Wearing shirts in the green and yellow of Brazil's flag, a crowd of thousands shouted 'the time has come' as they marched on congress. What unfolded next was an eerily familiar spectacle that has drawn comparisons to America's January 6 attack.

Jair Bolsonaro built his career off being a firebrand politician who defied political convention, riding a wave of far-right populism to clinch the top job in 2018.

He railed against political correctness, expressed support for the use of torture, called for looser gun laws and built a platform based primarily on military policies."Elections won't change anything in this country.

As leader, he was praised for transforming the debt-riddled nation into the world's eighth-largest economy, and pulling millions of people out of poverty through social welfare. When Lula was charged in 2018, Brazilians celebrated in the streets, depicting him as a criminal and judge Sergio Moro as a hero.

Compare Jan 6 with the US Backed 2014 Maidan insurrection in Ukraine and the events that followed. No one held to account. 100 of thousands of lives lost.

Link me to your article condemning the BLM riots…

Imagine trying to conflate two completely different events so as to offer it as proof of some conspiracy theory then passing it off as news.

Australia's ABC suffers from TDS..pathetic

Why do I think that if the Brazil election had gone the other way, and it was the left protesting in exactly the same way, the ABC would have vastly different coverage.

Let in by police as well?

The Jan 6 protests were way more dangerous than regular mostly peaceful looting and rioting by African Americans and antifa.

Lol, how pathetic 🙄

This is real democratic practice.

Look at this article, it is full of extreme bias. Why is this not the democracy you always preach?

Ironically, the base for violent protests were developed by the far left. The far right saw how destructive they were and wanted to be part of it. I miss the days when protests were peaceful, & protesters would just put flowers in the military rifle barrels while singing songs.

The ABC is hopelessly biased. No story of BLM in a similar vein? Of course not

This kind of reporting fuels political polarisation. See how the right & Christians are demonised, the left lionised & concerns for election integrity disregarded. Look at the inflammatory adjectives & conflations. The ABC’s chosen a side & can’t be trusted to report impartially.

What people on stairs? Let's see if you report on the 1400hrs of video that the Dems tried to hide. Once that hopefully gets released.

Trump's legacy...

So far 993 people indicted over Jan 6th - and 976 of those clearly identified as Trump supporters. Of those - 154 have been indicted on weapons charges.

👀

The fact that you guys are trying to make out to your audience that Brazil has been some uncorrupt, beacon of democracy forever is hilarious.

Yawn…

Governments are going rogue, globally. The world is sinking into a depression, caused by corporations/Governments. Expect to see this more as the system collapses. However, the people will regain power, make no mistake.

Amazing, they’re acting like there has never been unrest in Brazil before. How much mileage can the MSM make in J6?
