Well Canada, and especially Quebec elites (who run the country) have the same disease as your elites in Brazil. It is only because we share a border with the US (for good and for bad), that we are not right there with you.

Lol, I recall very clearly you

Mentioning Brazil in a previous post recently. Yes it did fulfill some curiosity. Now we can envision the country hikes better. I follow glen grunwald and have heard him speak about the Brazil situation some. Censorship seems to be the latest power grab . Reminds me of how every group acting for freedom were called terrorists after 9/11. It seems to be pre something … war or some kind of major power grab of some kind . I think people are kind of ready for being viscous and violently ruled , considering how work tends to be more specialized. Generalists are survivors and can be dissidents . Not specialists so much , they tend to be dependent and will easily roll over because they simply have no alternative . The people have lost their leverage against the ruling class . Hopefully you find a path for yourself . I suspect things could get intense

It's so much harder to slaughter people when they are able to communicate with each other about what's going on;-)

If 1950 1-2 Final @ Maracanã had affect on this, then the 2014 1-7 Semi @ Mineirão must have helped set the stage for your current situation? viz Atomic... https://youtu.be/LuyS9M8T03A?

I didn’t realise you were Brazilian, in Brazil, I pray for you and yours and I appreciate you so for fighting. I try to support best I can by sharing and being vocal, your voice and Glen G and Michael S etc 😊🙏

Wow, am I confused. All this time I've been thinking Moriarty is a pen name for another Substack writer I follow, a USian. Somewhere my brain must have taken a wrong turn. Your writing style is, to me, identical.

Seriously... it's like the libertarians and some republicans critizing certain policies.. always using the term 'communist'. It isn't what you think it is. Lula was arrested under the orders of the US neocons... then Bolsanaro turned out to have his own set of balls, and they eventually did a deal with Lula to release him from prison and put him back into 'power', and now he's flipping and doing the neocons bidding again. All the censorship etc, is just copying the US template. So no.. it's not communist. It's just pure fascism.

Since Twitter no longer exists, why would it matter?

X isn't all about free speech as advertised. Anyone really paying attention can tell. Here is an example related to Covid.

I avoid the old Twit. But I see how folks use it for now to....try to represent themselves. I think they will see soon enough that it cannot.
