Lessons on social media, advertising, and fashion - the case of book dissemination on social media. On the necessity of ordered and responsible dissemination of knowledge, so as not to generate conspicuous consumption for knowledge, which is the driving force of intellectual conservantism

1) In times when traditional second-hand bookstores can no longer be visited, you need to surround yourself with qualified people who can give you good book recommendations — these are the authorities you will need to enhance your freedom to speak with propriety, in the merits of Christ.

2) A good network of qualified intellectuals — who recommend works, share quotes, or even impressions of what they have read — is the backbone of a healthy social network. Without this network of suitable friends, you will flounder, forced to use the ideas of shipwrecked individuals, where the main criterion for knowing things is to preserve what is convenient and sensible since you do not yet know the others (due to not having made this discovery yet).

3) For those raised in the culture of preserving the memory of Christ's suffering to conserve what is convenient and sensible — to the point of this being refined over the centuries, since known truth is obeyed truth — the knowledge of previous generations as a reference is essential to gauge what is sold as the latest market novelty. The truth is that there is nothing new — what exists is a new packaging or some reinterpretation of what was already known, which can produce something new.

4.1) It is important to pay attention to the readings of the most brilliant minds you know on social media to seek constant improvement —if you lend your ear to any charlatan, your loves will become disordered, turning into fads, which are nothing more than a symptom of disordered love that inflates the demand for something, giving an exaggerated value to a good that does not always correspond to reality.

4.2.1) When I follow a content producer on social media, whether in video form or written form, I base my decision on the experiences my contacts have with this producer — if the relationship is good, then they will have my audience, as the content is good. If I were to base it on the experience of people I do not know, who do not share the same wants and dislikes founded on the true God and true man, my criteria would certainly be disordered, turning into a fad, which would serve empty purposes. This is not good, given that concupiscent loves are founded on the gluttony of Chronos, generating this unhealthy obsession people have with being first every second—resulting in a liquid life, devoid of meaning.

4.2.2) True fashion, which has the power to generate custom and eventually the power to generate law, requires temperance and benevolence. When we spread things that are good, we should not cast pearls before swine, but to those willing to listen to us, for order is founded on those who have the goodwill to hear what we have to say that is good. Over time, this order expands to other social circles through the transmission of knowledge, in the merits of Christ. For this reason, it is important not to rush—transmit what you know within what you are capable of doing, within your circumstances, and God will take care of the rest.

Lições sobre rede social, sobre publicidade e moda - o caso da difusão de livros na rede social. Da necessidade da difusão ordenada e responsável do conhecimento, de modo que isto não gere um consumo conspícuo por saber, que é o motor do conservantismo intelectual

1) Em tempos onde já não se encontram mais os sebos tradicionais para serem visitados, você precisa se cercar de gente qualificada que possa te fazer boas indicações de livros - estas são as autoridades de que você precisará de modo a aperfeiçoar a sua liberdade de dizer as coisas com propriedade, nos méritos de Cristo.

2) Uma boa rede de intelectuais qualificados - que te indiquem obras, que partilhem citações ou mesmo impressões do que leram - é a espinha dorsal de uma rede social sadia - sem essa rede de amigos adequados, você naufragará, a ponto de ser forçado a usar idéias próprias de náufragos, onde o principal critério para se saber das coisas é conservar o que é conveniente e sensato, uma vez que não você conhece os outros (por conta de não ter feito ainda essa descoberta).

3) Para quem é criado na cultura de que é preciso conservar a memória da dor de Cristo de modo a conservar o que é conveniente e sensato - a ponto de isto ser aprimorado ao longo dos séculos, posto que verdade conhecida é verdade obedecida -, é primordial o conhecimento das gerações anteriores como referência de modo a se medir aquilo que é vendido como se fosse a última novidade do mercado. A verdade é que não existe nada novo - o que existe é uma nova roupagem ou alguma ressignificação do que já se sabia e isto pode produzir coisa nova.

4.1) É importante que você esteja atento às leituras das mentes mais brilhantes que você conhece da rede social de modo a se buscar um constante aperfeiçoamento - se você emprestar seu ouvido a qualquer picareta, seus amores ficarão desordenados, a ponto de virarem modismo, que nada mais do que um sintoma de amor desordenado que infla a demanda por alguma coisa, a ponto de dar um valor exagerado a bem que nem sempre corresponde à realidade.

