>If they intend to commit break laws in Brazil, then yeah obviously they shouldn't have employees there.

Let's not pretend Brazil is a serious country with due process and anything approaching legitimate rule of law like we have in the US. A legitimate legal system does not censor free information, does not jail people without trial, does not empower a court system to launch "investigations" according to the whims of judges, and does not make demand on outside organizations with no operations in the country (lack or jurisdiction). The situation is this: Like other regimes (China, India, etc), the government of Brazil has enacted a hostage-taking law so they can threaten and intimidate foreign companies into getting what they want. Instead of complying with this law, companies would be wise to protect themselves and their employees by ignoring it.

>Brazil is an economy the size of Italy (and unlike Italy, growing). Rumble is free to stay out of a 2+ trillion economy. Nobody's forcing them.

Brazil has a TFR of ~1.5 and is rapidly aging. It's just a bigger Italy, and another country that will never be wealthy.

They are throwing their coup plotters in prison, I don't know if the US compares favorably lately.

  • I can't comment on whatever went down in Brazil, but hey, at least those American prisoners you vaguely alluded to are free - except for the minuscule, practically microscopic handful who, you know, actually did something violent.

    Or maybe you were alluding to a certain president? Hard to say because he wasn't there, or involved.
