Scumbaggism: Onde Tem Mais Bandido Safado, no Brasil ou na China?

A The Economist só publica matéria paga elogiando o governo do PT, por isso não vale a pena ler seus artigos sobre o Brasil, mas vale a pena ler os comentários para morrer de rir. Reproduzo um comentário excelente de um leitor comparando duas merdas absolutas: Brasil e China: The idea that Brazil being a "democracy" is "good" is so completely naive! Brazil is a dictatorship, the dictatorship of scumbaggism. The fact that people are obligated to vote makes zero difference because the outcome is the same, regardless of who you vote for. So, let's see, if the outcome is the same regardless of who you vote for, do you really have control over your country's destiny or anything for that matter? Yup, didn't think so either. Look, when PT and PMDB, who ideologically should never even sit at the same table, are allies, it proves that ideology is secondary if not tertiary. That's a fact. You can deny and say that "oh but Party A is good, party B is bad" and pretend that politics is a Corinthians v Palmeiras but it isn't: the problem of Brazil is its crappy culture and a completely inability to dig through the emotional layers of crap that permeate their "thought" and craft a vision of what they want to be. You need a vision. China has vision. They are the worst scumbags in quite a long time, but they have a vision, and that serves them well. Their vision is based on revenge and hate, but they have something to construct. So I ask then: what's the vision for Brazil? What are the plans that will take you there? How are these plans doing? Shall we talk about the PAC? Now, if Democracy for Brazil's vastly uneducated, emotional and teenagerish population was any good, then why on God's Earth would Maranhao be rulled by the Sarney family and cohorts for more than 40 years? You'd think that if someone literally craps in your hat for 40 years and that if you MUST vote (voting is mandatory in Brazil) that you would have the least amount of initiative and vote them out right? Well, doesn't happen like this, because even if they DID vote them out, the alternative wouldn't be much better would it? Why? Because whomever came next would be cut out of the same cultural cloth. So, am I advocating for a military dictatorship: of course not. These days are gone. Brazil embraced a concept of circus democracy that it won't be able to ever relinquish, and that is a much bigger problem than interest rates, literacy, corruption, ... Look, I know how it feels. I am Brazilian, have lived in China for 8 years and am of the opinion that the Chinese not being a Democracy is the best thing that ever happened to them. Is this an unpopular opinion? Yes, but I lived in both Brazil and China and saw it for myself. Are they corrupt? Yes, they make Brazilian politicians look like chicken thieves. But they get stuff done. That they do. When they decide on something, they do it. No "PAC" bullcrap. They get stuff done. Which is what Brazil needs, but it won't ever be able to, unless it is willing to go real deep inside its own culture and change it. I find it funny how Brazilians behave here: nothing is ever their fault! IT's Chevron's fault, or The Economist and it's evil neoliberal agenda fault, or it's the fault of the foreigners! "But hey look Brazil isn't that bad, look at India." When will you ever stop behaving like children and OWN UP? Have you ever wondered that actually IT IS YOUR FAULT, for having sat on your butt forever and let the country go to the crapper like it has? Now let's all go back to our Facebook campaigns, share articles and feel like real keyboard jockeys, changing our country, the SIXTH economy in the world (like if that meant squat!). I am so glad I left Brazil!
