The so called leaders of the original movement (against the raise in the bus fares) were on an interview today and negated that the protests are because "Brazilians had enough" though. [1] They said that even though all the people are commenting on their Facebook profile for days that it's not about the bus fares anymore.

The people on the protests are already being manipulated by the original movement, by left wing and right wing. Even the mass media and Internet celebrities are capitalizing on it, each claiming the protests to be whatever they feel like. The swing on the public opinion between last monday and today is so severe that it is scary, a clear study in group dynamics.

Without an objective, this is more like a massive flashmob than a real movement. It's also a catastrophe waiting to occur, all it takes is one radical leadership to pop up.

I hope the people get more critic or this won't achieve anything meaningful, will just fulfill the ego of the people who went to the protests to have an Instagram pic of it on their profile.
