Link to a medium or something, that article is for subscribers only e: Thanks. Also lol that Bolsonaro said the quiet thing loud with his "Democracy only exists because the military lets it." We should have loving abolished it after 1989 like Costa Rica or make it a self-defense force or something Plutonis has issued a correction as of 18:50 on Mar 20, 2019 |

I was never a big 55/brchan browser so I actually never heard of this guy. Found a video on youtube about his arrest and the fact he said he knew he wouldn't get caught because of how inefficient the criminal/justice system in Brazil is made me laugh quite heartily. Also, is it just me or is this extremely online poo poo mostly confined to the south of the country?

This is purely pyrotecnics to try and shore support for Lava Jato and distract from the poor government polling this week. And to bait the Supreme Court, which has been finding some courage against the crazy hijinks of the last years, if only out of self preservation. If they free him (which they should, as it's motivated by nothing in the legal sphere), they come off as corrupt viziers defending thieves, and not as watchers making sure the constitution is followed. Also, it seems that the plea-bargain quote they used to get him was about buying votes for the impeachment in 2016, which is kinda admirable in its brazenness.

The main focus now seems to be getting the STF out of the way somehow. Their approval is already on a pretty low point, releasing Temer at the minimum will help getting more people on the streets chanting "close the STF", like we already had last sunday And the STF cannot avoid this trap, the arrest is absolutely unjustifiable by the law Elias_Maluco has issued a correction as of 19:00 on Mar 21, 2019 |

Halser posted:Can someone explain to a smoothbrained moron like me what's the endgame with this poo poo? Crediting the current crop of howling swine with an endgame is pushing it. But basically, it's brazilian institutions, who have never been that strong or independent to begin with, having a prison shank-fight with each other as the status quo that started in 1988 and buried in poo poo in 2016, finally expires. - Government knows it needs to kill social security and privatize everything if it is to last, but between being a crop of loons and relying on fickle political mercenaries, they are not as steady as their vote count indicated (and many of their voters, who were formerly center-right PSDB types who considered themselves cosmopolitan moderates, are having doubts). So they are doing what they know, which is punching anyone who gets in the way and calling them communists and thieves. There's also the fact that they are stained not with just run-of-the-mill capaign violations and such but blatant involvement with violent militias, financial shitfuckery in stealing the wages of staff, and so on, making many of the key figures dead men walking. -The courts are corporativist to an insane degree and mindful of their privileges, but also turned ideological in the last 10-15 years as their lower officers filled up with neoliberal types once public service got better pay and became a viable career choice. They have rubber-stamped every power of the day since birth, but also have a bit of caution not to shake the building down, since that would mean the end of their gravy train. Now their runaway shitshow, Lava Jato, is basically trying to call the shots and top from the bottom. They literally tried to have a fund of $2 billion given to them instead of returned to its owners, so they could "use it against corruption", meaning funding friendly pols and paying themselves for classes and speeches and poo poo. It went over horribly, fell through, and they are salty as gently caress over it and sending barbs at the supreme court for not backing them. - The Legislative is a joke, by design. Say what you will, the PT is the only real party of size in the country, in the sense that it's an organization with a set following and agenda from north to south. All others are gatherings of convenience that will turn on a dime, shrink or swell as pols flip parties, and basically fall in wholesale to vote for projects if their prices are met. The present bondoggle happens because they are wily enough cowards to know when the ground is shaky, and when times are risky, prices go up. Having to pay them off goes against the New Era discourse of the government, but they'll still do it, if they can keep themselves from imploding (see the Dead Men Walking point above), and no one is sure they will, so things are stalling. -The media is torn. They want the reforms and PT to be erased so bad they could poo poo, since it means a windfall for their allies in the financial sector and the vindication of their 1990s neoliberal mindset. On the other hand, they wanted it to happen at the hands of their chosen enlightened elite scions of the PSDB, not the hooting trolls of the new right, but they know thay can't be picky. They can't -not- report on the gorss malpratcie and crime ties of the new government, as that brings in views, but can't let it get out of control either because it might endanger the Holy Reforms or worse, bring progressives back to power. So they play a weird two-step dance that still gets them called Fake News by our chuds but is unfocused enough that they are not overt enemies of the government. There are some, like the Record Network, owned by a huge evangelical church, that have fully allied with the government and receive exclusive releases and interviews as a result, while Bolso actively denies other vehicles access, leveraging his celebrity. Where it will all lead? gently caress, it's Brazil. No one has a clue.

ok does my paranoid Mourão takeover delusion seem less paranoid every day or is it just me? https://twitter.com/DCM_online/status/1109161976217956353 he's positioning himself closer to centrão and earlier this week he also trolled Olavo calling him "the astrologer from Virginia", clearly the loonies don't please him at all

Then he had his NeverTrump moment and formed an alliance with two former adversaries (Goulart and Juscelino) to try and get a movement gpoing for a return to normalcy, and within a year all three were dead in accident or weird, sudden illnesses.

(I speak Portuguese) For a bit of a snapshot of Brazil in general, before and during the dictatorship(s), Ruy Castro's 'O Anjo Pornográfico' (bio of Brazil's biggest modern playwright whose family was involved in a RIDICULOUS amount of history) is a master-class. If you like soccer, his book A Estrela Solitária is also great.

Smirking_Serpent posted:same thing happened in Romania with Iron Guard being destroyed after the fascists took power. There is a pundit in Brazil called Reinaldo Azevedo who was one of the earliest New Right, Glenn-Beck-clone figures that popped up here, and of course instantly got space in several major publications. His stuff was just insufferable, with plenty of racist and mysoginistic fare to go with the classic "the commies are coming, run!". Easily one of the pioneers that bred the fever swamps that gave us Bolsonaro. Except last year, after he saw the classic neoliberal party flounder and die unmourned by anyone except other media dopes, he realized the fanatics would have no use for him, as they had their own cult of personality and hated print and radio media (since they toelrated the decades of 'socialist' past regimes). So suddenly he became a newly-minted paladin of due process , ranting against the uncouth bungling of the government, and even bemoaning the partial rulings and actions of the Judiciary. Earned him the hate of half of his followers, and the grudging respect of the desperate left. War makes strange bedfellows and all that. The moment some even vaguely viable neoliberal figure dawns, though, we can expect him to return to praising local crazy judges arresting lefties based on crooked plea deals.
