        China supports Lula and is concerned about the USA putting their grease fingers in Brazil(again).

        Also China banning all american social media was the greatest decision they have ever made.

    In case it hasn’t been obvious that the world has been trending back towards fascism for the better part of the last 20 years.

      Just the liberal capitalist world because the mask of liberalism has to be pulled back in times of crisis to reveal how the system truly functions.

      The problem with bringing up Cambridge Analytica is that 1) their schemes were found not to be effective and 2) it feeds BlueAnon conspiracy theories.

        money was made though, if it works or not facebook plays a role on elections and ads and they generally favour the right wing ones. but yeah, i didn’t know about that, tho, thanks.

    Assuming Lula wins reelection one of the principal concerns of the country’s national security interests should be banning U.S.-owned social media companies.

      At this point, there is a good chance the US would do what they did in Venezuela if Lula wins.

        They try to do some dumb shit against Brazil, but they’ll fail.

        I find unlikely, Lula is way more respected in the liberal “democracies” than Maduro. Not the Trump cares about but I think most of the staff could oppose this shit.

          i doubt it would be something like venezuela, but they WILL intervene somehow if he wins. they aren’t being too subtle about it.

          lula himself has commented on not being their ‘backyard’. the alternative media is already saying it.

            They will probably go with Guaidó/Machado route before doing the extra shit.

          We’ll see, it seems like he surrounded himself with like minded people this time around. Owning the libs could be seen as a power move by them.

        Brasilia is not Caracas. There’s no way they could pull it off.

          There’s no way they can pull off defeating Iran either, but here we are.

    What I find sad is that these ads can make a difference. People should have already researched the candidates and their positions and know who they’re going to vote for.
