>What the hell is going on over there?
The normal things, people dont giving a shit about others peoples life or death, school "shooters" (they caught 3 in a month and one actualy succeed) inflation, a civil war in Rio de janeiro and so on, basically a worst and poor version of the us.
>Stop watching the news and go outside
Last time i did there was a dead hobo and other one shivering in a puddle of vomit, not even the police give a fuck, a girl looking at a smartphone stumbled upon the dead one and almost fell, there alot more of them too.

and people want the US to be turned into Brazil...

>>18296995
For some reason this makes me think of catch-22. Probably not the book that hits the spot in this case though.

There's nothing much going on in Brazil, to be honest. It's just stuck in the middle income trap and without a significant advance in the education and financial system it will remain so for a few decades unless a ruling power showers it with money (much like what the US did to Japan/South Korea).

>>18297013
if i go outside there's a good chance i will be mugged lmao

>>18297102
Japan and South Korea were never like Brazil, even if they were as poor at times. It's not a matter of economics.

>>18297199
>considering the huge expanse of jungle
This is pretty insignificant, most of the country is not covered in forests or any such thing. The rainforest is confined to the North, and it is a nightmare to deal with, but it's mostly a regional thing. The problem with Brazil is that even if you look at the richest cities, they're basically completely fucked and nearly inhospitable. It doesn't matter that São Paulo is a gigacity with 15kk+ people living in it and the financial center of the country and of South America. It's still a hellhole.

Never said that but both, negros and natives, were colonized and enslaved in the Americas (and mostly mixed with them in the process). So there isn't an "evil whitey" out there to fight in Latin America. That's nonsense.

Its not normal to have large areas controlled by drug dealers in a constant state of civil war.
Its not normal to have more than 60k homicides in a year.
Its not normal to have nurses acting like they are vacinnating people but instead there are stealing doses to sell or to vaccinated their own family.
Widespread corruption is not normal.
Its not normal to government to just ignore people living in shacks for fucking decades.
Its not normal dont have sidewalk because people made the entrance to their garage in away that forces people to walk in the streets among the cars.

Murican propaganda over decades
Hate against communism

It's like that it was builded to fuck to other countries to build themselves, how can a country so fucked as it is brazil - with a population that in some places is eating cardboard soup with cactus - to build itself from the ground without a good education?

Tell me you bunch of fuckers from there (so am I) how can a fucker that literally lived like an animal for his whole life help himself if even you with all the education you received do that? Imagine being more ignorant than are you now? How would you fare?

Op, acho que um livro que retrata bem a falha de caráter de certa parte do povo brasileiro é o Triste fim de Policarpo Quaresma, do Lima Barreto. Vou logo avisando que o final é bem triste, como o próprio título diz.

Outra coisa: gente ruim tem no mundo todo. Não fica arrancado os cabelos por causa disso, não. O Bananil é, ao mesmo tempo, um puxadinho do inferno e um pedaço do paraíso.

>Any recommendations?
From what I've read Fernanda Melchor and Mariana Enríquez (she has some incredible short stories and some ok ones, read El chico sucio and La casa de Adela from the things we lost in the fire first to see if it's your thing), by reading about both of them you can also find some similar authors.
>I tried to ask in brazilian imageboards, but with no success
Yeah it's hard to get into contemporary fiction and it's hard to keep up if you don't only wanna read contemporary fiction. I'm honestly shamefully ignorant about Brasilian literature (something I plan on fixing soon) so I couldn't tell you where to start either. What could work is finding some good publisher, looking for some youngish literary critic (from academia or not) or asking some literature student/professor. Maybe the first book you find or get recommended will not be the best but you'd at least have a starting point.

South America, after Spain's withdrawl, was svppvsed to be a collection of bvsed Catholic/Indigineous syncretist balkanized states that lived in harmony with its natural resources. Now they plant basedbeans, burn forests, and submit to the Anglo. What went wrong?

É verdade. Ele fazia várias críticas sociais. Não foi à toa que encontrou dificuldade em publicar o Recordações do Escrivão Isaías Caminha. Esse livro só saiu porque foi publicado em Lisboa, e o Lima Barreto não ganhou um tostão com ele.

Brazil is hard to develop economically because it's a corrupt psuedo-maoist Sodom where walking down the street can potentially get you killed. It's like if Portland was a tropical paradise full of niggers.

>>18297321
Why is it that mostly pure indo-american countries, even though they also went through colonization, are mostly safe places to live? Bolivia and Paraguay are some of the coziest countries in the world.
Why is it that mostly whitey colonies, even ones that suffer poverty like Argentina and Uruguay, are also decent places to live or at least not dangerous like Brazil?
Why is it that a literal warzone like Syria during the revolution had the same number of murders as Brazil during peacetime?
Blaming 'colonialism' is just a cope for subhuman thirdies who're too stupid and niggardly to grasp aryan concepts like responsibility and autonomy. The only people Brazilians should be raging against are parasitic favella-niggers and the corrupt political class that enables them.

