Yeah, I always kind of scratched my head at what the problem is with some Canadians and Trudeau.

But this sort of crap is common. I've been watching debates and there were Americans who are literally convinced that Elizabeth Warren is a fascist who is interested in doing bribery-based governance all while declaring wars all around the world. Mostly a certain sliver of Bernie Sanders fans (you guys should stop, you're making it worse!) who think that only through the glorious leadership of Bernie will the US move to the left. As an outsider, I see like 14 or 15 guys/girls running for the Democratic Nominee that would be a fantastic US President. Bernie isn't even that much better than some of them... perhaps a little more mature than Gillibrand, for example (who, as I said in earlier posts, reminds me of Tracy Flick from the 1999 film Election); while Gillibrand is really snippy, she'd be a fantastic US President (and probably really hated at the same time due to her snippiness): Castro, Booker, Williamson (and that might be entertaining because some of the interpretation of the language she uses scares the crap out of people), Yang, Inslee; even the dorkier/less intelligent sorts like Beto, Ryan, and Buttigieg would all make pretty great Presidents - and Americans may be more comfortable with the dumber side of the left (American TV often portrays intelligent people as evil or undesirable so it's clear that intelligence is not a virtue over there).

But now I'm ranting! So I'll stop.

Have a good evening!

It's deeper than that. The reality is, people in Brazil were/are fed up with politicians and the way the country is being managed for a long time now.

Whenever I enter a Uber, or Taxi, and I talked to the driver. 99% of the people I talked to wanted to HANG all the politicans. Literally kill them. I'm not kidding and it's certainly not a joke. Bolsonaro took advantage of this sentiment, and ran an aggressive campaign which became the people's last hope. Many were either clamoring for the return of the dictatorship,or didn't care at all anymore if it came back. This is how he won.

Another brilliant post full of miss information, congrats.

Please at least have him analyse what is a dictatorship or how removing regulation and government involvement in citizenship lives makes the government a dictatorship or facism.

It is mostly very miss information and attacks on the generic "everybody how doesn't agree with me is a nazist", and also the infamous "the fascists of the future will call themselves anti-fascists".

It is actually crime in Brazil (slander) to call someone nazist if he can't show evidence of the person being nazist. Which he certainly provide. He can claim the president is dumb, makes dumb declarations, make bad decisions, etc, still that doesn't make anyone a nazist, nor does that makes Brazil a dictatorship or similar. I doubt we would see him posting about Venezuela true dictatorship, Left Party huge crimes in Brazil, the persecution in Cuba, etc.

So it is most a case of seeing dictatorship because of disagreement.

First of all, I wanted to make something clear: I'm not saying Brazil is under a fascist dictatorship right now. All I'm saying is the country is getting closer to one every day. The government has a radical right-wing, ultranationalist agenda, and everyday it tries to suppress the opposition a bit more. Just in the last week, Bolsonaro threatened to imprison a journalist because he disagreed with him, fired lead members of two institutions who gave him information that, although true, he didn't like, and lied about the military dictatorship - trying to blame the left - twice.

If something looks like a lion, moves like a lion and roars like a lion, you don't have to wait for it to attack you to call it a lion. Because then it's too late.

Please enlight what news over there I claimed was fake?

What is fake is his title, interpretation and conclusion. But seems like you also have no idea on the subject. Goodbye.

"everyday it tries to suppress the opposition a bit more. "

with speech? I asked in my previous comment for actions or policies, do you have any to post?

"Just in the last week, Bolsonaro threatened to imprison a journalist because he disagreed with him"

as did obama when he was president, do you think this indicated america was becoming a fascist regime?

"fired lead members of two institutions who gave him information that, although true, he didn't like"

"and lied about the military dictatorship - trying to blame the left - twice."

i'd need to see more context on these

This thread in a nutshell.

Nice to see that most people seem to get this, with just a handful of the usual disingenuous suspects coming to play devil's advocate.
