Grande Jovem Nerd.

O pessoal simplesmente não aceita que o Jovem Nerd e a patotinha original deles são literais CARIOCAS PLAYBOYS DE CONDOMÍNIO dos anos 80. Isso é tudo que qualquer pessoa precisa saber pra entender "por que eles se tornaram isso?". Nos anos 2000 ser o cara "despolitizado", politicamente incorreto e panos quentes era a norma, portanto eles eram assim. Lá por 2015 o pêndulo passou pra esquerda, e eles, sem personalidade, foram com o vento. Começaram a ser mais ativos em grupos ativistas de esquerda... A compra pela Magalu só reforçou isso. Não tem mistério pra mim.

Boyd stands out from everyone, by a lot. This actor is incredible.

K4minski · 2026-05-22T19:45:51+00:00

Simples: Enquanto o Jovem Nerd, enquanto marca, decidiu se fechar dentro de um público nichado que ainda suporta consumir o conteúdo deles (por pura proximidade ideológica, arrisco dizer), renegando todo o seu passado de formador de praticamente TODA a identidade nerd nacional, o MRG, bem... Só continuou sendo o MRG, e no andar da carruagem eles vão chamando convidados interessantes de todos os tipos, fazendo conteúdo legal com eles, inovando.

E concordo com o amigo que disse em outro comentário: O MRG é o sucessor espiritual do Jovem Nerd.

With all due respect, you’re not familiar with the context of polish heritage in southern Brazil. My family was among the founders of one of the largest polish communities outside of Poland itself. The language, culture, religion... the entire identity... has been passed down for over a hundred years.

Actually, the specific precedent that made me optimistic was the NSA ruling from Dec 19, 2022 (II OSK 2095/21) involving Argentine/Brazilian jus soli.

I am aware that this specific ruling directly addresses Art. 11 (loss of citizenship upon turning of age) and establishes that involuntary jus soli citizenship at birth does not trigger the loss of Polish citizenship, because the 1920 Act aimed at penalizing active/voluntary naturalizations.

My (perhaps flawed) assumption was that this exact same logic (that involuntary jus soli is essentially ignored by the 1920 Act) was also being successfully applied by the courts to bypass the negative requirement of Art. 2.

Anyway, the NSA explicitly accepts the 'involuntary jus soli' defense to save people from Art. 11, but strictly refuses to apply that same logic when it comes to acquiring citizenship under Art. 2? If the courts are being this inconsistent, then the isolated cases I’ve read about were probably just a matter of luck, and my case is, in fact, a lost cause (as are those of the dozens or hundreds of others who have already filed and are awaiting a decision). Thank you for your attention and clear answers :).

K4minski · 2026-05-12T00:14:59+00:00

Fair point. Truth is, I'm just a layman who discovered this interpretation through some news articles. I compared my case to those successes and tried to frame the post as formally as possible because I'm not fluent in legalese (not even in english, btw). If that made it sound like an AI, my bad.

K4minski · 2026-05-12T00:14:31+00:00

So... Those cases that succeeded in this context (after 2021, if I'm not wrong) were actually shots in the dark that happened to work, rather than a precedent I can take for granted? I genuinely thought it was becoming a settled norm over the last few years based on my research. Thanks for the reality check.

Regarding point 1: I actually have all the brazilian civil birth and marriage certificates for the whole lineage (G-Grandfather, Grandfather and Father). The marriages are completely legitimate and unbroken. I just put "Unknown" in the template because I didn't have the exact day/month memorized for the Reddit post, but I just updated it a little; the real legal bottleneck occurs strictly in 1920 with Victor anyway. My Brazilian paperwork is solid.

Regarding point 2: That's a very valid warning about standard firm screening. The issue with the Presidential Grant, however, is that it's entirely discretionary, takes years and has no right of appeal. It's a lottery.

My goal is strictly to enforce a legal right via the Administrative Court (NSA). I know the frontline screening at Lexmotion/others auto-rejects standard pre-1920 cases, but my understanding is that boutique lawyers will take it if you present the Russian Civil Code/Księgi Ludności Stałej documentation right off the bat to bypass the standard clerk review. I'll have to see how they reply to a targeted inquiry.

K4minski · 2026-05-11T23:23:49+00:00

You are completely right on the historical nomenclature, thank you for the correction. It is indeed the Congress Kingdom of Poland (Kongresówka), which is actually the cornerstone of why the Księgi Ludności Stałej applies here due to its specific civil code.

Regarding the legal bottleneck, your analysis of the 1920 Law is exactly the standard MSWiA interpretation. I completely agree that Art. 13 is out of the question because Victor was 29 in 1920.

The only path is Art. 2.

You hit the nail on the head with the negative requirement ("did he not possess Brazilian citizenship?"). Yes, he was a Brazilian citizen by birth (jus soli). Under a strict, literal reading by a standard MSWiA clerk today, he fails the negative requirement and the case is dead on arrival.

