The president has said multiple times in the past decades that he intends to install socialism in Brazil. He's tried it before in past governments with plans to relativize private property rights, regulate the press, heavily tax great fortunes and whatnot. Even the press that campaigned for him relentlessly these last four years used to criticize that. There's a judiciary dictatorship on top of all that with the congress and senate being completely worthless, just like in Venezuela. Lula is now old, cancerous, with nothing to lose and vengeful due to being arrested for corruption and his party losing the previous election to "fascists". He was openly threatening other politicians who didn't ally with him even before the election. After the election, I saw him tell journalists they could work but "without badmouthing the government".
It's no exaggeration at all to believe this country is finished. Anyone who believed in a moderate government has already jumped ship and wished good luck to anyone still in this shithole. I'm thinking of getting the fuck out of here myself, I only hesitate because of my family.
Uh, in every possible way? Not once did I see him censoring anyone. Not even himself, in the numerous moments where he really should have kept his mouth shut. I didn't see him try to reappropriate private property to illegal invaders. He didn't create 10+ bullshit ministries, he instead sought to reduce the government machinery, bureaucracy, expenses and taxes.
If you think the next four years are going to be anything like the last four years or even the last two decades, I really don't know what to say.
Personally I don't really care about the Amazon at all. Developed countries exploited their own natural resources, what right do they have to condemn anyone else for doing the same? I'd happily sacrifice that entire jungle if it brought wealth and prosperity to the people of the brazilian north and northeast. This country seriously needs to develop those regions.
It's a moot point anyway. Bolsonaro no longer matters, and I'm not interested in discussing the past any longer. What matters is the future and it's not looking good. It looks like you have no comments to make on the future so I guess this is where this conversation ends.
