Police officers just hanging around while the protesters trash the placePurge. Now. If he doesn't he'll be couped or even worse killed before his term is over.
he's a lib lmao but yeah, just a freudian slip I suppose
maybe he's leaning into the sino-soviet split angle lol
Turning a knob that says "Marxism" on it and repeatedly looking back at Xi in the audience.
Sure, but Israel calling Stalin antisemitic doesn't dampen their relationship with China. I am just saying China knows how Trots are, Xi's reaction would probably be "Trots am I right?"
Stalin is the greatest world leader in history in terms of proportion of good decisions to bad ones.
Could we get a link for this?
old trot habits die hard lmao. Based that he corrected himself tho
The man was literally friends with Chavez. I think he knows to purge at this point. The question is how far can he go?
Says some 40 buses of Bolsonaro supporters brought in for today's demonstration have been detained and they are looking into who paid for them.
lmao. Even more hilarious than the January 6th one.
is this just going to be a yearly event on a rotating stable of dumb bourgeois democracies now? :michael-laugh:
It's been two years, so maybe it'll rotate between cold and warmer places like the Olympics?
PLEASE let someone tazer themselves in the balls again inducing a heart attack
I think there were 4 deaths Jan6- any deaths for Jan8? I guess it doesn't 'help' that congress wasn't in session
:seen-this-one:
:seen-this-one:
:seen-this-one:

lmao like I always say, we're the poor man's US... this is our Jan 6 right there! Let's goooo
My predictions: nothing will come out of this. Some of the hogs and the middle managers, so to speak, will be prosecuted over the next year, Bolsonaro will probably be sued or something like that, and whoever paid for the tens of buses that were hired to take these morons there will get away with it, scot-free. In other words, just like what happened in the US.
We are a shitty carbon copy of the US, and have been ever since the military dictatorship which was aligned with American interests. After the military stepped down, the worst offenders were amnestied, which was the big mistake.
The collusion of security apparatus in this case is concerning though. Like only send on police officer on horse to stop the protesters. That’s not incompetent, that’s on purpose and seem like this was engineer from Florida to remind Lula who’s in charge
so, in brazil the military police of each state is sort of the personal army of the governors. and the governor of the federal district (it's like DC except it has a senator) is a bolsonarista. he's, like, the last guy to get the memo to stop being a dumbass and jump ship for four years. so he's the one responsible for this clusterfuck. with federal intervention declared the governor's powers in respects to state security were circumvented. everything was dispersed pretty quickly after that.
like running to florida is really bad long term because the us will give you over like no doubt about it if it ever gets to an actual court like bolsonaro is not in a good spot because as soon as the criminal indictments start rolling the us will follow their extradiction treaty with brazil
Waiting for Ron Desantis to start an international conflict because he won't give up Bolso
Florida is home to a lot of evil fuckers in a way that only Washington DC Area approaches, and those guys are there because the power is there. Florida is where they choose to be.
like a fun fact about the brazilian capital is that it was built in the 50s and founded in 1960, so this is actually a really easy place to defend, like it was planned around this, there is a negative chance this wasn't on purpose someone high up is gonna get fucked by this they literally couldn't get in if the police was doing their job
Looks similar to maidan? Do they have any funding to drag this out?
Maidan's success was contingent on the fact that huge quantities of money were poured into the protests to keep all the people from going home, food stalls, places to sleep and music/bands were brought in to ensure that things just kept on going.
No, the US is against this "coup". The military police have already arrested many of them, the Supreme Court and Congress have said they still support Lula. The president declared a state of emergency, and now the police are under his orders in place of the pro-bolsonaro Governor. Lula called them nazists and fascist so they should be treated as criminals.
Parts of the police and the military were on the side of the gov in Ukraine, until it was dangerous enough for Yanukovich to decide between staying and dying like gaddafi or fleeing.
The maidan protest leaders were nazis and fascists too. I think the right will try to play this the same way. They don't need the US if they have domestic millionaires/billionaires that will fund the right kind of help.
