there's no similarity. A general property of cultures that are like Brazil's is over-policing.

Interesting take. Another such "superior" culture (or rather, superior military-industrial economy built on sustaining/managing conflict) exports mass policing technology to Brazil. https://idanlandau-com.translate.goog/2016/02/04/technologie... (in Hebrew: https://idanlandau.com/2016/02/04/technologies-of-oppression...)

...which is OP's point, that it needn't be zero sum, at least not from regional/global superpowers.
