Most already know the story that led to the departure of the presenter Monark from Flowpodcast, but few understood what was the true crime he committed.
It was not an apology for Nazism, at no point in his professional career did he defend the SOCIALIST national ideology and defending the right to have a national SOCIALIST party of German workers does not mean supporting Nazism in the same way that it is possible to defend the existence of the green party without agreeing with any eco-fascist idea.
I am also unaware that he has made any anti-Semitic speeches, only left-wing people in Brazil are allowed to publicly hate Jews and still receive affection from many of the Jewish community who support left-wing politicians.
The real crime that Monark committed was to say in a country dominated by communists that the communist ideology is equally murderous, totalitarian and failed as the ideology of national SOCIALISM.
The crime that is not a crime, but an error of perception of the current situation we are in, a country already completely dominated by communists. Schools, universities, mainstream media, unions, associations, businessmen, banks, courts of law, “digital influencers”, religious entities, NGOs, in short, you don't have to look far, just look at the social media profile of most people of any body that exerts some power to realize that Gramsci's tactic worked very well in Brazil. The conquest of spaces and massive and permanent indoctrination for everyone to be socialists who need to destroy anyone of great importance who dares to speak inconvenient truths.
Again, the only “crime” that Monark committed was, being a very influential figure on the internet, to speak in a country full of communists that communism is as abject as Nazism.
It's not hard to find young people who believe that communism is good, that the world would be better if everyone earned the same salary and had equal opportunities. This stage of Gramscism was achieved through many years, a lot of indoctrination work and a lot of lies. It's a very complex project that has an Achilles heel, just one single truth to spread and all work is destroyed and so all energy was used to destroy Monark. Even the biggest newspaper on Brazilian television had to expose itself, even if every libertarian knows that Rede Globo is a fundamental part of the fascistoid project – usually it doesn't expose itself so much to continue feigning a certain credibility – but since Monark has a lot of relevance, especially with the young audience that is the favorite of communist doctrinaires, it was necessary to use all the propaganda machine for the destruction of an individual.
Destroying reputation is a method of delegitimizing the adversary, but in addition, and mainly, it is a method of taking the focus away from the central argument – the truth cannot be spread – by creating a smokescreen with a lot of sensationalism in demonizing the target to that the argument is neither repeated nor debated.
Monark advocated unrestricted freedom of speech and tolerance of bigots. Despite being drunk, he clearly and lucidly expressed basic concepts of freedom while denouncing communist terrorism by comparing it to the terror of national SOCIALISM; a dangerous speech to the totalitarian project that cannot be tolerated by the real Nazis who canceled it.

#Euro edged higher and bonds extended losses after a somewhat hawkish #ECB decision.

#ECB raises all rates by 25bps as expected. Depo Rate to 3.50%, highest since 2001. Main Refi to 4%, highest since 2008.

In Brazil, the steady downward shift in the curve amid improved disinflation prospects will prompt a less hawkish monetary policy stance in June. We expect the language shift to be moderate but strong enough to open the door for a rate cut in August, in line with market pricing.

A rate cut this year won’t be appropriate, Powell says. Inflation hasn’t moved down, hasn’t reacted to existing rate hikes “so we’re going to have to keep at it.” Says "talking about a couple of years out’ for rate cuts". Markets disagree, price first cut for Jan2024.
