You know what the funniest part of it all is? These people spent the week before the terrorist attack making videos threatening to break whatever they found along the way. On Sunday, they made videos breaking down what they found along the way and posted them on social networks. Never has the job of police officers been so easy.
Now many bolsonaristas are deploring the conditions of the Brazilian prison system and begging for help from the human rights ministry of the government of Mr. Lula. They hate human rights, they said it only served to humiliate the police and help criminals.
Now that they say we are living under the heel of a communist dictatorship, they are begging for the very same “communist” to help them.
It’s the foot soldiers, the small fishes, who are complaining now. Whoever financed this operetta coup d’état has not yet been arrested. Journalists, Youtubers, bloggers, digital influencers, some living abroad, who have spent the last six months spreading fake news and instigating the masses are also silent, praying not to get caught.
Probably only small time crooks will spend some nights in jail.
The Garbage Day newsletter posted by @anon52120741 says that Bolsonarista YouTubers have been raking in millions of dollars.
During the Bolsonaro administration, YouTube in Brazil morphed from a place for niche nerd content and lifestyle influencers and into a gigantic Joe Rogan machine. Last year, Brazilian news outlet UOL found that a network of a dozen right-wing channels were making millions of dollars a year promoting authoritarian content. And Bolsonaro anchored much of his campaign last year around YouTube ads.
Yes. Since last month Youtube is cutting their pay. But they have several different ways to make money. Asking money from their political fan base is one of them.
I’ve read that going to a hospital in US could cost a lot of money. Better taking a plane back home. A lot of people here want to talk with him about last Sunday, It will be a win-win situation.
I don’t want to stay here, I want to go back to Bahia.
Bolsonaro has confirmed that He was admitted to a Hospital, deplores the scenes of terrorism in Brasilia and says that he will return to Brazil sooner than He planned due his medical condition.
Transmission towers were toppled in two states. Brazilian authorities see vandalism and sabotage. The government is studying a plan to protect the infraestructure of the country.
In his first comments after the attack, the Brazilian president suggested illegal miners, loggers and “evil agribusiness” may be involved in the destruction. That is yet to be proven, but there is no doubt his plans to protect the rainforest and other biomes have stirred up a hornets nest in the Amazon.

Among the first 70 or so names of the detainees released by police were figures who will go down as criminal cranks, similar to the “Q-Anon Shaman” and others involved in the Capitol riot in Washington DC two years ago.
…
Many were active in politics. One was a member of the former ruling clan: Leo Índio, who is a nephew of Jair Bolsonaro.
Bolsonaro’s crimes seem more connected to the presidency than Trump’s other crimes.
And, there were some announcements from last year that they would be investigated as soon as he left the office, and there are already some signs that it is happening.
Trump’s grift looked worse as he was president, but also seems that have been litigated from before he announced his candidacy.
Hopefully, we will crush them harder and faster than you, and maybe it will encourage you to punish your fascists harder.
Covid mismanagement hearings, despite shocking due to their incompetence and malice, also provided very good meme material and helped shine a light on how stupid a lot of officials and the government were.
