This is the excuse of the impeached Workers Party ex-government. With a touch of fascism - "the foreigners are the real danger!!!!!11111".
The other excuse was that "corruption is small compared to the GDP". (And what about the chilling effects?)
- coliveira 9y agoIf you don't believe that Shell/BP can buy politicians to have easy access to oil, you should better get acquainted with the politics of other countries [0]. This is the first thing I thought about when I heard about big oil reserves in Brazil.

- badosu 9y agoDude, this hapoens and is not as negligible as you imply. Sure, there's an agenda to appeal for a certain rhetoric, but you must accept some facts.
- marcosdumay 9y ago> The other excuse was that "corruption is small compared to the GDP". Well, we already know as a fact that at least in Brazil the excuse is wrong. There's a long time that I don't hear it, so I guess people can't even deny anymore. The new excuse is "but look, the people that inherited the power do it too, and nothing is happening to them". So, back to good old whataboutism.
