Yeah, I just figured this was a different event wherein Bolsonaro himself lost his cool and just started stabbing people in the streets for not promising to vote for him.

Well if Bolsonaro loosens gun laws like he promises then when those stabbers come for you, you can shoot them with your gun. The logic seems perfectly sound.

Or maybe go full Wild West, no gun laws at all.

(Yes, I know it's not actually true, towns still had rules on guns and all in the Wild West)

Most wild west towns had extremely strict gun laws and were filled with civil war veterans. It uh... Wasn't very wild.

That's the keyword, most. There were certainly places that didn't have a whole lot of law and order.

Back on topic, isn't the second round of voting in the Brazillian Presidential election this week? 25th or something?

Well, it's Election Day!... For Brazil. The Guardian has a liveblog up: https://www.theguardian.com/world/live/2018/oct/28/brazil-election-2018-second-round-of-voting-closes-as-bolsonaro-eyes-the-presidency-live

Not news for Teneb, but news for me (not surprised however...), Bolsonaro is going to be scary for the planet. full article

A question though, the liveblog entry mentions indingenous reserves, are those national park/wildlife reserve type things or are those the equivalent of reservations (if Brazil even has those) for the Native American populations there?

Regarding the question: it's an area where no exploitation or settlement is allowed except by the native people assigned to that area. So I guess it's like a US reservation.

Also I am very salty right now, and very pissed with these fucking fascist-enablers yelling on the streets.

Currently pondering if I go on a redacting spree or not. 10k posts is a lot to go through.

Exit polls show Bolsonaro winning 56% to Haddads 44%, full election results are supposed to be released soon. Everything I've read shows this to be Brazils equivalent of 2016, though the winner is actually winning the popular vote.

I wonder if Trump will grovel at Bolsonaro like he does Putin and Kim Jong-Un :P Though I also wonder if Bolsonaro would be offended by it.

I'm a bit surprised Trump hasn't already tweeted congratulations towards Bolsonaro given how much alike he and Trump are.

Under any other US administration I'd say the CIA should assassinate Bolsonaro and install a liberal puppet government. But we don't have the moral authority.

@Footjob, you can microwave most grains I've tried pretty easily through the microwave, even if they aren't packaged for it.

Is there any point where you have the moral authority to assassinate world leaders to install puppet governments

Seems like a dick move that will have long term consequence literally every time it has ever been done