Eu não fico, mas você tem que concordar comigo que é baita cenário pra um livro e que a sociedade, ou a "anti-sociedade", brasileira tem as suas peculiaridades, eu também queria entender porque ninguém escreve sobre a sociedade brasileira atual, os nossos escritores parece estar presos no passado e desconectados do presente.

>>18297680
Thanks man, i gonna look it up.

I’ve been wanting to ask a braziloid some questions. First of all, is there any meritocracy over there? If you’re somewhat smart and motivated, can you “make it”? Also, every Brazil anon I’ve interacted with on here seems so depressed about the state of their cities. How it’s dangerous and so on. Don’t you have comfy small towns over there that you can move to? I always thought Brazil wasn’t so bad but every braziloid seems so fucking depressed. They just might be the most depressed demographic on this board. Aren’t the women at least pretty hot and feminine?

>>18297520
It is normal and it mostly affects niggers

>>18296995
Something about India probably. LMAO

>>18298057
>Also, every Brazil anon I’ve interacted with on here seems so depressed about the state of their cities. How it’s dangerous and so on.
I've always been a bit puzzled by this. Sure, Brazil has a high murder rate, but even their shitholes like Rio have a lower homicide rate than some American cities. If anything being American is more depressing because you know a worse version of Brazil is in your future, whereas Brazil will always be Brazil.

>>18298109
yes this is why I was also a bit puzzled because I saw a comparison of some American cities and Brazilian cities by homicides per 100k, and cities like St. Louis, Baltimore, New Orleans etc were far more dangerous than the ones in Brazil. Can’t tell if they’re just being dramatic or what.

brazil died with senna
prove me wrong

>>18298055
Anão, se algum escritor compor um romance com a devida conformidade com a realidade brasileira, é capaz da obra receber críticas por não haver coerência entre os fatos narrados. Tal é o absurdo em que vivemos. É como diz esta máxima: “a diferença entre a verdade e a ficção é que a ficção faz mais sentido”.

>>18298142
It's not like it isn't bad there. I think people from down there just have an unrealistic image of the US - many major cities in the US are shittier than LatAm.

I mean St. Louis alone has like a 90 per 100k murder rate, lol. That's like 3 times as high as Rio. Fuck, I really hate the slave traders. It's their fault.

99% of Brazil’s problems come from the fact they chose such a hideous flag to represent their nation

>>18298109
>whereas Brazil will always be Brazil.
This only means that things will continue to get worse.

> is there any meritocracy over there?
The rich is gonna say yes, the poor gonna say no;

>If you’re somewhat smart and motivated, can you “make it”?
If you some luck, most of the brazilians dont even have a proper place to live, the favelas are basically a place for people to sleep, there is no prviacy or a place for study.

>. Don’t you have comfy small towns over there that you can move to?
There is no jobs, in the bigger cities you can live doing anything, from selling water bottles in the streets to sharpen scizzors.

>. They just might be the most depressed demographic on this board
Its not, is the same feeling that you get in brazilian imageboard and in the streets.

>They just might be the most depressed demographic on this board. Aren’t the women at least pretty hot and feminine?
It doesn't matter, if you dont have money woman dont want anything with you.

>>18298163
O pior é que você tem razão.

>>18298142
Its not only about homicides, but the future, or the absence of one, of the country.

https://www.nexojornal.com.br/interativo/2016/01/11/O-seu-sal%C3%A1rio-diante-da-realidade-brasileira

And basically if you make R$ 3500 or more you're part of the 10% richest people in the country. I know a manager at a software company making R$ 10000 a month, and a manager at a McDonalds makes this:
>>18298311
So that gives an idea of how much the people working for them are making. I'd definitely call you rich or at the very least upper middle class.

Some South-American writers have this great sense of the dream-like, speculative, and surreal.

I mean, I agree with the vaccines, hate israel, and hate government intervention.

I even don't really agree with the basis of the BLM.

SOMETIMES PEOPLE DON'T LIKE TO BE CORRALLED INTO A LITTLE BOX

>>18305708
No, I'm telling you the government should have no authority on anything beyond arresting thieves, murderers and rapists, and a big red button to nuke the country that is trying to invade you, and that's that. Everything else the government does it fails, everything the government do it fucks everything over, and they can go bankrupt again and again because of their utter incompetence and force your whole lineage to be kept under the thumb of tax to pay for the bills.

So, the only party in the world cutting its own political power is the republican party. Everything else that isnt't cutting taxes and regulations is blatant cronyism and state rigging.

>The problem is this two party system
The problem is giving government any kind of authority for anything beyond avoid us to kill ourselves on quarries or other nations to invade.

It's pretty bizarre. I've said this before and I'll say it again, but the pre-20th century Whites and modern Whites are different races. There's no way to explain how fast and how far they've fallen, it boggles the mind.

What’s the relationship with white people over there? Are they targeted or looked up to or treated like shit like everyone else? I want to know because the US will become Brazil 2.0 within 75 years. What should I expect as a white person?

