Acacia Sgt Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 This reminds me how there's going to be a recruitment drive for the National Guard over here. I doubt I can qualify even if I wanted to... which I definitely don't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tryhard Posted January 4, 2019 Share Posted January 4, 2019 i do have an account but i posted like twice. i just lurk. i'm not even the biggest fan of the place considering it's just a little too brutal for me but it's a better information compile than anywhere else. dsp has an entire FORUM dedicated to him on there, not just thread. which is quite impressive.

Tryhard Posted January 4, 2019 Share Posted January 4, 2019 (edited) hitler was good for his economic policies, obviously actually, that's a pretty good example: american companies liked hitler and did deals with him because he served their interests Edited January 4, 2019 by Tryhard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nobody Posted January 4, 2019 Share Posted January 4, 2019 The economist is very critical of Bolsonaro, just read the article. They're only saying he might reform the pension system, which he might do AND the country absolutely, 100% need (it's legitimately the biggest issue for the country right now) and if we don't reform it we're absolutely and completely fucked. they even endorsed haddad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing would give The Economist more pleasure. " you may as well say if he makes the economy good that's good. wow. such insight. as you said, he doesn't think that economy policies are important, and if anything the article just advocates for Paulo Guedes.

Tryhard Posted January 4, 2019 Share Posted January 4, 2019 (edited) i don't deny that they were supporting haddad, dislike bolsonaro's social conservatism, nor do I think they are anything further left than centrist i'm not saying that I wouldn't agree with the economist most of the time, but some of their takes have been questionable, and any attempt to falsely find a silver lining in a pseudo-fascist for superficial reasons is a poor take.

Nobody Posted January 4, 2019 Share Posted January 4, 2019 (edited) I mean, wasn't that the mainstream view on the saudi prince before the whole murder mess? but whatever, obviously no publication is perfect. I just don't think a publication about economy should refrain from saying some economic measures they find good might be done even if the rest of the government is awful.

Nobody Posted January 4, 2019 Share Posted January 4, 2019 Like, i hate Bolsonaro, you know this. I think he's an awful human being, an awful politician and i'd vote on anyone else over him, but if his government proposes, say, a pension system reform i agree with, i'd want congress to approve it, because that's something that affects the country way after he's gone. I'm against voting/being against measures you agree with just because the government proposing them is awful, that hurts the country even way after the government is gone, and is bad for everyone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rei Rei Posted January 4, 2019 Share Posted January 4, 2019 The article isn't so much critical of Bolsonaro as much as it just puts Guedes on a pedestal. Also fucking LOL at the Moro paragraph. When one of the cabinet members (actually Onyx can be seen as a prime minister), who confessed about having slush funds (in other words fucking illegal), just had to say sorry to Moro, then things surely look good. And this is not even new or secret information either. This article is dated and it just came out. Â Only one of the articles you mentioned (Perversion of Liberalism) can be described as a hard-hitting critique to Bolsonaro, although they aren't without their love for the liberal Chicago Guedes, or the praise for Pinochet's economic policies - which is basically a myth that people keep on pushing to justify atrocities. Â All in all, bad articles are still bad articles. Of course they should talk about economy, but it doesn't stop them from saying incorrect shit.

Tens of thousands are dead. and in part funded by arms and direct aid from the united states and united kingdom. so we get to feel proud of that. i hate to be equating human life because khashoggi's murder was a tragedy but anyone with a conscience and a grasp of the situation should have hated saudi arabia and the tyrant and dictator bin Salman far before then. you can understand why I'm a bit disapproving of such deals with foreign scumbag dictators for personal profit.
