Description

I don't know how much of you are aware of what's happening in Brazil, my native land, which I love.

People are going to the streets, to claim for what they should have: not more money, less taxes or . Not just that. Not anymore.

They claim for justice, transparency, security, education, health...you name it. We, as working people, are just getting tired to see our money wasted and going into white elefants (one-use-only huge constructions), into politicians' underwear, into the wrong things.

So we protest. The way we can.

I'm using what I know best to protest. And may our voices be louder and louder and rise as the transformation force we want.

Cheers to everyone!

Rob

As freedom of speech would have it, you're absolutely entitled to voice your opinion.
I tend to love your work - as you well know - but this is a political work. It steps into my pretty legal turf.
And as our Constitution would (not) have it, these so called "riots" are wrong. They are not organized, they have not been guarded by legal measures (in fact, the MPL has stated it won't use the system because "it doesn't work", when several citizens have got what they wanted only by its use) and they are demanding blood. My blood. Because as petty politics would have it, that's the moment where dictatorship (yet another!) is ripe for the taking.
"Oh, let's protest. Let us use all words the youth of 1964 has use. Let us lash out onto the streets, let us show them our might. And let us pave the way for a brand new totalitarian state."
That's all you did. Yet you're unaware of it. You think it's all such a great deed, and you stand there celebrating through art, word and song.
I don't think you'll be so proud of this particular drawing once the coup takes over. It's started already, you know. A Constituent, as the president called, cannot be summoned by government. And once that takes place, it dissolves the whole of the nation.
Congratulations, because all your riots may as well have murdered my rights - and everyone else's. It makes me sad you cannot see it.
