wait, they are talking about just going full "dictatorship style" and excluding a party with 14% of the votes of the result?
Also, I'm pretty fine right now. I'm working on a research project at my university, for which I've received an scholarship grant (about 120USD per month for a year, which is about 0.5x the minimum wage)
Other stuff to say: Here in Brazil the Palestina conflict is being pretty controversial. The evangelicals are fully supporting Israel, "leftists" are split on the subject, and the government (as in traditional Brazilian foreign policy) is trying to keep itself neutral.
More stuff to say: The government here is discussing a possible humanitarian visa for armenians from Nagorno-Karabakh and palestinians, which would help them escape their conflicts to Brazil. I do not know if I should support this or not (especially the palestinan part) because this would just accelerate their displacement and would in the end help the israeli forces in their effort to ethnically cleanse palestine. Still, I do think that people who want to leave should be able to leave.
In their defence, they already do this with the far right neonazi party as well. And they were even more popular than we are now. Luckily they slowed down to around 14% too.
What's happening now, I think, is the result of the neolibs losing their majority to left wing parties. In Antwerp, for example, the left with our marxist party, the Greens and another socdem party can now form a majority without any right wing neolib party. I think they want to exclude us to keep leftists blocks from forming.
I don't know what to think about displacing oppressed native people from their land. It does seem like a solution that helps to oppressor instead of helping a liberation movement.
Wtf? As an American I'm used to "leftists" being quarter brained jackasses, but at least they seem consistently decent on Palestine. Why are Brazilian leftists split on it?
Because there are lots of real leftists in Brazil that usually get lumped in with the "leftists" of the revisionist parties.
It would probably be good if Palestinians were able to escape the violence and get actual food and water, but Isntreal probably wouldn’t allow it either way. What they need is for the aid from many countries to go through.
