I'm sorry but no, you don't. I'm tired of this excuse, you don't protest regularly, I live here, I've seen the "protests".

You know what country is as big as th US? Brasil. You know what country has a police that is more violent than the US's, that kills more than the US's, and that is as militarized as the US's? Brasil. Look at our organic, instantaneous protests and show of strength after bolsonaro jr came out ahead in the 1st round of elections.

"oh major cities" shut up, we had demonstrations everywhere, big and small cities alike

and give your compatriots proper credit, was the civil rights movement a collective hallucination? "oh too far back in time"

BLM then, did that not happen? those were protests. the no kings parade is a joke

    I don't see contempt in their post but if they do then it's well deserved contempt after what we just did to Brazil.

    Yes because citizens who oppose their government equal their government. I'm just glad people are such clear headed thinkers on Lemmy. It's a constant thing to lump huge numbers of people together who happen to have a birthplace in common

    This was really a productive conversation. I'm glad things worked out so well for you and i wish nothing but success to you and your country in the future. But in case things ever don't work out the way you want, remember the advice you gave me. Shut up.

    They haven't worked out yet, your country will try it's darnest that it doesn't. So go and vote, and go and actually demonstrate. Stop finding excuses, all eyes are on you; so-called "home of the brave"
