    For real, I noticed that too. I think there’s also a bit of a thing with fascism over the Brazilian, since Vargas’ Brazil was the most prominent fascist nation outside Europe.

      Vargas’ Brazil was the most prominent fascist nation outside Europe.

      Was it really though? Seems like a bit of a stretch… But ok.

      Maybe the japanese empire (before ww2), or the south african apartheid regime, but vargas?

      Brazil did have the integralist party which was the largest fascist-like movement outside europe, but vargas didnt really go along with them.

        I’m gonna be honest, I’m not a huge Brazil expert. I had thought Vargas was close allies with the integralist party and even sort of it’s figure head through much of the rise of fascism.

      Yeah. There are a LOT of ways that can go but all I remember of Mati was that he was ambiguously brown and kind of a hodge podge of different cultures and backgrounds (wiki says he is officially “South Native American”)
