Like a rubber-band stretched to the breaking point, it finally snaps. After 100+ years of repression and suppression, the people finally realize they have the Brazilian elite by the short hairs.

Decades upon decades of neglect and abuse; deprived of the protection and support of society dwelling as a perpetual underclass.

I hope they realize…

“he who can destroy a thing, controls a thing.”

Destroy the Olympics and destroy the World Cup.

Destroy it. Destroy the plutocrats.

They will not keep their false promises. They cannot be trusted.

They only care about applying a band-aid to the situation until after the events pass…then they will go right back to the status quo.

They’ve kicked you for a 100 years, kick back.

Do the right thing.

I am so proud of Brazil for standing up. I am an American, and have residence status in Brazil. Last year, my bone marrow failed in Brazil. I was in a public hospital, and very lucky to have been treated and very lucky to be alive. The Brazilian people are the most loving people on this planet, and I was very lucky and rare to have a doctor who was so passionate about my rare case, he almost never left my side. I am proud to be part of Brazil, and proud to see the people of Brazil standing up for themselves. I love their passion and their will to never give up. Keep fighting for what you want! I Love you Brazil!
