>>22914329i was just joking, but sometimes i really wish i had been born american, because I dislike brazil, I don’t plan to immigrate anywhere, even though I could easily get EU citizenship, I just really don’t have any hope for this country
I live in the countryside of the richest state in brazil. life is calm here, and I don’t have much to complain about when it comes to things like crime. but at the same time, i'm shocked by how bad things are in most places, and no one does anything. nothing changes, and nothing will change.
our country is a complete disaster. the government taxes everything and doesn’t improve anything, and most of our people are idiots who keep voting for the same awful politicians for their own benefit. they’re selfish people who don’t care about anything serious, only about meaningless, shallow things. even the ones who try to “get involved” in politics in a more serious way only focus on disconnected topics that make no sense in a third world country.
I know that in usa, most people also don’t care much about deeper issues, but your quality of life is on a whole different level, so it’s more understandable. the poorest neighborhoods in america. are probably better than any favela in rio de janeiro. people here think literally every american is rich, and compared to brazil, that’s honestly true most of the time, lol
I don’t think the people here will ever change, no matter how much time passes. brazil has always been treated as a dirty investment from the very beginning. rhere were attempts to create a real brazilian culture and identity, and that worked to some extent in areas like music. but in more important areas like education, it failed. It’s sad, because I feel like in every situation, you can analyze what a certain society would do, there are japanese values, arab values, german values, but what are brazilian values? they don’t exist. they simply don’t.
