Reply to Bolsonaro Vows To Purge Brazil of Left-wing ‘Crooks,’ Designate them as 'Terrorists' by ziq
Violence against minorities have increased considerably in the past weeks. They believe we're a threat and they are compelled to eliminate us. The far right used social media very heavily to spread memes and show the presidential candidate as some sort of god-sent god.

I'm not caring anymore about these elections. If he wins, we lose. If he loses, we lose anyway. The struggle continues.
He's going to spend all day on social media saying shit, reverting progress made in favor of the minorities day after day. He doesn't know anything about economy (and anything that requires years of study) and he despises the political processes.

Reply to comment by throwaway in Facebook asks for a photo of me and then deactivates my account, how do you avoid being blocked? by alqm
I know what you mean, but it's the only way to keep contact with the other activists from my country. They won't all change away from it. I always try to get people to use libre alternatives, but they're reluctant.
Anyway, your tips will help me get it right this time. I have been using Tor and uBlock (not together). I might try again using a new phone number and email, adding people slowly, trying to be more like a new user.

Ha! Who's gonna do the dirty jobs if everyone opens a company? Capitalism doesn't work like that.

Reply to Charlottesville killer charged with hate crimes by ziq
I saw someone use a picture of torch-equipped neonazis around the statue at Charlottesville with the subtitle "we will not be silenced". As if they were the oppressed.

You open the Facebook page of any prominent female activist and they're filled with comments left by men saying culture of rape doesn't exist and women are exaggerating. It's disgusting what you hear them say. And we still don't know who killed Marielle. She was shot with a machine gun in the middle of the street in the evening. The militias are so powerful and influent, they have politicians and cops under their control. That's how they get guns and new targets.

Reply to How do you invest your money? by OKC
I buy spray paint, make banners and buy many blankets for donating directly to the homeless during winter. We have a group called Black Angel in Sao Paulo. Not just giving things to help them survive, but also talking a lot. You have no idea how much you can learn from them. There was a trans person once that gave us a lesson of politics, very smart. They even appeared on TV afterwards. That's how I invest resources.

Reply to Brazil’s Trucker Strike Paralyzes Country, Could Lead to Dangerous Outcome by retiredaccount
This strike was a golden opportunity for all the anarchists and leftists to get together and make a huge difference. A total strike, just like the one happening in Greece.

nmap is often used in movies. I was surprised to find it in Elysium.

My friends say the same thing. I think you're right then. I live in a small town. Not many are speaking, but those who do, speak of Bolsonazi.

In one of the Matrix movies, when Trinity is disabling the power grid, she uses nmap on GNU/Linux to find a vulnerable host.

Few days ago, the protests were seen as a very noble act and everyone was supporting the truckers. All of a sudden, the government became hostile to the movement. Simultaneously, the biggest media corporation in Brazil started to show the protest in a bad way, trying to spread the idea that this strike is ruining everything.
That's all they talk about now. The media now shows them as rioters.
But it's sad to see many truckers are actually protesting to ask for military intervention. Brazil wants another military dictatorship.

Gas stations are closing earlier, and only a few have gas around here. The price of food is also increasing as a consequence. Capitalism in Decay.
