- The Facts:
- Images of massive protests in Brazil have been flooding social media since the win of newly elected president of Brazil, Luiz InĂ¡cio “Lula” da Silva over Jair Bolsonaro at the end of October.
- Protestors believe the election was rigged.
- Bolsonaro protestors have been labelled as racist conspiracy theorists.
- Reflect On:
- It’s not uncommon for both left and right to accuse the other side of electron fraud, we’ve seen it with both Biden, Trump and Clinton in the U.S.
- Both “left” and “right” political parties seem to rely on massive propaganda campaigns to win over the masses, while their real intentions and affiliations seem to be extremely immoral, unethical and corrupt.
- Do our modern day political systems incentivize bad behaviour?
- Why do people continue voting these corrupt parties into power when nothing ever seems to change?
- Are our political systems even capable of service to others?
