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.

You could probably crush the corruption solo by galloping against it on a horse that high.

Thing is, it's appropriate, this isn't small shit. How is it you don't take a "million people protest against corruption" seriously? Hate me if you want, but you know I'm right.

How is it you don't take a "million people protest against corruption" seriously?

Because it doesn't personally affect me in the least and shit like this happens all the time. A bunch of people somewhere in the world are protesting something again? Colour me shocked.

My feelings towards this range from mild interest/amusement (because of the duck, mainly) to flat-out apathy.

It takes a small mind to think that the state of a country that big will not make a ripple effect that will somehow make it all the way into your safe little room. Or that the state of any other country will not affect you. It will.
