Always the accusation we are doing something wrong. Industrial espionage, outright "selective" prosecution of corruption cases against national companies while sidelining foreign companies who did the same things, forced assimilation/buyout of our rare startups are always ignored. Suspicious cases where governments are simply "removed" in impeachments due to not having favourable foreign policy to the US or economic policies which are developmentalist and not of the non-interventionist kind not considered in the analysis. This is exactly what our local media says, which gives us two options

1- You are right and reality is simply reproduced in distinct social stratums around the world

2- Something doesn`t adds up.

Don't get me wrong the US absolutely misbehaves. China misbehaves. Russia misbehaves. Europe is suffering from Russian and Chinese industrial espionage, Australia has definitely been the target of Chinese espionage. (Leaving the Ukraine war to the side for the purposes of this discussion)

Brexit is almost certainly linked to Russian influence. The difference is Australia, UK and Australia have strong institutions and firm anti-corruption mechanisms.

Brazil can't succeed until it deals with it's internal problems. Media that blames everyone but internal problems is just serving interests that would prefer the people to look elsewhere.
