US political crash corse:

Personally, the idea of imported voting machines gives me pause regardless of who 'might' win.  What do Leftists want in your country.  The only thing I know for sure in the US is that leftists, want equal pay, healthcare for all, and apparently higher taxes.  They support more regulation as a form of protection which includes things like Enviormental protections, Dood/Frank, and WallStreet reform to avoid some of the stuff from 2007-2008, marriage equality and science and technology investing .   Leftist seem to support a softer line on immigration, and are generally associatd with Elitist, OR non-white OR educated individuals and are anti guns and pro abortion .  

Our right supports lower taxes for individuals and coorporations, reduced spending (in principal), more military, reduced social welfare programs,  healthcare for people who can afford it, and closing borders to immigrants.  They tend to be more religious, are against marriage equality, against science in classrooms, against climate change (they don't think it is real), against the national eduational department, are generally associated with Wealthy, OR extremely poor OR uneducated individuals, and pro guns and anti abortion.

So looking at both of ours, its like you can look at eithe group and say:  Oh I like this but not that and do the same for the other group.  But here, our sides have been set up so that the net result is always negative no matter who you go with.  Out system is not meant to function.  So believe that a working government would be too powerful. 

 

Back to the Switch though lol

LOL, kinda hard to go back to the Nintendo Switch now =D

It is a different left, here in Brazil we do not have guns, like, none. Only criminals have guns, narcos and such.

They are very different from Obama, they did a Cultural Revolution, so, there is no opposition in the TV, papers or arts. Only in the internet.

Now I forsee fraud in the elections, I have no idea what will happen...

Some people are talking about asking the military to take the power, some are talking about a bloody revolution even without guns.

Lets hope that doesn't happen.  I need to do some proper research because from the outside looking in, its hard to imagine a society without visable opposition although I know it happens all the time.  Can you decribe what the Cultural Revolution was and where it came from?

Actually, most people simply doesn't care at all about the imported voting machines. Right now, we have a situation where SmartMatic make a statement that they manipulated elections in Venezuela and even this don't convince people that these machines are no good.

It's kind of hard to explain "right" and "left" in Brazil, because we don't have a relevant right wing party (one was created in 2015 called 'Novo', or 'New' in english, but it's not yet known by everybody). The reason is: for years, we have a dictatorship system which was considered "right", so right is considered an evil thing and it's related to dictators and censorship.

So we have the Labours Party (PT) which was in charge of the country for 13 years (2003 - 2016, considering Lula and his sucessor, Dilma). It is the major left wing party. They support syndicalism, they are anti-guns, pro-abbort, they want to "transfer money from riches to poors" through  social programs (like 'Bolsa Família', which gave money to people with extremely low salaries) and support gay rights. But, since they got in power (2003), they are involved in corruption. Even if their ideology was to support poor people, who really earned money during this time were big businessmen friends of them, who now are confessing the advantages they get during this time and how much they pay in corruption. Even mayors here in Brazil don't steal "thousand of reais", they steal "MILLIONS of reais". All the main leaders from PT are arrested or have legal process towards them (including Lula, the ex-president). 

The other two big parties are PMDB and PSDB. PT and PSDB are historical rivals, but it's only a competition for power, because PT is left wing and PSDB is c
entre-left. PMDB is center and always support whoever wins the election (ever since we change from dictatorship to democracy, we only have PT and PSDB in charge) and is even more corrupt than PT. Our present president, Michel Temer, is from PMDB. He was vice-president of Dilma, from PT, who suffered an impeachment. Also, PT and all the left wing call PMDB and PSDB "right wing", even when they don't support right wing agenda.

The few right wing politics are usually religious one. No one here questions science, though, and all schools teach evolution (and just some of then teaches creationism, although most of the population declare themselves christians). Immigration is not a big question here too, but probably will be a problem in the future because we have lots of immigrants coming from poor countries right now. Marriage equality is ok here. The LGBT discussion here lies towards kids: extreme left politics want sex and genre discussed in schools with low-age kids, right wing does not. To own a legal gun here is REALLY hard because of the "Estatuto do Desarmamento" ('desarming statute' in free translation) created by Lula in 2003, but that doesn't solved our violence problem. Actually, it's getting even worse year by year.

We have a population totally divided. Some of us want less taxes and free guns. Some doesn't care to pay taxes, but want better public services (we have an awful public/free basic education system and awful public/free health system, but excellent public/free university). Others, just want the riches to pay more taxes and want everything "free" for students and low-earnings families. Right wing people are usually middle class and people with little education. Left wing are usually sons of rich people who went to public universities (who have a clear socialism agenda). Most of our artist supports left wing. The few ones who don't are demoralized by the media (like the band Ultraje A Rigor, the musician Lobão and comedian Danilo Gentilli).

Left wing and people screwed by the economic crisis we live since 2014 want Lula back in power (if he doesn't go to jail before it), even when the crisis emerged from his sucessor Dilma Roussef. Right wing people are betting in Jair Bolsonaro, but he is too controversial and being an ex-military man doesn't help him. In election, the most likely scenario is that some self-proclaimed center and more moderated candidate (which probably are in reality a left wing one like Marina Silva or João Doria) wins the election in 2018. Brazilians are really afraid of big changes. We tend to be 'shiny happy people' who comfort ourselves even with bad situations.

Well, I think I streched myself a little. Let's go back to games.

LOL thank you though!

The Red Cultural Revolution in Brazil was planned by the PT (Workers Party), the PC do B (Communist Party) and the Foro de São Paulo (a red open organization that includes the heads of the Cuban, Venezuelan, Bolivian countries and the FARCs).

It consisted in infiltrating socialist journalists and artists in all the media outlets, in the first phase. The last step in this is assuring no right wing journalists have a voice.

The second phase took all the right wing and religious teachers out of the universities and replaced with loyal to the inner party counterparts.

The third phase was financing artists, musicians and intellectuals with a law called Rouanet, creating a spider web of entertainment devoted to the goals of the inner party.

The fourth and final phase is to destroy all voices of dissent, the few left, that is the phase we are in now.



My grammar errors are justified by the fact that I am a brazilian living in Brazil. I am also very stupid.

If you have a twitter, I want to follow you. If you live around Serra Negra, let´s get together for a cup of coffee and discuss how screwed we are. =D

That's a good definition of what happened here in the last decades.

Actually, I have a twitter, but I tend to only RT stuff (@g_reupert). Serra Negra is near Amparo, right? Used to have a friend from there. But actually I'm from São Leopoldo (near Porto Alegre). Maybe the next time I go to São Paulo!



As much as it's understandable that Switch is winning the pool, since it's the only console really "new" (new as in not just an update), I think it's wonderful to see how Nintendo turned things around from the Wii U era. Switch really is hot.

I really have to agree.  I'm just supprised more peopele  wanted to get one that didn't even have it yet.  Thats almost eveyrone.    I'm certain the Switch will beat both in November.  Secondly, I really kinda think PS4 will come in second, becuase there is simply more people around to upgrade.
