True Political Awareness

The 6x1 scale is about to fall. It will be the current president, Lula, in this April of 2026 when I write this text, who will finally launch the bill to be approved. This is a promise he and his party have made since his first term, back in 2002. And what does this mean??

That I, who should be directly benefited, will have to bow to the great "Brazilian helmsman" and be eternally grateful??

No. But that's what people on the left preach: that specific gratitude is the same as absolute submission. But when a politician serves the population, he is doing nothing more than his duty. He is doing the basics, which every democratically elected politician should do. Furthermore, it is necessary, intelligently, to analyze not only one measure taken by a politician, but in relation to everything he has already done, or at least, to greatly broaden the critical view of him. Preferably, a rational view: objective and impartial. So, based on this approach, it's impossible to treat the current president as the typical PT supporter wants us to treat him: as an extraordinary human being, above all criticism. It's quite clear, for those accustomed to reason, that the PT governments, which have already spanned two decades, present a prevalence of results ranging from ignoble to very negative (increased crime*, continued serious failures in education and health, practically epidemic political corruption...).

*One of the causes of which is the rigging of the judiciary with "anti-punitive professionals" or those forced to act according to laws imposed by politicians of this same ideology.

For true political awareness is precisely about placing oneself above, not below, the political class. Treating them as employees, for what they are, and not as kings, as many of them would like to be seen and treated...

Therefore, treating Lula the way he deserves, according to what he has done, is doing, and continues to do in politics. Tip: nothing close to "based on the perfection of legacy and actions," according to Lula supporters...

Therefore, it's a: "Oh, that's good, Lula... Finally..."

"Thank you (?)"

But...

"...for that reason alone, I will not vote for you in this election (in my case, again), since, if your actions are not limited only to the 'end of the 6x1 scale,' your legacy of more than twenty years of PT governments and, currently, until the first half of 2026, has been much worse than your propaganda."

Furthermore, to conclude, true political awareness requires that we become clever, in a good way, than the politicians we elect or who make up the political class of our country, and not the opposite. In short, to "empower" ourselves as ordinary citizens and not to "empower" them...
