Ok. So. Muskrat (aka Elon Musk) decided it was a normal and reasonable idea to pick a fight with one of the Brazilian Supreme Court’s Ministers. Allow me to explain it.
Context is essential here. Alexandre de Moraes* is the minister responsible for 2 ongoing extremely high profile cases against Brazilian democracy: the domestic terrorist attack in Brasilia in January 8th (yes, our own version of January 6th) and another one that investigates digital militias that are being accused of spread misinformation, hate speech and trying to diminish the legitimacy of our electoral process**.
During the course of those investigations (that have been going on for a few years) de Moraes has determined the suspension of social media accounts of some of the people being investigated. Among that, people who have claimed that ‘maybe nazism was fine, actually’ and a lot of other shit. And because of that, Muskarat is accusing the minister (and by extension, our Supreme Court) of censorship and attempting against Brazilian democracy. Because obviously he knows more about Brazilian Law than us mere Brazilians.
Well, can de Moraes do that? Yes. Yes he can. Free speech is a constitutional right (art. 5º, IV) (unless you hide behind anonymity), but you know what else is determined by our constitution? That ANY attack to our fundamental rights or freedom is to be punished by law (art. 5º XLI) AND racism is a non-bailable and imprescriptible crime (art. 5º XLII). So no, YOU CANNOT say racist shit or things that go against Brazilian democracy, because the right to free speech is not an absolute right, there are plenty of exceptions to it (in the same article where it’s established, even).
I guess it's kind of obvious, but let me make it clear: Elon Musk, famous for saying things that would be considered a CRIME according to Brazilian Law, is accusing our Supreme Court of “censoring” people that are being investigate exactly for using social media to commit crimes.
I could go on a wild tangent here about how our Constitution is, notably and historically, a product of our civil rights movement post 40 years of dictatorship, or how Brazilian Justice System is based on Civil Law while the American System is Common Law and there are fundamental differences on how they both work, or or I could go on a whole spiel about the social and political and ethical implications of some guy deciding he could wildly and publicly speculate about the works of a democratic country as if we didn’t have, you know, SOVEREIGNTY, but you know what? Fuck him. Brazil is not your goddamn back yard, Muskarat. We can take care of our own problems, fuck you very much.
* There is a lot of shit going on in our Supreme Court, and I’m not here to defend Alexandre de Moraes from criticism. Just, ya know, stating the obvious.
** Brazilians are very proud of the safety and speed of our electoral process

Non-academics: why is the government wasting so much money funding public universities
Academics [Brazil edition]: currently holding the second national strike in the decade to pressure our government to give universities money to buy toilet paper.
people who don't know anything about academics: man y'all are stuffy and boring what's up with that? actual academics: *too busy fist-fighting each other over the beryllium problem or the existence of a dentistry profession in ancient egypt to reply*
#and guess what#classes stopped#administratice activities are kept in the vare minimum#but the academic researches are still researching BECAUSE WE NEVER STOP#my life as an academic#brazilian stuff

Eliza sounds amazing I’ll look her up
Elza? Oh she is great <3 I really recommend the songs Mulher do Fim do Mundo ( The Woman of the World's End)
"my crying is nothing but carnaval
is samba's tears in the tip toes
the crowd goes ahead like a gale
throws me into a avenue that I don't which is...
Pirate and Superman singing the heat
A yellow fish kisses my hand...
An angel wings in the floor
in the rain of confetti i leave my pain...
In the avenue I left there
The Black skin and my voice
In the avenue I left there
my speak, my opinion
my house, my solitute
I threw it from the top of the third floor
I broke my face (note from the tumblr owner* also this can means: I got let down) and got rid of the rest of my life
in the avenue endures till the end
woman of the world's end
I am, I am going to sing
until the end
to sing
She was a BIG survivor of the most big fucking tragedies of life. And she is a huge star. HUGE star. Long Live Elza Soares. ( I recommend her last albuns...That she made when she was like 80s to 90s ((!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)))))))))))

