the man literally did a coup, crazy comment


[flagged]



Do you have a point?

>Bolsonaro's coup never actually took place, and even if it had, it'd only be a reaction to the concrete actions of the supreme court.

21st century fascism, distilled.


There is a literal juristocracy in place since at least 2019. Not a single person voted for these judges. Everything that happened in Venezuela is also happening here.

Opposition to "fascism" is purely academic at this point.


> Bolsonaro's coup never actually took place, and even if it had, it'd only be a reaction to the concrete actions of the supreme court.

The classic "It didn't happen, and it did..." from The Narcissist's Prayer.


It literally did not happen. Whatever it is that he planned to do, in the end he just hopped on a plane to the USA and left everyone who believed in him to take the fall for it instead.
