The early days of Facebook gave rise to ‘Lad’ websites that posted photos of women in bikinis, shared funny videos and made memes about sport.
Websites like LadBible and Joe have gone different routes since, choosing bland hair brained politics instead.
None moreso than today’s headline about Brazilian footballer Lucas Moura, which declares:
‘Lucas Moura criticised for airing right-wing views and comparing communism to Nazism’.
The Mirror ran an almost identical one:
‘Tottenham star Lucas Moura airs right-wing views and compares communism to Nazism’
The Daily Mail wrote:
‘'Communism is nothing different from Nazism': Tottenham star Lucas Moura broadcasts his right-wing stance ahead of Brazil's election in October... admitting President Jair Bolsonaro comes 'closest' to his beliefs’
Communism objectively killed far more people than any ideology in the history of the world.
Are these media outlets truly shocked that someone would point out the violent nature of Communism? Or are they sympathetic to Communism themselves and seek to defend it?
British media outlets are possibly angry at his comments where he identified as a ‘Right Wing, Conservative, Christian’, saying:
‘'I have no problem giving my opinion on this I am a right-wing conservative, I follow Christian and family principles”.
Moura slammed pro Communist candidate Lula and rightly pointed out the disgusting ideology's bloody history.
“Left-wing ideology, socialism and even Communism which is nothing but Nazism. Supporting Lula is almost impossible.”
