I would like to add that it's kinda rare for an United-stasian cartoon to put the Brazilian flag in a "bunch of world flags" scene. Damn, they went that far into putting it in the middle of the screen! That's unusual!

(Mark my words, we will take over the world soon enough /jk)

Why wouldn't you. Already own like 25% of the American continent.

Corruption.

[–] trolololol@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago (1 children)

You know what's funny

I watched a video saying how corruption helps a country grow faster. It's a specific type of corruption though: rich people asking politicians to create laws and make certain things happen.

The bad news is that 99% of people won't benefit. Insert Pikachu face if you will.

I think it was video # 4 of this series https://youtu.be/Bc1lVZ_Bi08?si=d_lmdCDepDjF2cSz

That's such a Kissinger frame of mind.

Order with injustice over justice with chaos (sic).

It would have been even more if the Pope could draw a straight line ...

In the movie Winter Kills (1979) John Huston's character, before plummeting from a skyscraper to his death, he says to Jeff Bridges' character:

You get out of this alive, son-
You get out of this alive.
Take our money out of the western world and put it in South America.
Oh!
Brazil. Ah!
Aah!
Brazil! They're the next ones up!

Also this movie is shockingly good, 10/10 recommend from me won't spoil anything.
