Catalan Vote Inspires Brazil’s Southern Separatist Movement
>Inspired by the separatist vote in Catalonia, secessionists in three wealthy southern Brazilian states are redoubling their efforts to break away from the crisis-battered nation.
>Residents of Rio Grande do Sul, Santa Catarina and Parana states are being called to vote in an informal plebiscite on Oct. 7 on whether they want independence. Organizers are also urging residents of the three states to sign a legislative proposal for each of their regional assemblies that would call for a formal, binding referendum. The non-profit group "The South is My Country" aims to mobilize a million voters in 900 out of the region’s 1,191 cities.
>Whiter and richer than the rest of Brazil, these southern states with cooler weather have long nursed separatist ambitions. Rio Grande do Sul even briefly claimed independence 180 years ago. Few Brazilians expect the current movement to succeed any time soon, not least because it is prohibited by the Constitution. But the country’s deepest recession on record and a massive corruption scandal have exacerbated the region’s longstanding resentment towards the federal government in Brasilia. With just one year to go until general elections, the rekindling of separatist sentiment in the south is another indicator of the unsettled state of Brazilian politics.
>Celso Deucher, the leader of The South is My Country, says the region contributes four times as much tax as it receives and suffers from a below-average level of political representation. He argues that such an unjust situation outweighs any legal concerns.
Unlike the Spanish state Brazil doesn't have any firepower whatsoever to stop it. Hell, even when a group of drug dealers decide to stop the biggest city in Latin America they simply go and fucking do it. Espírito Santo even went full anarchy mode some months ago with the army roaming the streets scared shitless of the druglords. Brazil is on its weakest and it's the perfect moment to call for independence.
Even if they mobilize the army it's going to be the perfect moment for the druglords to mobilize THEIR armies into the cities of Brazil and cause as much havoc as never before seen. Brazil isn't going to be the same either way, it's just too weak.

>Brasil, give us independence or death >U WOOOOT? IT'S UNCONSTITUTIONAL!!
Why are colonies so fucking pathetic? Same bullshit with India. Years complaining about British tyranny and then make it illegal to even advocate publicly for secession.
Ethan Hughes
spread this shit, the cunts in charge of "O sul é o meu país" are so fucking bad a this, its almost like (((controled opposition))). They have 0 social media activity, no propaganda, no memes, nothing.

Brody Robinson
I'll support every right wing movement and help build your society, but sorry, I'm not self-less enough to throw away the life I've made here. Pretty comfy.
Benjamin Davis
you could start by asking your congressman to push a law who lets more people from countries like mine into yours with the condition of going to the USA to study science and engineering only and then come back as soon as they finish
Leo Jones
Nigger, please...

Gaitán was killed by his own companions for standing up against the Narcos fucking our country up, he's our Kennedy. Let that alone, if it wasn't for the ramifications that the corruption of Colombia had, Farc wouldn't exist and we would unironically be the equivalent to the "India super power" meme in Latin America.
Jordan White
based
Elijah Williams
Is there actually a viable secessionist movement in the South or is Sup Forums memeing?
Adam Hall
>narcos in 1949 no besides, he wasn't our Kennedy... he was a populist lawyer, a soft LARPer of Mussolini.
The greatest politicians our country has had were the ones from the conservative hegemony and from there things went downhill: Communist ideas and collectivist ideas permeated the ignorant pleb who in most of cases were followers of the liberal party, the very same party who's ruling this fucking country nowadays.
Brandon Murphy
I remember hearing about this years ago on Sup Forums, nice to see it developing.
Kevin Reed
>Blame Obama for letting the world fall apart. >World actually falls apart because of the US dotard. >Makes Carter look like Reagan.
Fucking kek you can't make this shit up. Cucked 10,000% and climbing daily.
You'll be sucking on Pelosi's womanly dong this time a year and a half from now too.
Dominic Perez
I feel your sincerity but, to me, Gaitán was a mistake. He sparked the flame of subversion in our country and when commies found it out, they just seized it where he dropped it
Robert Wright
A worst meme is putting fucking no ones and only writers and artists in our new billetes. Who the fuck is that fat woman in the 2000 pesos bill? I had to look it up, she just made poetry and was famous in the national scene. The only acceptable one was Marquez and he is in the rarest one. Why the fuck would you carry 100.000 with you.
Nolan Johnson
they did try it before, but it was crushed militarily they are the most developed part of Brasil, so I guess the question is more "is brasil viable without the south"
Austin Nguyen
>A worst meme is putting fucking no ones and only writers and artists in our new billetes. have you noticed that ALL OF THOSE bastards were from the liberal party, the very same party of Gaitán, the FARC founders and the nowadays ruling party? The woman was a feminist painter
Henry Mitchell
I live in Blumenau, one of the most german cities outside Europe, and the movement is kinda weak here. But the european culture is very strong.
Logan Morris
Thanks. This might help answer your question.
Tyler Gonzalez
>A soft larper of Mussolini. I don't see what is wrong about that. >Narcos in 1949 The foundation of our country was upon drug exportation and soul for massive plantation, (what is la masacre de las bananeras). Gaitán could have stopped the root of corruption before it expanded upon every single politician, but the commies dispatched him.
Jack White
Dude almost no one support this
Lucas Nelson
I love it when they perro caca
Joseph Lopez
You do realize those graphs are highly skewed considering how much money we lose to Brazil aye? The main goal of socialism is to equalize poverty, and Brazil has been doing a great job at that.
Leo Sullivan
Is the same that happened to liberal old parties in the USA. They where mostly acceptable and good (Kennedy) new liberals are pseudo commies half of the time.
William Ward
What a waste.
Brayden Gonzalez
No, you're not right drug exportation from Colombia started in the 1970s, Colombia was founded in the 1810s. Drug exportation started in places historically out of reach of Bogotá but near from the Caribbean.
Massive plantations happened everywhere back in the 1920's, only that commies have managed to infiltrate the unions of plantation labourers, who started getting pesky, and guess what, it was Jorge Eliécer Gaitán who denounced more vigorously than anyone else how those would-be-bandits were dispatched. To me, he played a huge part on the foundation of guerrilla groups. Nowadays lefties here have Gaitán as a poster child while also praising the deals that the actual government is brokering with the drug-trafficking marxist guerrillas.
Ethan Morris
I'm not pretending to be an authority regarding to political science, but american liberals were different from most of latin american liberals... If I'm correct, latin american liberals were more prone to take from the french liberalism than from the british liberalism (sad thing)
Angel Price
I'm from Blumenau too. Fucking oktoberfest bringing those fucking tourists here to shit on our city.
FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF

