Argentina: "We're not fucked enough at the moment. Let's get even more fucked!"

Far-right conservatives and facists have found quite the successful tactic for getting into power and getting their ways on public referenda: it's called lying and misrepresentation.

A guy that looks like Austin Powers but is actually a 4chan neonazi. Argentine is completely falling apart, this will not end well for them.

It’s also interesting how the people get constantly humiliated by neoliberalism in the modern gig economy but still vote for the (even more) extreme right, which with 100% certainty will destroy their lives even more. It’s like begging your abuser to continue.

Is this the figure with a médium to talk with his dead dog?

He's a horrible, idiotic, person but at least there will be some interesting economic and political studies to follow.

This is the best summary I could come up with:

During this weekend’s presidential election in Argentina, he will make a starkly different choice, and back Javier Milei, a far-right libertarian trumpeting socially conservative culture war issues and explosive proposals to reshape Argentine society.

Polls indicate almost 50 percent of voters 29 and younger back Milei, the wild-haired outsider and self-described “anarcho-capitalist” who inveighs against traditional politicians, branding them as members of a “caste” that must be done away with.

It’s also a reactionary impulse: There is a strong backlash against pandemic-era restrictions, which helped popularize Milei’s anti-establishment rhetoric, and a spate of recent progressive wins in Argentina, including a momentous bill that legalized abortion in 2020.

What started out as a youth movement powering Milei’s campaign has now widened to include groups of all ages, all across the country — Stuchi called it a process of “intergenerational contagion” with people like him working to sway over older relatives.

She says the traditional center-left and center-right candidates in this election are so inexorably linked to the economic mismanagement at the origin of the ongoing crisis that it’s as though they were “invisible” to many young voters, leaving only Milei as a viable option.

Milei’s signature proposal to curb inflation — dollarization — is viewed by experts as likely unworkable, in part because of how few greenbacks are left in the central bank’s coffers.
