I think English signs itself isn't always sus. But Israeli flags? Come on.
There are entire slum complexes in Rio de Janeiro under the control of evangelical syndicates who call themselves the armies of Israel, and who repress any religion other than their church.
This is the afterglow of project 'damn, 1960s America is too woke, lets preach in the third world'.

Complexo de Israel (Israel Complex) is fucking terrifying, the worst of the worst that Rio has to offer. Neo-pentecostal militarized gangs using repression tactics that actually sound like what Israel does to Palestinians
As soon as pentacostalism starts creeping into a Latino community, odds are it is going to swing wildly to an enemy ideology.
This is why (I have several more historical reasons actually) I believe we need to ban missionaries and people that evangelize the Christian bible (or any religion for that matter).
They rely on predatory tactics to spread their message and often plant seeds of division where they preach. I was reading a story about missionaries' tactics and one of them included only giving food to the poor that would agree to listen to the Bible. They wouldn't give poor people food until they sat down and listened to the priest.
It's sickening.
only giving food until listening to a sermon
They do that in the US, too lmao
English signs itself isn't always sus
It is 100% sus when the country isn't English. It implies the signs are there to beg for American support, not for support within their own borders (or from neighbours and allies)
I don't believe you have ever attended or seen a protest in a country that does not speak English. English language signs are common in both right wing and left wing protests. By common, I mean that they are gonna be present, if not in big numbers, than in small numbers, basically at any protest.
Why?
Over 150 countries around the world have English as a required subject in school. Everyone learns English now, and in a few generations the majority of the world population will probably be at least slightly bilingual in English. It is the global auxiliary language. When a socialist from Japan and a socialist from Brazil want to talk to each other, what language do you think they use? Do they think they just refuse to use English (the only language they have in common) bc America is the Great Satan?
To assume that any message written in English is necessarily directed to Americans is just absurdly Americentric thinking
Do you think these pro-LGBT protesters in Thailand and Japan are seeking American military intervention? Or do you just think they want the whole world to know what they are saying?
This is a good resource to add: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_languages_by_total_number_of_speakers
Note the English L2 speakers.
The isntreal flag means they want to show Americans who they are tho
This is false, pro-Palestine protests in Japan and South Korea have both used English signage. We need better heuristics for ops than “hehe English sign”
Coup in Brussels inbound???
They’re even chanting in English here, it must be because they’re appealing to western governments(?)
My city has a large international community that is a bit more activist than the local community do some protest will have mostly English signs even if they are anti imperialist. But generally I agree with you
Brazilian chuds have been flying israeli flags alongside brazilian flags for years now, this is absolutely not surprising
The english signs is pretty sus though, I agree on that
reminder it wasnt as full as this image makes it look like.
without the state apparatus in his favor, bolsonaro lost most of his fervent supporters. evangelical conservatism is very much alive and well here though, just waiting for the next bolsonaro.
also lula is probably more likely to support the damn evangelicals in their bloodlust than to send any tanks.
that last part is so true lmao
when these evangelical leaders were reaching their peak, back in late 00's/early 10's, the PT decided to support rather than to fight them, in the hopes that they would get electoral support (which they even did, for a time; but like any reactionary opportunist, those leaders soon turned their back on the party)
Fascists get what they deserve
Evangelicals are one of the biggest voting block of the Brazilian right and they're obsessed with their supporters of Israel
sometimes I wish I could go back in time and kill baby Martin Luther before he starts Protestantism and its consequences
It would happen anyways, and lutheranism isn't even the worst protestantism.
Yeah the Catholic Church was too weird and European nobles wanted to stop paying for the church.
Yeah I'd take any of the wishywashy national Nordic Lutheran churches over the Vatican
If we step on enough butterflies either something will change, or we'll eventually run out of butterflies.
The time machine is almost complete. We leave on tuesday. Bring your own gun.
safety not guaranteed
Friends, in Bolivia there was NO coup!
This colour revolution ain't gonna fund itself. Wonder which focus group landed on yellow. Capitalists gonna do this shit forever until they are stopped
Wonder which focus group landed on yellow.
I reckon it was more about convenience than anything else. That's the Brazilian football jersey, a lot of people have one of these in their closets, so that's very handy
Of course if you're organising a protest organically you have to point out that it's organic, it's absolutely not a psyop
I think that comment was sarcastic
This over Twitter? Lmao what a freakshow
By the way, with the twitter ban, what she's doing is currently an infraction. This means if someone snitches on her she might have to pay R$50k, which is just shy of 10k in USD. That is, unless she's tweeting from outside of Brazil.
