Brazil "is not a poor country," you say. If you look at the immense poverty that exists there, that sounds wrong. The huge favelas there have existed a long time compared to Argentina's probably currently booming Villa Miserias. There are rich in both countries, but probably not enough "sheepy" enough ones to support the Family there for long on their lame "tools," which can only fascinate a limited number of people very much. And if people leave, they probably have few opportunities to make it from scratch without a normal educational background than in places like the U.S. I recently chatted with a foreigner SG who left the Family in Brazil and could not get fare to the more industrialized home country. when I expressed my outrage, this person told me the homes there kept asking them for money since this person was now actually gainfully employed. All that to say, the Family sucks. I am so tempted to say what so I'm gonna stop here.
