I am gratefully
for what happened during this time I was here in Brazil. I went through several
questions and get to know several ways of thinking.
First, I
started to love my EE and then I started to hang out with some boys who showed
a new perspective of politics and so one.
I was very
annoyed by religious perspective of forbidding things as abortion and gay
marriage and all that stuff which goes against the traditional values I was
raised. Then I had the impression the conservatives were the most unfair and
selfish people the earth could ever had, trying just to impose their
perspectives to the world.
I was hunger
to clarify things and see the truth about their perspectives. So then, I create
a Facebook group called ''biblical and social debates''. Moreover, started to
point out very controversial points, and as they answered I discovered new
things they hate. I was all the time provoking them to talk. I really want to hear
something that could convince me. Until once a person, called Junior was an ashore
with me and I was so angry. He was a super-intellectual and he in other worlds
said I was a ''papagayo'' I did even know the ideology was behind the things I
was defeating.
In
addition, I was humiliated in front of people I knew in that group and people I
never saw in my life.
I was angry
with him, I confess, but he was absolutely right. I was too dumb to be on that
discussion. Then I come back to the group and had to be intellectually honest
and tell the truth to people. I did not know anything about Marxism, leftism
and so one and I was a set of fallacies I have heard on my whole live and I was
pretty hunger for learn more and for know more about political different points
of view and I wanted to know what was behind the conservatives ideology.
I had
countless prejudices about everything rightwing.
I learned
all my schoolbooks in Brazil was done for a woman who put all the Marxist
theory on the them- called Marilena Chauí- that will of course be fixed on the heads of students. So
then is natural if you have a different perspective about things you will be labeled
as a terrible person because of that. I was pretty disappointed with our system
of education. With the indoctrination, not with the Marxism. I think it was unfair with us to show just one perspective. Because I was unfairly following
something someone, choose for me until I realize there is another way to see
things. In addition, I started with that not because I wanted to be convinced
but because I want to make sure I had destroyed all the possibilities to follow
rightwing and keep in my leftist was of think.
I started
to heard about a guy called Mises. I have heard thousands of time about Marx, but
about him... My intellectual circle just hid him from me all this time. I was
so pest off about it.
Names as
''free market'' become more natural for me.
I had chosen
my EE on Theatre of the Oppressed and I started to discover an ideology behind
it too. I had chosen innocently because I tough honestly all the ideology was
just so pretty. I was very excited when I started, but I confess, later on, I
started to be less satisfied while I was herding the point of view of the other
side.
I was
interested on MST (I am actually interested!)
I realize
economics is SUPER important to understand politics. (I know it is obvious, but
I never had realized that so concretely. They are absolutely connected)
I have a
list of books I would like desperately to read all of it.
Yesterday I
realized I never had read any law project of any Deputed (political function)
to take my own judgments on him. I just tacked in account what the media told
me.
Another
thing: the media is a whore (whores, I am sorry, that’s disrespectful call you
like that, sorry). Very partial. Never trust them. Never ever, put your hands
on fire for media.
My summer
as you can read was controversial. I cannot take a conclusion of what I follow politically.
However, I want to. I am engage to learn more, to read more, to watch more. I
am full of contradictions and full of questions. I am so extremely grateful for
everything I have learned here.
I am even
considering to become an economist ^_^
Let us see.
Well, I
think was pretty much that. :)
Beloved
Germany, see you soon.
