Dutch Minister of Asylum and Migration Marjolein Faber and Deputy Prime Minister Fleur Agema are great examples of Pantsuit Deportation Politics, very un-intimidating cuddly and not weird EU Social Democracy HR ladies sensibly and sophisticatedly opting out of EU Migration Policy
POV: Your asylum application has been rejected and you are being deported back to Bomalia but in a progressive, sophisticated and not weird incel-like way
Deputy Prime Minister of The Netherlands and ‘Far Right’ PVV (Party for Freedom) Member Fleur Agema
Your School Crush and First Love that you are ‘meeting in a bar for drinks’ 15 years after you last saw her because your first marriage to another woman fell through and you ran into her again in a store while you were visiting your hometown and you thought why not give it a go?

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
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
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
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
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
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 🧵
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 it
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 correct
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 it
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
Sneako inexplicably being indulged by world leaders like the Prime Minister of Malaysia now - as well as major third world thinkers and personalities. Like it or not Sneako represents a unifying force in the Ummah, the Ummah love him. Sneako could become leader of a new Caliphate
This is kind of law Bukele needs to keep enacting to take his game to the next level - from boring competent technocrat to full on classical platonic Philosopher King. Ban random hairstyles, ban certain musical instruments, genres of art, forms of poetry etc ‘for the public good’
My advice to Bukele recently has been he needs to level-up, he can’t just sit on his laurels. One of main problems here is the human capital problem. Can you de-choloify a country just by banning a certain kind of goofy haircut? Lots of work still to do
