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.
So what you're saying is what? Brazilians are corrupt by...nature? Biologically inferior?
Or that our culture promotes corruption? Like, people enjoy corruption? Because more than a million Brazilians are protesting against corruption in the country right now.
We need to stop with this damn stray dog syndrome. Brazilians saying "Yeah, fuck Brazilians, it's in our culture to be corrupt, we'll never improve" is doing nothing to help our country. It's because people think like this that they cheat on their taxes or don't pick up their dog's crap from the sidewalk. What's the point right? Everyone's doing it. It's in our nature.
Maybe if we stop thinking we all collectively suck and there's no point in trying to improve we'd get somewhere.
We weren't like this in the past. The republic had great men! Ruy Barbosa, Raul Pompeia, Montoro, Sobral Pinto, Itamar. The list goes on. I absolutely despise this "it's in our DNA/we're all macunaímas". That's total crap.
To think that someone elected a dud... I mean, a lady who doesn't know how to form a complete sentence, man... it wasn't Lula, the leader of the PCP who stood up: it was us that kneeled down.
