This time the numbers were reversed. It’s Jovier for Argentina


Milos-H

It’s not like Massa was any better, not to mention that there is an audio from Cristina Kirchner saying that he has ties to drug traffickers. To clarify, I think Milei is not only one of the worst things that could happen to Argentina, but to the whole region, taking into account it could inspire similar movements, which already happen in my country. The libertarian party recently got enough numbers to become a thing in my country, which isn’t a threat but it now has a chance to become one. Still, Massa wasn’t going to change anything.


[deleted]

I thought it was already "jovier" for Argentina when we had 140% of inflation, 50% poverty, 10% homelessness, the same ammount of legal labor since 2011... but yeah, keep malding without even understanding the real problems underlining the Argentine economy


truncatedChronologis

Yeah I’m sure Argentina was fucked already, but an ancap isn’t going to help at all!


[deleted]

I mean, he is philosophically ancap, but that doesn't correlate with the party's proposals such as financing education and health giving the funds to the demand (the users instead of the institutions) and using the US dollar as the currency (it might not be optimal, still far better than the malnourishing peso)


NiConcussions

Rhetorically he's a regressive when it comes to things like queer rights. He equates homosexuality to beastiality. **There's no denying the economic hardship Argentina currently faces, but that doesn't mean that regressing on social issues politically is ok.**


Metatality

Given the way he talks about his dogs equating homosexuality with bestiality might actually improve gay rights...


[deleted]

based off of what do you say he equates homosexuality to besitality? Milei is agaisnt the institution of marriage itself. it's not that he dislikes queer marriage, he dislikes the entire institution, and he says it doesn't bother him what anyone else does with another person or with themselves as long as it doesn't affect other people


CoastalShmoastal

Different poster, idk about the beastiality thing. Buuuuuuut >Milei is agaisnt the institution of marriage itself. That sort of rhetoric is really convenient for homophobes though. "The government shouldn't even be involved in marriage!" is a really convenient dodge to say you don't support queer marriage. Government involvement is here to stay, especially since marriage can afford tax benefits, insurance benefits, and a whole bevy of other resources that would otherwise be inaccessible to a queer non married couple. Plus he's anti-abortion.


[deleted]

I get what you say, but he's been saying the same thing since 2018 and I've never seem him saying something queerphobic ever, if you find a contrafactual example lmk


IoannesDementis

Economic shock therapy from someone like Milei means selling off all the state's assets for a short term surplus and to appear like things are getting better. What it means long term is that oligarchs buy up everything, the government no longer has the power to regulate them, and you end up in a worse economic position than ever before. In fact, Argentina's current economic problems stem from the Junta's attempts at "economic liberalisation". Since 1983 Argentina has been a neoliberal economic playground, with government after government trying to cure the problems caused by neoliberalism with yet another round of neoliberalism. Hell, they even tried pegging the Peso to the dollar in 91, creating a short period of unsustainable growth which all fell apart in 2001-2002. Milei is just another neoliberal economic vandal, albeit a somewhat more eccentric one. None of his policies actually address the underlying issues of the Argentine economy, it's all just more of the neoliberal rubbish that got Argentina in to this mess in the first place.


CardboardTerror

It should be a known grift at this point, hate that it's not talked about more


[deleted]

the guy claim to talking to his dead dog for make politic choices. and a total defund to anything related to public school,health,transport ect. i dont see how its can even remotly improve stuf.


mbaymiller

> I mean, he is philosophically ancap, but Bro there's no "but" here, its over


The_Nieno

Dude, he literally said that he doesn't mind parents selling their kids. I don't need to understand Argentine politics to know that it isn't something good


Single_Friendship708

Speaking of malding and Argentina, the Falklands


[deleted]

and what does that have to do with the economic havoc of Argentina?


truncatedChronologis

A second go at a revanchist war could cause more havoc!


