Sorry that I got cut off on the last one.

I agree with this.

right.. it doesn’t feel like our job (or the government’s job) to take this choice away from people.

Don’t complain when your only option is Walmart then.

If you can’t afford to pay your workers fairly, you don’t need to be in business.

That’s standard for any industry that pays overtime.

Nah, fuck this attitude. I will retain to right to criticize nations where the brutal rape of a 15 year old is semi-acceptable. It doesn’t make anyone a racist. If I said it was because of their skin color or some innate part of them, than yeah I would be. But I can criticize other places in the same way I criticize…

Those damned Americans, the root of all that ails every other country. Obviously Brazil was doing great things before the “right-wing coup”. lol

There’s no “right-wing coup” in Brazil, the impeachment is a process accepted and guided by the constitution and Dilma comitted a fiscal crime. Let me remind you that she choose Temer as a vice-president cause his party is the majority in the Congress and Senate and that she teamed up with religious political groups…

US backed? Based on what evidence? The impeachment of Rousseff was widely seen as an attempt to silence the corruption probe into Petrobas and done internally by Brazilian politicians. What does the US gain from Temer that it didn’t have with Rousseff?

I was in Sao Paulo a few weeks ago (arrived the day Dilma got suspended). The people I talked to — all of them liberal and sympathetic to her ideology — said she was just a bad leader who made too many promises.

Currently, Brazilian social media is dominated by the question of whether or not the country suffers from a “rape culture.”

Brazil is not a black-majority population.

It’s nearly 50% white (and depending on exactly what measure you use to define ethnicity, it’s actually as much as 62% white).

That's not to say anything about their many political problems except for your claim that it's a "black majority" population, however.

Dilma was a shitty president. The charges against her were trumped up, but the process was legitimate.

Jezebel also publishes articles that expose the“retrograde culture” of the US, though. There are articles about women’s rights being rolled back almost every week.

US-backed (Obama), right-wing coup in Brazil which has installed a ‘white minority’ government ruling over a black-majority population.

Brazil has been independent since 1822. And even so, i’m not sure what any of that has to do with sexism.

I’m pretty sure you could flip that statement around and it would be more accurate. Dear US: Please look at what Christian control has done in Brazilian politics; it’s a road you do not want to travel.
