Where did you get this idea of a 'very corrupt authoritarian oligarchy'? Brazil is not much different from any other democracy and is far less oligarchic than Trump's USA. Also, PIX is managed by our independent central bank."


There is no independent component of a country. It is very naive to claim so.

What kind of non-authoritarian country arrests people for merely cursing at politicians on twitter?

Moreover, what kind of non-authoritarian country issues hundreds of thousands of rulings by its Supreme Court?

There is absolutely nothing this tyrannical in almost any western democracy, sans the UK.
