I read with great interest a global survey by the Ipsos Institute, which shows that Brazilians “admire the United States more than Americans do themselves”, with Brazil ranking the top of the list of countries with a positive assessment of the economy, life and even the US Army leads. Respondents have probably never been to North America, a racist, bellicose country reluctant to have Latinos, with the exception of the nouveau riche, in attendance. It is the worst place to visit or live.
Of course, there’s also the American Dream fantasy of getting rich by selling hamburgers in Miami or babysitting in a house in Florida. But today that is more of a big nightmare than a real dream.
Brazilian is “nice”. Treat yourself to a discount for those who dream about this nightmare of living in the USA and getting rich.
Another very interesting survey was recently conducted by the Idea Institute. This is good because it replaces the mirrors.
The Institute surveyed 663 men aged 18 and over: “What do Brazilian men think?” Sorry for the criticism, but according to the answers given, the question was badly asked.
According to the institute, respondents consistently gave the same answer: 47% said they thought they were beautiful (the answer differs from the question). Just 3% said they thought of themselves as ugly, with a further 47% saying they thought of themselves as “kinda”.
Nobody wants to be ugly anyway. I come from a time when kids, when angry with an adult, didn’t call them “son of a zone mom.” They said, “feioooo.” An insult…
Now we know it’s beautiful. So much so that we display our photos on WhatsApp and Instagram profiles. So much so that we ditched the mirrors…
