Brazil is spiraling out of control and there seems to be no solution for it.

Since President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva (Lula) returned to power in 2023 (rigged elections), Brazil has faced escalating crises, including censorship, rising crime, corruption, and economic instability.

Lula’s administration has engaged in "lawfare," targeting political opponents like former President Jair Bolsonaro (which was the best president Brazil has had for a long, long time) and Congressman Daniel Silveira, who was imprisoned for criticizing the Supreme Court.

Over 1,500 people were arrested following the January 8, 2023, protests, which were mainly peaceful demonstrations against the many obvious electoral frauds. The government has expanded censorship, introduced controversial laws to regulate online speech, and struggled to address organized crime and economic challenges. Lula’s Workers’ Party (PT) faces ongoing corruption and its ties to the Foro de São Paulo raise concerns about socialist influences. Brazil remains deeply polarized, with fears of democratic backsliding and authoritarianism as the 2026 elections approach.

We're fucked and it seems like there's no way out. The president is a corrupt bastard, the supreme court is overtaken with corrupt judges with OBVIOUS ties with drug cartels and there's no one to turn to. The dollar is skyrocketing and inflation is on the rise. Investors are leaving and the future looks pretty grim for us. I've always been an optimistic person but the last few years have taken that away from me.