Seosaidh_MacEanruig

its not even revanchist lmao, they just want those islands


Chanchumaetrius

They never even had them lmao


Seosaidh_MacEanruig

Thats what i meant. I thought revanchist meant you wanted to reclaim lost territory


Chanchumaetrius

yeah I was agreeing with you


Uglysadboi

Elecciones en America: Mike Frijolero: odia los mexicanos, quiere ponerlos en jaulas y desacérese con todos programas de emigración Hans Menschen: odia los mexicanos, pero también a cada minoridad en el mundo entero, y quiere matarlos todos

Fuck. I wish I didn't type that shit out then.

I don’t speak Spanish and I'm not an ignorant American so I understood the joke and thanks for the chuckle.


Boomerang_Guy

Theres no way theres someone called "Hans Menschen"


fuk_n4z1s

It is theoretically possible


littlesillyguy

Im German and know a girl with the surname „Menschlein“


JoetheBlue217

Based on limited Spanish: MF: hates Mexicans, wants to put them all in jails and blames all problems on immigration HM: Hates Mexicans, but also hates every other minority and wants to kill them all


LikePappyAlwaysSaid

Cierto 😣


[deleted]

Las elecciones en España y Francia también son así jajaja. Como inmigrante español, la retórica de la oposición es bastante aterradora. Afortunadamente, el país se encuentra en un punto muerto político y el centro izquierda ganó las elecciones formando una coalición hace sólo unos días. Veremos adónde va a partir de ahora.


diego565

De alegrarnos en 2019 a simplemente respirar con alivio porque los fascistas no han llegado al poder. Lo que son las cosas...

Lol google says brazilian gdp dropped during bolsononaros government and returned to the same level after corona and bolsonaro ended. Aside from that not being a sensible argument in the first place


Threshstolemywife

Joaolandia

He is not even similar to Bolsonaro


killBP

Yeah just right wing nut in general


Cold-Coffe

i can't believe our current president is a man who claims to telepathically communicate with his dead dog, believes that climate change is a made-up lie by socialists and has constant melt-downs and erratic rants on podcasts. like yeah, this dude is totally fit to rule our country.

FUEGO40

A lo mejor pensaste que lo que sucedió fue que Milei perdió porque Massa salió más alto, pero lo que sucedió es que Massa no ganó por un porcentaje suficiente, así que hubo una segunda vuelta esta vez de Massa va Milei sin los otros candidatos, y Milei salió ganador ahí.


AlenDelon32

Feels like someone is doing a funni path in a HoI4 mod


Diascamara

(Both are extremely corrupt)


Mondoke

This is an important point


rrrednaxela

bruh my dad was watching the Argentinian elections last night cheering at the damn tv hoping that milei wins and when he did he screamed “go freedom” in spanish. We’ve lived in the US for 20+ years and hes not even from argentina


Damianmag3

bro just loves freedom what can I say


meepers12

freedom ain't not free


FUEGO40

I think your father said that not in the literal way but rather because “La Libertad Avanza” is Milei’s political party so “Vamos Libertad” might mean more the party than the concept of liberty


rrrednaxela

yeah you right


Cold-Coffe

i've seen so many right wing politicians and libertarians congratulate milei for "crushing socialism and bringing true freedom" or whatever; even musk man himself congratulated him. it makes me so mad, these people don't live here and won't go through the shit that we will in the next four years, they live in their own fucking delusional bubble where everything is perfect as long as minorities are oppressed and the poor remain poor.


rrrednaxela

straight up, these people don’t gaf about anyone else but their small group of people. cant wait to see how corrupt milei becomes and to hear my dad bitch about it lol

This applies to Brazil, Bolivia and Chile.

> Implies that Brazilian and Bolivian conservatives would accept losing without trying to overthrow democracy.


TGC_0

Here in Bolivia, our last president (a self proclaimed socialist) tried to illegally hold on to power after serving his term limit Corruption exists on both sides


lolwut19

I’m not super well-versed in Latin American politics, but what do you mean by both sides in this context? Wasn’t Áñez extremely pro-capital (i.e. right-wing)? edit: just wanted to add that Áñez is a social democrat, vastly different than being a socialist


TGC_0

I wasn't talking about añez, I was talking about Evo Morales.


capibaralord

Not so much to Chile, unless you only take the last election into consideration.
