    It also helps that unlike the R and the C in BRICS, they aren’t imperialists threatening and/or invading their neighbours. Brazil is a good world citizen.

      Brazil is a good world citizen.

      Uhhh, did you forget that Brazil was being run by a fascist war criminal just a short while ago?

        And now it isn’t, that’s democracy, baby

        I fully agree that Bolsonaro was a straight up demon, but I also agree with the idea that - currently - the administration of Brazil is probably about as good an example of a good world citizen as it gets

            The old system of using fact-checking agencies was biased, and the content they deemed false had its reach negatively impacted. They were literally the arbiters of truth, and their actions silenced their political opponents’ voices. The new system of Community Notes is superior because it requires approval from people with diverse political alignments to show a fact-check to everyone.

              Because remember you need a Nazi and a tankie to agree with facts in order for it to be the real truth.

              Sometimes reality doesn’t align with political views. Doesn’t mean it’s not facts

        I think you might be confused. They were talking about a country other than the US. 😂
