But I am glad that you tried to speak Brazilian Portuguese and you did not hurt yourself with the nunchucks.

      Ganhou por uma margem de poucos votos, mas considerando TUDO que o Bolsonaro fez e tinha na mão, é uma vitória GIGANTE. Despejou bilhões no eleitorado pouco tempo antes das eleições, em publicidade só do RUclips batia R$6mi em 1 dia. Tinha a máquina do Estado na mão dele, dos 4 estados com maior colégio eleitoral, 2 tinham governadores eleitos no 1º turno que apoiavam ele, teve coação e compra de votos descaradas, não só por parte das prefeituras, mas de patrões coagindo funcionários. Além disso tudo, ainda usou a PRF pra impedir as pessoas de votarem, num gritante golpe de Estado… e ainda assim, com tudo isso, PERDEU!

      Is probably because the ele electoral laws. The Greg News is the Brazilian version of this same show, but during the electoral time, they stop doing the show, because you have to be impartial. This episode just says the truth, but could be a problem in Brazil because speaks about the Tchutcuca do Centrão (bolsonaro). But it's just my speculation about it

    John's Portuguese is not perfect, of course, but it's perfectly comprehensible, even without the subtitles. It gets even more impressive considering he's using nunchucks at the same time!

    From Brazil here and I have a story that might make you smile. So it’s been a month, he’s lost and so far things haven’t been as bad as we expected, there have been attempts to block roads and highways but they’re not lasting. But one thing that happened with those blocks makes me think my country might be alright after all: a bus full of fans of Clube Atlético Mineiro, a football team also known as Galo, were on their way to another city to watch their beloved teams game when they came across one of these blocks between them and sweet sweet football. The fans got out of the bus and rushed the block beating up the people doing it and physically forcing the road open clearing the way for them to cheer on those that really hold Brazilian allegiance. Some highlights include selfies among the mess and someone over weight uncle (bless that man he is a saint) filming himself in the aftermath screaming (roughly translated): “We are not Bolsonaro, we are not Lula, we are F*cking Galo!!!”

It helps people to believe everything they say about everything.

Sob tais circunstâncias, qualquer alegação sobre corrupção que o Lula possa ter cometido, até então, é desprovida de fatos e infundada sem qualquer embasamento, visto que não há uma prova sequer de seus supostos "crimes" (se houvesse, o Lula não poderia estar concorrendo a presidente, pela lei eleitoral da ficha limpa).

