Brazilian politics are a shitshow and neither Lula nor Bolsonaro are saints.

But Trump exerting pressure like this is another level.



This “both sides” shit has to stop! They are not equivalent in their badness.


What's the alternative?

"We're right and you're wrong!"

That's sure to lead to more nuance and critical thought.


The alternative is "we might be bad but the other side is so much worse their continued existence should be literally illegal".

In Brazil, nazism is illegal but socialism and communism are not. They should be.


That is intellectually very dishonest. That's not what I said and not even close.


People constantly "both side" genocides when they happen, don't be surprised when they both side less significant things.
