Illegal enslavers in Brazil: Hurrah for CIA-supported coups! (<-- sarcasm)

why did I see this in the politics stream

I didn't even know there was a politics stream. I submitted it to History_Memes.

ok. that's kind of odd because, in the stream drop-down, it clearly says politics at one of the very first streams. but maybe you missed it and maybe someone reposted your meme.

Guess that explains why I got so many more views and upvotes than normal.

ok

TLDR: Basically, the CIA supported the 1964 Brazilian military coup and subsequent military dictatorship. Although I could not find any indication that the military deliberately implemented a forced labor regime, they did pass repressive authoritarian laws and created a situation that was conducive to an increase in illegal slavery, aka human trafficking.

why did you repost your own meme?

The other one uses a different template, a Hololive template instead of a Star Wars template. So it's not really the same meme, even if it does have the same text.
