APATHETIC MUSEUMS IN AFRICA 🇧🇼

Interesting to think about what ‘returning Botswana’s artefacts’ ‘to give them meaning’ would look like in real life - especially since they would presumably be returned to be displayed in the country’s national museum. Presumably…

Remember visiting Botswana’s ‘National Museum’ some years ago because had the expectation that a country with interesting geography like the Kalahari desert and the Okavango delta or peoples like the Tswana or San must be able to produce a ‘fairly interesting’ museum about itself. Actually even though Botswana does not have a large population it is comparatively not ‘that’ poor so you assume there would be no real obstacles to it creating engaging displays

Unfortunately Botswana National Museum was one of worst museums I have ever visited. Space was a small dome building with a single main room decorated with a few low resolution print outs of ‘typical scenes’ of Botswana life. Mud huts in a village etc. Some traditional pots had been haphazardly placed around the ‘exhibit’, bunched up against each other according to some strange internal logic and often unlabelled. There were some traditional chairs (?) and carpets displayed in a similar way too. There were several other artefacts on podiums but they were also sparsely labelled. This was the extent of the ‘artefacts’ on show. The museum featured no panels with photos or expositions of Botswana’s history or anthropology

The second floor featured ‘artworks’ about Botswana by local artists. Most of the artwork looked like a souvenir you would buy in a tourist shop while on safari or from a tout sat selling his wares on a large sheet on the pavement; ie Pinterest-type paintings of elephants or black women. You could see everything in the museum in about fifteen minutes. I did not felt like I learned anything about Botswana from the visit. There were no other visitors at the timeImage
ABOUT THE BOTSWANA ‘HYPE’

(PICTURED: Second floor of the Botswana National Museum) Image
The two museums in North Africa I recall being ‘reasonably impressed by’ were the Bardo museum in Tunis, Tunisia and the (old) Egyptian museum in Cairo, Egypt. The latter was dusty and unorganised but had a certain kind of charm, like it had been arranged by an eccentric orientalist. Much in need of an upgrade though - as Al-Sisi obliged recentlyImage

Need to remember when you critique ‘Multicultural Britain’ in many people’s minds that looks closer to ‘Pink Pantheress Britain’ than the ‘Yookay’. Below is much closer to what they think you’re attacking, many will be baffled and reject critique out of hand because it seems mean Image
Partially they believe this because many people are just docile and unobservant but also partially there is a kind of ‘Ordeal of Incivility’ where ‘certain kinds’ of people struggle to ‘be mean’. Taken together you can pick and choose the good, not weird parts of multiculturalism
This very favourable aesthetic view of the multicultural project also emerges out of a kind of ‘Star Trek Liberalism’

Reform should have branch of party with a mission statement to become increasingly esoteric, they should lean into and embrace arcane and recondite candidate selection, policy and publicity materials. Impossible to garner negative press if you put Tibetan wizards up for election Image
Reform over past year seem to have moved away slightly from the ITV-2 aesthetic that they went in big for circa 2024. This is sign of a professionalising party but also a shame insofar as it is an amusing, playful aesthetic. Could have a lot of fun with it with a skilled PR team Image
Aesthetics very important, simple changes can extend electoral reach. Instead of fielding Sikh candidates that look like the image on the left they should field ones that look like the image on the right. The esotericism is a big improvement, makes the pitch much more compelling Image

REVIEWING SÃO PAULO TODAY 🇧🇷

São Paulo is the biggest city in the Americas and the main driver of Brazil’s economy yet it somehow has little to no cultural impact outside the country. São Paulo has great bars and restaurants but overall it can often feel underwhelming

Thread 🧵 Image
São Paulo is the biggest city in the Americas - it has a greater population than Mexico City and New York. Fair to say though it punches far below its weight culturally, really has (unfortunately) little to nothing to show for its size. I am trying not to be too harsh on it here, I say this more because I am curious as to why this is the case. I think you spend some time here you can sort of ‘feel’ it doesn’t have the spark it needs to elevate itImage
São Paulo really grew as a centre for migration, especially from countries like Italy, Germany, Lebanon and Japan. The human capital was fairly good so you have to ask, what does it have to show for it? It isn’t really known for anything, many people outside of Brazil won’t have even heard of it. In this sense maybe you can say its main achievement is its economy - the city (municipality) of São Paulo accounted for 9.7% (or precisely 9.75% in some reports) of Brazil’s total GDP in 2023. Paulistas will tell you São Paulo ‘carries’ Brazil, possibly they are correctImage

