Reply to comment by ilnimalee in Brazil election: Lula makes stunning comeback by AdAccomplished8914

"I'm from Brazil" Just look at the facts. I mean, half of Brazil votes "yes" to a fascist/bigot Balsinaro so does Brazil understand its own problems is a reasonable question.

As a Canadian I would argue most Canadians are in the dark.

In which part did I defend Bolsonaro? My point is clear: massive evidence suggests Lula was chief of two major bribery schemes to buy out he Congress. This doesn't imply Bolsonaro is better. My answer was to dismantle a narrative in which Lula charges were disregarded. No, they were not disregarded. The whole trial and its findings were reverted and got back to another instance.

Imagine that Dahmer, the murderer, was convicted by a court in New Jersey and arrested. After appealing, one court decided he was judged in the wrong Jurisdiction and sent all the proceedings back to another place, I don't know, Washington D.C, for instance. By no means Dahmer is 'innocent'.

Listen. I love you. You're dialed in.

Have a great day and congratulations on your countries swing away from Fascism.

I'll have a look at glenn greenwald on Lula again. It's been a few years and I'm wondering what new evidence has come out.

I think the take away on justice in 2022-23 is there is pressure from elites and fascists to push backnto preserve not only their crimes but the criminals want growth rate in their criminal enterprise
