The political scientist and the teacher of Insber, Fernando studentsHe says that in recent years Brazil has become a kind of “social experience”. According to him, this experience explains how the idea of ”disciplining the state of truth” or “the guardian of democracy” does not work in practice.
Schuller argues that the country has lived for a period of five or six years in light of logic that democracy needs exceptional mechanisms to protect itself.

Automatic tyranny in Brazilian political culture
The political scientist refers to the concept of “automatic tyranny”, which was formulated by the political scientist, Andrely Gilhery, Dos Santos (1935 – 2019) in the 1970s. This concept indicates that the Brazilian political culture often seeks authoritarian shortcuts to achieve supposed democratic goals.
“Many people do not like to hear, but when people in front of the barracks were asking for military intervention in 2022, they wanted to shorten,” explains Schüler, highlighting how this mentality permeated the left and right in the country.
Previous control and state overlap
Professor Insper criticizes the acceptance of previous censorship in Brazil in recent years, citing cases such as a documentary ban without the Supreme Federal Court (STF). An economic expert is also mentioned in the interrogation of electoral results and YouTube to express a controversial opinion on freedom of expression.
“This is a large slippery slope,” the teacher warns, referring to the recent state interference in issues such as the lyrics of the song. Schüler argues that such discussions should take place in the “market of ideas” without the mediation of the state.
The political world concludes a warning of the dangers of accepting a “hole of automatic tyranny” under the pretext of protecting democracy, while emphasizing that this approach can, in fact, undermine the democratic principles aimed at defense.