THE SEX LIVES OF BRAZILIANS 🇧🇷

Common stereotype about Brazil is that they are obsessed with sex. People are obsessed with sex everywhere you go of course (is normally impossible to scroll the X feed without some kind of softporn appearing) but Brazil how to put it… you know it’s like they say the Inuits have over 50 words for snow - in the same way Brazil has a lot of words for sex and relationships. Country has a reputation to effect of everybody there has the same level of sexual self-restraint as an average gay man, I don’t think this is quite true but it probably is true that there is at least a subset of hyper-promiscuous Brazilians and then importantly here that some of their behaviour is attributable to aspects of Brazilian culture. Qualifier is obviously incel culture and its variants exists in Brazil too but there is nonetheless (seems to me) an important kind of hyper-liberalness in Brazilian mores

Can’t say why exactly could be a few reasons, could be the special, open nature of lusotropical society, could be the average IQ of the country, could be less social stigmas, could be the weather could be all or none of the above. Brazilian once mentioned to me offhandedly that politicians in Brasilia were known for ‘having a lot of sex parties’. Said “isn’t that something quite scandalous?” and got told no not really because it’s not considered remarkable here. Same way that there is supposedly less of a stigma around using a prostitute in Brazil, many Brazilians don’t really think anything of it. Some Brazilian men, within you know five minutes of meeting them they’d be pulling up the Instagram of a woman they were fucking or wanted to fuck and say “ahhh isn’t she hot I am fucking her / want to fuck her” and often she was but to the point, they would do this very quickly after meeting them, they were very forward about this with strangers. Nice to meet you too. Again this is all heterosexual and normal but overall impression you get is that for at least some Brazilians ‘sex culture’ is ‘more open’ like the stereotypes would have it

As I say Brazil has a lot of unique terms for sex and relationships just as Inuits have terms for different consistencies of snow - think more evidence to the thesis, here are some examples:

‘Pegação’ - has several meanings but one of main ones is it refers to act of ‘making out’ with a lot of people. So at carnival or just on a night out you cruise around and you try to kiss five, ten people. The kissing of lots of people, you ‘get off’ on this a bit presumably. You ‘taste them with your mouth’ and then you move on? I don’t understand why you don’t just try to seal the deal for the evening at that point but it’s something some people enjoy doing

‘Ficante’ - this is basically just a situationship, having someone in your roster or harem and you don’t want to commit to them but maybe you text them and invite them over to bang once every week or so. Also though it’s a designator, you identify as a ‘ficante’, you can introduce yourself as a ‘ficante’ to someone

‘Cafuné’ - this means something like ‘to tenderly caress or stroke’, especially the head when lying with a partner. There is a specific word for this. Actually women would tell me Brazilian men are bipolar ‘lovebombers’ who yo-yo from incredibly sweet and tender and loving and romantic to hysterical and clingy to cold and distant as their mood takes them. Very expansive emotional ranges and this term belies that. “Brazilians have attachment styles like a manhole cover, they are very jealous and needy - but then also they all cheat too” one woman said

‘Beijeiro / Beijeira’ - ‘Kissing Bandit’ or thereabouts, someone who smothers you with kisses. To same point above, common enough that there is a term for it

‘Talarico’ - slang for a person who romantically pursues another person’s partner, particularly too if they are a friend. Means something like ‘homewrecker’, again common enough archetype that there is a term for itImage
Spot the pattern
Regular refrain among Brazilian women (note: speaking to a foreigner) was ‘they were tired of Brazilian men’. “What all Brazilian men?” “Yes all Brazilian men.” “All of them? Really? Come on.” Draw your own inferences about the dynamics at play there
