Uh, Actually I'm pretty far from whatever stereotype you're referring to. Just to clarify things: I happen to live in Brazil. Have you ever visited Brazil? Have ever Lived in Brazil? So by all means, don't think I'm just trying to sound intellectual for expressing my frustration.

Plus I'm not even complaining about these two groups, I'm complaining about ambivalence

(reply from suspended user)

Well, if wish for me to elaborate: bureaucracy is pretty hard to deal anywhere in the world, but Brazil seems to to be compelled in abusing it, not even necessarily governamental in nature; everything takes too long to be done and sometimes things that could otherwise be solved simply are made complicated for.... Whatever reason. One example I can think of from the back of my head would be what happened with my mother recently. See, she works at a supermarket as a cashier, and they allowed people at the queue to pay their bills (I'm not sure if that's the correct translation) along with their grocery. That is, until the manager decided to change it so now people will have to go to the queue (the very long queues, note) twice if they want to do so, and when questioned why they couldn't keep doing all the paying in one sitting. They answered it would "crash the system". Fortunately, my mom knew better than that and went "fuck it", and would allow people in the queue to pay their bills too. To no one's surprise, there were no system crashing at all.

As for "alienated" people, what I mean is that, unfortunately, Brazil still lives with the effects of the previous military dictatorship, which implanted whatever mechanism they could to incite people to think in anything other than politics or knowledge, so unfortunately a vast majority of the population is content with their condition as long as they can watch soccer and Big Brother on TV and hear Funk on the loudest volume possible (I'm not kidding, don't ever live anywhere near a club-house). I'm not saying everyone who lives here is like that, of course, but it's hard to ignore the ones who are.

And about "anarchists and hippies", I don't hate them, I just don't feel like their way of protest is how things are meant to be done, I don't think the government is inherently bad (when done correctly that is), there must have some kind of order in a society; also, I'm really avert of the idea one needs drugs to free themselves or something. Putting your life on the line shouldn't be the way to solve things, heroic sacrifices aren't pretty and means little if in the end of the day you won't wake up another day to fight.

... wow you sound so naive.

and you sound so vague...

I'm sure I'm heading to disappointment, but care to elaborate more so that I don't jump to the conclusion you're just a troll who gets off by belittling some random anon?

DA

I suspect that they're saying that because that kind of stuff honestly happens everywhere. I live in a place with a completely different environment and there are a ton of people who act exactly the same way, most retail jobs I've worked at have had similar amazingly stupid rules.

The way hippies and anarchists...well. I can't speak for the anarchists since here they don't even make the radar with how little they do, and the hippies haven't had much relevance where I live for a long time. It's not that they don't exist but...well. There aren't enough of them here to do anything. That said, there are always protest groups that do stupid/annoying things.

tl;dr: What you described is something that happens in most countries sadly, which *might* be what the other anon was referring to.

I don't live in Brazil but I live in another South American country and the situation is very similar, so I get what you mean.

I guess some people don't understand how bad it's mostly because they try to relate everything to their own experience and think that because there are some similarities but it isn't as bad, then it means in other countries it also isn't such a big deal and it can't be such a extreme issue.
