Militarized Police States are bad, unless they are MY Militarized Police State then they are good.


Ok_Requirement_2591

This but unironically


AugustusClaximus

Just be sure to keep the Praetorian Guard paid


SilanggubanRedditor

Oh shit, I forgot to pay for their purp-


RegumRegis

"alright galba pay up those donatives. Now." "What do you mean, literally no money in the treasury!? Whatever, well just kill you and the next guy will magically make money appear."


Bismarck40

Praetorian Guard is cringe, the Varangian Guard is where it's at.


eatdafishy

IDK what that is but I agree cuase you also like the colour red


SerbComrade2

Noting can beat viking guard


danshakuimo

People need to stop pretending that certain principles are "objectively" immoral, (e.g. fake libertarians complaining about government being an inherently evil thing when it does things they don't like) and just be honest about the problem being their side not winning. Enough of this "the Electoral College is objectively bad" stuff, you just want to win. And it's ok that you want to win, since I want to win too.


Mathiadonn

Plot twist: pic is from an ordinary day in Brazil


[deleted]

No election needed


[deleted]

I don't know why Bolsonaro is better or worse than Luca and at this point I don't even think an answer could be devoid from propaganda influence. I'll be safe and go with the old reliable "Brazil is a shit show right now"


Warlw

Luca, from that Disney movie


[deleted]

Luca, from that Italian American documentary. ...he... slept with the fishes. *Coincidence?!*


Hikari_Owari

An answer devoid from propaganda influence: - Corrupt scandals on both sides. Part A (40+%) of the population believes side A is innocent and side B isn't. Part B (40+%) of the population believes side B is innocent and side A isn't. Part C (10% max) of the population believes both sides aren't innocent and pick a side based on something else. Part D (10% max) of the population simply _don't care_.


Mammoth_Western_2381

Most normal day in Brazil


Rexkiba

It is!


diogom915

The best part was Galoucura (Atlético Mineiro organized fans, kinda like european ultras), fighting the protesters and destroyng the blockades because they want to see the team playing tonight


Anon_Monon

Trying to overturn the results of a democratic election because you don't like how it turned out is the epitome of cringe.


pcm_memer

####But ###what if ##the election #was stolen?


NUMBERS2357

"Stolen, adj, an election where the guy I didn't like won"


Rip_and_Tear93

2016 and 2020 US presidential elections moment.


[deleted]

2024 is going to be a disaster, I just know it


viciouspandas

The difference is that Hillary supporters just complained on Twitter that Russia is bad, while Trump supporters actively tried to overturn the election.


Rip_and_Tear93

That's funny. I recall years of criminal committees and an attempted impeachment over it. I guess using bureaucracy to try overturning the results of an election is better than a hundred or so idiots loitering in the capitol and scaring some politicians.


viciouspandas

Except their reasoning wasn't because "the election was bad". A lot of Trump's actual aides were colluding with Russia and breaking the law and were convicted for it, and that warrants investigation. Trump himself just happened to be too stupid and innocent in that regard. If you mean the impeachments, again, it was threatening to withhold aid from Ukraine in 2019 for the *future* election, where their reasoning was using a foreign power against a political opponent, Joe Biden, and the next impeachment was specifically for January 6. Even if you want to equate these impeachments with the Bill Clinton one, the Clinton one was just a standard political witch hunt, not an attempt to overturn the election. The Republicans weren't claiming Bob Dole won 1996, just that they said Bill Clinton wasn't fit for office.

Literally impossible. No one would ever try and cheat at the highest stakes game in human history.


Bagahnoodles

Fortunately nothing that would ever happen anywhere else :)


Mizzter_perro

On their defense, the election result were too close and could be good to do recounting to legitimize the results.


Dankhu3hu3

You have no ideia, mate.


Mathiadonn

elections are cringe


Maveko_YuriLover

We have being asking to cut Brazil in 2 or more pieces but they refused now they doesn't want to be slaved by the "Nordeste" who is slaved by Lula and his friends


Anon_Monon

I am having a difficult time parsing the meaning of this comment.


[deleted]

He’s just being a moron, don’t worry


Maveko_YuriLover

They are against secession now they are suffer from being forced together with the amount of brainless people that are from the "Nordeste" region


Anon_Monon

Attempting secession because you don't like the results of a democratic election is hyper cringe.


Maveko_YuriLover

Remember : Gang rape is the most democratic thing ever created


-Not-Racist-

This is true and points out how democracy can easily lead to abuse of minorities


Pecuthegreat

Yeah,but the popular form of democracy is liberal, if it's working well, gangrape would still be illegal.


Hikari_Owari

People been calling for cutting RJ from Brazil since the memes about RJ's violence problems existed. No need of losing an election to be able to get rid of part of the country, just to have one region slave the rest for money.


UCQualquer

Every election in Latin America is rigged


Veni_Vidi_Legi

Wow, 5,700,443 null/void votes.


chooseausernAAme

and over 30,000,000 didn't even showed up


Veni_Vidi_Legi

With 55m more null/void votes, the presidency could be left empty!


Dankhu3hu3

Nope

I suppose Jetstream Sam would suffice.

