In Brazil migration is not really an issue, so even the right doesn't care about it too much

Key phrase there being "feel like" in my experience this is what right wingers are like everywhere, always insistent that they are being oppressed while they still have more privileges than most other groups.

Empathy and introspection require a modicum of intelligence. You’re asking too much of conservatives.

Oppression and control is their literal ideology. Oppress women, minorities, any ethnicity outside their own, forcing their religion on others, seeking authoritarian powers for total control over the masses. Constantly pretending they are the oppressed, and the only way to save themselves is to oppress others, is just part of the cult marketing.

Conservativism is a disposition, with no real ideology behind it..just vibes. They tend to get used by whatever ideology appeals to the most which is how you've got fundies,survivalists,white supremacists, technocrats,nationalists, and capitalists all under the same umbrella

TBH I am not a fan of exporting potentially troublesome individuals to other countries.  For anyone wondering how they are moving , mercosur citizens can initially get a 2 year residency in other mercosur countries. With extensions possible after that or even citizenships. Argentina, Brazil, Paraguay, Uruguay, and Bolivia are full members.  Associate members are Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, Guyana, Peru and Suriname. All of their citizens can live and work in the other member countries.  (Venezuela is suspended from this agreement)

Why do right-wingers everywhere act like left-wing middle class workers want higher taxes for themselves? Usually we want to tax the wealthier more These people have zero ability to think critically about their literal life

They can't understand that anyone successful might have empathy for other people, hence anyone advocating left wing policies is some kind of scounger or something and just out for handouts.

There is no right to being shielded against public opinion or criticism. Especially when those opinions or criticisms are rooted in facts based on historical and scientifically significant evidence.

Oppression is what it literally looked like when Bolsanaro was in power. Can’t say I don’t agree with the move though because it would be nice to have dumb right wing thinkers moving to right wing countries so that they can’t prevent real countries from getting in the way of world progress.

1: They’re not, they’re literally crying telling everyone that Brazil has been living in a dictatorship in the last 4 years and it couldn’t be farther from the truth. What kind of dictatorship can you literally write online you want your president to suck a giant d*** and nothing happens to you? 2: Considering they did a Jan 6th shit show (quite literally, if you look it up) I would suggest they should SYBAU forever

Last 4 years? Right wingers have whined about living in a socialist, quasi-soviet nation since Lula first won in 2003. They just started crying "dictatorship" because of what Bolsonaro have said. Hell, they even said it was a dictatorship WHILE Bolsonaro was president.

Right. The most oppressed people always move to different countries in search of lower taxes. Yes, the hallmark of the oppressed, truly

Okay, not-so-serious question: How hard is Brazil fighting to keep them? Because I sure wouldn't.

There's nothing stopping them from emigrating through legal means, just like there's nothing stopping them from spouting their insane bullshit, which they have been doing nonstop in the same breath they cry about the country being a far left dictatorship

commandrix 1 day ago +1
Yeah, thought so. I was mostly kidding about it, because they aren't even attractive enough to watch their asses as they walk away, let alone being worth fighting to keep.

If Bolsonaro puts in a good word for them with his buddy Trump, they’d have a home in many states!

Minimum social contribution, and maximum ability to indoctrinate your child. That's the conservative way, alright.

Good riddance, but these people should have the same warranty as products bought in Paraguay: once it's out the door, they are not Brazil's problem anymore.

Why is home-schooling conservative?

Evening_Operation197 1 day ago +34
Most Brazilian parents who complain about having to send their kids to school say that they'll be 'indoctrinated' by left-wing teachers. Deep down, they know their values are questionable and they want to pass them on anyway, but without any potentially decent people looking.

Because they can imprint their own rotten ideals in their lessons instead of y'know.. facts.

Because for many it allows parents to teach a white-washed version of history and societal norms. You know, like slavery was actually a pretty good deal for both master AND slave. Anyway, it's not a truism about conservatives and homeschooling, but I've never met a liberal that chose to homeschool their kids.

Private schools are very common here. Families pushing for homeschooling are kind of rich and would never send their kids to public school. I think this part is different in the US.
