If Moro is held up as anti-corruption avatar, and Lula as the apotheosis of corruption, we have a manichean battle of impossible symbols
Making Judge Moro into an idol contradicts a virtue he's supposed to represent: the impersonality of institutions.pic.twitter.com/UdZaslh68M

It's just as wrong to pretend that Lula is a pure hero of the poor and make Moro into a right-wing crusader. Cults of personality all around

On Facebook, some expressing solidarity with Lula by putting up this photo of him arrested in 1980 as profile picspic.twitter.com/fGhl2Jm1af

To equate Lula in 1980—union leader under military regime—with Lula in 2016—millionaire ex-president whose party is in power—is slightly off
-
@alexcuadros brazilian right wing commonly uses the same photo to express the desire to arrest Lula, no matter it was an authoritarian act

Personally I think it's possible to support anti-corruption investigations without thinking the judge in charge of them is Jesus Christ

@alexcuadros This YouTube account belongs to someone called Diogo Mainardi. Ever heard about this dude? -
@serbretas Yes, sadly

@alexcuadros I was JUST THIS SECOND writing about Moro when I saw this. -
@ggreenwald He's being turned into the hero in a battle of good and evil, when obviously things are just a bit more complicated than that -
@alexcuadros That's precisely my point.

@alexcuadros The slogan is written in English, for crying out loud! It's stupid, and says a lot about about Brazil right now. Really a lot. -
@AngelaMilanese@alexcuadros what shop is that? Where? -
@alexcuadros@lucrjviola So a brand in Brazil launches a slogan praising a Brazilian, for things he's doing in Brazil, in English. OK then. -
@alexcuadros@lucrjviola If anyone ask you the meaning of ''coxinha'' just show them this crap.
