My home and nativeland, Brazil, it was built on genocide of the native people, and the enslavement of both African people and local natives

I was curious to see where my debate with the individual would end up. It was a load of nonsense but I wanted to see which arguments he’d use next. Don’t oppose the band, but I do regret the lack of the entertainment I was to have to see them defend the undefensible

Kirby my man, I really worry about your habit of scouring sketchy comment sections and subreddit treads. Hope you don’t over do it my fella.

Well, to be fair, it was always run by the interest of the capital, that is the nature of the system itself, the role of the state is to protect private property after all, the shocking thing is the brazen way they are doing it lately, usually the system likes to hide this shit and pretend that democracy means something in capitalism, but now this is as explicit as it comes.

Pff, amatures, here in brazil we have a huge branch of the police that is actually named Military Police, all pretense has been thrown out over here, there is a war against the people, hence military police. They get some points for honesty, just kidding military police deserves no points.

I’m in agreement with comrade fanonfan over here somewhere. As to say the answer is no, at least for the reasons you stated, this type of individual action is pointless towards making a dent on the system, you should make your surroundings comfortable, and the most important part is to understand the harm of the system and of its parts and of buying a particular type of product makes you feel extra bad, by all means avoid it, but just express yourself in the manner you like best, a comrade happy and active is better than a sad comrade in boicot of companies that often cannot fail under capitalism. Do what feels right to you, if being minimalist is rewarding and gives you that rebelious feeling great, but it js by no means a general recommendation.

I don’t hate them equally cause neo nazism is a very particular form of awful, plus I think that NATO being fucked over and prevented from spreading east is a win for everybody, but yeah Russia is no angel indeed very far from it but as I see is the least bad side of this conflict. Or whom the victory stands to result in the best geopolitical consequences as I see it

Well, there is more to it coming from Brazil, like it is true that there is a lot of good will towards the BRICS members and with straightening ties with China, but it’s important to not make it seem that Brazil’s internal politics are more to the left than they actually are, there are some very pro market and austerity inducing measures in course in Brazil, that bodes poorly for the short to mid term future. There is a need here for grater popular protests and movements, and there are some groups showing promise on the subject, but the situation here is not good, although Lula’s posture on international matters are nothing short of amazing, his team of ministers here are a far cry from what it would be expected of him. TLDR: Things are good, on one side, but really not good on the other.

Assuming that its not complete nonesense I could totally see the scientist chuckling a bit and saying that guy Biden is acting just like that Havana syndrome nonsense that people talked. And the ex KGB guy says Biden made the scientist think of the Havana syndrome