Which revolt? Federalist Riograndense Revolution ? I'm not Brazilian.
Jaxon Perry
Rio Grande do Sul and Santa Catarina had countless wars for secession against Brazil (one of which resulted in Uruguay) and various previous conflicts against Portugal and Spain back when Rio Grande do Sul and Uruguay were one of the same named Banda Oriental.
Brandon Gutierrez
Guerra dos Farrapos
Henry Ortiz
Richer? I'm guessing you don't know that 2 of these 3 states is millions in debt with the union, and the third is going in that direction. The actual rich states like São Paulo and Mato Grosso are paying for their well being. The only reason they have such low crime and high HDI is because a big part of the population lives in farms. That's also happens in Mato Grosso. South separatism is dumb and only supported by those that don't understand the national integration of Brazil
Hunter Foster
Thanks.
Benjamin Ross
19th. c South American wars are so strange
Practically nobody outside of the continent knows anything about them

Tell me why you believe Brasil will sort things out as an unified state again, please. What is your plan?
Owen Gray
It won't But if they break up México will invade so...
Henry Jenkins
There's nothing in their constitution that allows for secession, the south are all commies.
Brazilia did nothing wrong, muh king, reeeeeee

It was only a matter of time.
Ethan Green
São Paulo is the Catalonia of Brazil tho
Alexander Bell
>Few Brazilians expect the current movement to succeed any time soon, not least because it is prohibited by the Constitution. What does this actually matter for? The whole point of wanting independence is to get away from the government forcing you to stay in. Abiding by 'muh constitution says you cant leave us' means nothing to these kinds of people.
Gavin Jenkins
literally no one supports this
Gabriel Torres
Best part about it is the Jew cities Sau Paulo and Rio would stay on the northern half
More than 80% of Brazilian Jews live in rio or sau Paulo
Mason Morgan
That's right it's full of Jews

South Brazil here. Ppl having been talking on getting severing relations with Brazil for years now. SInce I was a kid to be honest.
Still, I would rather wait to see if Bolsonaro wins the election. If not, them those cearenses can get fucked with their socialism.
Charles Baker
I fucking hate these hippies that cry "muh heritage" but use indio as an insult, they're in the same page as the obnoxious retards who says that Porifirio Diaz was based
Robert Young
cearenses will vote Bolsonaro
Xavier Butler
I doubt. Northeast is still with Lula. Every poll shows this.

British colonies sperg too.
Dylan Parker
Northeast of Brazil is the poorest part of the country and also the most leftists because they get tax money from the other states though gibs.
Southern states are more right wing because they are richer but get screwed by the federal gov by "contricuting more with the development of the north part bu giving more money" so we are always in debt.
Rest of the coutry is somewhat 50/50 depending on the area.
Bolsonaro is a right wing dude that has no fear of say what he thingks and the midia likes to portray him as a racist, homophobic. etc.
BUt he is getting big on the polls despise little midia time.
He just dont do well in the north for obvious reasons.
Elijah Morgan

"O Sul é meu País" is growing. But some conservatives and leftists are trying to end the movement passively.
Brayden Flores
Gotta understand that the guy who made brazil Independent was portugal's prince so he was just giving money to his own family.

The south separatist movement has been going on for years without a hint of success because the leadership is retarded
