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
And therein lies the problem, you and a lot of people like you, genuinely can’t differentiate life and politics
the problem is precisely that for us politics has a practical effect on our daily lives. we have to worry about it, and talk about it, because if we simply let things go we get absolutely fucked
good for you that your current condition makes you immune to even moderate sways in the political environment. that is not the case for millions of people, even the majority of them
IQ is bullshit in the sense that as a measurement of cognitive abilities it doesn’t really work, but that doesn’t mean the only factor influencing intelligence is social upbringing either
i mean, say what you will, but i could have the most supportive environment on earth and i’m pretty sure i wouldn’t ever be the second coming of messi (or michael jordan for you gringos), same should go for newton, knorozov or whoever
i think i agree, it’s not that hard because you only need 3 ingredients for a prosperous capitalist society: 1) reasonably clean and effective government; 2) good regulation, which takes care of workers and the environment in the country; 3) a heavily exploited third world where 1st world mining companies go to get cheap resources and employ a semi-slave labor force that has to drink the resulting poisoned water, and if they ever have the gall to revolt you just sanction or nato-bomb their asses back to the stone age
it has been working for centuries, i dunno why these leftoids keep talking shit
I won’t contest that racism and bigotry existed on reddit. It definitely did. I also experienced and saw kindness and acceptance. Saying Reddit in its entirety is racist is really no different that saying everyone is racist. And not everyone and not everyone on reddit is racist.
reddit is full to the brim liberals and liberals are at best fascist enablers, at worst - especially when foreign politics are involved - they are fash-lite, consciously or otherwise
hence the stormfront joke
in a way, i think we can see it as a type of tailism
