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.

I did that a day on 18/06, a day before I started to see bad omens all over the internet. You're right, now I'm not that proud of that drawing in a political way, even if I tried to make my homework and see what was going on. My aim was not to celebrate the riots without clear goals, nor to demand politician's heads. I thought it was the way I had found to express that I also want specific changes, one at a time, though the things I saw after were the opposite of what I was thinking.
I'm sorry for the wrong message I passed.

I didn't mean to hurt your feelings with my words.
And as Facebook would have it, I can't answer your messages without being called a spammer. I wonder what that is.

I know you didn't. It's just...hard to predict what will happen.
I read that post - [link] - a few hours after I have finished that drawing. And this was the 1st thing I have read that made me seriously worry about it. Then I listened to my parents. They were worried as well. Then I knew there was something stranger behind all of this, like a Sith maneuver or something.
So...that's it. Absolutely no hard feelings

It wasn't that hard to predict, for it happened once in this very country. Look for it: 1964.
Even the words they were shouting - like "The giant is awake" - came from that particular moment in history. A sad moment, no less. The moment we lost our freedom, only to see it again in 1988.
We should have seen this coming. But as much as I, bitter old hag, want to blame this on you (by you, I mean all of those who thought this was right), I can't ignore my own fault. It's my responsibility too. I am a citizen, am I not? I didn't make a proper stand against this, and my inaction enabled you to act too much.
Maybe we should all sit and think of what we really want, and if we're really working towards it.
