Militias formed by military policemen and firefighters control access to goods and services in periferic neighborhoods of Brazil's major cities, notacibly in Rio. They charge for gas (the one used for cooking), ilegal public transportation, illegal cable TV (called gatos), and extort money from businesses and private citizens alike in protection rackets.

How do you survive?

I agree with the sentiment that there will be no major political discontinuities for the amusement of gleeful rubbernecking gringos. There will be a lot of suffering, legitimization of death squads, marginalization of minorities, even greater influence of the worse breed of neopentecostais on politics. But no great spectacle, probably. Hopefully.

Oh, well-off people in the US will probably travel to Brazil to stay at resorts while it's going on. "Oh, Rio is so much nicer now that the poors, blacks and criminals have been cleared off the streets with fire hoses and/or interned. Remember how dirty is used to be before the death squads?"

Not sure how pointing out a fact makes him dumb. Care to explain.

Given that I rejected the war from the first murmurs that the Bush regime was thinking about it has always made me a bit wary of berating from people who naively supported it before waking up and realizing they were suckers. "Oh, I lost my innocence when I realized my government lies!" lol. Greenwald is fine, whatever, but he doesn't need his every utterance or mistake defended. He's a big boy and a serious journalist.

The Congress today is good for nothing, they only vote in favor of the president's projects. If he is the person who makes the decisions, who calls the shots, who laughs at the Congress, then start the coup at once, and let's make this a dictatorship.

Also there is a lot of volunteers eager to do this job spontaneous, the police just have to look the other way. People have already started to feel like they can kill gays and trans people

Plus there's the militias, which the bolsonaros defended and even tried to make legal. I expect we will see quite a boom of RJ-like militias all over the country and they will do a good part of the dirty work

What this is really reminding me of is post-coup Honduras, where suddenly all this police and vigilante action was being undertaken to combat narcos but in the process of making Honduras the murder capital of the world a ton of the dead just happened to be left wing activists and union organizers. Weird.

Yes, but most of that astroturfing is the basic stuff that is in no way dependent on the apparently magical powers of cambridge analytica. Dumping money on fake think tanks and "student's for liberty" stuff is as old as the cold war, and creating fake stuff for whatsapp is super easy and there are literally dozens of agencies that do it in Brazil. Im not questioning the underhanded astroturfing part. Im questioning the specific cambridge analytica angle.

Not to mention that the American liberal establishment normalizing the impeachment played at least as big a role here as any of this stuff in de-legitimating the left.

In a speech Bolsonaro said the country cannot "continue to flirt with socialism, with communism and with populism and with the extreme left." After his victory he pledged he would respect democracy and the constitution.

President Donald Trump has vowed to work closely with his Brazilian counterpart on trade and military issues.
