If we believe the news, in 2018 ) a wave of neo-Nazism swept the country. Neo-Nazis scratched swastikas on bathroom doors at federal universities. Neo-Nazis grabbed a feminist activist and made, very thinly, a swastika with a razor on her belly, which must have been standing still, quiet, so the drawing wouldn’t bend. Neo-Nazis spray-painted swastikas on a church in Nova Friburgo… before being caught spraying “Not Him” in other areas of the city. It’s all a joke. Electoral joke, which did not work in 2018.
Speaking of church, that desecration of the Nossa Senhora do Rosário dos Homens Pretos Church, moved by a PT councilor and his entourage of ignorant red shirts. According to them, that Church of the Blacks is something for white people, and that gave them the right to invade the place, interrupt the mass and curse everyone as Nazis and racists.

The next day, Dona Tabata was talking about Nazism. Tabata is Catholic, she was an altar boy and owes her interest in education to the Church. She didn’t give a peep about the Curitiba episode. Neither she, nor the CNBB.
On the Flow podcast (and so I discovered that Flow and Monark are different things), the brilliant (or not) Harvard student decided to talk about Nazism in the middle of a discussion about the role of politics in the evolution of humanity. Monark thought culture and technology were important. The noble deputy, wanting to say no, argued like this: “As a world, as a human being, we have two histories: one is that of democracy, which is slow, negotiation, etc., the other is that of authoritarianism, and then you can talk about the Soviet Union or you can talk about Nazism. Millions died in both, you know.” Without monarchies or positivist republics, Tabata thinks that humanity is the same thing as Europe between World War I and II.
Monark accepts this blunder, but expresses his skepticism about Brazilian democracy. The noble deputy says that in Brazil there is freedom to say what you think. Monark again expresses his skepticism and she says that he himself, speaking his mind, is proof of the existence of this freedom. Better not comment.
Well, the part of podcast that became famous was this one, in which Tabata says that the existence of a Nazi party hurts the existence of Jews. Her social thinking is modeled on an internet slogan from the years 10: “ If it hurts my existence, I will be resistance.” Monark never said that he himself favored the Nazis; he said he is in favor of freedom of association. As Tabata put the debate in terms of “ or democracy, or Communism and Nazism”, it is natural that, in a democracy, or the criminalization of communism or the decriminalization of Nazism come to light. Who equaled both first was Tabata. I wanted to know if she advocates criminalizing communism, but the full podcast is over four hours long and I won’t see it all.
Some responses were given, either on Twitter or in the articles. A very unpretentious one, which I will reproduce anyway, is the following: “If Thomas Nagel came to Braza to defend the liberal ideal of freedom of expression presented in Concealment and exposure and other essays, the tweeter br would have him arrested. We are very jacu.” So it is. The tweet is from Aluízio Couto, a doctor of philosophy who researched freedom of expression. The object of his thesis would be criminalized by Twitter.
Actually, the The state of affairs desired by Monark is a fact in the United States, where there are a myriad of parties and organizations. Ah, there is no shortage of neo-Nazi organization there.
If the First Amendment is neo-Nazi, so it’s good that the Public Defender’s Office, Alexandre de Moraes and even Eduardo Bolsonaro cry out to the UN for measures against that barbaric country.
In addition, since Tabata considers herself a spokesperson for the Jews, we should ask her to give Gustavo Maultasch, who wrote an article for Folha defending Monark and explaining the liberties of the United States (where, by the way, Tabata studied). In the article he declares himself Jewish and the grandson of Holocaust survivors.
Bunch of jacu?
I actually just disagree with the colleague Aluízio when he says that we Brazilians are jacus. We are very used to asking for the decriminalization of things that, come to think of it, are crimes. It calls for the decriminalization of marijuana and abortion, without necessarily incurring in the apology of crimes. The distinction is very clear in our heads. However, with the alliance between big techs and traditional journalism, it is possible to change the perception of public debate. They want to make us believe that everyone thinks racism is a “power relationship”, but they don’t. It’s all a little virtual bubble of journalists, academics and bureaucrats who say what ESG monopolists want.
And what they order now is that FEANAPÁ, or Festival of Cancellations that Ravage the Country, have a Nazi edition in an election year. I think it’s stupid, but people give millions to people like João Santana because they think he’s smart. João Santana, who created the #CiroGames podcast and put the colonel in a sweatshirt.
Brazil is so used to theoretical discussion that our left welcomed Glenn Greenwald, from whom I would keep my distance precisely because of his relationship with neo-Nazi groups.
