence towards a very easy to understand "bad guy" (minorities, criminals, political opponents) than it is to take on deeply entrenched monied elites that use the complexity of the entire political, media, and economic structures to give them their "elite" status in the first place.
This is why even though I think a lot of us just have an instictual reaction to "authoritarianism" being bad, there is a segment that not only embrace it but view it as good. Especially if you can frame it as a counter-culture to the status quo "liberal order". A lot of people are drawn to attitudes and movements that APPEAR to be subversive. It helps if there is a real problem that the authoritarian can point to to justify his actions like crime or drugs. People can then be convinced that authoritarianism is a necessity because in their mind if these things exist in a free society then a iron fisted government is needed to squash it.
Georgewlany Smith, a 61-year-old public servant in Rio de Janeiro, said that an erosion of democratic norms and civil liberties is a price he is willing to pay for a more secure and prosperous Brazil.
“You have to consider what were the best times for Brazil,” Mr. Smith said shortly after he voted for Mr. Bolsonaro in the upscale Barra de Tijuca district. “Unfortunately it was the dictatorship.”
It seems like Glenn doesn't like it when fascists takeover his adopted country
Let this country burn, let them mfs show their true face, i'm curious to see these half-white right wing come out of the closet and try to stunt fascism in the streets :mjrmx:
Cultural marxism is a fukking insidious term that really just a euphemism saying I'm racist and/or a bigot. It's basically stating that treating people equally regardless of race, religion, sexuality, and whatever other marginalized group is an attack on civilization and is to be eradicated. Just another version of "anti-racism is anti-white rhetoric". Social stratification is the natural order and some people are simply inferior and therefore, its justified that they are placed into an inferior status. A made up term where they cherrypick marxist thoughts and apply it to social movements.
Funny enough, the Nazis, had a similar term called Cultural Bolshevisim meaning close to the same thing. Its just a repackaged Nazi term.
It's a shame that it has been allowed to become a normal term without anyone really calling it out.
not just them breh, there are straight up blacks supporting him too. it seems like in brazil the only group thats more likely to oppose him is womenAre pardas and morenas really stunting for Bozonaro like this? If so the c00nery is worse than I thought
