Ah, this is one of those that can only make me think of how news outlets, especially since in Brazil they're even more tightly controlled and aligned and oligarchic, report on governments from other countries, of political prisoners and messed up stuff going elsewhere(specially if it's in 'countries we dont like' of course), and how it is when it's an 'us' story(and of course put Assange in here too).. And that then it drips down to partially informed ppl that are basically tamed into whatever position interests oligarchs and that it becomes useless to try to discuss anything because information is just not reaching the overwhelming majority of people. That's how you end up with a Bolsonaro. Yeah, sure, democratic/western ideals and blah blah, how about when it's time to put them into practice? I think sadly we all know what happens, and we mostly just look away. To be clear, I'm not talking about any single case in particular, it's more of an essence thing.
