Daniel Cara: The global far right is learning from the Brazilian case.
"Today, the Culture War is waged more competently in Brazil than in the US and Europe," says the USP professor.
247 - In an interview with TV 247, USP professor Daniel Cara commented on the new global trend of the far right importing Brazilian "technology and mobilization strategies."
The comment came when Daniel was questioned about a new agenda of the Brazilian right, which consists of founding new schools to "escape" the conventional educational system: "Initially, these movements of 'School Without Parties,' homeschooling, even the civic-military schools, were proposals that had a lot of support in the US. They brought them here. But what is happening now is that we are the ones sending mobilization technology there, the technology of societal tension, the Culture War. Today, the Culture War is waged more competently in Brazil than in the US. The ideological leadership is there, but it has advanced more here, and now Brazil is teaching the rest of the world."
"I'll say it even more emphatically: the global far-right is learning from the Brazilian case. The far-right in Europe mobilizes in a very similar way to Bolsonaro. Of course, they aren't as crude as Bolsonaro, but it's the same strategy of speech, of punctuation, the 'barbecue uncle' image that Bolsonaro uses, they use too, the idea of the simple man. What's interesting to observe is that, in relation to the Cultural War over education, Brazil is issuing mobilization strategies; the content of the curriculum policy, etc., comes from abroad, but the strategies of mobilization, tension, and stress on democracy via educational disputes originate from here," concluded the professor.
