Como Oscar Bolão passou no teste do surdo em Mangueira

CARLOS DIDIER>>

"Na hierarquia da Mangueira, a autoridade suprema na bateria era Mestre Waldomiro: Saratoga era apenas um substituto. Leci Brandão defendia sua música no Palácio do Samba, a nova quadra da escola, quando Oscar subiu e tomou conta de um surdo. Dos grandes. De início, a bateria ficava muda, e Waldomiro, com a cabeça enfiada no alto-falante, apito na boca, aguardava a hora de dar a entrada. De repente, sem ordem do diretor, o repique executou o toque de chamada. Bolão, seguindo o falso comando, fez o surdo vibrar. Metade da bateria entrou, metade ficou de fora.

Waldomiro saiu de dentro do alto-falante. Furibundo, correndo desajeitadamente, pois mancava de uma perna, aplicou ao músico do repique o castigo mangueirense: uma bordoada com a baqueta na cabeça do infrator. Bolão analisou a situação e disse para si mesmo: — Agora sou eu... Estou morto...

De fato, em seguida, o mestre partiu em sua direção. Olhou bem dentro de seus olhos: — Tudo bem, você tá certo! Pode ficar aí... Esse filho da puta é que deu a entrada sem eu mandar!

Por dentro, todo medo; por fora, cheio de moral. Com Waldomiro na banca examinadora, Oscar passou no teste do surdo. São diferentes os diplomas do samba".

The business model is creating an atmosphere of outrage and anger.

 

JON STEWART : 

When I was a young man, 13, 14 years old, if I got a hold of the Sears catalog and there was a picture of a woman in a bra in it, I was like, “This is the most sexually exciting and arousing image.” And as you get older, that doesn’t work on you anymore. And you get to that point where you’re like, “Three people, a goat and someone singing Pavarotti.”

You have to keep stimulating people further and further to different extremities to get that same hit of dopamine. And those apps and that media, especially now, are scientifically designed purposefully — like the woman who was blowing the whistle on Facebook, like our food is designed to escape that part of your brain that says, “I should stop eating right now.” Like, this is purposeful.

The way that we are divided as people, some of it is political and weaponized by political actors, but the majority of it is capitalism. Capitalism with the idea of “How do I generate the most income out of engagement?” And it turns out fear and anger and hate and outrage pay huge.

I’m not suggesting that a monkey washing a cat isn’t a tremendous video, and that will also get clicks, but that’s not a business model. The business model is creating an atmosphere of outrage and anger. And so when you ask, does that have an effect? It absolutely does. And I think it does rewire the brains of the users.

Harris sold out the climate movement

 

Jeffrey St. Clair>>

+ Harris’s flip-flop on fracking is emblematic of her entire campaign, a relatively minor issue that gave devastating insight into her vacuous political character. She could never explain it because the only explanation was pure political calculation (and a bad one). She was willing to invalidate her climate policy to court a few thousand votes in Pennsylvania. It was the equivalent of Hillary telling Goldman Sachs she had one policy in public and another in private. But even more inept. How could you make the campaign about honesty & trust, once you’d shown yourself to be dishonest and untrustworthy on an issue you’d described as being an existential threat to human life on earth?

+ Harris sold out the climate movement (and the climate) and still lost Pennsylvania…

Why did voters abandon Kamala Harris? Because they feel trapped – and Trump offered a way out

 

 

"Yet for much of this election year, the populists’ modern-day successors in the Democrats have served up an anti-populism: telling voters they were wrong.

Americans were told they were wrong to see the corrosion of Joe Biden’s abilities, and wrong to think that his replacement should not be decided in a giant backroom stitch-up. They were wrong not to enjoy the US economic miracle, and wrong not to worry about the future of democracy. Black and brown people and students were wrong to expect the party to oppose the bloodbath in Gaza. Latinos were ungrateful to desert the party of racial equality, while Black men were boneheaded not to back a Black woman. Everyone was wrong not to lap up the rallies opened by Beyoncé and Usher, the skits on Saturday Night Live and that clip of Barack Obama rapping. Why couldn’t they just feel the joy?"

Harris’s stubborn refusal to separate herself from Biden

 

Jeffrey St. Clair >>

+ Like Hubert Humphrey, Harris was saddled with an unpopular war (a war & a genocide in her case) that her own boss was waging. Humphrey tried to break from LBJ on Vietnam but too late. Harris never did.

