This is an internationalized right wing movement. Hopefully every last one of them and their relatives are executed and left in fields to rot.

The US needs to extradite Steve Bannon to Brazil since we have no intentions of holding him accountable.

It's only treason if you lose.

If you win, the other guy is the traitor.

And yes, Bannon deserves a monument. He has been doing great work in Europe too.

The fact that Twitter sacked its entire Brazil content moderation team recently is cited as an important factor, particularly the reinstatement of "16 blocked Bolsonaro-linked accounts that had been accused of disseminating false information by Brazilian Supreme Court Judge Alexandre de Moraes".

Of course, Bolsonaro and Elon are old buddies

He's also actively supported Bolsonaro's lies

In November, Musk responded to a claim from right-wing commentator Paulo Figueiredo Filho, grandson of Brazil’s former military president João Figueiredo, that the company was “imposing a draconian ideological censorship” on Brazilian users, promising to investigate the claim. In early December, weeks before the rioters smashed through police lines at the Brazilian capital, Musk tweeted that he had seen “concerning” tweets regarding Brazil’s election, telling followers that it was “possible that Twitter personnel gave preference to left wing candidates.” In another December tweet, Musk responded to a complaint of repression from a Brazilian right-wing media outlet by stating that “Twitter may have people on the Brazil team that are strongly politically biased,” despite having reportedly gutted the team in November.

Yes yes WTB, Elon Musk personally caused the riot by allowing right-wingers to post on social media.

Could you BE more of an authoritarian?

"Yes yes WTB, Elon Musk personally caused the riot by allowing right-wingers to post ..."

Lies about election fraud. Lies about conspiracies to steal their country from them.

Why would anyone think he had any culpability?
