Jones Manoel compared Flávio Bolsonaro's interview on Rede Globo to the presidential debate of 1989 between Fernando Collor and Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, which, according to him, the network manipulated to favor Collor. Manoel stated that the interview was not a rigorous inquiry but a public relations effort for Bolsonaro, asserting that the candidate was able to lie and evade questions without being challenged. As an example, he cited Bolsonaro's statements about the 6x1 scale and about not cutting pensions, the BPC, the minimum wage, health, and education. Manoel claimed that the interview presented a candidate as a defender of workers who, according to him, supported measures against Pix, pensions, the BPC, the minimum wage, the SUS, and education. He also criticized the lack of questioning regarding the subordination to the United States and about proposals attributed to people close to Bolsonaro, such as ending Pix, handing over rare earths to the United States, and allowing the presence of American military personnel in Brazil. The author said that the owners of Rede Globo had lunch with Bolsonaro that morning and asserted that the interview had apparently been arranged. According to Manoel, the candidate appeared calm and would already know the questions. He accused the network of defending the interests of the elite and imperialism and supporting Bolsonaro, to whom he attributed the promise to end investigations into Banco Master and prevent punishments for what he called the greatest fraud in the history of Brazilian capitalism. #1989 #Mídia #PolíticaBrasileira (translated)

Verônica Domingues criticized those who classified her as a liberal feminist, saying that this position reflected ignorance and bad faith. She defined liberal feminism as a movement that believes it is possible to emancipate women through gradual reforms in capitalism and patriarchy. In contrast, she stated that she supports a socialist revolution to overthrow both systems. Regarding pornography and prostitution, Domingues said these issues should be reconsidered in a different model of society. According to her, in the current context, opposing prostitution meant being against prostitutes. She also accused her critics of directing more attacks at her than at macho men and said they were unaware of her life and the reasons that led her to virtual prostitution. #Feminismo #Socialismo #Revolução (translated)

Verônica Domingues stated that she never advocated for nudity as empowering or revolutionary and said that, as a Marxist, she did not consider any individual action capable of promoting a revolution. For her, showing breasts was an expression of sexuality or part of her work with adult content, and no work would be empowering under capitalism. The author said that blaming women for their objectification for wearing short clothes or posting nude photos was misogynistic, and emphasized the importance of consent. Regarding publishing images with a Lula sticker during the campaign, she assessed that this would probably not change votes, but argued that art did not need to have only a utilitarian purpose. Domingues also stated that she used other social networks, including Instagram and TikTok, to raise awareness and bring the left closer to Marxism. She criticized radical feminists who, according to her, treated sex as immoral and scrutinized the bodies of women who consented to appear nude. She also said that the revolution depended on the collective organization of the working class, not on showing or covering breasts. #Feminismo #Marxismo #DireitosDasMulheres (translated)

Hayy added that these people still lectured others on morals. #hipocrisia #sociedade #contradicao (translated)
