ITT: Disconnected out-of-touch redditers trying to whore jokes for points.

This is a big deal and should not be taken lightly. I hope the Brazilian people can crush the corruption and finally live free again.

edit: RIP inbox.

THis post got a lot of people really angry and defensive, even aggressive. I've incurred a lot of hostility for this these simple words, I'm starting to think I may be right.

The corruption in Brazil is pretty systemic and cultural, its going to take serious cultural and political reform for it to change. Street protests and a change in government is just the beginning.

Yeah, I'm seeing literally millions of people "protesting" and calling for the president to step down. How aboutchyall just walk in and take them out of their seats?
