> anti-“imperialist west” (cough cough America) sentiment There's a difference between fringe rhetoric and actions. The only countries more pro-American than Brazil in polls are America and India [0], and ironically, the Anti-American rate is higher in America than in Brazil (where there's a large neutral/indifferent cohort in polls). In general, pro-American sentiment is somewhere between 63-73% in Brazil [0][1] Most political "anti-American" rhetoric in Brazil is due to agrarian protectionism - the same as India - as regional BigAg are major political player in both countries. Most Brazilians in the diaspora who can immigrate will immigrate to the US. American companies and Brazilian companies have very close relations with each other (ever had a Budwesier, Blue Moon, Burger King, or Popeye's? They're majority owned by Brazilian PE funds). Finally, most of the underlying support for Lula comes from his "Bolsa Familia" program in the 2000s. This lie of Brazilian or Indian anti-Americanism only went into overdrive on Reddit and then HN because of their indifference to the Russia-Ukraine war, as they have investments in both sides.
