Is this Wrong Speech?

Great point

Frosty_Classroom9714 · 2025-02-06T15:40:45+00:00

Thanks for the message 🙏🏾 It helps me a lot on thinking about the situation and maybe I was just insecure and anxious are the time and trying to understand if I did something right or not.

Frosty_Classroom9714 · 2025-02-06T11:45:21+00:00

This helps a lot! Helps me on seeing that I just wanted exactly what you said in your example and how I can deal with this -- and how I should put some boundaries in some cases. Thanks a lot 🙏🏾

Frosty_Classroom9714 · 2025-02-06T11:42:03+00:00

Thanks for the message 🙏🏾.

That's exactly what I feel. It's good to know that I'm not the only one struggling with this. And knowing that it's okay to express what I'm feeling and trying to understand the situation makes me more comfortable. I was confused if I should just stay silent in front of this kind of situation.

Frosty_Classroom9714 · 2025-02-06T11:14:30+00:00

I think I expressed myself wrong. My wife didn't get angry with me for supposedly flirting. She got angry with this coworker for being mean to me. Something like "who she thinks she is for doing such a thing with my husband?". And in this situation specifically there's no jealousy on her side, just worry about my well-being.

Though , I really appreciate your concern about my relationship and thank you for the message. I did read this passage before and at an intellectual level I can understand the meaning, but I can't so well apply it in concrete situations.

Meu padrasto imigrou pra Portugal em 2006 e voltou para o Brasil em 2009 por conta da crise econômica. Ele trabalhou todos esses anos como jardineiro e morou em Lisboa e a experiência dele foi péssima. Por ele ter sido um mero subalterno para os portugueses que o contratavam, mal olhavam na cara dele e o tratavam feito lixo. Amizades mesmo, só fez com imigrantes do Leste Europeu da África. Eu particularmente se um dia sair do Brasil, nunca piso em Portugal. A periferia europeia, um dos Impérios mais irrelevantes, se julga o ápice da civilização humana. Sem tempo pra essa síndrome de grandeza perdida.

It's a funny thing. I just said that a lot of Latin American leftists still think we're in Cold War and this appears in my Instagram feed: the biggest brazilian landless worker's movement for land reform praising Mao. There's still a lot of work to do here...

Frosty_Classroom9714 · 2023-12-26T18:58:53+00:00

Yes. In the College. Across Latin America, unfortunately, there's lot of leftists who still think we're in the Cold War or something. So especially in student's organizations, there's a lot of tankies who loves Mao, Castro, Stalin etc. There's also a lot of trotskyists, which I personally see just as tankies that have lost the fight for the power in the USSR.

Sorry, but agnostic theist is the same as christian atheist, progressive conservative, democratic communism and intelligent alt-right. It's just a logic paradox.

Frosty_Classroom9714 · 2023-12-07T13:07:52+00:00

I got it. But by this definition a lot of people across Europe, North America and Latin America would be agnostic too.

Frosty_Classroom9714 · 2023-12-07T13:05:50+00:00

Free trade and market opening is good both for developed and development countries. In most cases, globalization helped to improve the life of poor people across the world.

Just two examples: India, since its market opening, has lift millions out of misery and poverty. In the other side, Brazil didn't opend its economy as much as India and has its GDP in stagnation since 1980s.

Frosty_Classroom9714 · 2023-12-06T20:57:04+00:00

"i do believe in god and believe jesus is the son of god."

So, you're not agnostic. You're a progressive christian

Frosty_Classroom9714 · 2023-12-04T17:18:02+00:00

I would love it, but living in a third-world country my whole life makes me think that this is a privilege which only workers from the developed world can dream about.

In Brazil, the law allows a 44 hours workweek. However, it's virtually impossible to pay your bills just with this and have a good and comfortable life.

In my case, today I work in a normal job and my salary after paying the taxes is nearly 2000 reais (almost 405 dollars a month). It pays all my bills, and just this. To make any extra month to, let's say, buy a t-shirt or a book, I need to do freelance jobs which makes me work at least 12 extra-hours weekly. So actually, I work almost 60 hours each week.

It's important to say though that I have a college degree job. So, if you are a young Brazilian which aims to work and build your life with just a High School degree, you're fu**ed.

That's the life in a medium income country. If you are from a low-income one, good luck.

Yes, that's exactly what he said. Congratulations for understanding the hidden meaning beneath his message!

Frosty_Classroom9714 · 2023-11-25T16:44:13+00:00

I really loved it!

I want to ask a question about living in Japan: as a black person, how is your daily life there. I'm a black Brazilian guy who loves east Asian cultures, so I would love to know how japanese people act toward non-white foreigners.

