This state is anything but stable. The supreme court has become the de facto rulers of this country. For some reason they didn't maneuver against that.

> supreme court has become the de facto rulers of this country Let’s say that’s true. How is this structurally dissimilar from the military being in charge?

  It's not. They are both unelected authoritarian dictatorships. If I must live under a dictatorship, I want it to be a regime that somewhat aligns with my values and interests at the very least. The people in power right now are communists and socialists. It's not even an understatement. Nazis go straight to jail but these socialists walk our soil completely unpunished even though they are far more damaging.

    > continuing to argue with the fascist won't be a productive use of your time They’re informed, coherent and seem to honestly hold their views. I’m genuinely curious about what they have to say, even if I wouldn’t want their policy prescription for my own country.

      It's frustrating for me to see this discussion thread being taken over by dozens of comments filled with fascist lies, and being reminded that there are still nutjobs out there actively plotting to overthrow our democracy. If you really do want to learn more about the Brazilian far-right, there are probably better sources out there than drinking straight out of the fake-news hose.

        Brazil is not a democracy. Not a single brazilian citizen voted for the judge-kings who are now running the country. It's as much a democracy as North Korea. Plus, there's censorship, and censorship equals dictatorship. It's that simple. It's equally frustrating for me when I see the exact same talking points every single thread. It's fine if you don't want to debate the issue. Nobody's forcing you to reply. Do refrain from calling me names though.
