That was not the point I was making. In any case your point applies to defying the monarch too, which might be more applicable here.

- jrflowers 2y agoThis would be more applicable if Brazil had a monarch after 1889. Calling a judge that you don’t like a king does not make him one.
- crop_rotation 2y agoBy this absurd logic calling the "Democratic People's Republic of Korea" a dictatorship does not make it one.
- jrflowers 2y agoKim Jong Un’s title is Supreme Leader, General Secretary of the Workers' Party of Korea, Chairman of the Central Military Commission of the Workers' Party of Korea, President of the State Affairs of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea and Supreme Commander of the Armed Forces of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea Are you suggesting that he is also a member of the Brazilian supreme court?
- crop_rotation 2y ago> Are you suggesting that he is also a member of the Brazilian supreme court? I never suggested that. He is member of Korean institutions defined by Korean constitution, similarly how this judge is of a Brazilian Institution. Neither means there titles bear any similarity to what they are doing or what power they are exercising.
- jrflowers 2y agoYour reasoning is that if we look at the history of North Korea we will see that it has been a dictatorship since its inception, and similarly if we look at the history of Brazil we will plainly that it has not in fact ever been a republic and this is evidenced by the fact that Twitter is blocked? I do not understand the impulse to evoke a completely unrelated thing to try to make a conceptual argument against a fact that you do not even attempt to directly refute. Brazil does not have a monarch. If you believe that Brazil is a monarchy, I encourage you to expand on what you think a monarch is both in terms of power and historical context.
