Because there are lots of real leftists in Brazil that usually get lumped in with the "leftists" of the revisionist parties.

"and then they shot the flyers in self defense..."

That is indeed the right option.

Well, I do not know any websites or anything like that, but in the newspaper Folha de São Paulo there are many news about the strike (although they are basically one-sided agains the students).

Also, I think that the state governor, Tarcísio de Freitas is way more responsible for this than Haddad, since Carlotti, the Dean of the University of São Paulo, wants to be part of the Department of Education of the state of São Paulo, so he is pretty much invested in being "tough" on those "students that only want to cause chaos" or whatever because Tarcísio is basically a "far-right centrist" (he wants to privatize everything and he applauds police brutality, but he tries to not be seen as fash).

edit: I think my poor english made this sound kinda weird, so I'll rephrase it:

Tarcísio de Freitas, state governor of São Paulo, is fash. Carlotti, Dean of the University of São Paulo, wants to cozy up with the fash to get a job in the government. As such, Carlotti is very invested in not appearing weak to "rioters" and as such it will be pretty hard to force him into negotiating.

They literally have cut a part of the interview with one of the protesters, exactly when she said that "parents should choose what to teach their children, even if it is...", now, what was she going to say that they do not want us to hear?

edit: they even played the same clip twice just to show us that they don't care that we know that they removed a part of the clip.

edit2: also, one of the interviewed people said called the counterprotestors "sodomites".

edit3: one guy even said that "this is a christian nation, that is why you have freedom of speech" and said that "this is caused by sin".

edit4: bruh, one guy complained that when he was in school students were expelled for "not complying with a trans student's pronouns". I mean, if you do racist stuff you get expelled, so why shouldn't you be expelled for being transphobic? It is easy to use the right pronouns.

I think maybe OP is not good at english and is expressing himself poorly. Maybe the war is a part of the agenda of the meeting.

(source: I'm bad at english and I have a lot of experience in expressing myself poorly)

I agree. By being confrontational from the beginning, OP would be definetly a bad person. Only be confrontational if they become confrontational. If they start saying bullshit, just argue calmly and respectfully.

I wouldn't go to this extreme because some places are too sparsely populated for any type of public transport, but cars in general should be abolished in all urban and most rural areas in my opinion.

They would definetly be nice as substitutes to gasoline cars in rural areas, but in cities they would be pretty useless for the average person if we had good urban planning or good public transport or both.

Who is Vanilla Ice?

when you are so anglo that you can't even read numbers with a different separator.

Didn't you just describe cops?
