American Intervention

 

William:WE SHOULD ENCOURAGE every nation to solve its own problems within its own borders.

  I’m done putting up with people who champion socialism and dictatorships in their home countries, only to invade other nations looking for democracy and capitalism.

  Furthermore, make "formal" requests and accept it if you're turned down—I am 100% against ILLEGAL immigration.

  The world is a big place; go where you’re actually welcome.

  Here in Brazil, we worship leftist ideology (generally speaking).

  Go learn Mandarin and try immigrating to China.

  Why even try the United States!?

  Riddle me this, or I'll devour you!

Miquéias: So, why are you in favor of Trump interfering in Brazil, Palestine, and Iran???

It’s that old saying... "Do as I say, not as I do"!!!

As usual, your arguments are biased and totally clueless!!!

William: The opening statement already explains it.

  "I’m done putting up with people who champion socialism and dictatorships in their home countries, only to invade other nations looking for democracy and capitalism."

  Trump is blocking and deporting illegal immigrants however he can—he’s even going overboard in some cases. Putting the U.S. Army on the border with orders to shoot to kill... that would be too savage.

  But look, dictators DISARM THE POPULATION and build up powerful, heavily armed repressive forces.   Expecting the people who fled to just go back and find the strength to overthrow the regime is impossible.

  So, how do you nip the problem in the bud?

  By attacking the dictators directly.

  There’s no point in killing thousands of soldiers—who are usually just kids—while the regime's elite continues to live the high life in total luxury.

To be feared

 

Gil: If you can’t be respected, be feared!

William: If possible, I’d rather look for a less savage environment. I appreciate civility. To be feared, I usually have to do bad things. I never forget Nietzsche:

"He who fights with monsters should look to it that he himself does not become a monster. And if you gaze long into an abyss, the abyss also gazes into you."

I prefer to be civilized and live among civilized people where respect comes naturally.

Shame of Success

 

Otávio: Our system is designed to keep people living on the edge of a pathology. Basically, I think the ruling elite wants us living on the brink—or even in the midst—of mental health issues like depression, burnout, anxiety, and so on. It’s all so people act like a "herd" that lacks the mental strength to rebel against the elite in power, thereby perpetuating their control. The advent of social media, the constant comparisons, the pressure on young people to have a perfect, "Instagrammable" life—maybe it’s all planned so that people exist only to sustain this elite, without the strength to push back.

William: "System" is such a broad word. Without overcomplicating it, we can say it’s a synonym for method or organization. Cuba has a system of government, my car has a heating system, I have a writing system, Flamengo has a tactical system... For those further to the left, "the system" is a synonym for "bourgeois capitalist society." Something to be fought tooth and nail... 😉 I’m center-right; the more middle class (bourgeois) a society is, the better, as far as I'm concerned.

I won’t drone on about it, but I’ll give you a quick example. A Lula supporter once came to me with this talk about elite domination. I asked him if this "elite" elected Lula three times. He said no, that Lula was the will of the people. In other words, the "elite that controls everyone and everything" only exists when it fits the guy’s ideology or doctrine.

Besides your parents and close relatives, do you really think your neighbors are that worried—or putting that much social pressure on you—to succeed at anything!?
