I mean, can you believe this? He's trying to reduce a 27-year sentence by reading books, like that's gonna fly . I get it, Brazil's penal code is weird, but come on! He didn't even finish high school and now he's all about the reads? This whole thing just feels like some kinda joke, especially considering the topics he needs to read... Indigenous rights, racism, environmental issues... that's not exactly his cup of tea οΈ. I mean, what's next? Reading books by Toni Morrison or something?
I'm so confused by this . I mean, what's next? Giving politicians a chance to reduce their sentence just for watching Netflix? lololol. In all seriousness though, I do think it's kinda cool that Bolsonaro gets to read some books that might actually make him think about his past actions... or maybe not . I'm still trying to wrap my head around the fact that he was even given a book list to choose from in the first place. It's like, isn't this just giving him more time to spread his far-right ideology instead of reflecting on his mistakes?
But hey, who am I to judge? Maybe reading about Indigenous rights will actually change Bolsonaro's mind (or maybe he'll just pretend to care for the cameras). One thing's for sure though - I'd love to see him tackle some heavy books like "Democracy!" and really get his head around what that means . Until then, I'll be over here rooting for justice to prevail .
this is crazy, right? i mean, bolsonaro's all about being tough but now he's like "oh yeah, i'll just read some books and get outta here" it's like, dude, you're trying to reduce your sentence by 27 years and you're not even pretending to care about the content? and those books on his list are super heavy stuff β indigenous rights, racism, environmental issues... talk about a wake-up call especially with all the history he's tied to
"The truth is rarely pure and never simple" β Oscar Wilde Bolsonaro's attempt to reduce his sentence by reading books seems like a desperate last-ditch effort to avoid accountability for his actions. It's interesting to see how he'll fare in this unusual program, especially considering the sensitive topics on the approved reading list. Only time will tell if he'll be able to digest the material and earn some time off his sentence.
the irony isn't lost on me that someone as polarising as bolsonaro is trying to reduce their sentence by reading books ...i mean, isn't it a bit too little, too late? and what does it really say about our society when we see politicians engaging in a scheme like this? it's almost like they're trying to prove themselves virtuous through a act of self-imposed discipline? meanwhile, the rest of us are still grappling with the consequences of their actions...anyway, it'll be interesting to see how this all plays out
this is wild man I mean, who tries to reduce their 27-year prison sentence by reading books? it's like they're trying to prove they can actually change their ways or something . but for real though, Bolsonaro's case highlights how some people just don't wanna take responsibility for their actions and instead try to find loopholes . I'm all for people making amends and learning from their mistakes, but not when it comes at the expense of justice . it's gonna be interesting to see how this plays out in court
