If you stretch a rubber band it gets longer. The two ends of the band get farther apart. This might be easier to imagine with a broken rubber band rather than a loop. If you stretch a lead, whether in sports, politics, or anything else, the gap gets larger. The two sides get farther apart.

Yes, because the company refused to appoint a Brazilian legal representative.
So I agree with you about the whole "arresting people after they yell fire and not before" thing, but we're talking about people who attempted a coup here, these aren't hypothetical pre-crimes.
To your earlier point about going after the people who actually did the coup:
https://www.bbc.com/news/world-latin-america-64299892
According to this BBC article, 39 people were indicted within about a week of the attack
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/2023_Brazilian_Congress_attack
According to Wikipedia, 86 people have been convicted and sentenced to jail time.
I'm sure there are better numbers but I don't speak Portuguese so I'm not going to find them.
Also, while this conflict did begin with Brazil wanting them to ban accounts who helped organize the coup attempt, x was banned because they refuse to appoint a Brazilian legal representative.
If you have the pile of links why not post them? This is just a screenshot of truncated headlines masquerading as a source.
One of the headlines is "Samuel Alito Is Mad You Can't Be Bigoted Towards Gay People Anymore." This could be an article about the current conservative supreme court protecting the rights of gay people, or it could be an article about how the supreme court is planning to strip rights from gay people. I don't know because you didn't actually post a source, you posted a screenshot of a list of truncated headlines.
The post is referring to leftists who supported Assad because he was backed by Russia and Russia is hostile to the West.
Enemy (Russia/Assad) of our (tankies) enemy (the west)
Edit: I should say that I'm taking specifically about what the post has to say in regards to Ukraine. IDK that there are many tankies out here supporting Israel.