+ Harris’s stubborn refusal to separate herself from Biden to any degree went so far as to turn her campaign over to his campaign staff, the same brilliant strategic minds that had him trailing Trump by 10 to 15 points in July…

+ Harris had very different policies when she ran against him in 2016, maybe she should’ve stuck with a few of them, instead of saying stuff like her beliefs haven’t changed but her position on fracking/national health care/the border/ have….

+ In what was obviously going to be a “change” election, when Harris had the chance to differentiate herself from Biden, she said there wasn’t a “thing she could think of” she’d do differently…

"Pundits will say toxic masculinity was to blame—and men feeling usurped by women. They’ll say it was the Christian nationalism movement. A surprising shift in Latino voting patterns. Sexism. Racism. Transphobia. Elon Musk. Crypto bros. “Theo bros.” Housing prices. Gaza! Propaganda from Fox News and Newsmax. Misinformation on X.

Perhaps it was the cowardice of powerful men like Jeff Bezos and Jamie Dimon. The anti-immigrant frenzy—Trump’s incessant false claims about vicious murderers and rapists and mental patients swarming across the border like locusts. Property crime. Inflation. Interest rates. Lingering malaise from the pandemic. The Democrats’ failure to sell their economic wins. Kamala Harris’ inability to distance herself from an unpopular president.

Or maybe a combination of all these things. Gender and Gaza clearly made a difference. Inflation is a notorious regime killer—it was high inflation that underpinned the rise of fascism in Europe in the last century—and rising wages haven’t kept pace. When the Dems say, “Look, inflation is back to normal,” well, the price of groceries sure ain’t.

But I’m talking here about something even more basic, something that undergirds so much of America’s discontent. The best explanation, after all, is often the simplest:

Por que Trump ganhou as eleições e o que isso significa para a política

 

 

 

Momento é urgente para esquerda progressista se reinventar e aprender a se reconectar com a população

José Manuel Diogo

 

O cenário político dos Estados Unidos virou mais uma página inesperada, e Donald Trump, com sua postura de líder direto e inflexível, reconquistou o coração de milhões. A esquerda progressista, perplexa, agora enfrenta um desafio crucial: entender e aplicar a receita que, goste-se ou não, trouxe o ex-presidente de volta ao poder.

O recado é claro: a velha fórmula baseada em debates e diplomacia calculada mostrou-se insuficiente. Enquanto a esquerda permaneceu apegada a ideais e estereótipos de um passado que já não se traduz em votos, Trump mostrou-se apto a capturar o medo e o descontentamento popular, demonstrando-se a solução preferida contra a desordem e a incerteza.

Para a esquerda que se diz progressista, a urgência do momento é evidente. Se deseja retornar ao poder, precisará abandonar a linguagem política desgastada e adotar uma comunicação que vá além dos chavões e estereótipos do passado.

Precisa aprender a falar não apenas sobre igualdade e justiça, mas sobre o que as pessoas comuns sentem nas ruas e em suas casas —e isso com uma modernidade, clareza e energia que ainda lhe faltam.

Se a esquerda quiser ter chances reais de reverter o cenário nos EUA e evitar que o mesmo aconteça no Brasil, terá que se adaptar ao jogo dessa comunicação moderna que entende a urgência das demandas e que fala com um público cansado das promessas repetidas e que já não enxerga nas lideranças progressistas as respostas necessárias.

O maior problema é que a esquerda progressista, mesmo após a primeira vitória de Trump, e de Bolsonaro também, não conseguiu, não soube, ou não quis aprender as lições que estes líderes populistas deram. Continuou presa a um vocabulário e a uma estética que já não seduzem nem sensibilizam. Não bastam mais discursos de solidariedade abstrata; é preciso mostrar ação, determinação e autenticidade, como fizeram seus adversário

Em vez de seguir lamentando perdas ou demonizando a oposição, a esquerda progressista precisa agora aprender a criar uma narrativa de futuro, que ofereça uma alternativa real e concreta às ansiedades das pessoas e também descer do seu pedestal de superioridade intelectual e fazer-se à vida. Escutem: não há ninguém aqui melhor que os outros.

Em tempos em que as fake news e os apelos emocionais tomam conta do discurso público, a esquerda precisa reinventar sua comunicação e se reconectar de forma eficaz com o cidadão comum, adotando uma linguagem de empoderamento e esperança, que seja simultaneamente convincente e moderna.

