I'm talking about Brazil of course, where the first round of the presidential election already had the winner Jair Bolsonaro, and they will go into a second, deciding round at the end of the month.
Just read this long but very informative piece by the native Brazilian Pepe Escobar who tries to see what is happening there in context to what could be about to happen in Europe next year.
He describes how the (more or less) abstract forces of capitalism seem to be willing to throw out all achievements of "civilization" when it comes to prevent the specter of "democratic socialism", whose impersonation in Brazil, Lula de Silva, sits in jail on laughable charges and would easily beat anybody in these elections according to any polls, from winning.
For the title I had to look up where Brazil stands in the population-per-country charts and found there that the three countries with the highest medium age are Japan, Germany and Italy with 46 years, So maybe Fascism is good for the health?
CJ Hopkins, in similarly wide-reaching observations to Escobar, blames it all on identity politics, which is, as you know if you ever listened to David Icke, the stoopitest form of politics imaginable, as we are all just different points of awareness in an ocean of consciousness.

So even with echoes of Mike Pence, Bolsonaro is the Brazilian Trump only to a certain extent: his communication skills – talking tough, simplistically, is language understandable to a seven-year old. Educated Italians compare him to Matteo Salvini, the Lega leader, now Minister of Interior. But that’s also not exactly the case. Bolsonaro is a symptom of a much larger disease. He has only reached this level, a head-to-head in the second round against Lula’s candidate Haddad, because of a sophisticated, rolling, multi-stage, judicial/congressional/business/media Hybrid War unleashed on Brazil.
