I wasn't that kind of person who cares much about the political issues in my country, but in these two years I started to..., probably because I have graduated from college and began to live in the real world. When I realized the politicians in my country care only about their own interests, and did and said things that are against the greatest benefit of the society, I felt angry and helpless. Although it's always the issue in human history, I feel like it's the worst in current society. Look at the incumbent politicians, who really puts the country before anything?
What's your opinion in this respect?
I'm very interested in politics and try to stay updated. My country has been going through a major political upheaval in the last few years and I think many people have started to care more about politics, in a way they didn't before. However, this awakened interest has resulted in a stark division among the public. Some groups have become very intolerant towards different political opinions. It's somewhat difficult to publicly stand up for my liberal political views, because others are conditioned to insult and debase anyone who holds liberal opinions. Conservative views are currently being enforced by the government and endorsed by the mainstream media, and liberal opinions are not even addressed in the public debate, they are simply discarded despite the fact that a significant part of the population is liberal-leaning.
@Pasha, "from Brazilian guy" I believe that the guy in question was me...
Yes, Pasha, even that Augusta gave a different point of view of how she perceives the political situation in Brazil, obviously is her right to think how she expressed, I don't agree and stand with my last statement, that conservatives like me don't have voice in our country and that liberals are the ones who media give space to talk about their agenda, ideas and stuff. In Brazil, the mainstream media is obsessed about minorities, political correctness and stuff and most of the hosts of the shows are SJW's, so I don't watch most of the channels anymore as it makes me sick...
So, I'm not trying to be the owner of the truth, my opinion is not better or more important than Augusta's... She fells like she described and I feel the exact opposite about the political situation in our country that, in my point of view, have no "good side" to rely on... as I said IMO...
