I was on ali express and I saw this review. Below are all the memes which were included in the review of the item. Which I guess is a part for a game controller. What is it about? The original comment is

Tudo certo. Recomendo. Cuidado o Nine vai lhe taxar. Fez o L? Toma 92%. Se ficar P é pior tá ok?

And the machine translated in english is

All right. I recommend it. Careful the nine will tax you. Did the l? Makes 92%. If staying p is worse ok?

    Brazilians have to be the most terminally online people outside the anglosphere.

    Ali express, shoppe and other online stores have seen a huge growth in Brazil, putting pressure on our mail service, while evading import taxes. Lula's government put a tax on that imports, for anything costing more than 50us. Not sure how much it is, but isn't 92% that absurd.

    "Faz o L", or "Make the L", from Lula, was Lula's presidential campaign slogan, pretty stupid imo, but it worked. Now, everytime something bad happens (or not lmao) the chuds just said "faz o L amigo, faz o L kkk"

      I don't think this component count be 50us or even 5us.

      Is "cumpanhero" like "cumrade"?

        They're doing an intentional typo, but "cum" have no the same implications in Portuguese than in English. My guess is just parody of the way Lula talks.

    Dropping political memes in reviews is a good idea for agitprop. Even just having them in the background behind the product. thinkin-lenin

      Putting them behind item seems a bit tryhard when you can just do this

      What memes would you use?

        You can do this for now. Eventually they'll put a stop to it. A green screen playmat would probably be pretty handy.

        Hmm, idk. Probably simple stuff. Parenti's not underveleop, over exploited maybe. That pie chart showing surplus value being stolen. I'd probably go for as "non-political" as possible. Abstract leftism without flipping the frothingfash "commie!" switch.

        Also taking pics of products with leftist books in the background would probably be good.
