unless you're trying to convince a third party how stupid and insane they are then yeah argue with them for a little while but don't invest too much time
but that's exactly it
are you familiar with the Breitbart kind of explanation of how politics work?
no
Sorry I am not.
wait 1 sec, gonna get the Yt link
they only argue to convince third parties
It's supposed to start right around the part where he explains it
I'm from Brazil and our left managed to take hold of the meme lulz thing pretty good by using degeneracy as an aesthetic and demonizing rich people
one of our main chans are actually leftwing
The left in brazil just lost to a avowed fascist
based on religion, not lulz and memes. Internet culture is still dominated by lefties
and we didn't have political correctness to the extent america did, so our humor is actually effective
fat shaming the fuck out of right wing people, etc
I dunno, I think if we just got rid of PC the left can take hold of the cultural war
I'm a monkey, so sorry for my bad english cc:
It's fine
I'm still struggling to comprehend how people can go from 87% support of Lula to supporting a open fascist
In less than a year
I'm struggling to find words in english but I'll try
It's alright
Lula's arrest was heavily supported by the media/elites and got popular support by strawmanning that brazillian corruption was his fault.
If you try debating with anyone about this they 90% of the time delete the post because there's no proof of anything
Brazil didn't have a right/left distinction until this year, it's more about populism/elites
do people think bolsonaro isn't corrupt?
I feel like a good corruption scandal in the lead up to the election could've destroyed him
PT (workers party) was and still is strong in poor states but the sentiment of richer places was basically "We're driving the country, these scum are leeching off of us, etc"
Sorta, he used to be pretty niche, he supported nazi events in Sao Paulo and was mocked for it as everyone there looked borderline black
did the stabbing help him a lot?
Not really
Running on a 'death to all criminals' speech made him win centrist support
What happened to that woman who worked with Lula, the one who was captured by someone, I forgot her name
Dilma or Marisa?
Dilma
She got impeached by a technicallity
she used bank loans to pay for internal debt, wich was something every president up to her did
but the economic crisis was enough to build a strong opposition to take her out of power
