Good vid, BadEmpanada usually makes very good and detailed videos about South American history and news. Most USians probably don't even know about the Mapuche conflict or who Juan Perón (and Peronism) really was. Everything they know about Argentina probably comes from rich, white Argentine gusanos who have never left their wealthy neighborhoods (this also goes for most Latin American countries), or from projecting stuff into Argentina, because most USians can't accept that their country is the most racist on the continent.
It's also true that Milei is spreading modern USian racist ideology in Argentina (just like Bolsonaro did in Brazil, Kast in Chile, Noboa in Ecuador and Keiko Fujimori in Peru, which is already a very conservative country). He wanted to create a “wall” around the border with Brazil, Paraguay, Bolivia and Uruguay so that he could post on Twitter that he is just like his hero, Donald Trump. Meanwhile, Milei, not so secretly, is begging Brazil, Paraguay, Bolivia and Uruguay for help and money because his entire country and government are collapsing and the provincial governors were making deals with foreign governments without the federal government.
I liked that BadEmpanda also talked about the fact even some Argentine libs and leftist refuse to talk about racism/xenophobia in Argentina because they think since it's not as bad as in the USA, that we should focus on other topics. Also, really leopards ate my face moment when it comes to Venezuelan Gusanos in Argentina (tbh this happens all over South America) getting treated poorly by the far-right people they supported.
