Supreme court members weren't democratically elected. The aristocratic families that own the Brazilian political system and pull the strings behind the curtains weren't democratically elected. Even Maduro, self-appointed "dem

Which law? No law says that. Also worth to notice that X closed it's office and fired everyone in Brazil because they threatened to arrest its employees which is absurd considering they have no administrative authority or technical cap

What remains of justice when the judge is also the vindictive victim and the accuser? Recently the press published message leaks indicating wrong conduct from Moraes or at least from his minions. In one of the messages they even cogitated —

A billionaire against a violent trillionaire state. What is mightier the pen or the sword?

What are the nuances of "jailing individuals without trial"?

It makes no sense to destroy democracy in the name of defending it. To accept contrary opinions or beliefs at the same is doublethink, a symptom of political alienation. Beware that you might be the fascist. Given time Jesus will return our

What extremist anti-democratic movement lead by Bolsonaro? The guy was president during pandemics with strong popular and military support. The facts are that he had the bread and the knife and yet no coup was attempted while he was in powe

Baselessly blaming the CIA or the US is a common narrative among SA leftists. Reality: A population desperate to get rid of a brutal dictatorship despite all challenges voted in the opposition candidate. Narrative: The US is conspiring to c

The government controls the .ve namespace. If it is a domain name issue then it was intentional unless there's evidence of all .ve domains being compromised.

I disagree because the context is a flagrant election fraud by a government that is well-know to be malicious.

Anyone calling that a "murderous coup" is just repeating narratives without thinking and/or just haven't lived enough to know what a real "murderous coup" is. For context this is what a coup attempt look like a

Perhaps we should ban drills and other tools because the State will provide everything.

by lobocinza 2y ago
So those that buy drills are constantly living in fear that they have to drill a hole in a wall? Maybe they buy because: 1- they want to prepared to an eventuality; 2- it's a cool tool to have.

Brazil and Latin America share culture, genes, language, history, religion, laws and much more with Europe. It's nonsensical to say that Brazil and Latin America aren't Western. What's your criteria? Income per capita? Your w

If you consider South America to be America, I can say that Brazilians constantly live in fear despite strict gun control laws and criminals have no trouble obtaining whatever they want.

Like Brazil, right? Very hard to own a gun unless you're a criminal.

Brazilian government locks users out of their content. Attacks on information access and free speech are becoming the norm in Brazil.

Doing business in Brazil also ain't easy for nationals. Too much regulation, too much corruption, too much risk. As the saying goes: "For my friends, everything; for my enemies, the law." To invest in Brazil one needs to be p

Yep. Also GDP is not a good metric for prosperity. When governments print more money and increase government expenditure like Brazil is doing right now it leads to an increase in the GDP which by no means mean that the economy is doing good

Nonsense, a complete fanfic. Growth in GDP in his first mandates was due to an historical commodities boom that surpassed his government disastrous policies and widespread corruption. Debt increased. He was imprisoned due to corruption. Lul
