Bolsonaro wins

I figured I'd start this thread in a similar manner to the Swedish one, about a topic of considerable importance this weekend which we all forgot about.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brazilian_general_election,_2018
General elections are scheduled to be held in Brazil on 7 October 2018 to elect the President, Vice President and the National Congress. Elections for state Governors and Vice Governors, state Legislative Assemblies and Federal District Legislative Chamber will be held at the same time.

So, who do you think is going to win? Will @AN/ALR56 come back to life and educate us? Polls looks quite good for Bolsonaro as God-Emperor of the southern half of the New World.

lol we fucked no matter who gets to be president
On principle I dislike this attitude since it's rather dangerous to take such a defeatist attitude towards participating in the democratic process, but I have to agree.
I shouldn't have to explain why Haddad is a corrupt bastard, but I also doubt Bolsonaro is completely innocent himself after 30 years in politics.
I'm just going to stop posting here, since it's a little weird to be having political discourse on a site meant for keeping track of and laughing at exceptional individuals.

In other news Haddad is getting smarter and changed his logo to remove Lula's name and change the red to the colors of the brazilian flag.

He is still visiting his master on prison though.
 
Well I mean if you can call Trump, Le Pen, and Farage fascists I'm not sure why he wants to give Putin of all people the benefit of the doubt.
 
How can you mix Bolsonaro with Trump, Orban, Le Pen, Farage and Putin? Radical leftists and their "big categories", such ignorance.

So you're implying that the current candidates are not exceptional individuals.
And yeah, I understand your concern about attitudes.
 
Most people who I talked to who support him essentially are just doing it for the sake of ensuring the country is secure, saying that even if he brings back the military dictatorship at least the country will be safe, which sort of runs with that idea of giving up personal freedom for safety, and the can of worms that idea opens up.
Honestly, I'm just scared that he pulls a Putin and becomes an unofficial dictator.

The support of Chavez in 1999, the praising of the dictatorship's atrocities, the cult of personality built around him, the radical proposal to dealing with crime (just kill them all), the desire to instill military values into the general populace, and the circumstances he finds himself in (almost every other candidate is very left-wing and their corruption is publicly known, the democratic system has shown itself to be quite unstable, crime and poverty are rampant, etc.) along with how he's stated he wants to fill the government with military personnel all feel like warning signs.

I don't want to fearmonger, but from the way I see it this could get ugly really fast. I hope it's just me being paranoid or stupid, but I can't help the sinking feeling in my gut that I'll be hearing about another dictatorship emerging in South America.
On the bright side, Bolsonaro is also intent on sucking Israel's dick, so the family I have in Brazil isn't going to get horribly murdered if he does turn out to be a dictator.
I guess it shouldn't really come as a surprise that when you offer people the choice between a leftist dictatorship that promises to become more like Venezuela and a right wing one that promises to end the crime wave, a lot of people will choose the right wing one. Media brainwashing is only so powerful in the face of actual issues and real world examples that are right next door.

I'm kinda upset they missed some, a lot of which would be a better fit for actual totalitarianism/militarism
Conte/Salvini
Duterte
Xi Jinping
Shinzo Abe
Kim Jong-un
Prayuth Chan-ocha
Bashar al-Assad
Mohammad Bin Salman Al Saud
Win Myint
...

Waters drank the TRUNMP=Putin koolaid real deep in 2017 and is probably embarrassed now that the prevailing thought on the UK left is that Putin is a nationalistic cock and a scapegoat, not a supervillian.

Putin has a lot goodwill among oldfag commie bastards due to him being Russian and KGB.
 
Haddads vs whatsapp.png

I started defending myself. We kept a propositional campaign until now, but it's time we need to defend ourselves on this final stretch because it is very problematic what is happening on WhatsApp.
Based Haddad wanting Zuckerberg to stick his dick again on the place he didn't rub it that well.

Sometimes I think Bolsonaro is the hero Brazil doesn't deserve, or that they can't be picky after keeping that fucker Lula in power for so long. Of all the BRIC nations, Brazil is arguably the worst in the short-term when you can't even go outside without being mugged or shot, and might as well be the poster child of why gun control doesn't work. Like the Philippines, Brazil is FUBAR to fix anything in a civil manner. If Bolsonaro governs like DU30, so be it. At least his policies are actually working.
 
The equivalent of the old "Trump Train" video, Brazilian Tropa De Elite edition.
His pics with the BOPE are the cherry on top, love this.
