The western media has been doing a remarkably shit job covering this when I've looked up information. Apparently they have their elections in rounds like in France and the final (?) round is happening on November 19th so we'll be finding out if the self-proclaimed Ancap wins or not and it would be hilarious if he does.

This is partly why I'm so interested in South America, the fact that he got this far at all is pretty meaningful. As much as I've pissed on Bolsanaro in the past as well for his moves the South American population seems to have something of a Libertarian streak going for them which is incredibly promising compared to the absolutely cucked behaviour of my own countrymen. I think this will potentially be something worth keeping an eye on guys because it's not an insignificant number of people voting for these candidates which is why the left is sperging out so hard over it if they do bother reporting.

Another event worth pointing out which I completely missed and I wouldn't be surprised others have as well because of the current thing spam. The fact that they actually went and banned an opposition candidate tells you they're scared of what's going on in South America.
