As a chemist, this is so beautiful and exciting. Also, good scientific journalism there

I know lots of people who aren't okay and yet are not fucking nazis

Disgusting

If you denounced this to brazilian police they would have a laugh and probably say something on the lines of "stupid gringos"

Beautiful boi

There is no "it" equivalent in Spanish nor in Portuguese.

I'm at the triple point

86 is not that noticeable, as others have pointed out. Also, there's a high chance this post was GPT-produced

No. Moving elsewhere is a high emotional and financial cost that I will avoid until it is not possible to avoid anymore (also, where in the world is safe of fascism rn?)

I could give a ton of counter examples based only in Brazil

A concerning example regarding what I'm saying is the fact that over Rio de Janeiro there are drug cartels which distribute cocaine packed in Israel's flag. I wish I was kidding.

Is it because they're Jewish? They support Palestine's genocide? No, they're Christian Neopentecostal Evangelicals who apply their (unofficial but VERY real) rules based on the Bible and make money over cocaine cartels. Israel's flag is a way of showing they are God's chosen and the true governors of Rio de Janeiro.

This is only a superficial example.

See, when we analyze Latin America countries, one cannot think exclusively in terms of US or Europe political science. Our states may seem like weak forces when scrutinized from afar, however this is exactly the problem. Fascism has different ways of spreading through institutions and evangelical militias or drug cartels are literally everywhere. Sometimes, our states do not enforce fascism by law. They are weak on surface and extremely dangerous in their militias and affiliations with drug cartels. The contradiction is the rule around here. Mexico is not the heaven you make it sound. Do not trust a country's safety based on official governments, it is a starter error when analyzing Latin America politics