Most of the liberal (right-wing/center right) media, politicians and rich people sided with Lula during this crisis. The Brazilian army will not act without the support of the US.
i agree this is bolsonarismo incarnate just some cranks and freaks doing some dumb shit because people on the cellphone told them to
It is very rare in Latin America for wealthy oligarchs to carry out a coup of their own free will without US support.
it is even rarer when the us is openly against, like the whole the us will stop all relations with brazil if there was a coup like that resolution from the us senate that sanders passed is a big DO NOT DO IT to the army also the DF governor making a video saying that he is sorry to lula for this day is kinda of a tell that this was less of a army and more of a governor thing
DF governor making a video saying that he is sorry to lula
sorry to the denizens of the current Imperial Capital, but at least our governor down in Rioland was the one to 'request' federal intervention. it is clearly the time to move capitals back to somewhere more auspicious.
like imagine being the worst governor of the country like the competion is so hard and still you are the objectively worst one it fucking blows my mind the video is really funny he looks like a big child
DF governor making a video saying that he is sorry to lula
:data-laughing:
True, but you also gotta remember that many of them are just kulaks with no direct knowledge of foreign interference, so they just put money from their own pocket to fund a bunch of nut jobs because they think they can succeed with just money and no organization
the official government of the US is against this coup. But what about the government in exile :trump-moist: . Bolsonaro is hanging out in Florida right about now
Bolsonaro hangs out with Brazilian Gusanos, not even Trump cares about him anymore. I doubt Trump wants an international criminal with him during his election campaign.

Well, a new one at least
do they have funding yeah, ilegal logging and mining on amazon interest have been sponsoring the camps and problably these dudes too but it will not drag out too much i feel
It is truly amazing how the Bolsonaro government went out of it's way to have 0 friends in the international scene
- made kissy faces at Trump only to refuse to congratulate the Biden Imperium
- had his fail sons call chinese people monkeys on twitter (they are fucking congresspeople lol)
- started fucking over argentina even before Macri lost
- only played nice with russia because neoliberal policies gutted the national fertilizer industry and the cattle ranchers would have beheaded him on the streets if he hadn't
- opened a trade mission in jerusalem instead of recognizing it as israel's capital
- rallied against the new mildly left of center governments in south america because of course he did
- threatened war against france
the only people who were mildly lukewarm on Lula was Modi's India but even then it's out of competition with china. motherfucker apparently rang up the USA multiple times, asking for coup support, and they just kept saying :bugs-no:
During the media blitz about the increased burnings in the amazon back in 2019. Macron called the g7 to 'discuss' the situation. Problem is that regardless of the fact that illegal loggers and miners are core supporters of Bolsonaro there is an entire wing of paranoia about 'rich country' intervention in the Brazilian Amazon, and it is particularly widespread in the armed forces. The entire brazilian government started childishly cursing Macron and calling his wife ugly on social media and Bolsonaro at one point indirectly talked about war. This then became a meme amongst the opposition because as people know Brazil has ammo for about 25 minutes of actual state-on-state war.
25 minutes of actual state-on-state war.
the only caveat on this is that techinically long term we can do it, like as long as we have a supplier of ammo on the early phase i would imagine the war production would eventually be done the bigger problem is that we are not really fans of war, like even the ukrainian one brazilians eventually just came to the conclusion that nah we shouldn't do anything about it we are ignoring way more pressing stuff in OUR COUNTRY we can just put this on the pay no mind list and be done with it
When Biden sent CIA to discuss plans with Bolsonaro, he refused to recognize Biden as president and refused to listen to the envoy and demanded that Trump come back lol
Super curious where this coup is gonna fall on the :kkkanada: support coin? My guess is some milquetoast response in favor of the elected government if only to try and avoid inspiring yet another convoy locally but it looks like that one might be nipped in the bud
It's not much of a mystery: whatever the US says, Canadians will agree with.
:brazil-cool: Qanon Uncles but they’re all disgraced Gracie siblings and unlicensed BBL doctors
Lula playing chess on these fools. Let it happen, use to crack down on these fascist scum.
Build the gulags!
