lol didn't Glenn Greenwald say that Lula was part of the deep state too?
Brazilian right-wingers are some of the dumbest motherfuckers on the planet. Sometimes I feel like they make US right-wingers look slightly intelligent.
They sure fall for some dumb bullshit.
According to a Brazilian acquaintance, there was a rumour going around (probably on WhatsApp or whatever) that the communists were trying to turn babies gay by replacing their soothers with tiny dildos.
Like lmao what the fuck how stupid do you have to be to believe something like that :che-laugh:
the tiny dildo soothers are pretty much the most iconic part of the 2018 election. he pretty much won that election on the back of fake news like that. :yea:
Had to do a double take bc i thought this was based but then realized he meant Bolsonaro :/
If the US were behind this, the protests would be much more violent due to CIA arming and training and reporting in the western press would be entirely different. Seems they've decided that Lula is moderate enough and Bolso is too much of a loose cannon.
Not only that but they wouldn't have told the Brazilian military to stand down in regards to helping bolsonaro
Even less than that there would be non stop media coverage and personal interviews.
With conservatives stacking the legislature and the courts, Lula is on a tight leash and can be easily replaced by some business ghoul in another four years.
i don't necessarily rule out rogue agency backstabbing but i'd say that these protests are just the jakarta method on auto pilot.
