Not that your point isn't valid but you literally pick a random card and make it seem like a reason to do something stupid. When stuff you do don't need to make sense logic is no longer a tool, it's an obstacle

Not disagreeing with you there, just stating that we ought not to forget what good means. Bolsonaro is a stupid jerk and it's great he lost but we still need to be on top of what Lula is doing so that we don't risk facing the big scandals of the past. It's the only way we can push things to be better

That's not true, tropical forests are carbon and oxygen neutral in their cycle

It's wonderful that the forest gets protected but your oxygen mostly comes from algae in oceans

Not really; the forest can recover pretty quickly if we just leave it be. My mom did an internship monitoring tree development in recovering areas and the description of the mutations of the forest, regardless of deforestation, are very interesting. If you leave a plain field just beside a tropical forest alone for 2 years you will barely recognize the line showing the difference; it's one of the reasons tropical forests survive. They need their own recycling process of organic mass to compensate the poor soil, consequence of the very frequent raining that washes down whatever it finds. It's a balanced environment, another reason we shouldn't interfere

For the sake of clarity, the Amazon is absolutely terrible as soybean production farming goes due to a long number of reasons. The illegal activities done there are mostly logging, mining and cattle, all without the proper licenses and even done by big American/Canadian companies. The campaign trying to pretend Brazilian soybean comes from deforested Amazon is just propaganda, even the buyers know this and validate purchases before so that the sources follow the law.

Non-corrupt is simply not true. He had to pick a former adversary as his vice president because so many of his former party colleagues are in jail. Lesser evil is still very far from being good

I didn't. The duality of it makes it beyond comprehension. People calling the representative of banking and industry sectors a communist and the one that buys support with handouts a fascist. It's even dumber to assume whoever didn't vote for a side to be for the other one; the proportion of the population that can name the political proposal of the candidate they voted for is abysmally low. That's my point. You don't even need to go far, just follow this thread and look for people calling me "bolsominion". I didn't vote for him on either election, yet it's easier to fight the perception of an enemy, regardless of how real he is

It is your ignorance that needs saving, your affirmation lacks an argument and barely means anything. Yes, PT was criminal, from the simple definition of convicted of criminal activity. Your mental gymnastic to pretend they will suddenly behave properly is as naive as your name calling is mischievous

That doesn't make any of his crimes less truthful. Besides that, the supreme court had many ministers appointed by himself and the intermediate superior court, composed of 3 judges, not only confirmed the first instance sentence but increased the number of years to be served. It's literally impossible to retract the political aspect of an ex-president, there are many bad things about both sides of the legal battle, but regardless, Lula's son has ascended from minimum wage to multi millionaire within a couple of years. To pretend he is a good citizen is naive and enabling

The dude was literally in prison. There is no silver lining here. Just because the other was bad doesn't make it a good deal. There is a much longer and deeper discussion to be held here but to summarize: the right to vote without consequence or collateral makes it easy to abuse. A relative was a candidate at this election and hundreds of people walked into the committee asking how much would she pay for their vote. In broad daylight, no shame on it either.
As long as my vote matters as much as theirs, the wrong people will manipulate and skew the situation towards their needs. Lula is skilled at this, he negotiates with the people that matter. In a way, he reminds Frank Underwood in his maneuverability and lack of morals applying his tactics. From all the people that occupied high ranks in his party, only a handful of the gullible or unimportant were not incarcerated for corruption. From low ranking messagers to the minister in charge of his staff, the list would almost be funny if it wasn't so tragic.
With all that said, though, I believe most of the blame is within Brazilian culture itself. It's perceived as being street smart if you are able to take advantage of others, no matter how. People study hard to get public office jobs that they can't be fired from, so they can "relax" and have a comfortable life with minimum effort. The state ends up being overstaffed and barely doing the minimum, all when millions get paid to pretend it's not their fault. Maybe a handful of well educated and informed generations might start to improve this but I doubt it. It's in our nature to do this with "jeitinho", loosely translated to "our little way"

Reply to Does Vienna wait for us, or is life a race against ourselves? [Discussion] by TreatThompson
There are many nuances to this. Everyone literally has the rest of their lives to live - the joke is on the duration. Selling your present for some comfort on your future is not just advisable, it is expected; it also adds as "payments" for the period of your life where you did not work and still had a measurable attached cost and investment. We pay that back on our children (at least usually).
Having that thought is very healthy but only up to the point where it doesn't prevent you from doing better. It doesn't matter how much money you make as humans can always find new ways to top up comfort and we get used to good things terrifyingly quickly. It's safe, then, to put some thought, and some effort, towards your future. I believe that song is good in the sense that it creates thoughtful provocation but nobody has a way to see the future. WW3 could create a nuclear winter and it would be the end of life as we know it. Have you lived a good life thus far? Is your path aimed towards one? What can you do to steer it? Those are the questions that shouldn't haunt you but shouldn't go unanswered either. Life is short for those who find a way to enjoy it; best things being free is always said by those who don't know the issue relies on access. To healthcare, education, a safe environment. Appreciating the small things can only come after you have a full belly, a safe and warm bed and the peace of mind to enjoy it. Those things have prices, too; not being willing to pay them brings consequences. Like previously stated, many nuances to consider
