That bad, huh?

Interesting. Maybe they just don't want to be involved in another dictatorship just yet?

That's what I would have thought.

I was under the impression that Bolsorano had more support from the armed forces. I also always thought about Brazilian armed forces to lean more towards conservatism. But then again, I'm not Brazilian, so I don't have the full context.

I am more surprised the Army and the Air Force noped out of that one. Not so much about the Navy' s response though...

This is very interesting, at least for me as a Latin American but not from Brazil. I wonder whether the Army and Air Force want to distance themselves from politics in general, or if they have an issue with Bolsorano (or maybe the Navy)?

No judgement to you all from me. War is a conductive environment for extremism. War is hell, after all.

Pretty much like every other politician, except that he is open and honest about it, unlike most of his colleagues.

Commonly genocide is associated with race in media, but the legal definition is broader in the UN Genocide Convention: "acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group". The wealthy can be easily associated with specific national groups. Check the case of Pol-Pot en Cambodia for a rather extreme example.

Sorry to hear that. The Internet overall is a weird place. Some corners are more so than others.
