Executive branch(can’t remember their specific name) head of Brazil. His Covid stance has been similar to trump’s and made the news a few times during the pandemic because of the similarity. I presume this is considered newsworthy because it’s an indirect repudiation of trumpist stances on covid

  > I presume this is considered newsworthy because it’s an indirect repudiation of trumpist stances on covid Or - just perhaps - news about somewhere else on earth is newsworthy in its own right?

    some people are still obsessed with a cartoon villain, trump was an a representation of an underlining issue. i think most people who believe trump caused all the woes are fairly young and do not remember occupy wall street, trump showed up got voted in because of an underlining issue that has not gone away, i think once people realize that, which they will. they might actually be angry. unless of course they are not working class people or have never been raised by working class parents. they then may be insulated from normal everyday struggles like trying to provide for a family with a blue collar job, one that use to pay the bills. not everyone had the opportunity to get a college degree. but they are still important to our economy. ignore that as a politician or repeatedly lie to those people and chaos seems to ensue.

      I haven't seen many people blame Trump for many of the broader issues at play (like those brought up back in Occupy times). I think the main criticism was that he was doing things to make it worse, or at the very least, doing nothing to make them better.

Bolsonaro is the president of Brazil. Note: This website "playcrazygame.com" doesn't seem reliable, their "team members" page doesn't even work and their "about us" says they focus on video games.

  > This website "playcrazygame.com" doesn't seem reliable Indeed. I know nothing about that site, and random websites that pop up with political info should be regarded with a lot of scepticism, however it's not hard to find better sources for the story as well, with a swift google: e.g. https://www.reuters.com/world/americas/facebook-takes-down-bolsonaro-video-over-false-vaccine-claim-2021-10-25/ https://www.reuters.com/world/americas/facebook-takes-down-b... https://uk.news.yahoo.com/facebook-youtube-down-bolsonaro-video-063510371.html https://uk.news.yahoo.com/facebook-youtube-down-bolsonaro-vi... And Bolsonaro has form, this was a previous time: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2021/jul/22/youtube-pulls-jair-bolsonaro-videos-for-covid-19-misinformation https://www.theguardian.com/world/2021/jul/22/youtube-pulls-...

Somebody taking bath masses in the middle of a pandemic that killed 605000 people in Brazil while promoting fake treatments among poor and gullible people, "Jesus he knows me" style. And somebody taking pride of chopping down as much Amazon rainforest as possible in the middle of a climatic crisis. Will be probably universally seen as a criminal in the future, but the damage is done (and Youtube is just 'too little, too late').
