https://www.reuters.com/article/us-brazil-politics-education/brazils-new-right-wing-government-asks-schools-to-read-out-bolsonaro-slogan-idUSKCN1QE2PJ Brazil’s new right-wing government requested on Monday that schools film their students singing the national anthem and that a message including President Jair Bolsonaro’s campaign slogan be read aloud to classes. Education Minister Ricardo Velez Rodriguez sent a letter to schools requesting that teachers submit videos to the ministry of the readings and singing, according to a ministry statement. “Brazilians! Let us greet new times in Brazil and celebrate responsible and quality education being developed in our schools by teachers, for the benefits of you, the students, who constitute the new generation,” the message to be read aloud says. The message concludes with “Brazil above everything, God above everyone,” Bolsonaro’s campaign slogan. Bolsonaro has vowed to eliminate perceived leftist influence in schools, including sex education and political debate, after the Workers Party ruled for 13 of the last 15 years. Many activists and non-government organizations are also concerned about growing authoritarianism under Bolsonaro, who has openly praised the 1964-85 dictatorship.

I for one am not ready for the Second Brazilian Empire
The last one we had failed spectacularly and Bolsonaro isn't 1/10 the man D. Pedro II was so dark times ahead indeed.
Those who fail to raise their right arms at exact 45° angles will be disciplined.
I honestly believe if fascism is going to come back in the 21st century a la Nazi Germany, it will be from Brazil. But don't worry, he'll make the trains run on time.
I doubt a lot of fascism rising will be Nazism levels. More like Mussolini's Italy. Staunch nationalism, extreme conservationism, hailing one single leader as the cure to all national ailments, but I don't expect gas chambers any time soon.
Well usually thats how Nazism starts. It goes through the "Mussolini phase" and then mutates into the Horror thats Nazism.
