We are moving from unipolar hegemony to multipolar. There will be upwards of a dozen poles in time

Doubt. China is clearly on a level of its own compared to virtually every other country out there other than the USA.

I find it unlikely to be a duoply of hegemony for long, some countries to watch are Germany, Japan, India, Nigeria, and Brazil. You could broaden the geography to continents were I expect major players to emerge on each.

We are only a few decades since the "end of history" and much has changed. What do things look like beyond 2050?

Brazil is basically the world's soy farm. It's at least half a century behind the times. I still have no idea how it managed to insert itself into the BRICS economic block. The notion that it's on the same level as China, India or Russia is just comical.

To reduce a culture and country like this comes off as bigotry

In example, Brazil has the #3 airplane producer in the world

Or consider why the US is doing all it can to prevent their payment system from becoming widely used?

I was intentional about putting the perspective in the future over today as the poles of the world are evolving

OP is one of many Brazilians that hates Brazil, which ironically is the reason why the country historically can't grow to its full potential
