i don't see any reason for them to fuck us, it's different this time because lula is pretty much just a figurehead now. the real people behind this government are the ones riding with haddad and his neoliberal goons

yea i was thinking of bush when i said that, lula can run circles around idiotic neocons/reactionaries. if he has one great talent, one single ability that sets him apart from other people, it's knowing what you want to hear and how to say it (something that he uses to mislead both the right and the left)
smart libs like obama are another thing entirely though, they don't fall for his shit
i think brazil is gonna be fine, 3rd term lula has been neolib as fuck, there's no need for americans to do anything against it. lately some social movements have been trying to pressure congress into passing laws reducing the workweek to 5 days (currently it's like 5.5, with a 44h total, 4 hours on saturday) and his own minister of labor and employment came out against it (defending "separate collective negotiations in each sector" instead, but less than 9% of our workforce is unionized - even less in the private sector - and that fucker knows it lol)
also lula is pretty good at handling people like trump in general
fucking climate change or fucking ricardo nunes
in a way, i think we can see it as a type of tailism
that last part is so true lmao
when these evangelical leaders were reaching their peak, back in late 00's/early 10's, the PT decided to support rather than to fight them, in the hopes that they would get electoral support (which they even did, for a time; but like any reactionary opportunist, those leaders soon turned their back on the party)
there's a bunch of bureaucratic stuff to do before it becomes blocked, but once it does you can probably still use nitter (or even use a vpn, though you might be fined for 50k in that case)
tbh, all elon had to do was to appoint some legal representative for brazilian operations. this is literally just him throwing a tantrum and not wanting to be coerced
moraes has ordered twitter to be shut down
i know that lib would do the same to communists, but since that cursed website is a den of nazi fucks i'm actually pretty happy about it
gonna be harder to see how my ex is doing though... but it's all for the best lmao
prompt: unhinged cowlick hair cracker
lula did have 10 million more votes from catholics, whereas bolsonaro was up by 14 million with evangelicals
but it's a tricky stat: the most catholic regions in the country are the south and northeast, and while the first one voted firmly for the right, the second basically pushed lula to his win, with crazy percentages like over 76% of the votes in piauí
so, two catholic regions voting in completely different ways. my take is that it's not really that catholics support lula, as much as northeasterners do (for very material, concrete reasons - historically the poorest region in the country, but whose conditions improved massively under lula I and II), and they just happen to be very catholic
improper comparison (why aren’t we comparing Haiti and Cuba instead of the US and Cuba?)
this has buggered me so much since the first time i ever heard that comparison
it's especially bad when it's someone from the 3rd world spouting that bullshit. "people are leaving cuba to go to the US!!" yea bitch but more people are leaving our country for america too and ours is a fucking capitalist one
it's mostly to find underground stuff like festival movies, old foreign tv shows etc
