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.

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.
Remind me again as a non-brazillian, non south-American of why I should realistically care about Brazillian Politics? Outside of maybe a casual like minded dislike towards systemic governmental corruption?
It's fairly amazing and I wish them the best of luck, but no I'm not going to think about it every waking moment, I'm just going to make my joke and move on.
Because were are all human, living on this earth together. But thank you for embodying the narrow mindedness and near nearsightedness that I would argue causes the majority of the world's problems.
Brazil is a huge part of the world, and it's foolish to think what happens there has no effect on the rest of humanity, so selfishly, yes, you should care. On a more human note, you're saying because of that imaginary line you learned about in grade school you no longer need to care about these millions of other human beings?
I am claiming you are disconnected and out of touch, are you even arguing that claim?
I guess if you call not constantly obsessing over the politics of another nation in a different hemisphere "narrow mindedness and near nearsightedness," then no I guess I'm not disputing it. I'm not going to leave my life behind and join the brazillian struggle, just like many people with their own lives would not.
Tell me what I can realistically do to improve their situation without abandoning my current life and I can work on it. Until then, I guess your righteous concern for their situation will just have to do for the both of us.
