Milei received the controversial medal of the “Bolsonaro Club”. What do the 3 i’s mean and why are they criticized?

Other people who have received the medal includes Donald Trump and Viktor Orbán, among other prominent right-wing leaders.

In his brief visit to Brazil, President Javier Milei was inducted to the exclusive “Bolsonaro Club”, a distinction created by former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro for his closest ideological allies.

During the induction ceremony, Milei received the “medal of the three i’s”, a significant symbol within the Bolsonaro circle, with homophobic and sexist overtones. When asked about the meaning of the three i’s, the Argentine president was informed by Eduardo Bolsonaro, Jair’s son, of their connotations.

The first “í” stands for “imorrível” (immortal), highlighting Jair Bolsonaro’s survival after the attack suffered during his presidential campaign. “They stabbed him and he is still alive,” Eduardo emphasized.

The second “í” is “imbrochável”, a word without exact translation into Spanish, which, according to Bolsonaro Jr., alludes to male virility during sexual intercourse, provoking laughter and a jocular apology to Karina Milei for the explanation.

The last “í” is “incomível” (incompatible), which the Bolsonaro family uses to indicate that they have never had sex nor romantic relationships with men.

However, the awarding of this medal was not without controversy, as it was criticized by some who consider it homophobic. On social media, there was both support and rejection of Milei’s visit to Camboriú, where he met Jair Bolsonaro, highlighting the polarized opinions regarding this event and its political implications.

really not beating the “he has sex with his sister” allegations.

The energy in that room is so awful. It looks like there is not a single person there capable of having or being fun. There is not one genuine creative spark or novel perspective among the lot of them. Utterly lifeless joyless crowd. It’s the energy of a bunch of deadbeat divorcees in a smoke filled cigar bar they spend every night at harassing the waitress and making gross jokes that only they laugh at, and not even because they’re funny, but because they know other people are grossed out by it and take a weird joy out of the “rebelliousness” of having this social “power” of making others uncomfortable.

Also Milei looks more and more shit every time I see him. He looks like he’s aged 15 years in 2. What are these people even doing with all their plundered wealth?
