His face creeps me out so much. I usually try to attack the policies and not the person but it is just too much for me.
It’s like if Jason Bateman was cast in an oddball version of Batman where the Penguin was actually Isaac Asimov.
Every time a post about this guy comes up people start commenting like they know anything about Argentine politics.
The previous party (and only other option) was paying off IMF’s debt with money lended from China. There were printing money like there is no tomorrow. There were tight controls on the prices of everything. All while spending like crazy. Basically, they took all the money they could from every possible way.
Argentina needs drastic reforms and costs cutting. No wonder US and the IMF are applauding Milei’s plan.
More people ITT should get their first word asses up for a bit and take a look at the reality of our country instead of blindly hating on the new right winger. He is far from perfect, but also he’s the best we can produce, period.
Just because the other guys suck, doesn’t make this guy ok. Or not a fascist.
The fuck? Where have you been hiding and getting news for all he’s trying to do? He’s as far away from fascism as the Earth is old.
He’s got some very…questionable positions and some things I absolutely disagree with, but fascism is most definitely not something he’s associated with. In fact, I’d argue he’s as anti-fascist as it gets.
Fascism needs four things: Ultranationalism, Authoritarian Rule, Violent opression of your opposition and economic protectionism. All four things are as far away from his positions as it gets.
Yes, he’s very conservative on some issues and has a pretty far right stance on others, but he’s doing the complete opposite to repress different opinions. He’s opening the country up, he’s for same aex marriage and so on. I don’t agree about having to privatize everything and I think it’s a very bad idea, but that’s not fascism.
His political allies are Trump and Bolsnaro GTFO here with this blind bootlicking bullshit.
TLDR:
The Ministry of Culture (and a few more: Social Development, Education, Women, Labor) will all get merged into a new one called Ministry of Human Capital.
Ministry of Human Capital
Did they have a contest to find the most inhuman, corpo-speak name possible or did they start with “Ministry of Human Chattel” and decide to tone it down slightly?
This feels like it’s going to end up as Anarcho-Capitalisms Cuba. Touted as proof that it works by supporters and as proof it doesn’t work by detractors. I hope the Argentinian people come out of this ahead, or at the very least not even worse off.
Hard to be much worse off than over half the population living in poverty and using the black market to get basic things. In Europe and the United States, the black market is where criminals sell drugs. In Argentina, the black market is where everybody sells everything. Drugs or not.
Yeah, I know, which is why I fully understand chosing this guy over literally their prior finance minister. It’s pretty much “change nothing and hope it improves” vs “blow it all up and hope his ideas work half as well as he thinks they will”.
On the chopping block is the Argentine Ministry of Culture, along with the ministries of Health, Labor, Social Development, and Education
Feel like leading with the Mjnistry of Culture being cut over anyone of these to be odd.
lol dude is that was he looks like? Jesus what is it with electing the weirdest looking cunts on the planet?
In Argentina, photographers usually try to get the most unflattering pictures of politicians so they can sell them to newspapers ideologically opposed to said politicians.
That’s not what’s happening here. He really does look like that. You should see what he looks like when he’s posing for a picture.