4.2.1) Quando vou seguir um produtor de conteúdo na rede social, seja na forma de vídeo ou mesmo na forma escrita, eu procuro me basear na experiência que meus contatos têm com este produtor - se a relação for boa, aí ele terá a minha audiência, pois o conteúdo é bom. Se me baseasse na experiência de pessoas que não conheço, que não têm o mesmo querer e o mesmo não querer fundado no verdadeiro Deus e verdadeiro, certamente meus critérios seriam desordenados, a ponto de isto se tornar modismo, o que faria com que as coisas fossem servidas com fins vazios, o que não é nem um pouco bom, dado que amores concupiscentes são fundados na gula de cronos, a ponto de gerar esta doentia obsessão que as pessoas têm de estarem em primeiro lugar a cada segundo - e isto gera uma vida líqüida, destituída de sentido.

4.2.2) A verdadeira moda, que tem condão de gerar costume e por fim o condão de gerar o direito, ela pede temperança, benevolência. Quando formos difundir as coisas que são boas, não devemos atirar pérolas aos porcos, mas para aqueles que têm disposição de nos ouvir, pois a ordem se funda nos que têm boa vontade de nos ouvir naquilo que temos a dizer de bom. Com o tempo, essa ordem se expande para outros círculos sociais, por conta da transmissão do conhecimento, nos méritos de Cristo. Por este motivo, é importante não ter pressa - transmita o que você sabe dentro daquilo que você é capaz de fazer, dentro de suas circunstâncias, que Deus cuidará do resto, nos méritos de Cristo.

Is it possible to dream and have life ideals in Brazil?

1) From my experience in Brazil— due to the instability of life here, caused by the political instability of the Republic — you cannot plan your life with security. You don't even have the right to have life ideals because ideals are the synthesis of long periods of prosperous and good life, something we only had during the reign of D. Pedro II — since the monarchy fell, we have never had peace again.

2.1) I was born in 1981, almost a hundred years after the fall of the monarchy. I lived through the hyperinflation crises that marked the Sarney and Collor governments, during which our currency was changed several times in a very short period. Only in 1994, with the advent of the Real Plan, did we achieve monetary stability, but not the longed-for political stability and consequent legal stability, as we have a serious problem of judicial activism in the Supreme Federal Court (STF), as well as in other higher courts worldwide.

2.2) Although we achieved monetary stability, the threats still persist and are far from ceasing: taxes are heavy, and the system is suffocating and perverse—since the State is separated from the teachings of the Holy Mother Catholic Church under the false claim that the State is secular, the principle that known truth is obeyed truth does not apply here. The principle that friendship is the basis of political society does not apply, nor does the principle that authority, vested in Christ, should perfect the freedom of many based on the principle of protecting the trust of those who love and reject the same things with Christ as the foundation. Truth is the foundation of freedom, as Saint John Paul II always taught us. Here, the government of the people, by the people, and for the people is always constituted by that small fraction of animals who lie and live by lies and the illegitimacy of this regime to get ahead in life since they are nothing more than an idle class— they have never produced anything good for the people but want to live off the best the people produce.

2.3) This explains, in my humble understanding, the culture of pretense that Professor Olavo always criticizes, as the sense of maintaining what is convenient and dissociated from the truth is always a cancer—a social cancer and a cancer for the soul of those who practice it. This kills the sense for which this country was founded, as it kills the sense of conformity with the All that comes from God in this land, essential to take this country as a home in Christ, through Christ, and for Christ so that we can lead as many people as possible to the ultimate homeland, which is in Heaven.

3.1) When a girl on Amal Date asks me what my life ideal is, the answer is quite simple: to survive this cursed republic that reigns in Brazil and see the monarchy restored, along with everything established in Ourique, because of this nefarious act of unpatriotic behavior committed in 1822, wrongly called independence. What was established in the Miracle of Ourique is my true life ideal, as it is civilizational because it is true—I cannot live it to its fullest because Freemasonry destroyed it, and it needs to be restored in all its essence.

3.2.1) For this reason, fighting these people, this nefarious regime they created, which favors communism, and the communists, is a matter of charity. They are all enemies of God—therefore, my personal enemies; if they were mere political adversaries, I could negotiate with them, but with these people, it is impossible to negotiate, as they destroy everything sacred.

3.2.2) It is no wonder I despise this false right that emerged from 2013—they see communists as adversaries and have no intention of fighting this culture that favors the proliferation of these cursed bacteria because they also want to benefit from the public treasury since they are driven by personal ambition, the same stupidity that founded this cursed republic. Like the centrão, which has no political ideology, the purpose is to make politics a big business counter, not to serve the common good—it is no wonder I call them "conservantists," "right-wing leftists," or even "green and yellow left." These people, due to their hypocrisy and atrocious pretense, will ruin everything.

