> Brazil has been on a slippery slope regarding free speech.

Citation needed. Free speech is not an "unlimited right" in Brazil (I'd argue it's not an unlimited right in the U.S. either, but that's not necessary here)

Article 3 of the 1988 Constitution of Brazil states:

Art. 3 The fundamental objectives of the Federative Republic of Brazil are:

I. to build a free, just and unified society;

II. to guarantee national development;

III. to eradicate poverty and substandard living conditions and to reduce social and regional inequalities;

IV. to promote the well-being of all, without prejudice as to origin, race, sex, color, age and any other forms of discrimination.

You can also just read on Wikipedia about this to be better informed... it's literally on the "Freedom of speech in Brazil" article

Free speech exists as an unlimited right everywhere. Sometimes, tyrants fail to recognize that existence, is all

Human rights are cultural, for example the right to food and housing is seen by some other cultures as a human right. Does that mean the US ruled by tyrants for not recognizing that?

Human rights are not as universal as you might think.
