Shoegazer Alive is taking a break for the November 3 elections. We returned on 11.4. VOTE!

The entire world is in a state of civil war. Progressivism and obscurantism are battling for power, and I believe that all of us—even if we feel our individual contribution might be insignificant—have a duty to do our part to prevent the forces of darkness from seizing control of the planet’s destiny. Here in Brazil, individuals who are far from being "civilized" nearly took power, which would have plunged the country into an unprecedented regression. Fortunately, the forces of good outnumber those of evil in this country, and the man who sought to turn Brazil into his own private backyard shamefully fled the nation the day after the election. Yet, Brazil is merely a pawn in the international political game. The true protagonist—the nation capable of either fostering global prosperity or sinking the world for good—is the United States. Why do I write this? Because more than 40% of this blog’s audience comes from the United States. On November 3rd, an election will take place that could strip some power away from someone who fancies himself the master of the world—a true lord of darkness. Public participation is vital, especially since voting in the U.S. is not mandatory. Shoegaze is a wonderful distraction—a musical style that makes life better—but not right now. Now is not the time for distractions. Just as we did in Brazil—preventing an irreversible regression from taking hold—it is crucial that American voters elect representatives who oppose the current state of affairs (there is no need for me to list its characteristics; you all know what they are). Consequently, we will pause all new posts on the blog starting October 29th, keeping this entry pinned at the top of the homepage. We will also share this text across the blog’s and the author’s social media channels. We will resume normal operations on November 4th. People of goodwill across the entire planet are counting on your help, our North American brothers and sisters!

Shoegazer Alive

O mundo inteiro está em guerra civil. Progressismo e obscurantismo estão em luta pelo poder, a acho que todos nós, mesmo pensando que nossa participação possa ser inexpressiva, temos o dever de fazer nossa parte para evitar que forças das sombras tomem conta do destino do planeta. Aqui no Brasil, pessoas muito distantes de serem consideradas civilizadas quase tomaram o poder, o que levaria o país a um retrocesso sem precedentes. Felizmente, as pessoas do bem são em maior número no país que as do mal, e o cidadão que queria transformar o Brasil em seu quintal, vergonhosamente fugiu do país um dia após as eleições. Mas o Brasil é apenas um peão no jogo político internacional. O grande protagonista capaz de tornar o mundo mais próspero ou afundá-lo de vez são os Estados Unidos. E por que escrevo isso? Mais de 40% da audiência do blog vem dos Estados Unidos. E acontecem no dia 3 de novembro eleições que poderão retirar parte do poder de alguém que se acha o dono do mundo, o senhor das trevas. É importantíssima a participação popular, até porque o voto no país não é obrigatório. Shoegaze é uma distração, um estilo musical que faz a vida de todos melhor. Mas não agora. Agora não é momento de distração. Como fizemos no Brasil, evitando que o retrocesso irrecuperável se instalasse, é importantíssimo que o eleitor americano eleja representes contrários à manutenção do estado de coisas atual, que nem preciso citar as características, vocês todos sabem. Assim, deixamos de fazer postagens no blog a partir de 29 de outubro, mantendo esta postagem no alto da home. Compartilharemos este texto nas redes sociais do blog e do autor. A partir de 4 de novembro, voltamos às atividades normais. O povo do bem em todo o planeta conta com a ajuda de vocês, irmãos norte-americanos!
