Fascism: only over my dead body.

The dizzying growth of religious sects of all kinds, with their colossal pastoral merchandising, contributes immeasurably to the concurrent rise of neofascism in the world. What the philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche (1844-1900) denounced in his vast work seems to have had no effect on a large part of civilization. On the contrary, a dangerous narrowing of the gap between the men of Earth and the metaphysical kingdom of heaven is increasingly observed: "everything is written in the Bible," interpreted according to the most diverse perverse minds (most of the time) of their pastors/priests/healers/caretakers/ministers/caliphs... in their mercantile missions offering passports to the eternal and happy afterlife, deliriously bought (reciprocally, also most of the time) by an empty and lost flock on and above the earthly soil.

Not even the famous '95 theses' of the German theology professor and Augustinian monk, Martin Luther (1483-1546), a central figure in the Protestant Reformation, which arose against several dogmas of Roman Catholicism at the time, especially the doctrine that forgiveness and the glory of God could be acquired through the sale of indulgences (tithes, offerings, gifts...), was able to curb the modus operandi of the new bourgeois order that was rising with post-feudalism, obviously resulting in his excommunication from the Roman Church.

Not counting the dialectical materialism of Karl Marx (1818-1883) or the psychoanalysis of the Austrian Sigmund Freud (1856-1939), which could not stop the murky and insistent dawn of Socrates (399 BC), nor the mythical Hegelian owl of Minerva that did not fly, forever imprisoned in the nocturnal hut of the absolute spirit.

From all this, it is clear that man has never believed in himself or in the world he inhabits. In the spectrum of his imaginary mirror and in the refraction of the light of consciousness, this being never ceases to choose and worship idols: of gold, of clay, of flesh, of weapons... Contradictorily, beyond the heavens, he also invests in carnal spokespeople in his own likeness: "the men of God here on Earth".

Anyone who doesn't belong to this group will surely be excommunicated from their temples, churches, and mentalities, à la Luther, thus foreshadowing a possible and imminent outbreak of furious battles with the aroma of burnt blood, sulfur, and incense.

In the name of God, one kills! Indeed, this was the maxim of the Medieval Inquisition up to the recent Islamic State (ISIS): destruction of the enemy (the chosen Other) in the name of Allah and the glorious, delusional eternal life, however, without any guarantee, although it is permitted to hallucinate/delusion.

Gradually and vigorously, this discourse and the truculent religious modus vivendi are infiltrating Brazilian politics, decimating the secular nature of the State and democratic freedom, as well as art, culture, and education, bathed and disguised as representatives of order and the Brazilian family, under sinuous opportunistic pseudo-moralisms, the new (but always retrograde) right wing, a crazy, resentful force that rejects life, itself, and otherness (difference).

This nefarious symbiotic fusion in which the Brazilian far-right is built, with worthless, despicable characters like Kim Patrocínio Kataguiri (now also an art critic) and his sinister MBL (Free Brazil Movement); the porn actor and renowned sociologist-educator Alexandre Frota; the credit card machine pastor Marco Feliciano and the laughable Americanized macho Jair Bolsonaro, both financed by capitalist merchants and supported by an irresponsibly nihilistic, resentful, self-destructive, and 'impulsively' deadly and immoral middle class.
Evidently, this humble and unknown writer who is now writing this short text has no intention whatsoever of trying to change immutable minds; the high-caliber historical figures already mentioned above have failed to sufficiently clarify this anti-civilizational imbroglio across different times and cultures.
However, I cannot tacitly watch the dismantling and total destruction of the Homeland and the Land that also belong to me and my son.
Therefore, for now, let's name the monstrous executioners of our Civilization.
They want to return to the horde, to the evildoers. Not me!
Nevertheless, they will have to step over several corpses, including mine....
It may seem easy, but it won't be!
There are still many enlightened and supportive democratic Brazilians!!!
