Hey Argentina, I know that your establishment guys were pretty awful and Milei was sort of a Hail Mary to try and reform your economy but… you guys seriously fucked up.
Not even a little bit surprised. Argentina is full of right wing, narcissistic sexists. And when this idiot fails, they’ll blame someone else
I urge the world to not fall to it. Your institutions have erroded. Your safety nets crumble. You call for someone to save you. These extremists are not your heroes. We inch closer to the Dark Ages with each official elected.
What will save us is reconstructing social safety nets and reinforcing labor power.
Best I can do is making unions illegal
What’s . . . with the hair
Feels like fascists use shitty hairstyles as a signal.

Fascists use absurd hairstyles to visibly differentiate themselves from the very formal, well groomed style that most politicians use.
It’s a way for them to push their image as being anti-establishment.
He looks like a Hobbit
Hobbits are all that’s good and humble with Tolkien so that’s actually a nice compliment
Reverse Wolverine strikes again! Who would have thought he was a fascist?

This is a genuine question and not damning with faint praise: what period are Argentines nostalgic for? Like, not saying Argentina was never great. It’s one of the world’s great breadbaskets. I’ve been there and Iguazú Falls is great by anyone’s standard.
In the U.S., there’s nostalgia for pre-9/11, post-Soviet period when we it seemed like democracy was on the march and we were blissfully ignorant of what was coming in the 2000’s. There’s also mythologized nostalgia for the post-WWII era that I think some Trump supporters imagine (rise of the middle class, manufacturing jobs, etc.). And Trump, obviously, is also referring to a time when straight, white, Protestant men had basically all the power.
So, what era is Milei referring to? Is it before the multiple financial crises (like maybe pre-1999)? Is it more in the Bolsonaro style where he means the military dictatorship? Something they don’t teach Americans about?
A non existing 19th century were Argentina had the highest gdp in the world according to some neonazi economists
This is the right answer. He keeps repeating that lie, and people actually think Argentina was a “first-world country.”"
Probably the era of Peron and Pernismo.
Like I’ve said, Argentina gets what it voted for.
