I find your comment a little hard to parse - can you provide a link to something more specific about what you are claiming the Brazilian Supreme Court did that was corrupt? I didn't see anything obvious on the wikipedia page.
Sorry, it's hard when it is not my native language.
Yes, they are very corrupt. They are untouchable, and use the given power to their own benefit. The law is deliberately written very subjective so they can interpret and judge as it is convenient to them. They even use their power across their jurisdiction, which has been bringing debate in society lately.
Politics is an exchange of favours in that environment. To have an idea of how it is, I recommend you to watch "Elite Squad II" https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1555149/

The same court that removed the penalties of more than two hundred confessed criminals during the investigation "operation car wash" [1]
It was the largest corruption scandal in history of human kind [2].
The criminals confessed their crimes due to the sentence reduction incentives of the 'rewarded collaboration' law. One of the most important requirements to get the sentence reduction is "you cannot lie, if you do, you lose everything".
All of it, now, undone.

The Brazilians are so lucky to have individuals with unblemished reputation working hard to protect them against misinformation.

Alexandre de Moares is the president of the Brazilian Supreme Court, a selected group containing the most powerful individuals in the country. They are named by the president and once they are done, they never leave the position until they reach their compulsory retirement at the age of 75 years old.
They form the highest court of law in Brazil for constitutional issues and its rulings cannot be appealed.

For those who like independent software and open protocols, I would like to share the https://indieweb.org/
I recently bought a machine with an RTX 4090 and a 7950X3D.
Installed Pop OS; expected there might be one or two hiccups with the Nvidia drivers. Yet I had zero driver config/installation issues - and there's not been a single Windows game I could not play on Linux at full settings.
On top of it the Linux machine also streams to my Steam Deck.
I've abandoned Windows 2 years ago - I see no reason to ever return.
Only Steam games, right?

I strong recommend you to do not start doing this without talking to your landlord first.
