Brazilian culture secretary Roberto Alvim was fired from the government Friday after he appeared to quote Nazi propaganda minister Joseph Goebbels in a video setting out his agenda for a conservative “rebirth” of the arts.

Brazil has gone more to the right in recent years, without question.

Translated into reality:

The Brazilian culture minister did not quote Goebbels, but made comments that were vaguely similar, at least in a certain translation. Because the left holds hegemonic institutional power, this was sufficient for him to lose his job.

I take it you are a 'conservative', you know the kind who will defend a neo-Nazi to the death and attempt to tell people what they see with their own eyes is fake. Lordy!

Making a lot of ASSumptions there.

I did not assume that Brazil is going more conservative/nationalist because it is a fact. This type of government led to the Final Solution in the last century one of whose chief proponents was Joseph Goebbels. The speech delivered by the dismissed Brazilian Culture minister is almost verbatim that of the Nazi Propaganda Minister. Not one assumption, never mind 'a lot'. Need I remind you that the root of the word Nazi is nationalist?

You made a lot of ASSumptions about another poster....

And I watched the video.... A few phrases match between the quotes and you go berzerk.

There have been literally hundreds of examples of like phrases used in political speaches that have nothing to do with each other...

Like Bush's new world order statement.

Hitler and Himmler literally spoke hundreds of thousands of words. Screaming that someone "copied" a few is ludicrous.

I stopped replying to you on another topic for using personal insults so I will not bother here either for the same reason.

You accused another poster of supporting Neo Nazis yet you whine about someone pointing out the foolishness of that accusation.

Incredible.

There is a lot of truth in what you say. Democracy is more fragile than we like to think and evil never sleeps.
