No one is sadder than the Brazilian who roots for Argentina
The Brazilian, subtype-who-roots-for-Argentina, is the theme of this anthropological and psychoanalytic study in the form of a chronicle. Read it on Gazeta!
TL;DR
- The phenomenon of Brazilians supporting Argentina is explored, with potential reasons including political leanings, trauma from the 7x1 loss, and a desire for contrarianism.
- The article suggests that supporting Argentina is a sign of immaturity, rebellion against one's origins, and self-rejection, possibly fueled by self-hate and disappointment with Brazil.
- This behavior is seen as replacing a valuable sense of belonging to a shared culture with an external allegiance, even ignoring common rivalries and supporting Argentina's successes over Brazil's.
