This is how Augustin de Saint-Hilaire, French botanist and traveler, described Brazilians in 1820:

"What seems certain is that everything took place in an orderly fashion, without the shedding of a single drop of blood. This people carry out revolutions with a wisdom that I never tire of admiring, though its causes are easily understood. Brazilians are naturally cold, slow, and not very passionate; since I have been in this country, I have not yet met a single person who displayed any enthusiasm. Even the children have surprised me with their grave and reflective demeanor—they are men in miniature. With this character and accustomed to blind submission, this people must naturally continue to maintain respect for authority, even when revolting against it."

The hypersocial, extroverted, loud, obnoxious, criminally-inclined Brazilians people think of because of the media and the internet are a tiny subset of specifically Cariocas (people from Rio de Janeiro) and university students.

To think all Brazilians are like this is to say "Americans wear large gold chains and play basketball all day" without asking "which Americans?"

@Semiogogue Idk. I'd be very surprised if it was anything else. The two big buttons + speaker grille + smaller buttons, it's just too similar. Maybe they took the photo with it precisely because it was uncommon/foreign status symbol.

Couldn't find a perfect match for this particular design but it's almost definitely a portable radio receiver.

🇬🇧 The Telegraph is at it again — pure slop, zero journalism.

Their headline: "Russia considering lowering working age to 12 and reopening Soviet child labour camps." Sounds dystopian. It's also completely fabricated as presented.

Here's what actually happened: Moscow's children's ombudsman — one local official — suggested on a radio show that teenagers could optionally work summer jobs from age 12, and floated reviving Soviet-era seasonal work camps where kids spent a few weeks doing agricultural work and got paid. She was talking about voluntary summer employment to keep kids occupied, not some national Soviet revival policy.

A single city-level ombudsman made a suggestion on a radio show — and The Telegraph turned it into a regime-is-enslaving-children headline with Putin's face front and center.

This is what passes for journalism at one of Britain's oldest newspapers.

Estados Unidos exige una democracia liberal a todos sus súbditos porque es el régimen político más sencillo de parasitar y controlar.

Si vivís en una democracia liberal, no residís en un país soberano.
