FINALLY SOMETHING ABOUT BRAZIL’S SITUATION ON MY DASHBOARD
WE’RE LIVING A REVOLUTION! WE’VE BEEN IN AN ALMOST CIVIL WAR STATE FOR TWO WEEKS! WHAT THE HELL, FOREIGNERS? TALK ABOUT US!
what the fuck is going on with brazil? why have I not heard of this?
The first I heard about this was a very short bit on BBC news this morning. Someone is not doing their job properly.
What’s happening? I’m confused, in my country (Italy) this news has no spotlight, I just read in a brief article that 50000 people protested against the high costs of the World Cup, but damn, these photos show much more than 50000 people! °_° I get very angry when news are falsified in this way!
I’m afraid the international media is doing a really half-assed job at covering the protests here in Brazil. But then again, our own press isn’t doing any better lol
I think reading these two articles might help give you a better understanding of the current situation! I wish i could fully explain things myself but my english isn’t good enough for that -_-“
Eu tenho a forte impressão de que os vândalos ou são gente querendo sabotar o movimento, ou esses militantes “profissionais” afiliados a PSOLs da vida e que vivem de pedir voto em universidade.
Minha impressão também. Não só minha, mas acho que é a percepção geral, se ligar em algum noticiário qualquer eles se referem aos vândalos como infiltrados.
E o Breaking Fingers? D:>
Infelizmente fechamos! Tivemos alguns problemas com o investidor e não teve como darmos continuidade. C’est la vie!

Also, I think it’s worth mentioning: vandalism happened. In more than one occasion. But when you watch the videos of those events, and you hear the masses crying “SEM VIOLÊNCIA” (no violence), it’s clear that the vast majority of people were trying to protest in peace.
Also when you see those guys marching with flowers in hand.
Or when some vandals tried to break in the City Hall and a large group of people raised white sheets, asking them to peacefully stop.

A couple of weeks ago, the press in general was quick to label protesters as vandals. During last thursday’s protest, however, a otherwise pacific march was met with violence from the police, and not only protesters got hurt, but many journalists and reporters got badly hurt as well. That’s when the media “changed sides” and are now supporting the protests lol. I take this sudden change of heart with a grain of salt and I’d rather not believe what I see on TV.
Instead, I keep myself informed through facebook and other social medias. What the press would try to hide or misinform, the people who were present in the events can share their version of facts.
I think it’s funny that until a while ago people would say “facebook activism” is stupid, but now it helped gather so many brazilians under the same cause and make us march the streets for our rights!
Here are some good articles in english about these events!

As for me, I’m doing fine! :D I’ve been job hunting the last month, in hopes that someone, somewhere, need an illustrator.
WHY DOESN’T ANYONE NEED AN ILLUSTRATOR orz
…up to 200,000 people angry with high costs and poor public services took to the streets. Protesters in Rio de Janeiro burned cars and looted buildings as police attempted to disperse them with teargas and rubber bullets. Aerial images showed thousands of people attempting to storm the congress building in Brasilia. The rallies…are some of the biggest ever seen in the country…

Wow, the video in the link makes all protesters look like vandals.
While last thursday was very violent here in São Paulo, yesterday protests in most cities went on without much casualties. Protesters continually begged for nonviolence and were quick to reprimand those who tried to cause ruckus,
Although I was not present there during the rally, dozens of friends and acquaintances were and reported the same, peaceful march.