Não é apenas sobre o que se diz, mas sobre como se faz ouvir. Se essa lição não for aprendida de imediato, veremos repetirem-se aqui no Brasil as mesmas vitórias que hoje chegam dos Estados Unidos.

‘Between hate and nothing, hate won’

 

Moustafa Bayoumi:

So, it will be Trump, after all. The very idea of another Trump presidency is devastating. His entire campaign consisted of unbridled race-baiting, woman-hating and fascist-in-waiting messaging, yet still he prevails. This is what succeeds in this country?

The answer, it’s now clear, is a resounding yes. Should I be surprised? There are long and painful histories of racism, misogyny and fascism in this country (the Nazis even studied the US when crafting their regime). But, unlike any other nation’s election, this American tragedy will reverberate around the world. We must do all that we can to prevent a Trump presidency turning into even more of a death sentence not just for American women seeking abortions, but also for Ukrainians, Lebanese people and especially Palestinians.

Hindsight is easy, of course, but some of us have been warning the Democrats for months about the limitations of the Harris campaign. The Democrats appeared more interested in courting disaffected Republicans, including war criminals such as Dick Cheney, than even merely dialoguing with their progressive flank. They refused to allow a Palestinian American to take the stage at their convention. Meanwhile, American bombs are dropped daily on Palestinians in what is widely considered a genocide, and Harris has had little to say.

In fact, Harris probably had little to say about a lot of issues, so much so that the news site Axios labeled her the “‘no comment’ candidate”. The Republicans ran their campaign as a party of hate; the Democrats ran as a party that stood for almost nothing. Between hate and nothing, hate won.

This must be the most profound wake-up call the Democratic party has ever heard. They must stop trying to be moderate Republicans and instead stand for equal justice, working people and human rights for everyone. Saying that they do just isn’t enough.

The Democrats thought all the hate emanating from the Trump campaign was simply an emotion that they could neutralize by their expressions of “joy”. But what if hate isn’t an emotion? What if it’s an ideology? The answer to that question is what we, and the rest of the world, are about to find out. Pray for us.

Os bolsonaristas estão em estado de graça com a eleição de Donald Trump

 

JAMARI FRANÇA

Os bolsonaristas estão em estado de graça com a eleição de Donald Trump na crença de que ele irá ajuda-los a voltar ao poder. Bolsonaro presidente teve um rápido relacionamento com o presidente americano do inicio de 2019, sua posse, a 20 de janeiro de 2020, quando Trump passou o poder para Joe Biden. Neste curto período, Trump fez Bolsonaro de trouxa, levando-o a tomar várias providências que deram lucro aos americanos e prejuízos aos brasileiros.

 

Bolsonaro pediu a Trump que apoiasse a entrada no Brasil na OCDE - Organização para a Cooperação e Desenvolvimento Econômico*, o que seria um trunfo para seu governo com favorecimento em relações comerciais e econômicas. Trump concordou e apresentou algumas demandas que Seu Jair seguiu, daí, no final das contas, indicou a Argentina.

 

A saber: Compra de 750 mil toneladas de trigo americano com tarifa zero de importação; Compra de 750 milhões de litros de etanol isentos da tarifa de 20%, prejudicou os fabricantes do Nordeste. Uma contrapartida para liberação das exportações de açúcar para os Estados Unidos não aconteceu. O pedido de Bolsonaro para que os americanos voltassem a importar a carne brasileira, na época suspensa há dois anos, não foi atendida e Trump anunciou taxação para a importação de aço e alumínio do Brasil sob alegação que estaria havendo uma desvalorização proposital do real.

 

No momento atual existe uma guerra de influências entre a China, com apoio da Rússia, e os Estados Unidos. Como segunda potência econômica do mundo, a China vem estendendo sua influência a várias partes do mundo, incluindo as que tem acordos com a Washington. Uma questão complexa com os chineses investindo bilhões de dólares na própria Ásia, na África e na América do Sul.