      Terribly insensitive, Samurai taxi driver and Oliver. The notion nunchaku = samurai is like having someone make a pastiche about celebrating Hanukkah and calling himself a "proud commie-fighting *Nazi Waffen SS warrior."*
      Nunchaku, part of Karate developed in Okinawa, was specifically developed to DESTROY samurai oppressors who imposed 90% tax rates and exploited them for 4 centuries like the English did the Irish. When the samurai ran out of native Japanese tribes to slaughter and resettle (Ezo, Kumaso, Hayato, Tsuchigumo, etc. eradiated completely. Nivkh, Ainu, Oroks fled out of Japan), they sailed South to Okinawa and butchered the people there but found it too far to resettle, so they confiscated all the weapons and killed anyone trying to fight back against samurai military dictatorship and oppression.
      Just look at all the weapons they use. Grindstone handles become the Tonfa, Threshing flails become Nunchaku, Sickles get a chain added and become Kusarigama. Lot of basic Karate moves make no sense until you realize they are exercises for using Tonfas or the like. These are all roundabout ways for the Okinawans to fight back against the Samurai rapists and save their families with the remaining farming tools available after the samurai confiscated all weapons.
      A lot of these weapons/techniques were specifically made to disable the samurai oppressors' katana.
      I guess if in Medieval Europe people were also imposed not the historical 25% but 90% taxes and all their weapons were confiscated like the Okinawans suffered, they too would develop martial arts with wheat-threshing flails.
      Japan has taken Okinawan heritage, like with many other Asian heritage, and stolen it, and use it to make money overseas. Especially egregious is this where taking martial arts SPECIFICALLY MADE TO DEFEND AGAINST THEIR TYRANNY and making a mockery of it for the oppressors' profit? *Pure evil.*
      The Okinawan suffering continued into the 20th century spent as WW2 cannon fodder for Japan where Japan hides the fact that these people are NOT Japanese but loves to use them to bloat numbers to play victim to Americans like the Himeyuri Schoolgirls of Okinawa they raped and conscripted to die as cannon fodder.
      _Did you know 1/3 of nuclear victims of Hiroshima (WMD poison gas production hub, used to make bombs to gas Asian cities for 30 years and heavily contributed to the 30 million death toll incurred by Japan) and Nagasaki (Mitsubishi slave factory center) were foreign Asian slaves Japan desperately tries to hide but uses their number to bloat their numbers to drive a narrative? Along with how they were making 2 Japanese nukes but needed to buy time so they scheduled to expand germ-bombing missions to America in the September of 1945? (Not even Nazis used WMDs in war)_
      On top of that, after using the Okinawan deaths to give US forces the false notion that people on this small "Japanese" island are determined to fight to the death to hopefully disencouraged US forces to land on mainland Japan, Japanese oppressors expounded the propaganda they've been fed about "demonic" westerners are going to come and rape all their kids and eat them alive (thus why they must blow themselves up in kamikazes for Japan), they must kill their own children to spare them such a fate, and follow in suit with seppuku (because dead men tell no tales about Japanese war crimes). The remaining Okinawans once the Japanese fled and left them to their fates, were surprised that landing US forces gave them food and medicine, and discovereed it were the Japanese who were raping Okinawan children. Many took the food they were given as offerings to the children they killed, and on their graves they wept tears of blood and cursed Japan.
      When in the 20th century Okinawans started to spread their Karate culture in Japan and overseas do you know what the Japanese did? They forcibly renamed it from 唐手 to 空手 (both read as Kara-te), changing the meaning "China-hand" which pays respects to the original Chinese man who taught Okinawans his style of martial arts, to "Empty-hand" because Japan can't steal it if it has "China" right in the name. Not to mention the big reason Karate became more popular outside of Japan was because the Japanese Judo masters suppressed it, and for quite some time this even was portrayed in media where it was common to depict "noble Judo master defeating thuggish Karate criminals."
      Then after WW2, Okinawans were still treated like Burakumin (the Untouchable Pariahs of Japan) and were mistreated as a whole in society and were ridiculed for unscrupulous thugs who complain about Japan yet still sought work in Japan (that's only because Japan destroyed everything on Okinawa). And dumped 70% of military bases in the tiny islands of Okinawa where it takes up 20% of the land and forbids constructing high rise buildings for security reasons.
      It's no wonder Okinawans want independence like the Irish achieved, and when announcing they want to be like the 2nd Singapore of Asia, Japan scoffs at them today and says they are too poor to be independent, forgetting that's only because they have been enslaving them for 4 centuries.
      There is a good reason why 1 billion Asians cheered for American nukes emancipating them from human experimentation/vivisection on forcibly impregnated girls and their unwanted fetuses, cannibalism, civilian lynch mobs, violent Japanese civilian resettlers, sex slavery of 80-man daily rape quotas per underage girl and subsequent execution if pregnant or at the end of the war because dead girls tell no tales (see Vivian Bullwinkel), mass forced labor, ppl used as cannon fodder for the one true god that is Emperor Hirohito under threat of lynching their families if they refused, forcing colonials to commit seppuku suicide like samurai to fool Americans how "determined" the colonies are to defending Japan, firebombing cities, gassing cities, bombing with germ bombs, erasing culture, arresting/executing any teachers in the colonies that dared teach their native language or tried to build private schools or even make a dictionary of their native language, and forbidding any language but Japanese.
      Samurai of Feudal Japan were also brutal pimps that sold their girls out for Portuguese muskets. The most powerful warlord of 1500s, Oda Nobunaga and his rivals were busy setting up brothels in Philippines to put his slave girls to earn money for his wars (this is on top of an average of 75% tax rates for Japanese peasants, enough that even in the peacetimes of the 19th century, analyst Nobuhiro Satou said annually, 1/3 households in Japan killed a baby.) In the 19th century these became derogatorily nicknamed "Karayuki-san" (Miss Gone-to-China), and later more formally recognized and praised as "Joshigun" (Army of Girls). Famous leading thinkers like Yukichi Fukuzawa praised them like prized moneymaking livestock to earn dollars and pounds for Japan's colonial expansion and "reforms." In around Meiji Restoration period alone, 300,000 Japanese girls were pimped abroad and their brothels even reached India and Australia. Even these Japanese girls noted that native tribesmen were the best partners and the absolute violent and worst were the Japanese men, but wanted white men to rescue them from Japan's brutal sex slave industry. (Think of the background the Italian Opera Madame Butterfly was written in). When this wasn't enough to cover the costs of Japan's ever growing undeclared invasions and more wars, they started kidnapping 100s of 1000s of colonial girls to meet demand.
      And ofc all throughout, they justified everything as the right of Samurai Spirit and Right of Conquerors. The mythical Samurai fervor was used to justify kamikazes, samurai spirit was used to justify having no respect for POWs and were used up in decapitating contests for sport or eaten as sushi. (2 million out of 3 million soldiers had cannibalized a slave/native) (This is why veteran and President George HW Bush threw up the sushi the Japanese PM served in a banquet in 1992, his wingmen were captured and eaten in Chichijima to dehumanize Americans as subhuman livestock and allay the fears of the Japanese troops) Samurai bushido spirit was why the soldiers were given swords in WW2 because holy samurai yamato spirit trumped practicality.

      As a brazilian, i can tell you John didn't mention half of it. Bolsonaro has been a shitty president for almost 4 years now and making brazilian people's lives a living hell with countless scandals and total lack of responsability.

    Yup, right on point as usual. As a Brazilian living abroad I’m terrified for my loved ones still in Brazil and all of my fellow citizens. My family still vividly remembers what the military dictatorship was like, I grew up with horrifying stories from those times and I just pray for my country, I pray that we don’t go down that road again. More than praying I will of course be voting at the near by embassy.

    I remember how Bill Maher was called crazy when he kept asking what people would do if Trump simply refused to leave office. I think this is even more pertinent for Brazil, a country whose culture I love. Best wishes and hopes that thing turn out well for them.
