That lady in red, the one with their arms open, yelled against the protesters but of course people on the internet look her up and people found out she receives money from the government as a masters student.

She's biting the hand that feeds her.

Oh, and she was at this 5 star hotel because she was invited to a wedding there, not staying there. She's there for free.

I get your point but let's not mistake the state for the government.

[u/LynchianNightmare → u/ChorizoCriollo]

I understand the difference, but in this particular context, she is opposing the government that has invested the most in public education and consequently demonstrating support to the party that is for massively shrinking it, so the criticism is valid.

[u/nonamegrl420 → u/ChorizoCriollo]

She's opposing the government that sustains state benefits to the population. Baby Bolsonaro has been very clear about cutting state funding in all sectors.

So, Brazil now has its own version of that video of Wall Street bankers toasting and sipping champagne while laughing at occupy protestors.

//edit: just checking the original post from back in the day, appearently they weren't bankers but a wedding party?

Theres one from 10 years ago:

Politicians in Brasília celebrating some fuckery, sipping champagne and laughing while police beat the crap out of protesters

We even make it better. Ours is way cooler

Another comment says the people on the balcony at the Copacabana Palace are also attending a wedding.

[u/DadCelo → u/crestdiving]

This makes me feel so old

[u/DigitalSea- → u/crestdiving]

That was a wedding. Not Wall Street bankers on a Saturday.

[u/Smalz22 → u/crestdiving]

Why would bankers be working on Wall St on a Saturday when the markets aren't even open

And they were throwing signs of the opposing election party. Picture a more iconic Class war act

Reminds me of those Occupy Wall Street photos.

[u/ThanklessNoodle → u/LBobRife]

First thought that came to my mind too—people up on high floors, drinks in hand, looking down and laughing at people. 

Uncanny similarities.

This looks so much like the pictures from occupy wall street. There was one I remember that was nearly the same exact shot.

This is an amazing picture.

This is Brazil.
