Brazilian leader Jair Bolsonaro tells supporters to buy guns. https://nu.federati.net/url/284540 [www zerohedge com]
First of all, this is from Zerohedge. I did not bother to seek confirming links, which means I cannot say for certain that the particular slant they're seeing was in the original speech.
But secondly, it sounds as though he's telling people to give up on working with and through governmental agencies to get through an anticipated crisis. I don't suppose he's taking responsibility for whatever role he's played in creating a crisis.
I don't know how #Brazil's legal system works, but if food insecurity is expected to lead to physical insecurity, breaking down obstacles that hinder poorer people from getting food is a needed first step. Whatever it takes: community gardens, seizing surplus food products from corporate warehouses, blocking the import of luxury goods so that the resources can go to obtaining enough food, all of these should be on the table.
