So here's the thing. /r/Brasil, as usually on reddit, is ridiculously leftist. Since that british BIPOC got killed here in the Amazon our banner has been a red banner with the following phrase: ''Ecology without class struggle is gardening.'' That should tell you a bit about the place.
As most leftists places usually are, /r/Brasil is full of infighting and general seething, but we mostly keep to our domestic affairs, so while it's a good piece of drama it's usually hard to contextualize even for people who might know Portuguese as a second language.
And of course, i'm not going to translate all the good drama threads, they easily reach 500+ comments and usually the comments are
However, this drama was so funny I just couldn't not share. I'm still not going to translate shit, i'll just hope Google Translator does a good job.
Anyway, here's the thread.
https://www-unddit-com.translate.goog/r/brasil/comments/10vztng/vejo_muitas_pessoas_com_falas_preconceituosas/?_x_tr_sl=pt&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=pt-BR&_x_tr_pto=wapp
It's so fricking funny seeing people walk on eggshells and STILL get jannied. As you can (probably) see, some of the jannied comments aren't even bad, by any stretch of imagination. Still jannied. Afaik Gypsies turn any European into a Mini Hitler. Seems the hate for Gypsies not only is warranted but it's also something that transcends ideology. We don't have much contact with gypsies here in brazil, so it's not widespread hate as in Europe. But it seems that people that had contacts with Gypsies... didn't like it

The gypsy thing doesn't make sense for non-europeans because it is a very loose form of "racism"
Gypsies aren't an ethnicity. If they just lived in a house and got a job you wouldn't be able to tell they were gypsies, they'd just look like every other frog or kraut or hard-working American or whatever
That means that either you haven't met a gypsy and so don't have any opinion on them based on real-world interaction, or you have met a gypsy and you know you have because they have attempted to do some sort of crime on you, or have destroyed a pub you were in, or burned a car in your yard, or ripped the tiles off your roof
It's like asking people if they have a bad opinion of burglars. Gypsy is a behaviour, not a race

You're talking out of your butt, if you ever saw one in person you'd know that they stand out. They stand out by their behavior, by their language, by their clothes. They're brown for Christ's sake! Similarly if you had met one you'd understand why they are universally hated in Europe. One struggle

our equivalent of gypsies is irish travellers which is basically the same thing, but genetically they're just the same as everyone else. not all gypsies are brown either, like there's no genetic component here it's just cultural and they could just...stop doing this shit

wrong, in the Uk for example they are irish white, there are also many white gypsies in the rest of europe because they frequently kidnap native children and raise them as gypsies. And in southern europe there are also brown-ish natives there that have same color as gypsies but arent gypsies.

in the UK the most common kind of gypsy is irish travellers who are literally just the same genetically as everyone else, like there's zero "race" element it's purely cultural. it's like if you decided to start a drug gang with your friends then claimed it was a vibrant alternative nomadic lifestyle

I think the closest thing burgers have to gypsies are hobos.
Except it's whole families of hobos refusing to consider having a job or living in a house.

Lmao yeah up until very recently /r/Brasil was pro-Russia (not a lot anymore since an UwU trans lives matter! OwO incel supporting Wagner is very awkward), whereas the Brazilian rightoid sub, /r/brasilivre is pro-Ukraine, this is a carryover from the Cold War era when Leftoid movements in Latrine AmeriKKKa were propped up by the USSR, and how Russia still claims to be against AmeriKKKan Imperialism and whitewash the legacy of the USSR, and our rightoids hate Russia since they have close relations with the Satan incarnates of Cuba, Venezuela, Nicaragua, China, North Korea, et all.

Please be aware that /r/Brasil is NOT INDICATIVE of what actual brazilians think.
99% of brazilians are either pro-ukraine or don't think much about it.
Lefties sneed about US imperialism or whatever but only online and in their universirty masturbation groups, because they know they'll get lynched if they defend the fricking russians

The current Brazilian government is neutral, in President Lula's own words in a meeting with the German chancellor: "Today, I have more clarity on the reason for the war. I think that Russia made a classic mistake of invading another country's territory, therefore Russia is wrong, but I still think that when one doesn't want to, two don't fight."

Nibba just look at the countries who are explicitly supporting Russia or who are at least sympathetic to them - Cuba, Venezuela, Nicaragua, China, North Korea, Syria, Central African Republic, South Africa, Zimbabwe, most African countries, out of all of them, Hungary, Serbia, and India (who are only marginally supporting Russia, not outright) are the only rightoid countries who are teaming up with the Cuban, Venezuelan, and African Commies in a spergtastic match of geopolitical autism.
It's funny about how as recently as 2021, rightards and wignats everywhere were using the Holodomor as the peak example of Bolshevik atrocities against Ukrainian mayos, and how the ANC is a black terrorist commie organization genociding mayos and boers from the based Apartheid, but now since the globohomo recognizes the Holodomor, and the ANC is now in buddies with Russia, now they are either in total silence, or did a 360 about it.
Communism is the most evil globohomo ideology in existence, but at the same time the USSR was based and the same Leftoid African countries who are genociding mayos are fighting against globohomo?

Browsing /r/brasil always makes me want to go through a round of chemotherapy afterwards, maybe a lobotomy too. It's probably the most AIDS-ridden portuguese language website in the internet.

I kinda know just by instinct what threads are gonna be absolute heaps of dung. I usually avoid those and open some that may have people going against the NPC crowd.
But sometimes, when it's an obvious leftie L, it's kinda funny to see the heights they'll go to cope. This one is the best example from recent memory.
https://old.reddit.com/r/brasil/comments/10v4kjy/escolheram_assassinar_diz_fam%C3%ADlia_de_jovem_morto/?sort=controversial
Here the coping lefties are the minority and it's ridiculously funny to see how they despair when the circlejerk is broken.
When Lula says some dumb stuff threads tend to be 50/50
But yeah. Chemo. No self respecting person would browse /r/Brasil (or /r/Brasilivire for that matter) unironically. The non political threads are good though, even if some r-slurred BIPOC comes once in a while to push politics in absolutely non-political topics.

In the early 2000s there were a bunch of gypsies over in my city, they just begged constantly and everyone spoke of them stealing but I never experienced or knew someone with whom it happened.
By the early 2010s they were all gone, no idea what happened to them, don't care either.
