I think we can amend the thread title - how interesting that it’s so similar to the fake astro-turf “protests” we’re seeing in the US:
Brazil’s president Bolsonaro joins a protest that asks for a military coup, in front of Brasília’s army headquarters. People in the crowd demand closing Congress and Supreme Court.
The logic & communication is crucial here: Bolsonaro makes it look as if he is a bystander to this, merely responding to public demand. The reality is that protesters have been carefully & systematically induced by the government’s propaganda machine. There is no coincidence here
Some lads here will be calling him a woke communist in light of this.
To the best of my knowledge Brazil has a federal system a bit like the US and it’s state governors or mayors that have the final say on lockdowns and the like.
One of those ‘conspiracy theorist’ podcasts predicted that russia would try this. The smart move really. They should just call it the rouble and be done with it.
Looks like Mr. Bolsonaro is going to have to stage a Trump style coup if he wants to stay in power. He desperately tried to suppress the vote in Lula supporting areas today by getting the traffic police and the army out.
It looks very much like it has been in vain. Results seemingly inexorably moving in Lula’s favour.
One of the few things you ever imagine being raised in the arsehole of the boglands is pinting with a few lads originally from the Favela after they popped back from voting a pig ignorant cunt out. You’d also realise what a gutless shower of cunts we are in comparison.
