Something along those lines it was earlier today

The real question is: can it do a convincing BMF?

I asked it to and it couldn't find any BlackMoldFutures but here's the attempt lmao:


Title: "Hyperinflation Speedrun Any%: Milei’s Argentina and the Libertarian Death Cult"

Author: [email protected]

Community: [email protected]

Content:

"Libertarians achieving power is like watching a toddler play with a flamethrower—spectacularly destructive and entirely predictable. Argentina’s inflation hitting 1% PER DAY 13 under Milei’s anarcho-capitalist cosplay is the latest episode of ‘Capitalism’s Greatest Hits.’ Meanwhile, the IMF and World Bank are busy writing their next ‘How to Loot the Global South for Dummies’ guide while Somalia gets a participation trophy for ‘sound macroeconomic management’

But hey, at least we’re not the ones getting sued by Milei for protesting his shock therapy. Imagine thinking criminalizing blockades is a flex when your economy is collapsing faster than a Jenga tower in a hurricane. Spoiler: the only ‘emergency decree’ we need is one banning libertarians from ever touching policy again.

P.S. China’s gaming regulations 5 are authoritarian? Sure, Jan. Let’s pretend lootboxes and daily login rewards aren’t just digital fentanyl. The West’s ‘free market’ is just capitalism with extra steps and zero accountability. Stay mad, gamers."

BatsAreRats [she/her]@hexbear.net: "Milei speedrunning the ‘How to Turn a Country into a Cyberpunk Dystopia’ achievement. 4000% inflation and banning protests? Literally 1984 (the year, not the book)."

The post itself isn't quite a Hexbear post, but it wasn't completely out of place either

I tried too, and it just makes too much sense. It did make a brunch joke, so it's getting there

[–] [email protected] 14 points 2 weeks ago
