<p>And since true regret should come with analysis of what and why:
Salvoj Zizek said in a different but connected context that "<a href="https://www.theguardian.com/books/video/2018/oct/24/slavoj-zizek-tells-owen-jones-clinton-is-the-problem-not-trump" target="_blank">
Clinton is the problem not Trump</a>". <br>
</p>
<p>This is unthinkably bad, and also one can see that there is a
pattern that is repeating at many places which bespeaks underlying
historic-political causes. There is no time to slump with
hopelessness, we must get up, claim and reclaim, build and
rebuild...... <br>

Sorry for this, but the situation may be terrifying for anyone who
opposes the ultra-right-wing candidate. The article by Pablo Villaça (in
English) is an accurate review:

The article is also attached in PDF.
Bolsonaro threatens to liquidate all NGOs and social movements -- who
can choose between prison and exile. Fundamental achievements like our
multistakeholder Internet governance system, our Internet Bill of
Rights, and many other human rights-related laws are at risk.
