Milei received the controversial medal of the “Bolsonaro Club”. What do the 3 i’s mean and why are they criticized?

Other people who have received the medal includes Donald Trump and Viktor Orbán, among other prominent right-wing leaders.

In his brief visit to Brazil, President Javier Milei was inducted to the exclusive “Bolsonaro Club”, a distinction created by former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro for his closest ideological allies.

During the induction ceremony, Milei received the “medal of the three i's”, a significant symbol within the Bolsonaro circle, with homophobic and sexist overtones. When asked about the meaning of the three i's, the Argentine president was informed by Eduardo Bolsonaro, Jair's son, of their connotations.

The first “í” stands for “imorrível” (immortal), highlighting Jair Bolsonaro's survival after the attack suffered during his presidential campaign. “They stabbed him and he is still alive,” Eduardo emphasized.

The second “í” is “imbrochável”, a word without exact translation into Spanish, which, according to Bolsonaro Jr., alludes to male virility during sexual intercourse, provoking laughter and a jocular apology to Karina Milei for the explanation.

The last “í” is “incomível” (incompatible), which the Bolsonaro family uses to indicate that they have never had sex nor romantic relationships with men.

However, the awarding of this medal was not without controversy, as it was criticized by some who consider it homophobic. On social media, there was both support and rejection of Milei's visit to Camboriú, where he met Jair Bolsonaro, highlighting the polarized opinions regarding this event and its political implications.

Translation for the gringos.

"Imorrível" is a purposefully wrong way to say "immortal". The correct word is just "imortal", but "imorrível" makes it sound more like "unable to die/be killed" than "doesn't die" and also sounds funnier in portuguese. Some fucko botched a stab 8 years ago and he's still riding that high.

"Brochar" is a verb for when a man loses their erection during sex. So "Imbrochável" would be somebody to which that is impossible to happen. I don't recall the context, but a while back Lula and Bolsonaro had some weird electoral exchanges calling each other "Brocha" (man who does the "brochar" thing a lot), and at some point some of his base started using "imbrochável" to describe him (and the opposition used it to mock him). You can probably imagine the toxic masculity connotations.

"Incomível" is somthing like "unable to be eaten". "Comer" or eating somebody is an euphemism/slang for having penetrative sex with somebody as the active person, with all the homophobia and misogyny that that entails. So loosely it means "unable to be fucked", but keep in mind that it doesn't proscribe being the one in the active side of the relationship, which is a common theme in homophobic discourse. The "Incompatible" translation on OP is just incorrect.

Funny meme, dude is still a fugitive from his own country. Hopefully Milei will follow suit soon.

My "Never had sex with a man" medal has people asking a lot of questions already answered by my medal

God dammit you beat me to it

"What up! We're three cool i's looking for other cool i's who want to hang out in our party mansion! Nothing sexual"

Immortality, male virility, not having sex with men

Can these fascist clowns, even within their own ideology, stop being so fucking clownish?

[–] Redcuban1959@hexbear.net 22 points 1 day ago (1 children)

He said this days before the election, and then he lost. Recently a supreme court judge (who all hate Bolsonaro) repeated a similar phrase to mock Bolsonaro.

Actually it wasn't Moraes lol. It was another conservative judge, one that Bolsonaro hates because he said to him. "You guys lost, dumbass/loser, go bother someone else."

[–] UlyssesT@hexbear.net 16 points 1 day ago

I kind of assumed it wasn't Moraes directly, though I had that reaction face ready to go as a sort of Brazil-specific sicko-yes face.

really not beating the "he has sex with his sister" allegations.

The energy in that room is so awful. It looks like there is not a single person there capable of having or being fun. There is not one genuine creative spark or novel perspective among the lot of them. Utterly lifeless joyless crowd. It's the energy of a bunch of deadbeat divorcees in a smoke filled cigar bar they spend every night at harassing the waitress and making gross jokes that only they laugh at, and not even because they're funny, but because they know other people are grossed out by it and take a weird joy out of the "rebelliousness" of having this social "power" of making others uncomfortable.

Also Milei looks more and more shit every time I see him. He looks like he's aged 15 years in 2. What are these people even doing with all their plundered wealth?

Kind of standard fascist energy. Ever see those old pre-WW2 photos of Italian and German leadership-caste fascists? Very similar sort of miserable fucks that wanted to make the world suffer and die around them.

but because they know other people are grossed out by it and take a weird joy out of the "rebelliousness" of having this social "power" of making others uncomfortable.

That's the part that trickles down to the masses, and it happens in the US too: "MAGA" is driven by spite as its primary motivator.

Again? I post about this months ago when Milei visited Brazil but didn't talk with Lula.

Iirc, Basically, he said it's "unkillable, unfuckable and that he never has erectile dysfunction, literally (I don't know how to translate that into English)" same guy who said he fucked animals on live TV, besides some pedo shit he said days before the 2022 elections.

How long vefore Milei gets hospitalized with some obscure condition.

If we are luck, the ghost of Peron will possess him and throw him out of the building.

[–] GrouchyGrouse@hexbear.net 12 points 1 day ago

I'd settle for the ghost of one of his dogs possessing him and chasing traffic