3.2.3) In my judgment, this seems a much worse scissors effect than the one between the PT and the PSDB during the false polarization that began in the 1990s and lasted until the 2014 elections when Dilma was re-elected. The only reason this is not an explicit reality is that the assassination attempt on Bolsonaro failed, and this is still latent, as it has not yet moved from commitment to practice.

Polypatrid and nationnist are not the same thing

1) The legislation that generates polypatrids is founded on abstract, purely rational criteria —completely disconnected from reality. If one has a parent with a particular nationality, the child acquires that nationality, combined with the fact that being born in a place grants you nationality. The belief behind these legal criteria is that man is like a blank sheet of paper.

2) These abstract criteria are unfeasible, utopian, and empty, as they generate freedom without connection, laying the groundwork for a freedom that leads to nothing (a symptom of a liberal legal culture without Christ). As we live in a world increasingly without Christ, where marriages dissolve very easily, the issue of polypatrid does not necessarily equate to being nationnist, as many marriages are founded on interest, and dual nationality ends up becoming a kind of privilege. This creates a false nobility, where simply having a connection with these States is enough to be considered a citizen, regardless of whether you contribute positively to making these countries feel like home in Christ.

3) The issue of nationness implies two things: corpus + animus. It is not enough to be born in a place or have an ancestor born in a place — you need physical contact with the land, knowledge of its customs, its economic potential, and its people. Moreover, you need to learn the history of these countries so that you can inhabit them as if they were a single home — this implies participating in the political life of both places. To take them jointly as a single home in Christ requires the will to have dual nationality — and for this, you need to have assets and a presence distributed in these two places so that one can serve the other, through you and your family. This is a much more concrete and qualified basis than the abstract constitutional declaration that defines who does or does not have nationality.

4) Only those who take countries as a home in Christ, occupying them in a way that serves their fellow humans and prospers in those places, have the right to have connections with the lands they occupy. Therefore, no constitutional basis can be divorced from property rights.

5) If we look closely, the current nationality criteria lay the groundwork for the abolition of private property, as they deny everything that can result from owning a place. They abolish the notion of family and God. In short, they are true proto-socialist criteria, as they allow the State to be taken as if it were a religion, where everything is within the State, and nothing can exist outside it.

6) Finally, without tradition, without family, and without property, the beginning of the abolition of private property starts when defining who the national selves are—and this criterion currently exists in an abstract, pure form, without any concrete relation to reality.

Aphorism about aristocracy and oligarchy

1) I don't hide anything – I just don't cast pearls before swine, in the sense of sharing what I know with those who are truly unworthy.

2) From my experience, those who truly clothe themselves in Christ to the point of loving and rejecting the same things as the True God and True Man loved and rejected are indeed few. And only these few, who are capable of seeing the Christ who makes His Holy Dwelling in me through the Holy Eucharist, are worthy of hearing what I have to say. 

3) My audience, as Bastiat says, is what the being that maintains what is convenient, even if dissociated from the truth, does not want to see: they are the angels, the saints, and God itself. It is from these that I want applause, through the merits of Christ; from the world, I naturally expect boos.

Scandinavia: terra vocata al mare

1) Fin dai tempi dei vichinghi, la Scandinavia è vocata al mare. Prima ancora dei britannici, portoghesi, spagnoli, genovesi e veneziani, i nordici fecero del mare la loro terra.

2) Per chi lavora nei settori delle assicurazioni e dei trasporti, questo è un luogo importante. Qui c'è una presenza significativa di assicuratori, armatori, agenti logistici, P&I Club(s). Qui c'è una circolazione di ricchezze. Qui ci sono porti e infrastrutture di trasporto ben sviluppati.

Scandinavie: terre vocacionnée à la mer

1) Depuis l'époque des Vikings, la Scandinavie est vocacionnée à la mer. Avant même les Britanniques, les Portugais, les Espagnols, les Génois et les Vénitiens, les Nordiques ont fait de la mer leur terre.

2)Pour ceux qui travaillent dans les domaines des assurances et des transports, c'est un endroit important. Ici, il y a une présence importante d'assureurs, d'armateurs, d'agents logistiques, de P&I Clubs. Ici, il y a une circulation de richesses. Ici, il y a des ports et des infrastructures de transport bien développés.
