Some of those that work forces

are…

… not the same that burn crosses this time!!!

Yeah I admire Greta, but anyone who’s been paying attention had to know this would eventually happen.

Punch enough knife-tips and you’ll get cut. Greta wouldn’t shut up and wouldn’t sell out, now she’s going to die a lot.

… It might have been kickboxing. I was half remembering him being some kind of sport-fighter.

Yeah before he was a Youth Pastor for the Church Of Misogyny (where jesus is replaced with EVEN MORE MISOGYNY) – He made his name as a competitive MMA fighter.

Yeah there is plenty to hate about Catholics too (hey, pedophilia) –

– But when it comes to like. Accepting reality and modernity? They are head, shoulders, and pectorals above the average Evangelical Church.

Why does he look like He’s wearing makeup to make himself whiter

Does it also contain the latest patches for my Autism?

Ah. I see that the Trump administration has managed to pull the same thing as the Bolsonaro administration did.

The country is Brazil.

If you are unfortunate enough to live in the favelas (aka: Very very poor in a big city), you’ll be under their thrall.

But the little secret is that… They end up being not that different from the government. They have their own ‘laws’, and if you follow them, you’ll be left alone. Their protection rackets become like taxes, except instead of going to jail for not paying, you’ll get tortured – And you might even benefit from them in a way.

A friend of mine tells a story about doing social work in a favela, and how after years of neglect from the government resulting in kids from the place not getting vaccinated, the local crimelord bought the vaccines with his own money and had his own paralell vaccination campaign for everyone that was properly paying their protection money. Hopefully you won’t catch a stray bullet when the illegal liege lord of your neighbourhood-fiefdom is at war with the police or another neighbourhood-fiefdom’s illegal lord for the umpteenth time that year.

If you are not in the favela…

… Well… If you buy weed from a dealer or borrow money from illegal lenders and don’t pay your bills, they’ll probably abduct you and break your legs.

If you do none of those things… You might get pickpocketed or mugged, but that is honestly the extent of interactions that I, a rich boy from the third world, have had with the criminal factions of my country. Muggings. Being threatened and told to hand over my phone (which I did, I’m not stupid). Having a gameboy swiped from my bag while at an anime con.

I don’t think “kidnapped and tortured by the government” is a thing we’ve done much of since the US stopped funding our far right dictatorship in the 80s (and the military immediately fucked off and ‘let democracy take its course’ when the funding dried up).

… Let us not speak of what our criminal factions get up to though.

I think they were trying to make a joke and failed

The Supreme Court is staffed by Evangelicals, which make up the majority of christians in the US of A

Evangelicals and Catholics consider each other heretics and have done so since the reformation.

Edit: The reformation started after the time period historians consider “the middle ages”. Oopsie.

My sibling in Satan I’m not even american, in fact I’m hoping your cancer of a fucking country fucking ends itself in the next decade.

But in the meantime saying the guy who is currently in the process of finishing the job of displacing and killing millions has “actually done a lot better in the now” is

… You’re either trolling or really REALLY fucking stupid.

Either way there is no point in talking to you.

People usually do the thing they’re saying they’re going to do, you know.

Especially when they have the power to do it.

“calls for ethnic cleansing”

consistently better

Amazing

You must be from a fascinating alternate reality where the sky is red and fire makes things cold and people wear hats on their feet

I assume from your comment that you’re not Brazilian?

Bolsonaro supporters knew “military backed coup” was the plan since day 0 and had been actively asking for it. “coup” might carry a bad stigma elsewhere, but for Brazilian right wingers and boomers in general?

The “good old days” for them have a name and that name is “the military dictatorship years. Particularly the 70s which were the most repressive years of the dictatorship”. When saying anything slightly to the left of Hitler would get you disappeared and tortured to death.

(thanks for funding that, America!)

Bolsonaro’s entire brand was built on nostalgia for the dictatorship, his big call to fame was that during Dilma’s impeachment trial he made a salute to a dictatorship era officer that was known for being particularly psychotic on his victims

There wasn’t a single Bolsonaro supporter who didn’t know this was the plan, or that didn’t enthusiastically desire a coup.

Also also when Bolsonaro left the country in a feeble attempt to escape the consequences of his actions (he was forced to return a few months later) his fandom took to camping outside military bases, hoping the military would go ahead with the coup, Bolsonaro or no Bolsonaro. :3c
