Sinopse

How to survive the delusional paranoia that plagues the country

The October 2018 elections appeared to be a potential source of change for much of Brazilian society. But the rhetoric that extolled ethics and repudiated corruption and politics brought to power an authoritarian, sexist, conservative, and corrupt state, led by wealthy white men .

This was the result of the country's first election fueled by fake news, a lack of debate, and incitement to violence . Votes, largely motivated by anger, disillusionment, class hatred, and strife, were fueled not only by mainstream media. For the first time, social media and its army of bots and robotized actors were decisive in the election.

In "Delirium of Power: Psychopower and Collective Madness in the Age of Disinformation ," Marcia Tiburi analyzes discourses and tools that have surreptitiously begun to influence society's perception of political events—both personal and public. Her candidacy for governor of the state of Rio de Janeiro for the Workers' Party (PT) fostered her contact with reality and the delirium of partisan politics , which are the starting point, but not the end, of her reflections.

The philosopher addresses pressing issues, such as Brazilian society's fascination with a group that governs against its own interests, handing over the nation's riches—its citizens, its culture, and its natural resources—to the whims of global capital . "Delusions of Power" reaffirms that, with good faith and critical thinking, it is possible to build a better reality for everyone.
