1. Dilma Rousseff on torture
The art of resisting torture lies in the idea, "just one more minute". If you think there are five minutes, or twenty minutes, it will be unbearable. So you have to think "one more minute, two minutes..." brainwash yourself constantly and try to overcome it. Human beings are born with pain, which is pain.
2. Cleaners talk about Rousseff's resignation
If you can clean everything up with a cloth and bucket of water, it's easy. Unfortunately, there is no way to do this, too much dirty stuff. She was elected by the people, and I think holding an election again is the best way. I don't know if the people drove her down, the process is not democratic, nor is it the voters' choice. In fact, democracy does not exist. I don't think democracy exists. Our right to vote, I don't think it exists.
3. Buffett
Class struggle exists, yes. But the rich class I am in, we started the war, and the victory will ultimately belong to us.
4. Lula's speech before imprisonment
We have tricky work to do, and they ordered me to be arrested. You listen to me, I will obey their orders. I did this because I wanted to shift responsibility, and they felt that all the problems in this country were caused by me. If I do not believe in justice, I will not form a political party, but will initiate a revolution in this country. But I believe in justice, a fair judicial system will rule based on evidence.
It would be futile to restrict my movement in this country, because millions of Lula, Brosmanuela and Dilma Rousseff came to help me with my work. It is futile to stop me from communicating ideas. These ideas have been circulated everywhere and cannot be imprisoned. It doesn’t make sense to stop my dreams, because when I stop dreaming, I will let your minds dream for me and think that everything will stop the day Lula has a heart attack. This is also an illusion, that’s nonsense, because of you. Your heart will beat for me, there are millions of people's hearts here. Powerful people may be able to break one, two or a hundred roses, but they can never stop the arrival of spring, we are fighting to find spring
5. A Greek writer wrote
Democracy is truly effective only when the rich are threatened. Otherwise, the leader is oligarchy, from father to son, from son to grandson, from grandson to great-grandson, and then continues.
