I think we should put bets on as to who's the first USAian to actually take an interest. I don't mean "care". LOL Nobody would expect that.
Oh, I should care about this? A corrupt government; an unfair separation of wealth; poverty and strife. What in the hell is
new here? That describes every human society to ever exist.
Only the rich can afford to successfully run for office, and they are supported by even more rich people. Is it any surprise that when they get into power they only look out for their own best interests and the interests of their major financial supporters? The only difference between countries is how much money is left over after the powerful have gotten their fill.
The people of Brazil are fed up. It happens. Maybe they'll create change with these protests; maybe they won't. At the end of the day, it doesn't matter. Human beings are self-centered and greedy and that will never change.
Burn your country to the ground and see what rises from the ashes. You're a fool if you think it will be a Utopian society full of sharing and caring. We are what we are.
If you want
real change, don't reproduce. Let some other species have a crack at the top spot.
