Brazil on Fire Episode 4: Nazis on your street
b'Brazil has a long and complicated history with fascism, going back to the early 20th century. Far-right and white supremacist groups have been emboldened by President Jair Bolsonaro\\u2014with some members of his own cabinet openly sporting Nazi tattoos. They\\u2019ve unleashed online attacks, pushed fake news and misinformation in favor of Bolsonaro, and they\\u2019ve threatened Brazil\\u2019s Supreme Court and its justices. But the country\\u2019s top court is pushing back.
In this episode, we look at Brazil\\u2019s troubled past of reactionary fascist forces, and how Bolsonaro\\u2019s rise unleashed them anew.
This is Brazil on Fire, a podcast about Brazil\\u2019s descent toward fascism under President Jair Bolsonaro. Over these six episodes we look at Bolsonaro\\u2019s far-right government that has set the country ablaze, and how the United States helped him do it. We\\u2019ll visit the birthplace of Brazilian Nazism, evangelical churches, and Indigenous villages in the Amazon.
Hosted by Latin America-based journalist Michael Fox.
