Glenn Greenwald(@ggreenwald):I keep asking all of these American liberal pundits and streamers and YouTube hosts who are sitting around tweeting extremely vehement opinions about the situation in Brazil to come on my show and elaborate on those views -- just for a polite interview to ask them questions about their positions -- but so far none will, because they have no idea what they're talking about, and know that they know basically nothing other than a few inch-deep clichés about Lula, and are only saying the things they know they're supposed to say to keep their followers and subscribers happy. I don't know why silence isn't an option when it comes to topics you know basically nothing about?

@ggreenwald Brazil just happened to be chosen by many Americans as a screen they can use to project their own, domestic political narrative, with no real regard or interest for what's actually happening here. Bolsonaro is not Trump. Lula is not Biden. Et cetera
