First of all, how is this a real thing. To put on a carnival celebrated before the first day of lent, and to show all of these floats I’d say 95% of them all had dark symbolism

Why do you think communism is so popular in Brazil?
Perilous times.
"The nerve!!!"
True
It’s their voodoo culture, a remnant of the culture the former slaves brought with them.
More love brought from Africa. Slavery, the gift that keeps on giving.
The days of Noah.
I only skipped through the video. Full on demonic. Actually one random screen shot gives you a sense of the whole thing. What is almost the most staggering is the crowds lining the streets to watch it.
Jesus, please, isn’t it time?
I’m going to wait until after church to watch it, Metmom. Don’t want it on my mind during service.
Here’s a post I just made on another thread. Without seeing the video and in true FR tradition, I post without knowing anything about the original article:
This is taken from the front page of a Google search re “Ishtar male and female” I just made, remembering her/him off the top of my dead head just from bed:
Ishtar has been considered androgynous because even in her male role she never becomes fully male, but seems to be a female with male gender characteristics. She is nevertheless always referred to as female with feminine grammatical agreement.
Who was Ishtar’s husband?
Dumuzi
The husband of goddess Ishtar was Dumuzi, also known as Tammuz, who was worshiped as the god of shepherds. Ishtar was worshipped primarily as the goddess of both love and war, and she was associated with aspects of these areas such as sex, fertility, and political power.Jan 1, 2022
IMHO, this is what we are facing all day long. I think Jonathan Cahn’s “The Return of the Gods” would make for good reading on it.
Same old evil dressed up with a new name. Nothing new under the sun.
I’m only here for the T&A!
NOLA is exactly the same.
No wonder the Nazis loved Brazil so much.
I’m guessing this guy doesn’t watch football...
Don’t even bother watching it all.
Just click on it in some random place and know that is representative ofthe whole parade. I didn’t actually watch it either, but r ather just clicked ona few places in it to see if itwas all the same.
It is.
Those people think it’s all fun and games, Until they are thrown into the eternal torment of hellforever.
Er, its been that way since... well, forever.
Thats the culture. Most other Latin cultures have something similar before Lent. Most are much more tame than Rio.
In Madrid they bury a sardine...

If you don’t like it, well, go somewhere else.
Well its a spectacular show that just happens to be demonic. The spectacle lures people in and the demonic content is there as the trap. In my youth I might have fallen for this but thankfully these days I pay attention to content with enough discernment to avoid and flee hopefully. I’ll pray for the those that watched this.
No it isn’t. Only a tiny minority of NOLA carnival events can be characterized this way. Most is family friendly, and of the rest, most is raunchy political satire.
Europe is full of weird local traditions.
Especially in the local fiesta, and of course carnaval.
In Burgos and other towns for instance they have El Colacho, representing the devil - who in Burgos jumps over babies to dispell any evil spirits, by missing them of course.

El Colacho is also seen in other towns, chasing the local youths, whacking them with something or other, putting the fear of the devil in them, at least symbolically.
The roots of the Rio Carnaval are not simply African, but come from very old Iberian-Latin traditions.
"Look here, more evil! Look there, more evil!" ~ Denizens of the darkness.
No vision necessary. In fact, blindness is a resume requirement, a statement of faith.
It's all their eyes can focus on, being in the perpetual darkness. It's all they know. It's their comfort zone, their happy 'hood.
It takes a little faith and its internal sunshine to see the good while the sons of Belial gather together to thrash in agony and cry their lungs out in order to block any light or good word.
The Good News according to the crypt keepers? It's the distant light at the end of a lonnng tunnel that they keep building under the color of insight and revelation. It's a big, established business.
Few ever catch on.
The prophets warned.
The true Redeemer and his Peeps live on the Sunnyside, bringing in light* like a transom window over a tall, solid, locked door.
Keep on the Sunny Side -- Johnny Cash
Isaiah 40:3
The voice of him that crieth in the wilderness,
Prepare ye the way of the LORD,
make straight in the desert a highway for our God.
The handy skillset of the bad news deliverers (it's like 10 spies versus 2) is that the faithless are determined to build their own gallows. (Good for something after all.) The Dark Side never learns because it already knows everything already. Q.E.D.
We are living in the days when light becomes brighter and dark becomes blacker and Satan and his worshippers consort in broad daylight rather than hiding away in dark places. Linda