The Republican Party is about invading countries because they don't suck Jewish cock hard enough. Or letting corporations fuck you over because muh free market. You know, I'd really love to be able to go out in public and denounce fags, rioting nigs, and everything else, but BASED Republicans think that corporations should have the right to fire me for political speech outside the workplace. Or maybe my BASED local Republicans will vote to zone the local patch of farmlands and woodlands to into shitty suburban housing. Or maybe my BASED Republicans will vote for more free trade agreements and undercut my labor for some Indian who works for a dollar a day. FUCKING BASED. IT WAS REAL FUCKING BASED WHEN THE REPUBLICANS HAPPILY VOTED TO EXPAND GOVERNMENT SURVEILLANCE. IT WAS REAL BASED WHEN TRUMP AGGED ON HIS BIGGEST SUPPORTERS TO RIOT AND THEN LET THEM GET ARRESTED IN MASS. FUCKING BASED. VOTE REPUBLICAN.

Exactly. Plus there is a huge difference in potential between poor East Asians and poor mulattos hybrid negroids.

We're not lucky enough to have the relationship that Latin American whites have with their nonwhites. Unless things change, it will be South Africa and Mozambique levels of anti-whiteness. Latin America is quietly white supremacist. Jews and whites on top and the mestizos and indios are on the bottom. They don't seem to care, which is amazing. It's changing now due to American influence.

>>18297321
Nigger genes are your problem not whites. Go ahead and name anytime in history when the white population decreased and things improved, I’ll wait

lol we are truly quite the force on the world

>Why does our government suck so much?
>It's because of [group of people who have no power]!
If your government sucks, it's because your elite sucks. If your elite sucks, it's because the institutions that train them suck. Go from there.

You are an ignorant fuck. Civilization originated in the Indus Valley / Fertile Crescent 10000 plus years ago by ancient Caucasian (Aryan) people. The Iranians are some of the oldest civilized people. Do you know where the world “Iran” comes from? “Aryan”, it’s the same world spoken by a different people you stupid brown nigger animal.

Also, Trump's mandate was comparatively the one that meddle less with foreign wars.

>Or letting corporations fuck you over because muh free market
Oh, yes, because I can't get off that amazon warehouse to work literally anywhere else there is a job for me to take if I want to, being free is paying taxes for the rest of your life for services you'll never use

>yadda yadda republicans bad
Oh, yes, they're villains. And democrats are saints.

Get a fucking grip.

>IT WAS REAL FUCKING BASED WHEN THE REPUBLICANS HAPPILY VOTED TO EXPAND GOVERNMENT SURVEILLANCE

As said by other anons, Lima Barreto is interesting for showing the brazilian "mediocrity". "Um abraço para todos os amigos" by Antonio Rafael shows how drug trafficking and drug consumption works in Brazil/Rio(it's not a novel, the author is an anthropologist). It doesn't talk about how brazilian organized crime came to be(but I can say that this is related to revolutionary communist groups wanting to constitute an alternative state in poor areas). I like Lilia Moritz Schwarz, you might think she is a dirty leftist. Her books are interesting for showing the "intellectual" history of Brazil, how academic institutions have been constitued and how racial relationships have been historically in here. You end up thinking about how brazilians are quite naive about themselves.

I'm not really a fan of most authors who are praised in Brazil, especially the sociologists and historians, but also when it comes to the literature. Almost all of it is crap. Brazil has had almost none intellectuals so far, only people who pose with their flairs of certified intellectual and practice their prose technique, without any substance whatsoever.

>>18306025
Not him but I'll explain. The fertile crescent was civilized by Sumerians and semites that weren't aryan. The indus valley people were also not Aryan but got invaded by Aryans to create vedic civilization. Ehh idk it's pretty cringe man, making pro-white people look dumb.

Some people get so used to pseudos that they cannot enjoy anything better. There are lots of tards here who enjoy the worse breed of American counterculture, as if it was somehow real.

>>18306702
Can you quote some American authors you like, so we know a bit of why you think so?

>>18306780
American pragmatist philosophers(Peirce, William James) and ordinary language philosophers(Searle, Quine) are all time greats. I like Thoureau and Steinbeck, I also unironically like Theodore Kaczynski. American books are not what I spend most of my time reading.

Brazilian literature is very "local" instead of focusing in universal themes, while at the same time being unable to grasp its own reality. For all of its history its literary movements have been a worse version of whatever was happening in Europe at the time, morphed with uninteresting brazilian idiosyncrasies(racial and political). Also most of the authors write in purple prose with a few exceptions(Lima Barreto is one of them, who got shit on for writing too simplistically).

Guimarães Rosa and Machado de Assis are generally considered to be the two greatest, I find them ok(but Guimarães Rosa might be unreadable for foreigners). Examples of terrible authors who are praised are Raul Pompeia and José de Alencar.

There sort of is.Though it isn't specified what country the MC is from, it also doesn't matter when the entire planet Earth is becoming Brazil for reasons that will sound remarkably fucking familiar.
The only fiction about this is that there is a way out for based and red pilled men.
