they use the second person pronoun (tu and vós)

Actually they typically mix it up and use tu and vocês. Vós is used in certain regions but it’s not the norm.

You’re thinking of the Congo Free State, which existed for 20 years or so but was later annexed by Belgium.

We (Brazil) are the colony. That’s why we move there and not the other way around, because they are rich and we are poor. Right?

Not well is relative. How much is not well?

Well yeah, but you know how people here are, they’ll always say everyone to ever use social justice cultural signifiers to justify something bad in any context was totally cynical because it protects their ability to believe that actually what makes someone a “good” person is sincere attachment to the cultural norms of the Democratic-voting contingent of American society. I do think this is the crux of why they’re so upset with Greenwald over this, because he’s critical of what they see as “good” people, so it’s always good to remind them that that’s not actually how the world works.

Hey, just a teensy little correction so that it’s perfect and there’s no mistake: avô = grandfather, avó = grandmother. The difference is the sound of the last vowel, ô = oh, ó = aw.

The reason I said that is probably not the same as the reason why others here might say that.
