look, i really don’t want to be having this conversation right now, but, with all due respect, your whole stance here smells like typical us-american freezepeach-ism. not that brazil’s supreme court is now suddenly the workers’ court (it isn’t), but it makes no sense to be agaisnt the criminalization of hatespeech when it’s specifically against racist and homophobic hatespeech which doesn’t affect us in the slightest. if bolsonaro wants to criminalize communism and he manages to get the votes to do so, he will, regardless of current hatespeech legistlation
