 It's terrible, many YouTubers have to moderate what they say in their videos, we can't criticize our supreme court. If we criticize any justice of the supreme court, we can be fined 100 thousand reais, which is equivalent to 20 thousand dollars. Simply for writing a message on X or saying something on any social media platform with X or YouTube. Channels like:

- Alan dos Santos;
- Raim dos Santos;
- Monark;
- Paulo Figueiredo.

Simply put, we don't have access in Brazil. If we want to access this type of content, we have to use a VPN or access it through the Tor network. For example, I use a Linux system called Tails to ensure my anonymity completely.

 Brazil ended when almost everyone accepted that state benefits are worth more than the effort to improve and stand out.
Brazil is not the only one, in fact few countries have people who value freedom, and freedom has nothing to do with "free press", it has to do with you being the owner of your life and fully responsible for your decisions.

The majority of humanity chooses this, because the majority of humanity is accommodating. It doesn't matter states, nations, what matters is each individual solving their problems, their demands, always ready to move to other places because unfortunately the free individual's greatest enemy is their neighbors. Hitler, Stalin, all the great tyrants in the world only did what they did because the majority of the people in each of these countries connived. Lula da Silva, just like Getúlio Vargas or Leonel Brizola were elected and LOVED by the same people who are complaining today.

Take care of yourself and your loved ones, and just feel sorry for the little children.

 I agree with you, but as much as people think that Brazil is over, there is still hope. Cities like Rolândia in the stay of Paraná, are great places to live, with a high security and a very strong economy. They only become a prosperous city after the adoption of Bitcoin as the main currency. There it is very common to exchange products and services through Bitcoin. As much as I'm against using bitcoin to pay for simple things like a simple coffee. Because I believe that bitcoin will be worth much more than that. They keep doing that. Rolândia as it is a city in the interior, they produce their own food, that is, it is a circular economy. Many Bitcoiners say that the city is the closest thing we have to an Anarco-capitalist society in the world today.
