Protests in Brazil: a visual comparison

This is how protesters used to be treated during their attempts to overthrow the TERRIBLE COMMUNIST GOVERNMENT of Dilma Rousseff and the Workers' Party, allied of authoritarian regimes such as Cuba, Venezuela, and Bolivia, openly calling for a military coup d'état, among other urgent and serious demands.

And this is how protesters are being treated while they protest against the impeachment of Dilma Rousseff and the CAPITALIST DEMOCRACY of Michel Temer and other coup mongers, allied of democratic peace-loving regimes of the civilized Western world.

























Nice, huh?

Not surprised to see you, as usual, cheering for fascist right-wingers.

Too soon to tell.

I hope they're able to reorganise, since they are the largest leftist party of the Southern Hemisphere. I don't see how their crisis is good for the progressives in Brazil and elsewhere, including the United States. Do you?

I can't think of any other. Anti-communist with hate speech, cheering for putschists, coup mongers, all kind of fascist garbage in South America?

As far as I know, we call this kind of garbage of "fascist".

Let me know if there is another appropriate term you prefer. I don't mind using it.

I'm surprised someone didn't get one of them to dance with them.

Grinning, laughing, giggling, waving idiots turn into snarling, baton-wielding jackals when the people who want a safe world for everyone come out.

Anyway, it's so damned easy to knock around people who have no powerful people to protect them, should they get beaten to a paste.

Such a pure, solid difference in the photos of the world of the wealthy parasites and the world of those who weren't born lucky. It's as if they are portraying two different countries, or two different worlds.

Hideous. Shameful.

Thank you.