In honor of Starbucks declaring bankruptcy in Brazil, the country that drinks more coffee than the rest of the world, here is my ranking of Brazilian coffee options:
cafézinho: 10/10
Our blessed little coffee or the small break coffee. Usually served as a courtesy after lunch in any restaurant. You can find this one literally anywhere in Brazil. Your office’s breakroom. Hospitals’ hallways. Literally any business that has a waiting room. The only place you won’t find it is in a dentist’s office for a matter of principle, I suppose.
Café da cantina da escola: 10/10
The coffee you find in school/colleges' cafeterias. Usually has more sugar than advised to serve to teenagers but that’s the point. Only costs R$ 1,00 to R$ 2,00 reais. Served in plastic cups so you can carry it around with you and hug it against your chest if you live in one of the four states that has a winter season. Kept me awake during many many boring classes.
Café no copo americano: 11/10
The one from the bakery/bar closest to your home/school/job. This cup, called ‘american’ for industry history reasons, is a staple of Brazilian culture. Does it taste good? Honestly I don’t know but habit is a powerful thing. You’re gonna drink this coffee until the day you die and think it is the best thing ever. Bonus points if comes with a pão na chapa.
Café do metrô de São Paulo: 10000/10
Literally any coffee served in the metro stations in São Paulo. This coffee keeps Paulistas - and consequently, the whole country - one step further from total collapse.
Café com requeijão: 10/10
(sorry that's the best image I could find but it's really good I promise)
It’s coffee. And then you cut small pieces of a special type of Brazilian cheese and add to it for a burst of flavor. Makes your intestines work like crazy. Popular in the northeast region of Brazil. Not for everyone.
Café da casa da vó: 100/10
Your grandma’s coffee. She thinks you’re too thin. You’re not escaping her home anytime soon. The coffee is only an excuse for her to feed you. Must be served in the classic brown cup.
Café com leite: 10/10
Half and half. Popular with kids. What do you mean kids aren’t supposed to drink coffee?
Café mineiro com pão de queijo: 1000000000+/10
Minas Gerais’ coffee served with cheese bread. If you come to Brazil and don’t experience this combo, what are you even doing with your life? What’s the purpose of your existence? You’re gonna think about this flavor until the day you die.
#congratulations to starbucks for declaring bankruptcy in the country that drinks six times more coffee than the rest of the world#maybe we don't like overpriced things#who knows#coffee#café#brazilian stuff#brazilian coffee

No but like more people should learn about Varginha's ET it's such a fucking funny story like. Sure it is by all means a small town conspiracy theory but like the brazilian army was SO brazilian about it and by that I mean they were so comedically incompetent you can't help but think yeah a couple of aliens definitely crashed in that small town in the middle of nowhere
#the highlight is the army guy saying they actually found a very very ugly homeless person and he was so ugly and stank so much#people thought he was an alien#and this is said with a completely serious face#and in the next setence he says they found that creature in a farm#like guys please im trying to believe in you can you be less brazilian about it it's not helping your case at all#brazilian stuff#ig idk how to tag this

The 1988 Constitution is called "the Constitution of the people" [in a non literal translation] for a reason. And the reason is that the people had just gotten riden of military dictatorship
#cackling in brazilian#but also#i need you guys to understand that brazilian politics is waaaaay more complicated than lula vs bolsonaro#and that the supreme court is its own wasps nest#brazilian politics#brazilian stuff

Not to be too emotional on the first day of the year, but fuck, watching the people's expectations for Lula's new government... The love and hope on their voices, I'm tearing up a little, you guys. We deserve it so much. We deserve the love and hope and care he's bringing with him after those nefarious years since Dilma's impeachment.

There's no faster way to get students to set shit on fire in Brazil than putting police force inside campus. There's so much bad blood between university students (one of the primary forces that protested Brazil's bloody military dictatorship) and our current police force (that still has the word 'militar' in the name because we couldn't get rid of 100% of the military influence after the end the regime) that I could go on forever explaining why it must not happen in here.
#My university has like#campus security that doesn't do shit#They don't stop muggings and stuff#They don't make us feel safer#They like to park their patrole car in front of the dinner the students go during breaks#to glare at whoever dares to smoke pot in the open#it's criminalized in here#but they can't do shit#No one really know what they can do to be honest#brazilian stuff
