Fernando Haddad and the return to civilization
Fernando Haddad possesses the civilizing tools of philosophy in his refined discourse, thus enabling him to defuse these potentially explosive mines. He can disarm fallacies, he has the ability to expose the questions from the wrong perspective, revealing the disguises and intrigues of ill-intentioned journalists.
I met Fernando Haddad in 2004, when he came to Salvador, Bahia, to give a lecture at the UFBA rectorate. At the end of the conference, I approached him to ask him some questions, and he answered me with kindness and sincere attention.
When Janaína Paschoal began her frenetic dance, her furious agitation, she opened Pandora's box. That's when I completely lost hope that Brazil would ever return to civilization.
From Janaína's Pandora's box emerged archaic figures, obsolete stereotypes, such as a Batman judge, a prosecutor dressed as Robin, and a failed porn actor who wanted to fight for Venezuelans to hand over their oil to Trump.
From the lowest strata of history arose the violence of the terrifying slave catcher and the envy of the self-proclaimed sociologist, an academic who only excites the ambitious bankers and the plundering oil companies.
The journalists were hired; in desperation, they took the first dirty money offered to them by foreign loan sharks.
Lula was not only a political genius, but he made Brazilians experience their best moment as a Western civilization. Fernando Haddad bases his arguments on these civilizing values to confront the destructive hysteria that remained after the coup.
The deepest problem in communications is that TV Globo wants to live like a leech off the state; trillions from the Bolsa Família program go to increase the fortunes of media millionaires.
The right-wing political class is largely made up of hired journalists; these journalists are the infantry, the snipers in coups d'état.
Bolsonaro has grown in popularity because, for years, reactionary magazines, newspapers, and hate-promoting TV channels have fed this aversion to the brutalized middle class. This class is unable to distinguish media manipulation.
Now, these same media outlets want to return these people to the PSDB fold. But these people have already left, now they walk like Frankenstein on their own two feet, while Veja (the laboratory where the monsters were invented) crumbles.
Fernando Haddad's work aims to restore Lula's conciliatory spirit to Brazilians, that is, to return to the rationality of civilizations.
Fernando Haddad was interviewed by the coup's journalists; he arrived to appease them, to tame them. Because the mother of the Brazilian family already knows that if we continue in this destructive madness, we will end up destroying everything.
We must understand that Brazilian fascism is essentially denationalized; the intolerance of the overseer looks with hatred and contempt upon his compatriots.
The overseer is treated in the big house like an obedient lackey; this traitor to the poor does not dine at the plantation owner's grand table.
Fernando Haddad has to confront these monsters that have emerged from Pandora's box, and to do so he must be a master and possess the diverse knowledge necessary for institutional excellence.
Fernando Haddad possesses the civilizing tools of philosophy in his refined discourse, thus enabling him to defuse these potential explosive mines.
Fernando Haddad can disarm the fallacies; he has the ability to expose the questions, revealing them in reverse, showing the disguises and intrigues of ill-intentioned journalists.
Ricardo Boechat is very good at denigration in his monologues, but alongside Fernando Haddad, his lack of refinement and erudition is revealed. His lack of formal education makes him seem like a stepping stone in Haddad's career.