 

No governo Bolsonaro, o maior parceiro do Brasil foi a China, responsável pelo nosso superávit comercial. O ex-presidente falava contra a China por ser comunista, mesmo assim os chineses mantiveram as importações do Brasil no que poderia ter sido um tiro no pé do Seu Jair. Com a vitória de Lula as relações com a China foram ampliadas, sem abrir mão das relações com os Estados Unidos. Uma eventual pressão de Donald (Duck) Trump pode facilitar os negócios

 

The Unconfirmables of a Second Trump Administration

 

 

 "Much of the fallout of a Trump victory is unknowable. But this much is certain: Returned to the White House, Trump would get input from — and award key positions to — a bestiary of nihilists, destructionists and even criminals unlike any collection of advisers that any other president assembled. They’d be unscrupulous in all fashions but one: unswerving loyalty to Trump. He fumed about what he saw as a lack of that among his previous cadre of helpmates. The coming coterie would affirm Trump’s worst impulses, nurture his nuttiest ideas and gleefully carry out his orders.

The first time around, Trump cared about impressing the Washington crowd and was fixated on what he believed to be the high I.Q.s of his department and agency heads. He made them sound like the Incredibles.

The current team in waiting? They’re the Unconfirmables."

This Time We Have to Hold the Democratic Party Elite Responsible for This Catastrophe

 

 

"The key to understanding the Trump era is that the real divide in America is not between left and right but between pro-system and anti-system politics. Pro-system politics is the bipartisan consensus of establishment Democrats and Republicans: It’s the politics of NATO and other military alliances, of trade agreements, and of deference to economists (as when they say that price gouging isn’t the cause of inflation). Trump stands for no fixed ideology but rather a general thumbing of the nose at this consensus."

Como roubar uma eleição – versão EUA

 

 

"Olha, a “maior democracia do mundo” (alguém ainda acredita nisso?) foi projetada desde o início para ser antidemocrática. James Madison, o “pai da Constituição”, reverenciado por ambos os partidos, escreveu de forma célebre que o sistema de governo que ele e seus amigos da elite projetaram serviria para evitar “a tirania da maioria” – que é como as pessoas ricas e eruditas da época aparentemente se referiam à “democracia”.

"Os Estados Unidos são um país quebrado, com um império em rápido desmoronamento, corrupção legalizada para os oligarcas correndo solta e uma população cada vez mais raivosa e desesperada. Essa eleição é uma triste prova de que ninguém deve olhar para este país como fonte de inspiração ou coragem. Se este sonho existia, já acabou. "

Can Harris Stop Blue-Collar Workers from Defecting to Donald Trump?

 

 

 

"Newman, who grew up in Pittsburgh and conducted dozens of interviews with current and retired union members in western Pennsylvania, including Herman Sauritch, told me that she had noticed a pronounced change in whom workers saw as their enemies. For older union members, “ ‘us’ was the workers and ‘them’ was business, which Republicans were lumped into,” she said. For their younger counterparts, “ ‘them’ was largely based on perceptions of a cultural élite.”

This new conception has taken hold, in no small part, because conservative media outlets, from Fox News to talk radio, have relentlessly propagated it. But Democrats also bear some responsibility for the shift. Michael Podhorzer, a former political director of the A.F.L.-C.I.O., noted that, in the nineteen-seventies, Democrats began telling a story about economic progress that made almost no mention of the conflict between workers and capitalists. From Jimmy Carter to Bill Clinton and on through to Barack Obama, the new narrative was “a variation of the Republican story that prosperity comes from unencumbered businesses,” Podhorzer said. This faith in markets would have startled pioneering labor leaders like Walter Reuther. The Democrats’ business-friendly turn occurred, ironically enough, just as inequality was widening to levels not seen since the Gilded Age—a problem that deepened as Democrats embraced free-trade agreements. They also supported the deregulation of Wall Street, which helped cause the 2008 financial crash. After the meltdown, the Obama Administration bailed out banks that had engaged in fraud but did little for the homeowners they had victimized, who could hardly have been faulted for wondering whose side the government was on."

Eleição nos EUA opõe ruptura radical de Trump a estabilidade frágil de Kamala

 

"Eleição presidencial nos Estados Unidos, na próxima terça (5/11), talvez seja as mais decisiva e impactante da história do país. Caso vitorioso, Donald Trump voltaria ao poder com o Partido Republicano totalmente submisso às suas vontades e uma Suprema Corte mais favorável, o que lhe daria carta branca para implementar agenda mais extremada que abalaria a ordem global. A democrata Kamala Harris, por sua vez, representa uma esquerda que, emparedada pela polarização, oferece uma continuidade frágil do sistema, sem força para renovação."
