So this happened in Portugal 😬

I found out only because I was searching for news about a piranha plant parade I saw on TV. In my search I saw that this shit happened and I’m fucking astounded! What the hell is happening?!

This is the parade I was trying to find info about if you’re curious:

I see the image and dont recognize any issue (?)

I can't find any connection between the news and the image. And yeah, sadly we have some nazis . But looks a minor. And our fascism is growing up because of André Ventura speech, sadly. But this seems an world/europe problem.

Nobody knows why Mário Machado isnt in jail, since he killed black people on the past.

There is no connection, they’re separate events. When I was looking up what the parade was about I typed in “Portugal piranha plant parade” and got nothing. When I searched “Portugal Mario Parade” the fascist one came up due to the main organizer being named Mario. I added the image for people who were curious about the parade I was initially looking for info about.

Oh OK. That piranha parade is probably because of carnaval. We have a city in here , where carnaval is the main event of the year. And that TV show is an entertainemnt show. Its normal see people with some customs from that shows

I didn’t realize Carnaval happened in the winter, I always thought it was a summer celebration! The more you know, I guess.

Carnaval is always celebrated in February or March. At least here and in Brazil it's like that. I don't know what it's like in other countries

Chalk that up to me being Canadian so whenever I see pictures of videos of carnival it looks like summer to me since February and March are snow filled up here.
