do people in brazil remember the dictatorship?

sort of, he's trying to 'redpill' people into thinking it was actually a pretty chill time

I think scare mongering the left/ the poor is the way to go

there's like tons of videos on police brutallity, shit like cops shooting an old man with grocerie bags in the slums

that was effective propaganda but lefties usually don't spread those

yeah

too bad he already won the election

I was reading some stuff about the Cambridge Analytica thing and how Steve Bannon frames his right wing populism and thinking about how the left could build it's own pageantry

maybe coding bots redpilling ppl about how Lula is innocent

using Machine Learnig to determine what to respond or something like it

too late for Lula he'll be dead in 2 months max

Why do you say that

Justice ruled he is unnable to give interviews in prison

it was all pretty ridiculously unconstitutional

They deemed him as a threat to public peace and refused to let him speak, that hurt PT a lot in this ellection

he has great oratory and would beat bolsonaro eady

easy*

yeah I know I was arguing with a french "lawyer" yesterday about how it was illegal

For me I think they focused too much on him too soon

they didn't focus that much on actual propasals

true

bolsonaro was promising to end crime in Brazil and leftists were too PC to approach it properly

also in the second round they didn't fight back against the corruption accusations

Usually they wanted to defend how different economic backgrounds pushes people to crime ( correct ), but with people who are bombarded with videos of people getting shot by criminals

That was a horrible approach

Instead of fear mongering people about what would gun reform and police brutality

do*

yeah ignoring the most important issue on voters minds tends to not be a great startgy

The PSOL party doubled its caucus though

I actually started agreeing with Bolsonaro until one leftie girl said to me "It's not about having pitty for criminals, it's about me selfishly not wanting to be robbed or killed by them based on what works" The left didn't even try to sell it's solution as the true road to end crime but just focused on how criminals are victims of the system

yeah but I don't think it means much compared to Bolsonaro

PSOL is mostly idpol

at least that's how its perceived

i'll be in the trap with a wooly hat on like a russian

People are now calling everything that goes against him as communist, I think that can be used to take the meaning and fear our of actual communism just like idpols did with nazis in the US.

hitler was a national socialist

out of actual communism*

Some of his speech were socialist, in execution he was as far as you get

Some of his speeches were socialist, in execution he just cuddled with industries*

national socialist

He promised land reform but never came around to doing so
