🇧🇷 HOW FASCINATING. HOLLYWOOD’S MILLIONAIRES HAVE DISCOVERED WHAT’S BEST FOR BRAZIL. Tilda Swinton, Javier Bardem and Mark Ruffalo, celebrities enjoying extraordinary wealth, freedom and the luxury of buying almost anything their hearts desire, are apparently very keen to tell ordinary Brazilians how they should vote. All in the name of “democracy,” naturally. How fascinating that people living behind the comfortable walls of privilege can lecture families thousands of miles away about their political future, without having to live with the consequences themselves. One does wonder: Would they be quite so enthusiastic about Lula’s Brazil if they actually had to live there? Perhaps they should swap Hollywood for Brazil’s impoverished northeast, where Lula has traditionally enjoyed his strongest electoral support. No red carpets. No Hollywood bubble. Just everyday Brazilian realities. IT’S REMARKABLY EASY TO ROMANTICISE POLITICS WHEN SOMEONE ELSE HAS TO LIVE WITH THE RESULTS. 🇧🇷
