If you've been paying attention to Jair Bolsonaro, you probably know this is circus peanuts compared to the real problems in Brazil.

Yeah, this appears to be some right wing all-American "oh, Lula is socialist!" fear-mongerer...

You can't just say something like that and not elaborate. Tell us about the problems of our country.

The west is shaking because Brazil is part of the BRICS? Do they want to un-BRICS them? Too big? Let's split? I heard they feel the same about the USA

> Brazil is part of the BRICS

I wonder why people include Brazil in that group to this day.

Brazil is the only country in that group without a real high tech industry. It's the only one which never developed nuclear weapons or ballistic missiles. It's the only one without a real space program. It's not even got much of an economy these days.

Brazil is basically the world's soy farm and natural resources depot.

Amnesty International had a few words to say on it: https://www.amnesty.org/en/latest/news/2021/10/mil-dias-bols...

Bolsonaro? He's been gone for over a year now. Literally banned from politics, persecuted. He'll likely be in prison by the end of the year. Forget about him. Let's discuss current issues. I wonder what that think tank has to say about human rights now since they helped replace him with literal communists.

Flagged. Propaganda from far right extremists groups in Brazil. They are trying to create this narrative because they are being criminally prosecuted for crimes related with Bolsonaro's coup attempt. Several of them had social media content removed, as is allowed by Brazilian law, because of illegal content (hate speech, threatening, unbased defamation and irregular electoral propaganda) all related with the coup attempt. The same laws are equally applied against all the political spectrum, but suddenly, when they are used against them after a botched coup attempt, they say that this is "dictatorship".
