Not everything is Trump's fault. That country is a mess in itself.
Edit: I think I am providing yet another example of how facts hurt.

No worries. It was a valid concern. The key context here is that Lula is trying to reclaim national symbols from far right political opponents that use much less ambiguous slogans such as "brazil above everything, god above everyone".

The slogan "x country for x nationals" when used to reinforce sovereignty in the face of external threats from colonizers is reasonable. It's not necessarily xenophobic in nature.

Tiktok was also very popular, until it wasn't anymore.

Germany is as much a proxy as it was before the wall fell.

State media in practice just means they disclose who owns them, instead of hiding their connections to government agencies through many layers of fake independent organizations.

Youtube has demonetized or taken down videos for much less, citing fears of driving out advertising. Now the advertisers are promoting genocidal messages to family friendly channels and their audience.

Why is the article not mentioning the reason being the role the organization has played in supporting palestinian genocide?

Trump is doing this because he feels threatened by brics+, but he decided to use the upcoming arrest of far right politicians as a justification. That has however put a lot of strain on the right as they are seen as responsible for harming brazilian economy in an attempt to save themselves from accountability, uniting the left in the process.

It's of no use. Holywood did an amazing job at villainizing russian aesthetics, so it comes off as natural to feel the prejudice.

Countries that value financial sovereignty would still be interested.

That looks like the 14-bis from Santos Dumont in the picture. He did not live enough to see WW2, but he ended up helping design planes for WW1 and got terribly depressed about it, commiting suicide later.
