My Brazillian brother, look at the numbers of Lula’s governments, both 2003, 2007, and now in 2022. Look at GDP (pib), inflation, purchasing power, real growth of the economy, inequality numbers, price of the dollar, all of that. And you’ll have your answer if Lula is only a little better.
Those are insane prices. I live in Brazil and I have gigabit internet for 32-ish dollars.
The USA has always been THE bad guy, it just used to have better marketing and propaganda.
Isn’t this dead? I remember some news about it from last year that this was being sponsored by AMD and then they backtracked from it, so the main dev also dropped it.
Is it still Enshitification if it was shitty from the start?
Lookup where the expression Carbon Footprint came from, what ad campaign birthed the term and what were the motivations of the companies involved in doing so. It’s not a matter of “and”, it’s a matter of propaganda or actual reality.
There was actually a case in Brazil recently where a girl left her male friend alone during a hike, and the guy got lost and stayed 5 days surviving alone in the jungle near the mountain until he was eventually found alive. Almost no news outlet mentions that he was abandoned, but there is a video from the girl who was supposed to be with him saying that she left him behind and out of her sight. No news outlet blamed the woman like they would if the gender roles had been reversed.
For the US (which has always been an imperialistic pos country, never the savior of the world), this is not a pointless war. Is the most simple of all modern wars: oil war. Iran has the power to block 20% of the world’s oil supply. This is as simple as it gets, you just need to drop the rose-tinted glasses and realize that the USA js not, and has never been, any sort of paragon of morality and justice. It’s an Empire built by Oil and Billionaire Pedophiles. It’ll always do the shameless thing, because it knows no shame, and it has never known any shame, it just used to be a bit better at marketing.
Humans are not herbivores. There are a lot of good social and ethical reasons to not eat meat, this is not one of them.
It will all just get dumped in the Atacama desert, like they already do. Every year tons of fast fashion wearables get dumped there.
Shit! I’m soon to go Linux and now there’s one more thing for me ro figure out then. I have some stuff (not a lot, but some important stuff) on OneNote, lucky me that I made the switch to Obsidian a couple of years ago.
“A war fought is a war lost.” People don’t get how much Sun Tzu applies to modern China’s strategy. They won’t fight you in the field, that’s stupid. They’ll take control of all your manufacturing capabilities and cripple your infrastructure through dependency. That army? Literally just for show. ICBMs? Intimidation. The real war is economical.
Não acredito que tem maluco que nem tu no Lemmy. O cara chama o Lula de Narco Ditador kkkkkkkk
Essa foi longe demais. Daqui a pouco tu vai falar que o Bolsonaro não tem nenhuma ligação com as milícias do Rio de Janeiro, e também não teve nada a ver com os planos do golpe. E o Lula que é o ditador… E não me entenda errado, eu não sou nem maluco de achar que o Lula é de verdade de esquerda, mas não foi no governo dele que morreram 700 mil pessoas de Covid, muitas das quais não precisariam ter morrido.
Outra: abre o site do FMI e olha a série histórica de gráficos da economia brasileira começando em 1989 até 2025. Números não mentem, o primeiro e segundo mandatos do Lula foram os melhores que o Brasil já teve na nova República.

Oh, you’re for real an Israel apologist. I for a second thought you might just be naive, but no, it’s much worse. You’re a genocide supporter.
My cat literally loves hiding behind my display port connected monitor, bumps into it all the time, it has never disconnected or stopped working. Your cable might suck.
Nah, you have interpretation problems and a little cursing on the internet is quite inoffensive.
I hate this shit as well. People use “The Earth” to make it sound good for the environment, but it’s actually just human greed we’re always talking about. Take sustainability for example, you ask teens about it, and a lot of them will say it’s about saving the environment. It’s not. It’s about trying to sustain capitalism and our consumerist lifestyle to go on forever while pretending to give a fuck about the environment.
Trying to find logic in religion often results in that.
The problem of fighting for democracy using social media, is that the ones controlling the algorithm are precisely the ones that don’t want the “left” to succeed. It is essentially fighting a battle in the enemy’s field, where they control the land itself. At small scales, it might work. But it will never work when it comes to true important positions. I’d go as far as to say that the mirage that it works in cases like Mandani is part of their plan, to keep the left locked in their platforms “because that’s what works”. Here in my country, Brazil, I could clearly see the impacts of the algorithm changes they put in place after 2011, after the pro-democracy movements that started on Facebook. Their networks started to curb engagement from the left, and massively boost fake news, right-wing content, ultra nationalism, and such. It’s naive to think that social media can be used to win the populace back to the left. They’ll never let it happen.
