Veja is reporting that an "ecoterrorist" organization called SSS (Sociedade Secreta Silvestre, something like "Forest Secret Society") is planning to kill Bolsonaro

https://veja.abril.com.br/brasil/bolsonaro-terror-capa-veja/

The group is supposed to be part of an international group called "Individualistas que Tendem ao Selvagem", based in Mexico

I never hear of any of that before, and it all seems strange, and smells like the plot of a B movie. This is making me feel wary, that this is going to be the pretext for a new AI5

it didn't became a thing yet, which would be kind of a suspicious sign if it wasn't so obvious at this point that the bolsonaros are directly dictating the social media reactions of chuds (like take the recent reaction supporting bolsonaro's son as US ambassador). for whatever reason the online bolsonaros didn't act on this yet, even if it fits the right-wing meme narrative so well.

what I'm trying to say is: there's no organic element on how pro-bolsonaro bullshit is spreading out, it's all coming from a very centralized effort.

This serving both buries the whole "It's all made up, fake content!" spiel, because it includes contacts with media and other parts that are easy to verify, and is WAY more overtly partisan than the others. As in, literally scheming on how to appear on TV shows to slag opposition while avoiding having to talk about the Boss' failson crimes (Answer: skip the interview), while gauging how to secure a supreme court nomination for their outfit by burying inconvenient poo poo

btw nobody cared about these terrorists from Veja threatening to kill the president. because the priority for some time now is to keep propping up the idea of putting Glenn Greenwald in prison.

I seriously think it's 50/50 that it'll work.

One's a DJ (because of loving course), one if a rifle-toting Bolso goon, one is a Dem party affiliate...quite the collection of elite commie cyber-warriors.

It's going to be a coin flip for this lot . Either they'll offer them a sweet deal for 'confessing' to doingit all to sink the righteous new regime for their leftist overloards, or they'll crackdown on them with some terrorism charge to double down on the institutional takeover.

Either way, the minions are happy for the week.

That, AND basically admitted to both planning to destroy investigation evidence and getting access to data that should be available only to the presiding case officer. And sharing it with his chosen people.

I mean, I knew this clown would loving self-destruct the moment he left his little sinecure, but I didn't dare think it'd be this fast or this overt. Still don't think it'll amount to much because, as we've talked, the establishment at large can watch rivers of blood flood their fancy homes waist-deep and as long as you tell them that -some- of it is leftist blood they'll still be cool with it.

A dictatorship concentrates executive power in a single strong leader. Brazil just has a bunch of muppets bumbling around trying to get the minimum done and cover their own arse. The longer Bolsonaro is in power the weaker he looks.

This is not really the case. Muppets or not, they did in 6 months what our oh-so-serious media accudes th labour government of doing the last 13 years: completely infected every power with their nepotist, ideological peers, disarmed or destroyed any institution that balked or that they didn't like, and openly jeered at any thought of propriety, decorum or limits to their agenda.

The violence so far has been mostly in threats or rethoric, yes, but mostly because 1- they are already getting 90% of what they wanted, so of course they aren't happy because they never are, but there's no need to burn it all down just yet, and 2- Thy are already backed by and turning up the background, invisible violence that has been a staple of Brazil since ever with no one who matters really giving a gently caress. Native people being killed and beaten, activists 'disappearing', NGO and even government fiscalization officers being villified, threatened and beaten.

You can be an incompetent dope out of a bad comedy and still be a dictator, even an an efective one, when the institutions are too poo poo to stop you. Just ask Salazar.

not sure about the definition of dictatorship but greenwald getting deported or arrested is definitely gonna be a significant step towards authoritarianism.

the bolsonaros have been step by step getting a lot of people "comfortable" with the idea of bringing justice to greenwald for daring to sully the name of our hero judge moro. if they succeed on it (and let's be honest here, the worst actors in right-wing politics have been succeeding for years now from dilma's impeachment to lula's arrest) they'll just get more and more momentum to push further poo poo.


tl;dr: it's pretty bad now and this is a sign things are about to get way worse