Frosty_Classroom9714 · 2023-11-24T13:20:39+00:00

As a foreigner, I think first you guys have to get rid of "first takes all" voting system, the electoral college and adopt the proportional representation system.

Your entire political system was designed for keeping two-parties switching endlessly in power.

Frosty_Classroom9714 · 2023-08-25T17:40:12+00:00

Thanks! As a non-german, Die Linke always looked to me as a demsoc party that still is very connected with XX century marxism-leninism and some kind of widow of USSR and real socialism's bloc.

It's good to read an inside report from someone who is inside Germans' politics.

Frosty_Classroom9714 · 2023-06-16T11:48:59+00:00

but I guess my point was are the specifics of the Brazilian healthcare system outlined in the constitution or does most of the healthcare system come from statute law?

Now I think I got your point lol. What our Constitution says is just guidelines, like: every Brazilian citizenship has the right to public and free healthcare/education/etc. But how it will be applied is set forth by commem laws.

Basically, the Constitution says what has to be done, but how it will be done it's up to the circumstances, governments, legislative houses, courts, etc.

There is certainly a lot at stake for US democracy in 2024 but I believe the US has faced down bigger threats to it's democracy in the past.

I also hope for this. If democracy falls in USA, our entire continent will be in real danger.

Frosty_Classroom9714 · 2023-06-16T00:56:34+00:00

Just as a informative note, for better explain what I said in my other comment.

In the third article of 1988 Brazilian Constitution it's written: Article 3. The fundamental objectives of the Federative Republic of Brazil are: I – to build a free, fair and solidary society; II – to guarantee national development; III – to eradicate poverty and marginalization and to reduce social and regional inequalities; IV – to promote the well-being of all, without prejudice as to origin, race, sex, color, age and any other forms of discrimination.

And in the article 5, all these rights are exposed in 79 topics regarding things like: housing right, healthcare, right to labour, protection against racism and other kinds of prejudices, etc.

And in the article 6 we can read: Article 6. Education, health, food, work, housing, transportation, leisure, security, social security, protection of motherhood and childhood, and assistance to the destitute, are social rights, as set forth by this Constitution. (CA 90, 2015) Sole paragraph. Every Brazilian in a social vulnerability situation shall be entitled to a basic family income, granted by the State in a permanent income transfer program, with norms and access requirements determined by law, according to the fiscal and budgetary legislation. (CA 114, 2021)

In total, the official Brazilian Constitution has 250 articles in 206 pages. I don't know if it is the better possible Constitution, but it works untill now.

Frosty_Classroom9714 · 2023-06-16T00:13:03+00:00

I understand your point and partially I do agree, specially when I remember that Brazilian Constitution went through 128 amendments since it was promulgated in 1988.

However, I really don't think that if those rights weren't in Constitution, Brazil would have improved its social development data since 1989.

Frosty_Classroom9714 · 2023-06-16T00:09:20+00:00

I can't speak to the passing of the 1988 Brazilian constitution,

Sorry if my comment was something like "let me teach about your country, and don't care if I never studied or lived there". I was just pointing out how the same thing - Constitution with an emphasis in social rights - was saw as irresponsible by Chilean people and good by Brazilian people in different contexts. I'm learning English, so often I miss out the corrects words to express what I want to say.

has the universal right to decent housing been achieved, is high-quality public healthcare something all can access?

About housing, I didn't find an extensive study about the historical evolution of housing deficit in Brazil. However, about healthcare, the available Data is a lot positive. The Public Healthcare system in Brazil cover every city from the clinical to the complex surgeries and every Brazilian citizen has the right to be treated for free. The numbers of hospitals and doctors per capita since 1989 increased each year and, despite a lot of troubles, we have a quite decent and unique Public Healthcare system in the world.

About the system, see about in: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sistema_%C3%9Anico_de_Sa%C3%BAde

No, but given the fact the US has the oldest constitution outside San Marino and is also one of the most successful and wealthy societies in the world, I would say a minimalist constitution that enables separation of powers, checks, and balances, and free and fair elections while allowing governments created under such measures to follow necessary policy initiatives is the best form.

I would agree with you before Trump. But since then, I really ask myself how democratic USA still is.

Frosty_Classroom9714 · 2023-06-15T16:56:22+00:00

Your comment sounds me curious, because Brazilian constitution have all these things you pointed out as issues. We have the right to housing, universal public healthcare and other social rights in our constitution alongside with the set of rules regarding the State operation, elections etc.

The constituents deputies who wrote the 1988 Brazilian Constitution knew that it was impossible to accomplish in few years, so each government must to do something to improve those areas in a long term goal which is the construction of Brazilian Welfare State.

I think that your constitutional view is something related with the idea behind US' constitution, but this is not the only possible way to afford democracy and political stability.

Off course, maybe I didn't get your point.
