New Videoessay: Bolsonaro and Brazil's Struggle for Truth and Memory (Patreon)

Here is the new video I wanted to make on Brazil. The idea of this video was essentially to give an answer to the question why a large group of people in Brazil dont care as much when a politician makes pro-dictatorship or pro-torture statement. In the coverage of Brazils new president it was unavoidable to read about some of his statements regarding Brazils military dictatorship but I saw next to no explanation why he gets alot of votes regardless. This video was my attempt to explain this and I hope I gave a good explanation.

While this video isnt my longest yet, its definitly up there with my video about Fake News in the First World War in terms of research effort put in. A major difference being that I did not have much previous knowledge or sources to draw from.

I expect that this video will probably the one with the highest amount of backlash but thats okay. I'm intentionally ripping open some wounds and make statements that alot of people in Brazil would surely disagree with but I did the best I could to get as close to a truthful answer to the question above.

Sorry again that this video is kind of late but hopefully you wont mind when watching the result. The next video should also come out this month. I also thought about making a little bonus show to this one going into what modern fascism might look like, choosing Brazil as an example. Let me know if you would want to see that.

Also thanks to you folks backing my work I was able to switch to a different editing software which is like a night and day difference.

I'm curious what your thoughts are!

Love ya,

Daniel

P.S: I asked someone to caption this video in portoguese but I'm not sure that person will be done by tomorrow so if your bored, just submit your caption and I'll publish it alongside the video. If there arent any major mistakes, the video should go live this weekend.
