How is it good that companies in the US is interfering with elections in other countries? Seems like a bizarre take.

Are you one of the guys that support the pedophile Trump and believe everything he says to he gospel?

Probably, and as with most of MAGA adjacent electorate, it’s comprised of frequently stubborn brainwashed minds with no way of arguing out of.

It's a hollow complaint given the countless abuses of Lula, his party and all the left wingers in the judiciary and media.

Back in 2022, Bolsonaro was barred from even going live on social media while at the Palácio da Alvorada. Lula has no such restrictions and did it multiple times. Even now, we've got judges who have openly declared that they vote for Lula absolving him of the same actions they condemned Bolsonaro for in 2022.

Whatever it is that Meta is doing, it is literally nothing compared to what they did to the Brazilian right wing. Can't say I feel sorry for them. They literally pulled out all the stops, and it's actually going to be cathartic when they lose anyway.

So it's good that Meta is interfering with elections in other countries because it did it in the past? That's a completely bizarre take.

It’s a nut take with Lula pessimism. The left has taken a radical turn to fight back against bot engagement employed by the extreme right.

The Brazilian supreme court usurped all power in 2019 when they launched their "fake news" inquisition. They essentially became the victims, investigators, prosecutors, judges and executioners in a perpetual trial of wildcard crimes against themselves and with jurisdiction covering the whole territory of Brazil. The inquisition is still active as of today.

That is what the "extreme" right is up against.

No. It's definitely not good. I'm not saying this is a good thing.

I'm saying that it's hard to feel sorry for them.

Seems completely irrelevant. Of course there are people on the right that doesn't feel sorry for the people on the left. A large portion of the right is completely brainwashed.

> A large portion of the right is completely brainwashed.

This is why the left is losing the election, you know. Can't even be bothered to understand our position, our logic, why we think the things we do. Doesn't even try to listen.

It's gotten to the point that common people have turned right wing. Upon discovering that, the left managed to do nothing but insult and degrade these people. Lula himself had to tell his voters to stop doing that.

There is a real left wing party in Brazil: PCO. They've been saying the exact same things I've been saying, for even longer than I have. Maybe you'll listen to them instead? I'm right wing and even I managed to listen. I can't help but agree with PCO on a daily basis.

Yet another uninformed take. Good job showing your ignorance
