Brasil Elections No sense Results

[Rafael Thundercat]

I like this video very much. I am in Brasil now and Brasilian Society and Politics is full of crazy contraticions. Now we are near the elections and some batshit corruptions going on 

So, if there is a place where politicians are clueless this place is Brasil.

The Election will show now if even after all the scandals of Bolsonaro Family,Vorcaro Master Bank, and many other shit, the people will still vote against their own interests. They call here in Brasil, "Poor Rigth Wingers", maybe similar to the MAGA people. Here are people who benefited from public services as "Bolsa Family" Health Benefits and much more. 

I dont know yet the amount of strategy Flávio  Bolsonaro and his alliances (Trump included) are doing to he be able to win the fisrt term. 

People here are saying that if he won the first, the chances for a Turn over in the second will be difficult. 

I know there a few brasilians here so I dont hope to much engagement in this thread. But I appreciate any sharing  since some of you may have acess to comentaries about this that are not coming to my algoritm.

I agree, but people are voting against Lula , not rooting for bolsonaro.

The left wing needs to wake up and reinvent itself.

The right wing is full of rising yougsters, we don't see this in left wing. Lula is almost by himself. 

Alot of self criticism is needed, maybe this way we can improve in the future.

Its sad but this is democracy , let's hope they don't break the country apart.

Yes or perhaps you're the one missing pieces of the puzzle. After all you don't even live in Brazil.

In my opinion, the rise of neo-fascism in Brazil is inevitable. That's the result of two decades of corporate media building this "anti-PT" and "anti-Lula" sentiment, blaming them for all problems. Bolsonaro (Jair) discovered a formula to surf this wave, like Trump in the US, the right person, with the right personality and the right discourse at the right time.  The right-wing learned that formula pretty quickly and took over. The Left we have is old-school and slow to learn in a fast-pace enviroment, no wonder we are getting demolished. 

The worst thing that happened, in my opinion, is social media and Whatsapp. Fake news and extreme discourse spread like wildfire in those apps, and also the Big Techs obviously favors neo-fascists. Slowly brainwashing millions of minds, day by day. Now we have an unstoppable force with Lula at the end of his life.
 

My predictions: Flavio Bolsonaro will win this election; he will have the majority in Congress, the Senate, and the Supreme Court, plus corporate media, billionaires, Big Tech, agrobusiness, the evangelical churches, etc. They will take everything they can for decades. We are in for, at least, 20 years of neo-fascism in power. Horrible times are coming.

So, what to do about it? I have been contemplating a lot about it, and this is what i came up with:

1. Develop a strong spiritual connection and meaning. Enlightenment, mystical experiences, God-Realization and all of that. Complete recontextualization of Reality 24/7.

2. Self-Mastery. Strong meditation skills, strong concentration, strong ability to be in the present without wavering.

3. Life Purpose. Find something to devote your life to, bonus points if this also makes you rich.

4. Master survival. Make a lot of money, buy some property, diversify your investiments as much as possible, buy some land, build some self-sustaining farm or something. Buy some guns (Flavio will make it easy), learn how to shoot, protect yourself and your family.

5. Earn dollars somehow. You must have a couple of international bank accounts with dollars and maybe euros in it. If the Real goes to shit, this will save you.

6. Think of a plan B to leave the country. Personally, this would be my last option, but i would prepare for it beforehand. Maybe you can have some European citizenship, maybe go live in Asia or something.

@Recursoinominado  good analysis. I see somehow like this too. We brasilians are up for a big ride next years if this asswhole wins.

Government in Brazil is pretty weak in general. If anything the worse that can come there is more of what’s been happening which is almost a like failed state. At least in Rio it was kinda unclear what the government even does there. The city is dangerous as hell and dirty and all the public institutions suck. They kinda upkeep the infrastructure though. No clue what the left was doing there even though the right is probably far worse. I know some social programs under the left lead to an increase in the quality of life among the very poor in Brazil which the country has many of.
