thanks for this Plutonis, your posts in the South America thread are good. is there any chance that the Supreme Court reinstates Lula or are they just as crooked as the judges in the courts that have convicted him already?

also, evangelicals should not be allowed to vote in any country

Evangelicals should be handed over to the inquisition as heretics.
i'm perfectly ok with outlawing their religion and forcing them to convert to something that doesn't actively wish for the end of the world through supporting bugfuck fascists. i realize that catholic countries aren't immune (poland, italy) but having a sizable evangelical population doesn't help

costa rica also had its evangelical presidential candidate last year. he didn't win but he made it to the second round and got over 30% of the vote anyway. and this is in one of the more stable latin american countries

Mr Bolsonaro, who is currently recovering in hospital after being stabbed during a political rally on 6 September, is known for making offensive, off-the-cuff remarks about women, black people and sexual minorities.

Since his stabbing - by an apparently mentally ill man opposed to his political views - he has risen to 28% in opinion polls and is seen as the most likely candidate to dispute a run-off on 28 October.

absolutely agree. hungary and turkey have already been mentioned. poland, czech republic, slovenia, austria, and australia are well on their way. germany, netherlands, and sweden aren't there yet, but they should come the next election cycle. canada, france, UK, and US have left-wing movements but i doubt any of them will take hold

i know that high finance and fascism go together like peanut butter and jelly, but the big rises and falls in brazilian markets as a reaction to electoral goings on is sickening. first came the markets going up over 2% when it was confirmed lula was going to jail. then it was a similar jump after polls showed bolsonaro with a comfortable lead. now they took a tumble because bolsonaro said that he had no interest in privatizing Petrobras. finance vultures really, really want to feast on brazil

on the bright side, somebody i follow on instagram living in brazil shared these anti-bolsonaro memes and they made my day

Does Brazil have any irredentist claims to a neighboring country like Uruguay or something that Bolsonaro could decide to annex or is he not that flavor of fascist
the brazilian junta actively supported fascist movements in uruguay and bolivia (with uruguay, they threatened to invade if they elected a government they perceived as leftist), they helped out with the overthrow of allende in chile, and they were the ones that started Operation Condor. so bolsonaro probably isn't going to annex anybody but you'd better believe he'll try and make this a continental movement

it goes without saying that the US encouraged this behavior at every turn, and even made tanks and weapons available to the people who originally overthrew the government to create the junta (they didn't need the offer). so with trump there will be more encouragement
