      It’s almost like most socialists are actually good people who just want to make the world a better place and don’t put profits above humanity. I hope Lula keeps up with his promises and continues to bring Brazil forward. The people there definitely deserve it.

    And Bolsanaro is banned from running for president for the next 8 years. Things are definitely looking up in Brazil.

    The really fun thing is that, nearly every week, there’s news about IBAMA (the govt agency that does the whole environment protection thing) and the army blowing up illegal mining operations. The night news TV almost looks like an action movie with all the explosions!

    Bozo did everything he could to keep IBAMA away from the illegal miners and deforesters, this happening is one of the best middle fingers to him and his cronies

      Yeah but seems that no one gives a fuck. US and China are still the greatest polluters and don’t seem to care, Europe besides still seeming to want to do something, is not ready to press this both especially now with the Ukraine war so, yeah, we are pretty fucked up.

        that doesn’t seem right at all? I mean progress is slow because things in Europe and the US are much less centralized. But just gaving a look and compare between Europe and the US, and other countries should make you understand that things are just better. Granted not good enough but nothing is gonna happen instantly. China is another thing.

      I hear you but we can still celebrate progress. It’s really disheartening if you shit on every time somebody does something in the positive direction

        Seriously, a big thing I’ve noticed here is that the general vibe of Lemmy seems morose and pessimistic as fuck.

              Yup, when I’ve been in real depressive moods I’ve read stuff on that site, and man it’s as depressing and pessimistic as you can imagine. The worst are those who almost cheer for the world to collapse.

      It’s widely know that Lula’s prison sentence was unlawful? If that’s what you’re referring to. If there’s other shady shit he’s putting Brazil through than I am unaware and I’d like you to enlighten me.

      Also… his stance on Ukraine-Russia is the correct stance?

      The data also comes from Brazil’s national space research agency - which has been collecting data for 50 years? I wouldn’t call all of this fake? I know the US inflates some numbers and don’t see why any other country wouldn’t but claiming 34% when in reality its 15 would discredit any research agency.
