@DavidNeiwert 1) Here's my doubt, David: we have, in Brazil, an actual situation where we believe is transitional between democracy and "something else". But take a look: when the Secretary of Culture was identified quoting Goebells, neonazi Bolsonaro HAD TO FIRE HIM.
@DavidNeiwert 2) That's a transitional state. What shall we call the USA? Where occupants of public government positions publicly defy their orders? What is it? Should we go ahead and say the USA are NOT a "modern" Nation State anymore? Should we call the International Court?
@DavidNeiwert 3) Is that okay for semi-illiterate folks to interpret a over-century old document with absolutely ZERO historiographic training (the American Constitution, which, I absolutely cannot understand, has not been updated)? And then decide they will adopt a "private" interpretation...
@DavidNeiwert 4) ... of law enforcement? Does this sound even a bit "normal" to you or anybody? Isn't it obvious that there is NO SUCH THING AS "AMERICANS"? There are the XVIIth century white obscurantist dudes and then there are us, the rest. We have NOTHING in common with them.
@DavidNeiwert 5) Nor do you: you just happened to be born inside an artificial border that defines "Americans" but, dear colleague, you have ZERO in common with these... creatures. The battle, which might become a war, is not inside a Nation State anymore.
@DavidNeiwert 6) It's between white supremacists slash evangelicals worldwide V "us", the representatives of what can be the future of humanity. Because they are certainly not.
