Truckers’ Strike in Brazil

Posted on November 18, 2022

In certain respects, the situation in Brazil is similar to what happened in Canada last winter. Like their Canadian counterparts, truckers in Brazil are staging protests against the actions of the federal government (in this case, the recent fraudulent votes used to elect Lula as president). Also like the Canadians, the Brazilian truckers’ access to their bank accounts has been blocked.

The key phrase in the following TV report is “nothing more to lose”. When a government creates through its actions a large cohort of citizens who have nothing else to lose, it puts itself in grave danger. You’d think the Brazilian Powers That Be would have the sense to step back from this particular precipice, but leftist apparatchiks are often quite stupid, so who knows?

Many thanks to José Atento for the translation, and to Vlad Tepes and RAIR Foundation for the subtitling:
