Manuscript on Memory (English version)

(This is a rush translation. Version may not be in its final form.)

"The relatively short life of tyrannies is due to the inherent weakness of systems that use force without the support of law." (Aristotle)

He found a Manuscript:

- Many inflamed hatreds of young people who were children when the worker was elected.

I was born when it was still a dictatorship. It was not good to have an opinion.

I saw how difficult it was for a mother to support three children and give them education.

But she gave them.

At that time it was very difficult to spend in public college. My dad said, "You were a grade A student and you did not go into the federal one."

And there were international institutions that warned of the danger of spending on the people. We heard politicians say that education cost a lot. Only 3% of Brazilians had a university because life was like this.

Suddenly all my friends came in. That was in 2003. Suddenly, luckily, the godson who could never afford a private school does Administration.

The privilege system is dangerous.

One of the dangers is that the spoiled child becomes authoritarian. Not always the best alternatives are chosen. The ignorant spoiled is not challenged in his certainties, he admits no divergence.

And since he's never questioned, he thinks he can talk any crap. That your speech is always important. That he can attack the divergent in the nets, while it is just a rabid fool.


Meenwhile problems accumulate and excluded people retain fair resentment.

If you live a system of privilege and oppression, you can, for a time, deny reality.

Create your child in a closed condominium, which avoids the violence planned by misery. Today, companies are even owned by shareholders, who do not respond directly to anything other than profit. And the best deal is no deal, papers and suck the state tax.

For a while.

But now I want to talk about the speech. From the danger that is the word without curiosity. From the danger of being involved by arguments sold by powerful and bought by lazy.

Before, dogma was the danger. Even our philosophers, preoccupied with eternal truths, were harsh critics of the truth that could "raise" a proposition above the others.

About one particular candidate, one commentator said that she "had no reading of the world". This is the most serious. While communication companies buy our thinking, consumerism has created a mass of people who think for "still".

And the old elite, who has always known more, has always studied more, has the law on the tip of the tongue and the maid without a signed license, these "opinion formers" have become accustomed to never hear.

Our privileged class has created a sophistical discourse, but it is strengthened and self-nourished in reiterated rhetorical arguments. Hatred has turned into a wave, and no questioning is welcome.

A lot of our economists, journalists and administrators are like this. And suddenly, the house of laws begins to respond to simplistic opinion, the law begins to respond to the wave of anger, the economy itself becomes an opinion based on arrogance. Now we see the danger of letting fear dominate us, the inheritance blind us.

Observing the coverage of large vehicles of communication, we realize that everything revolves around building the image of a villain, and anything that can contradict that image is denied. And so can also make the public officials accountable for tracking processes. Much worse if they are religious and see their carrer as a mission.

Part of our elite should not direct the nation because it does not respect human rights. Watching the channel Jovem Pan is scary. For social killers, who close schools, and children of lazy privilege, who do not know beyond TV, the progressive discourse that includes youth, black women, Indians, gays, descendants of the enslaved, offends. But, the truth wins in the end. We made a constitution in 1988.

I come from a time that was beautiful to be "neutral", to be impartial and diplomatic.

But the neutral is now only for those who have no morals.

Now the young man and the furious old man speak like robots, I can not hear, they are hysterical.

The poor man who thought to be rich, who collaborates with his oppression, thinking that when violence dominates, he will get away with a weapon; the rich who believe himself superior race, the rich unable to perceive the cause of what strikes him, fragmented thought.

Democracy suffocated by the wave of lies. And yet, there is resistance. "I want to invent my own sin," as the musisian Chico Buarque says.

It looks a lot like when people began to demand more of the political system in the early twentieth century. There was no way to ignore the arguments. The solution was advertising.

Society with a mentality of slave owner, the society that was the last to liberate the enslaved, does exactly the opposite of what mass capitalism thought: higher wages for more consumption. Consumption of luxury for few and police and train packed for many.

And, yes, the ignorant masses sometimes dominate everything. Yes, people can be deceived and even see violence as something justified. Because evil is now in do what everybody does. It is lack of discernment.

Looks like they changed the law in 2016 to arrest a person. That our leaders dream is to sell soy and buy things in Miami. And his children go to school there, as in the nineteenth century.

When Justice seems like a party, we live the paradox of an oligarchic-legislative tyranny, the diversity of information is lost, closing schools is the dominant policy, I have hope.

I also saw the young black women taking up the university. I saw the poor raise their heads and have opinions. So I know. I know that everything has a solution.

I come from a time when the worker was elected.

Afonso Jr Lima