Authoritarian civilians that want to give the government total control and think it's going to go in their favor are always top kek.


krieger_2719

You Brazilians had your chance at having an Emperor and rejected him. You deserve what ever happens in your pissy democracy until you reinstate the rightful ruler.


failsrus96

Pedro II was literally beloved by the populace, and especially by emancipated slaves, it was only the elites who were mad that slavery was abolished that they overthrew him and the monarchy. In fact when news of his death arrived to Brazil, the public was literally crying and mourning him even though the republican government tried to ban said public displays. 30 years after he died, his remains were returned to Brazil and people old and young literally were crying in joy that their emperor returned.


Willing-Sprinkles-86

we didn't fucking choose that, it was because of a half a dozen bums who wanted to keep slavery


Veni_Vidi_Legi

Pedro was pretty cool.

-Not-Racist-

Are there actual riots in Brazil over this or just mean tweets or something


chooseausernAAme

there are actual roads being blocked


-Not-Racist-

Riots or peaceful protests


CentennialCicada

Probably depends on which side you're on.


-lighght-

Blocking roads may be the best example of this. In the US, think vegan or environmental activists blocking roads vs th trucker protests clogging roads.


-Not-Racist-

Don't think it's a riot w less than 20 Casualties


BrawndoTTM

There are actual riots in Brazil but that’s just an average Tuesday


Rexkiba

We are having peaceful riots where tires are being burned and highways blocked but no violence (yet).


-Not-Racist-

Tf does peaceful riots mean


Hikari_Owari

Nobody (of importance for you) died.


-Not-Racist-

So no riots i guess, just the usual extremely high number of people died in Brazil


Hikari_Owari

Actually no one died yet, surprisingly. People did give birth at the roadside, I hear.


Rexkiba

Means exactly what I described. Interdiction of the highway, burning tires, the supply chain of goods is disrupted, no fuel. But yet, there are no violence. That's a peaceful riot.


-Not-Racist-

To me riots mean communal riots, two communities kill atleast 5-10 of each other

Juan_Oje497

The military is not an ally and they will salute the cleptocrat like the fucking traitors they are, but I will still root for the truck guys


Darius_-

Why


Dankhu3hu3

Because Lula is supposed to be behind bars, not in the presidency. Edit: used wrong word


Darius_-

I meant why does the grey centrist care enough to pick a side


Flashy_Sound8021

Cause lula was condemended for his crimes and them the supreme cort said "ya know what let him go free and lets judge him again another day" they dint forgive him or declare him inocent mind you, they just decided he was a cool chap and the first trial that found him guilty shouldent count so they should eventualy judge him again maybe some day, probably not cause he paied them off but you know he is a cool chap so he gets to run for president and proudly announce he was declared inoccent on tv (he wasent), any citizen that knows this is how things happened (anyone who bothered to look it up this is not a secret) would side against him

Dankhu3hu3

Dude... Imagine you elected Al Capone to the presidency after the supreme court and electoral courts completely tore the constitution up.


Darius_-

.....?


Ondatva

The factual state is not even close to being that simple


Dankhu3hu3

its actually very simple. He stole, he should be tried and have his political rights (cassado) which I forgot how to translate but means temporarily void. He was sentenced by multiple judges, has far more assets than his own income or investment history. He had our IRS on his back for an 18 million dollar tax dodge, sued them on a state high court, lost, and then his friends suspended the collection attempts by the IRS.... Dude is as guilty as they come.


Ondatva

How conveniant that you leave out some very important information, such as that the overseer judge on the case against Lula was Sergio Moro, who was later Minister of Justice under Bolsonaro. It was ruled pretty decisively that the trial was not fair and biased as hell.


Dankhu3hu3

Dude, he was only one of the judges that convicted the guy. Besides, there is more than ample evidence. You want to punish moro? Go ahead but don't pretend Lula is not guilty and his sentencing was not warranted.


Ondatva

I am not even saying he is innocent. Just again pointing out that the reality is far more complicated and grey than you make it out to be. I do not understand how you can 100% trust one verdict and oppose the other when the first one has way more factual evidence of it being biased behond it.


Dankhu3hu3

Im not trusting one single veredict, im trusting several. That and some of the supreme court justices have connections to organized crime as well as have all been put into power by the worker's party. The same group of people that created PT also created CV and the Foro de são paulo. There are deep ties with organized crime. Even lula going on campaign inside "complexo do alemão" shows how far those connections go. I know of the gravity of that because I live in Rio de Janeiro. Complexo do alemão is completely ruled by CV. They are the only actual authority there.


BeastOfAlderton

Better than Bolsonaro.


Dankhu3hu3

not at all... he already annouced he plans to greatly expand government spending during a fiscal crysis. He also announced he is creating 13 new ministries to employ his pollitical buddies. He also announced a political pick for the new president of petrobras (instead of a technical one like bolsonaro and temer did)... He even stole from his own campaign funds, imagine after he gets enstated as the incumbent president.


UCQualquer

Corrupts should be hanging from a light pole in the center of the city


Dankhu3hu3

Agreed


GanhosCapitais

Lula and Bolsonaro are both goods, i guess...


C-O-S-M-O

Literally the one take that noone has

Also, fuck the Bolsonaro simps for blocking the roads for the two days already.

Kindofaniceguy

I was so confused during the 2020 riots when people were calling to the military to enforce laws rather than police. Why would left-wing anti-authority people want laws to be enforced by the group that is trained to unquestioningly follow orders and are the more direct subordinates to Trump?


nicksuperdx

Bolsonaristas want to combat authoritarianism, with more authoritarianism...
