Fascist manipulation
The far-right is shrewd: it uses one of its own as a scapegoat, some really awful comedian, and censors him. The left abandons fundamental democratic principles to burn an individual at the stake in the judiciary. Meanwhile, Alexandre de Moraes, of the Supreme Court, censors some left-wing magazines.
All the fascists and the military want is for the left to attack isolated points here and there.
One could even change the Minister of Education, much to the delight of the left, while 25% of the budget is cut.
The left loves rhetoric, words. If Damares stops spouting nonsense and tries to curry favor, a sector will soon emerge defending her; some will find this absurd, but this has already happened in an even more serious way in the Mourão case. He openly told the military in 2016 that it was necessary, through successive approximations, to prepare for a military coup if the institutions didn't resolve the crisis with the PT (Workers' Party). Through successive approximations, he controls the presidency of the republic, while other military cronies control the Supreme Court, Congress, and the police. Through successive approximations, Mourão has just closed political deals with Trump. And the crisis in the institutions doesn't cease. The closer they get to staging the coup, the more Mourão appears as a calm and reasonable person. And the left becomes euphoric, calling for Bolsonaro's impeachment. Then we'll overthrow Mourão, they think...
While the left rejoices in the "expulsion" of Olavo de Carvalho's followers from the Ministry of Education, teachers continue to be arrested for indoctrination. The right is learning that if it doesn't talk about non-partisan schools, if it disguises its discourse, it can still do much more, because the left is satisfied with just that kind of talk.
The far-right is shrewd: it uses one of its own as a scapegoat, some really awful comedian, and censors him. The left abandons fundamental democratic principles to burn ONE individual at the stake of the judiciary. Meanwhile, Alexandre de Moraes, of the Supreme Court, censors some left-wing magazines.
The far-right has learned that offering small baits can lead the left to mobilize so that the state becomes increasingly fascist.
These CIA diagrams are truly brilliant.
