Dias posted:It's a bunch of bots plus the loud minority that went 100% Full Fash. A lot of people voted for Bolsonaro but most of them just bought into the hard stance against crime and anti-corruption (which is also anti-PT/left) discourse. its cool how the We Need A Tough Guy poo poo still works even though all it produces is people who sell the country off and weaken it, over and over. wonder if we'll ever get a peron style genuine nationalist again

did the NSA leaks lead to the government wanting to exercise control over the paper or something?

cool read, this stuck out: http://www.brasilwire.com/brazil-solidarity-initiative-editor-daniel-hunt-speaks-at-uk-parliament/quote:Most importantly, it needs to be plainly understood that Bolsonaro was placed in a winning position ONLY through the last minute removal of the leading candidate, political prisoner Lula da Silva, who was jailed for 12 years on a nonsensical charge by Bolsonaro’s own Justice Minister to be, in a joint operation in collaboration with the US Department of Justice. the hell happened there

Yinlock posted:shockingly, the guy who said he loves fascism dissolved the government and made himself forever king on day 1 of his regime I don't know what this is about but if it's about bolsonaro it's wrong. He doesn't need to since the people backing him have control of the media, the judiciary and legislatures due to the jailing, suppression and couping of the opposition These people have gotten really slick at putting the figleaf of democracy over their coups

Kurnugia posted:regime factions are probably going to use this as an excuse for settling internal power struggles and that'll be it. I don't think public corruption (even blatant like brazil) nowadays rarely leads to anything without a regime faction backing a purge i assume unless its left wingers doing the corruption, in which case they get coup'd

Symbolic Butt posted:meanwhile in the US he keeps showing up on Tucker Carlson to complain about PC culture going wrong and dumb poo poo like that. that is absolutely not what he does. the closest to that is he's firmly against deplatforming right wingers on youtube/twitter/whatever on the grounds of being against corporate censorship, which is a take that people can have a reasonable argument about most of the smears against him tend to be from the same circle of pro imperialist liberals levelling the same kind of garbage you see thrown at bernie or corbyn or whoever and anyone falling it is dumb as hell.

i think greenwald's one of the best journalists of our age and consistently a thorn in the side of the most powerful people of the world trying to make our lives worse. anyone falling for shrieking liberal cancel culture weaponized by cynical pro imperialist turds should probanly reconsider

They have to walk out of it on their own, through life experience, curiosity and social pressure. Hell, I was a lib and it wasn't until some hard knocks from life that I broke out of it. its true. i'd probably be a low info lib of some sort if my finances and job prospects hadn't been destroyed in 2008
