Why are you so obsessed with Bolsonaro?

He was no fascist dictator like you portray him, the fact of the matter is that enough Brazilians voted for him in 2018.

Everything must be fine for Bolsonaro since he's hidding in Florida. "I did my best".

On Twitter, more than 10,000 accounts have shared the phrase "Festa da Selma" - a pun on an expression evoking a "war cry party" - since Friday, according to the researcher Arcelino Silva Neto, from the University of Sao Paulo. A thinly veiled message calling on Jair Bolsonaro activists who believe Brazil's election was rigged to come to Brasilia to show their displeasure, just as "Stop the steal" had been the watchword of American rioters in the January 6, 2021.

On Telegram and on WhatsApp, more than slogans, the demonstrators exchanged practical instructions: maps of the Brazilian capital, addresses of meeting points, itineraries, advice... In pro-Bolsonaro groups , Brazilian journalists were able to document dozens of messages giving the routes and schedules of "freedom caravans", buses made available to take protesters to the capital, located in the heart of the country, far from major cities.

On Instagram, TikTok or Telegram, the rioters also broadcast numerous sequences taken from inside official buildings, sometimes posing in the offices of civil servants or elected officials, or filming, in shocking images, police officers seeming to be their send signs of encouragement. In the afternoon, the Brazilian Supreme Court ordered all major social networks to block messages inciting violence.

I asked a question.

im not sure if nuking brazil is a good idea because it would destroy the rainforest, but its on the table.

and you got your answer. the fact that it wasn't a simple "yes" (which would have been a lie since it was a highly politicised "trial") tells you even the hacks have at least an inkling of what went down there...

the nazis weren't socialists, and neither were the USSR communist.

but interestingly both used an alliance with the socialist movements in their country to take power before killing off the socialists in their ranks to take total power. interestingly as well the Nazis made common cause with the German communists pre-WW2 to gain power, before killing them off too and banning their and all other parties.

socialists at the time were anti-govt, and believed science was nearing a point where politics should be abolished and science should guide society. modern socialists are of the same mind with regards to science but want to maintain the political state to facilitate scientific rule. the original system just didnt jibe well with either Nazi warhawk Germany nor the deeply corrupt authoritarian oligarchy of pre-WW2 russia.

sounds like the "nazis" were practicing cancel culture

but then have big government that lies about the science and cancels anything that questions it.

the nazis were posterboys for cancel culture, but they didnt deplatform a podcast, they rolled in and murdered everyone.

and they used their money to create "science", such as phony ways to tell if someone had jewish ancestors, then kill them for it.

been plenty of talk from the left bout sending people to camps. ..........
