sometimes i feel like having a bare minimum knowledge of how structures of power rule this world through capitalism is a curse that keeps you from ever being truly happy and capable of just. enjoy things again. like the good old days. when you used to play the sims and not think about how a life simulation game this big won't ever be able to simulate your life and culture because a) you are not american. b) the game is made by a multibilion american company for americans and you just started playing it in the first place bc of piracy and cultural imperialism. your parents made you learn english when you were younger so you could maybe leave the country and live a better life than the one they had but the internet happened while you were growing up and every single piece of information you wanted was accesible only in english so you start thinking. ok why everything is so centered around the usa. why is their culture depicted through their media as the default culture. why am i only able to see myself and my culture through their distorted lenses. LIKE OK BRAIN GIVE ME A FUCKING BREAK PLEASE MY SIMS JUST HAD THEIR FIRST CHILD IM BEGGING YOU PLEASE STOP I JUST WANT TO VIBE TO THIS MOMENT S HUT UP

One year ago, Evaldo Rosa was murdered by 12 military officers in Brazil. He was taking his family to a baby shower when the officers opened fire against their car. Out of the 257 bullets that were fired against them, 62 hit the driver. His wife, a friend, and his child also were inside the vehicle. When Luciano Macedo tried to help the injured singer, he was also shot and killed. The police said that the shooting started because they thought the car was stolen.

Ágatha Felix was 8 years old when the police murdered her. She was on a Kombi with her mom, and they were going to the favela Complexo do Alemão, were they lived. The car stopped to let passengers that were carpooling with them out. The police officers fired against a motorcycle, but the shot hit little Ágatha in the back. She was inside the vehicle. The police claims that they were attacked by multiple criminals and that the officers had nothing to do with the death of the girl.

João Pedro Mattos was 14 when he was murdered with a shot in the back. The federal police invaded his home already firing. One of the witnesses tried shouting at them that there were only children inside the house, and that they were already on the floor with their hands up. João Pedro, already injured, was then kidnapped from his home in a helicopter. His family only became aware of his death a day later. Hand grenades and a pistol were found in the residence, although witnesses claim that they were planted to incriminate the victims. Police says that the action was part of an operation against leaders of criminal factions, and that drug dealers opened fire against them.

Say their names. Do not let them be forgotten.

“In the United States  A policeman Killed a black man He couldn’t breathe In Brazil, Every 23 minutes, Our youth are executed By this state. Enough! Stop the massacres! Police are murderers!”

this is Rio de Janeiro right now. a wave of protests are about to burst out in Brazil real soon, caused by a LOT of things. police brutality is one of them but this is also about our genocidal and fascist president, jair bolsonaro. last month, being asked about the rising numbers of deaths caused by the COVID-19 (which are killing more black and poor people than whites btw) bolsonaro said: “so what? what do you want me to do?”. yeah. he is this type of bigot piece of shit.

so i’m expecting y’all to extend your empathy to the minorities from outside the US too. 

if you want to know more about our politics, there’s this video (a bit outdated, but one of the best videos in english i saw on youtube about the topic), this video by vox (it’s like a complement to the past video) and i recommend watching the documentary “the edge of democracy” on Netflix.
