TESSÁLIA

For those who don't know, this person below is Brazil's Logan Paul, though without Logan's humility to know what he is and isn't.👇 He's a YouTuber who got extremely rich making clown and prank videos for young teenagers well into his 20s and 30s: zany faces, video games, profiteering off Brazil's poor with multiple videos ostentatiously showing off his and his brother's $20 million mansions, etc. etc. He's about to be 40 and this is still what he does. But at some point, he decided he aspired to more: he wasn't just a YouTube clown but a profound political thinker. Except he could only uncritically recite elite opinion. When anti-PT hatred prevailed, he made 1,000 videos about how Lula was a thief and crook and Dilma should be impeached and jailed. When elite opinion turned against Bolsonaro, he retracted all his prior views, apologized to Dilma and Lula, and now does trite anti-Bolsonaro clichés while calling for social media censorship. Basically, he's only capable of watching Globo and CNN and repeating what he hears, always aligned with the most superficial opinions of Brazil's power centers. Every country is plagued with these. Anyway, if my credibility really were what he claims here, he probably wouldn't be constantly writing and talking about me as he's been doing ; my work probably wouldn't be as influential; my reporting and columns probably wouldn't be featured in Brazil's largest newspaper, and I probably wouldn't be credited by all factions with breaking many of the most important stories of the last 6 years in Brazil, including about Moraes and the judiciary. Most importantly, he purports here to malign my viral tweet today about the Flavio/Moraes controversy, but you'll notice that he doesn't actually refute a single point I made. That's because he hasn't yet heard anything on his favorite Globo or CNN TV shows that would let him know what he should say in response. It's probably time to just go back your daily adolescent antics for 12-year-olds before your feelings get hurt:

Flávio Bolsonaro pretende se declarar presidente eleito do Brasil após não reconhecer a derrota nas eleições. Segundo o UOL, aliados do senador planejam articular a criação de um “governo paralelo” a partir dos EUA, em uma estratégia semelhante à adotada na Venezuela.

Senador Rogério Marinho, ex-coordenador da campanha de Flávio Bolsonaro, afirma que não sabia que o aliado fugiria do país. Marinho diz ter se reunido ontem com Flávio e recebido mensagem hoje cedo falando que ele iria "dar um tempo".