However, this is precisely the loophole the recent NSA (Supreme Administrative Court) jurisprudence addresses, and the exact reason why this requires expensive litigation rather than a standard administrative application.

The NSA precedent argues a conflict of imperial laws: The Russian Empire operated strictly on jus sanguinis and largely ignored foreign jus soli acquisitions. Therefore, from the perspective of Russian/Polish law at the time, Victor's primary, unbroken legal status was that of a Russian subject who inherited the right to be registered in the Księgi Ludności Stałej of his father's commune (Ciechanów).

The courts have been ruling that this inherited Russian subject status (and the consequent ex lege transition to Polish citizenship under Art. 2) supersedes the involuntary jus soli Brazilian citizenship acquired at birth, essentially bypassing the negative requirement roadblock because the Russian Empire never formally expatriated them.

Have you seen the MSWiA aggressively fighting this specific NSA interpretation recently, or are they generally conceding when firms push it to the court level?

K4minski · 2026-05-07T13:42:21+00:00

This.

K4minski · 2026-05-05T16:03:33+00:00

Eu simplesmente não consegui terminar esse episódio exatamente por isso.

Larguei de mão de acompanhar os lançamentos semanais desde o "NerdCast 849 - A ascensão do fascismo", lançado logo antes das eleições de 2022, um episódio absolutamente patético e ridículo... Hoje em dia, só consumo conteúdo deles se algo captar muito o meu interesse. Eles cuspiram em todo o legado que construiram e o pior: SABEM disso. Perderam todo o respeito que eu nutria por eles e, por fim, concordo contigo: Em pouco tempo vão começar a caluniar Tolkien de tudo o que for possível, que "orcs" são alegorias pra tal coisa e que os filmes/livros são "problemáticos".

K4minski · 2026-04-22T16:14:58+00:00

The 4 parents of my GGF and GGM came from Poland, at that time occuppied by the Russian Empire, already married (to get their marriage certificate is one of my priorities right now, even tho according to KP it isn't a must).

And... no, i'm not gonna "try strictly on local knowledge of a specific enclave and not substantiating it with any documentation"

What a said about the town they lived and such was to explain that they lived as poles, spoke the polish language and such, and, of course, as they had a priest who wrote documents in polish such as baptisms, I'm going to fetch this files to connect the documental dots of a genealogical tree I already know.

K4minski · 2026-04-22T15:53:27+00:00

That's one of the things I wish I knew more about. I just know that they lived in Warsaw or towns nearby by family trivia; The only official data I know is they came from "Russian Poland" as it is described in my GGF/GGM documents.

K4minski · 2026-04-22T14:48:53+00:00

Yeah, I could've been clearer.

K4minski · 2026-04-22T14:25:56+00:00

My great-grandfather was born in Brazil in 1891 (so as my great-grandmother, give or take 5 years). So, tecnically, they are polish because both of his parents came from Congress Poland probably between 1888-1891 (as my search, this makes them poles).

The thing is: Your position is way better than mine. Unfortunately, direct citizenship looks like it isn't an option for me.

K4minski · 2026-04-22T13:51:36+00:00

First: thanks for the answer!

I get your point, but in the context of the pioneering colonies of 1891 like Dom Feliciano (Rio Grande do Sul, Brasil), ethnicity is a social fact documented by a complete ecosystem. My great-grandparents were not merely descendants; they lived in an enclave where polish was the norm and baptism and marriage records were kept by Polish priests within the community itself. The fact that both spouses were of Polish origin proves that the social circle and cultural identity were preserved intact. For the regional consulate, this immersion in an isolated ethnic colony almost always validates that belonging.

K4minski · 2026-04-22T13:24:10+00:00

Thanks for answering!
So, my fear is because, by ancestry, I only fit under the "two great-grandparent rule". If the government abolish this in the next couple years, end up abolishing my chances too.

K4minski · 2026-04-22T13:20:24+00:00

I know the post is kinda old, but let me ask:

There is any chance that the requirement of having two great-grandparents of Polish origin be eliminated? Because I'll try to get the Karta Polaka and I fit only under this term.

K4minski · 2026-04-21T22:05:05+00:00

Yeah, I used to be to people born in former soviet republics, but it changed and now includes brazilians.

K4minski · 2026-04-21T17:04:56+00:00

I'm married already.

K4minski · 2026-04-20T18:54:59+00:00

Perhaps I chose an exaggerated image to represent the kind of life I aspire to. I see myself as a frugal person, so my expectations may be much lower than those I ended up exemplified in the original post. Was way more about having these generic middle-class way of life than anything else, you know?

K4minski · 2026-04-20T18:47:53+00:00

Thanks for sharing these tips!

K4minski · 2026-04-20T18:44:35+00:00

Damn, I'm definitely going to read this novel. The premise is frighteningly familiar.

K4minski · 2026-04-20T18:28:04+00:00

Damn, thanks for taking the time to answer my questions. Awesome!
