> continuing to argue with the fascist won't be a productive use of your time

They’re informed, coherent and seem to honestly hold their views. I’m genuinely curious about what they have to say, even if I wouldn’t want their policy prescription for my own country.

It's frustrating for me to see this discussion thread being taken over by dozens of comments filled with fascist lies, and being reminded that there are still nutjobs out there actively plotting to overthrow our democracy. If you really do want to learn more about the Brazilian far-right, there are probably better sources out there than drinking straight out of the fake-news hose.

Brazil is not a democracy. Not a single brazilian citizen voted for the judge-kings who are now running the country. It's as much a democracy as North Korea. Plus, there's censorship, and censorship equals dictatorship. It's that simple.

It's equally frustrating for me when I see the exact same talking points every single thread. It's fine if you don't want to debate the issue. Nobody's forcing you to reply. Do refrain from calling me names though.
