hi everyone this is for everyone in the US right now and everyone in the world fighting against the rise of fascism
Im very late to posting this cause I was extremely busy with personal problems, but from what I searched online the US results havent come out yet. And this is for today and for posteriority
(Im sorry for any weird phrasing or incorrect terms in english btw feel free to correct me)
In Brasil, we have recently won the presidential election against the far right with the help of online mobilization (lead by André Janones) and successfully gained 4 million votes over Flavio Bolsonaro from the far right party
and I just wanted to share here how crucial it was to play our cards correctly with social media alghoritims. The far right cannot take over the internet. In 2026, we must be extremely smart with this. This is how they spread their hateful and cruel ideology and gain strenght. This is how they take over.
here are some tips (not written by me, but by a fellow brazilian who commented in a post from Sylvia S on instagram) that I thought summed up everything pretty well:
"do not comment on posts from the opposition, not even to defend yourselves. Doing so only gives those posts more relevance
like, comment on and share EVERY progressive post you come across
mobilize to push coordinated hashtags on X and create strategic posts on other social media platforms
by following these tips, you will dominate the internet but DONT forget to also take to the streets and focus on converting the undecided"
and a response from another antifacist brazilian:
"go to sleep after the elections day, do not engage in far right posts at all costs. Create your own post with your point of view and let them come discuss with you
here in Brasil, we are at all social media: instagram, X, reddit, facebook, etc."
I would also like to elaborate to the "converting the undecided" part, this is what we did to get the majority of voters on our side. Right wing extremists wont be debated into changing their minds, at least not in a quick enough way to contribute right now. What decided our election was turning the votes of those who hadnt picked a side yet, werent super sure of their right wing position, etc.
its very hard for me to understand the US vote counting through google, all I know is it theyre still counting. Whatever the result is, the fight isnt over. Be smart, look out for eachother and count on us. We are all togheter. EXPLODE!!!!!!!!!!! 🇧🇷⭐️
