That yedlin kid is an embarrassment, anything for a few retweets eh. Lucas has the right to his political opinion just as much as anyone else, it’s embarrassing how our own ‘fans’ are publicly trying to dig him out or forcefully change his opinion by ridiculing him
Imagine if he gets caught over the limit after hitting the communion wine too hard...
These were the 50 most violent cities in the world in 2017
Not sure if this has any relevance but I came across this earlier. 34% of the most violent cities in the world are in Brazil. Goes to show how shit life must be there and possibly give a little insight into why certain extremist political powers are presently being backed

The truth is you won't give a shit what Lucas believes if he keeps delivering on the pitch.
For a more nuanced take, Lucas is a big boy who can make his own political decisions. He clearly believes crime and corruption are the biggest problems facing Brazil. As a result, he's backing the candidate that seems the strongest on those two issues. The candidate has a lot of baggage, but beggars can't be choosers and all that.

The term liberals is also one of these lazy labels.
It’s pretty bad on both sides of the spectrum, the tactics and tone of voice are different. But both right and left are just point scoring non stop, directly or indirectly. This thread has some fine indirects too for instance. Every piece of info, every discussion is the same shit with people not really listening, lots of them not even realising that their opinions are so heavily influenced by the way they perceive the messages,the message and the opposing wings opinion. Is it from the “others” then i immediately oppose it, that type of thinking.
There’s a level of ignorance and indoctrination on a level I ve never seen before, divide and conquer tactics and people just go along with it, left and right.
I completely agree that both sides of the spectrum are just as bad as one another when it comes to point scoring.
However, I will say this, less than 6 years ago I would have considered myself a liberal because in my mind being a liberal means to stand for free speech, it means to stand up for what is right and what is just, it means to listen and debate and refute points with logic and intelligence but after watching the left implode upon itself and trying to censor conversation and police language, trying to ban people and silence voices rather than debate them (even if they are hateful ones, they disagree with) I have to say, it's pretty hard to consider myself liberal these days.
I am more of a centrist now, I find both sides are just as ridiculous as one another when it comes to resorting to cheap tactics, however I would be a complete liar if I said I didn't find the political correctness and virtue signalling of the left to be far more dangerous in terms of social interaction. (Not to mention annoying.)
The far right is easy to combat, I mean, nobody likes blatant racists, white supremacists or any other group such as that, nobody who is sane anyway.
However, the far left hides behind "tolerance" and "inclusiveness" to mask their shady political goals, and they hide behind a sense of virtuous behaviour to hide the reality of their own intolerance and the second anybody calls them on it, they swarm upon them and use silencing tactics.
In the 90s it was the American conservative right that were trying to censor speech and ban things that would go against their puritan vision for the world, sadly now, it's the left which is resorting to these tactics, it feels like a cult in many ways.
Obviously I know not everybody on the left feels like this and the same goes for the right, sane people do exist on both sides, sadly, the minority of these sides hijack the conversation and often are amplified the most, therefore putting an easy image at the forefront to hate.
At the end of the day, we see what we want to see, I am probably just as biased as anybody, I just wish people would accept that sometimes you will disagree with someones views and it's ok not to immediately assume the worst about them. (like in this case with Lucas.)
There’s a lot here that I agree with, but I think part of the problem is the disproportionate balances of power. Historically the right tend to be those who ‘have’, and the left those who ‘have not’ (I’m speaking broadly here). The right tend to have more financial and military muscle, and in recent decades, the media to support them, whereas the left are usually on the side of the marginalised and less capable of defending themselves (which sadly but perhaps inevitably leads to desperate acts of militant retaliation).
Clearly it’s not as simple as that, but generally I see it as the right punching down from a position of power, and the left punching up from a position of weakness. Of course, when the left gains the upper ground their leadership tends to gravitate swiftly to the right, under the pretence of heading a leftist state or regime.
If people with leftist leanings seem to be more sensitive to any support of the right, it’s usually because they feel that they have a lot more to lose.
As for Lucas Moura, I haven’t read anything to suggest he’s about to declare a one-man war on the poor and needy.
Cooooome onnn you spurrrrrrrrsssofficial
He's safely making himself a guaranteed starter with his energy. He's been an extremely good addition for the money it cost us. He's always looking to attack its great to have his directness in our ranks really is becoming a useful asset
Yeah, I agree. I think he was poor tonight but not as poor as Son
Son did literally fuck all, apart from giving the ball away and being offside, awful performance.
Basically, Twitter is where all the pseudo intellectual armchair pundit cesspool of humanity have their day.
