Jair Bolsonaro | Loses 2022 Presidential election according to reports (p12)

[Blue Hefner]

Never forgave him for throwing Alan Rickman off the Nakatomi towers.

Nakatomi Towers was an answer to a quiz question last night. I couldn’t think of the name for the life of me

 

[Blue Hefner]

Another mad ****.

Is he mad or is he all in on the populist rhetoric like Trump(and Johnson to an extent) so to turn around now and agree with the ‘establishment’ now would be a political disaster

Like all cults, they end with the death of its devoted members.....

I think anyone who so wantonly and recklessly destroys his own country’s eco-structure, has to be mad.

He’s actually more dangerous than Trump due to the destruction of the rainforest which will affect every person on the planet if he isn’t stopped.

 

[smudgedj]

The Military Police outsourced control of neighbourhoods to cartels?

Although to be fair they are doing a better job than Bolsonaro so you can see their thinking.

Well you can swallow this fairytale of some righteous modern day Robin Hood running the Rio favela if it makes you happier.

Also you’ll be glad to know the State Government is in charge and not Bolsonaro.

I think the ‘argument’ goes, us Europeans are quite happy to have air conditioning but aren’t happy for Jose to chop a few trees down in order to farm so he can feed his family.

The whole world is fucked. There is no truth. It’s a flu, it will be gone by April, I knew it was a pandemic before anyone used the word pandemic - whilst it was Trump that said all that I imagine his Brazilian friend will have use similar terms

They clearly can’t all be true. But the support remains. Fox News hosts sit in their mansions because Fox HR won’t let them go to the studio but they are happy peddling the ‘open up’ country nonsense

How has it comes to this?

Maybe it’s our destiny, mate - and humanity is ultimately fucked.

I’m 3 quarters of the way through a book called ‘Sapiens’, and I think you are right. Sooner or later, probably sooner humanity would have destroyed itself

If a once in a hundred year global pandemic can’t bring the world together, I’d suggest nothing can

I fear we are too greedy and intelligent to ultimately survive as a species. Our lust for pleasure doesn’t help either.

We destroy, kill, consume then justify it to ourselves. Not a good combination

The final characteristic is the most destructive of all.

I am remarking on the fact that the Military Police handed control of some neighbourhoods to the cartels as if it was nothing. I guess in Brazil having criminal gangs run the neighbourhood is nothing.

Bolsonaro is an incompetent loud mouthed moron. Which I presume is why he was elected. Problem with electing incompetent loud mouthed morons is that when faced with an actual crisis it all goes to shit. Ah well, as with Trump, the voters get to live with the consequences.

Great book and I didn't think it painted a fatalistic outlook. Started reading Homo Deus, (his follow up) last night and it is fascinating that he talks a lot about epidemics across history. I think it was written in 2016, there or thereabouts and the parallels one can draw at this time are interesting.

How pathetic is Bolsonaro, the virus has turned out to be rather more than the "little flu" he claimed it to be so now he's removed all historic covid-19 data from official government websites in some sort of pretence that they never existed. From now on only the previous day's figures will be published, sounds very much like those figures will be as reliable as the Chinese government's non-Wuhan data.

It's almost like voting in far right populists who prefer propaganda to truth isn't a great idea when actual problems emerge. COVID seems a great way of measuring which world leaders are the most interested in truth and which are the most interested in spreading lies

Reports indicate ours has the most interest in sex, tennis and having a nap.

It's such an incredibly futile effort as well. 1000's of news organisations around the world (and every Brazilian one) will have that data already recorded, and will still publish it as part of graphs and charts etc.

He got the Rona.

Couldn’t happen to a bigger ****.

Why is it that the last people who should be anywhere near power are often the ones with all the power?

Those who should be in power are either weak or scared. Nice guys & Nice politicians have similar sort of luck
