Yeah, exactly! It's like there's only two modes, "complain about everything ever even when it's not actually a problem", and "crazed overzealous nationalist who defends police brutality" or some nonsense like that.
I'm very much aware of what problems Brazil does have, but we are not mindless savages. I think what pisses me off the most is foreigners thinking they can try to save us when we in fact have activism and social policy of our own, thank you very much. (and the last time the United States tried to intervene they started a 20-year long military dictatorship, so you know, thanks for that)
