“Operation Prosperity Guardian” sounds like they ran out of cool name ideas.

Lol, Skyrim memes go brrrrrrrr…
I’ll definetly read this and send it to everyone who is still defending Israel because “Hamas wants to commit genocide”.
I did not know they had a more recent charter. Thank you.
Seems like the brazilian media really doesn’t care about the truth, since they only show us the older charter.
Because there are lots of real leftists in Brazil that usually get lumped in with the “leftists” of the revisionist parties.
wait, they are talking about just going full “dictatorship style” and excluding a party with 14% of the votes of the result?
Also, I’m pretty fine right now. I’m working on a research project at my university, for which I’ve received an scholarship grant (about 120USD per month for a year, which is about 0.5x the minimum wage)
Other stuff to say: Here in Brazil the Palestina conflict is being pretty controversial. The evangelicals are fully supporting Israel, “leftists” are split on the subject, and the government (as in traditional Brazilian foreign policy) is trying to keep itself neutral.
More stuff to say: The government here is discussing a possible humanitarian visa for armenians from Nagorno-Karabakh and palestinians, which would help them escape their conflicts to Brazil. I do not know if I should support this or not (especially the palestinan part) because this would just accelerate their displacement and would in the end help the israeli forces in their effort to ethnically cleanse palestine. Still, I do think that people who want to leave should be able to leave.
“and then they shot the flyers in self defense…”
Maybe it detects “Death to” and then prompts this warning message automatically
We do not use mailing lists very often here. I think it would be hard to convince them. I suggested reviving the old CAASO website, which is abandoned, but it seems like it will remain abandoned for now.
The professors’ union, ADUSP, has entered the strike in the São Paulo campus, so at least there the research has probably stopped.
I do not use IG or social media in general (Lemmygrad is the exception) so I do not know if CAASO (the student organization responsible for the São Carlos campus) or the DCE are using them to communicate. I’ll look into it right now to know the answer.
edit: CAASO has an Instagram page and the DCE has a Facebook page. (I can’t access any of them because I do not have an account)
That is indeed the right option.
Well, I do not know any websites or anything like that, but in the newspaper Folha de São Paulo there are many news about the strike (although they are basically one-sided agains the students).
Also, I think that the state governor, Tarcísio de Freitas is way more responsible for this than Haddad, since Carlotti, the Dean of the University of São Paulo, wants to be part of the Department of Education of the state of São Paulo, so he is pretty much invested in being “tough” on those “students that only want to cause chaos” or whatever because Tarcísio is basically a “far-right centrist” (he wants to privatize everything and he applauds police brutality, but he tries to not be seen as fash).
edit: I think my poor english made this sound kinda weird, so I’ll rephrase it:
Tarcísio de Freitas, state governor of São Paulo, is fash. Carlotti, Dean of the University of São Paulo, wants to cozy up with the fash to get a job in the government. As such, Carlotti is very invested in not appearing weak to “rioters” and as such it will be pretty hard to force him into negotiating.

That’s TikTok, from a private corporation. They do not represent the CPC or the Chinese Government.
I remember that there is a quote from Engels where he says that while the material conditions do have influence on humans, humans can and do influence the material conditions of the world.
If any comrade can find this quote and link it on a reply to my comment I would be grateful.
That is true, I did not think of that perspective. I agree with you.
I think maybe OP is not good at english and is expressing himself poorly. Maybe the war is a part of the agenda of the meeting.
(source: I’m bad at english and I have a lot of experience in expressing myself poorly)
I agree. By being confrontational from the beginning, OP would be definetly a bad person. Only be confrontational if they become confrontational. If they start saying bullshit, just argue calmly and respectfully.
Yes, but as I said, we already have all that infrastructure in Brazil, and it is way cheaper to get people to use ethanol than to get them to switch to electric in the short term.
Carbon neutrality in automotives are a means to an end, which is to get transportation to net-zero. To actually get to net-zero, the only real way would be to get everyone to use public transit (there is not enough electricity in the world for powering a electric fleet of millions of cars). So, I still think that as a temporary solution until public transit becomes good enough of an option, electric cars are (at least in Brazil) way worse than regular cars running on ethanol.
In other countries, electric cars may be better, especially on countries from the imperial core (western Europe, USA, Canada, Japan) becase the population has enough money to buy EVs if they get cheaper. But in poorer, overexploited countries, most people can’t even buy a new gasoline-powered car from the dealership, so why would they buy a new electric-powered car from the dealership? They will obviously just continue to buy used gasoline-powered cars like normal.
Where did you get that information? I just searched it online and the first results say about 33% efficiency for coal plants and between 25% and 30% for gasoline engines.
I’ll edit my coment in a few minutes with the links to my sources.
edit: those efficiencies are energy efficiencies, completely unrelated to emmissions. I did not find any sources for emmissions efficiencies, but I’d guess knowing the energy efficiencies that coal is worse for the environment than gasoline.

here it says that the engine losses go from 64% minimum on roads to 75% maximum on cities.
If I was from the US I would be even more shameless: take the money and not go to the rally.
