I heard that about 1000 people fainted in that concert because they didn't allow people to bring water bottles so they would buy overpriced water bottles in the venue (which is against the Consumer Defence Code in Brazil).

edit: and people did not buy the water bottles because nobody wants to pay, like, more than R$10,00 in a water bottle that costs a few cents if you just bring tap water from home (incredibly, in most of the state of São Paulo, where the show happened, tap water is completely safe as long as it is coming directly from the grid, and not from your home reservoir)

edit: also, in Santos (a coastal city near São Paulo), some street thermometers measured 50°C on saturday, as shown in the local news channel "A Tribuna" (The Tribune). The increase in temperature is probably due to the boiling hot asphalt of the streets.

what is EAS?

I agree with you, but downvoted because I don't want to be scrolling in public and end up being seen with a bloodied israeli flag in my feed, and then have to spend a few minutes of my life explaining the context behind the post.

Because there are lots of real leftists in Brazil that usually get lumped in with the "leftists" of the revisionist parties.

wait, they are talking about just going full "dictatorship style" and excluding a party with 14% of the votes of the result?

Also, I'm pretty fine right now. I'm working on a research project at my university, for which I've received an scholarship grant (about 120USD per month for a year, which is about 0.5x the minimum wage)

Other stuff to say: Here in Brazil the Palestina conflict is being pretty controversial. The evangelicals are fully supporting Israel, "leftists" are split on the subject, and the government (as in traditional Brazilian foreign policy) is trying to keep itself neutral.

More stuff to say: The government here is discussing a possible humanitarian visa for armenians from Nagorno-Karabakh and palestinians, which would help them escape their conflicts to Brazil. I do not know if I should support this or not (especially the palestinan part) because this would just accelerate their displacement and would in the end help the israeli forces in their effort to ethnically cleanse palestine. Still, I do think that people who want to leave should be able to leave.

A group of anti-zionist jews in the USA invaded the Capitol building today and sat down on the lobby with banners calling for a ceasefire in the conflict. They were arrested.

what is "liberal economics financial advice"?

When they can get away with it, it is a Hamas base; when they can't, Hamas did it.

"and then they shot the flyers in self defense..."

Shouldn't police only care about what is not allowed? I mean, they usually are known for making people not do illegal stuff.

But if he is allowed to put flyers there, why are they targeting him? Is it maybe because they aren't really what we think they are, and they are actually the loyal protectors of the ruling class?
