They're getting exactly what they have voted, so.the meme should be scumbag Steve: votes for šš® cries for bailouts when šš® enacts promised policies.

Can we get another meme for money going directly to WWII Nazis and their descendants?

I am not surprised one bit, because all I knew about Milei was him being a complete fucking dumbass. So the orange rapist and the ketamine addict liking him seems natural.

What's with Epstein Files spam? The Epstein files aren't going to change anything.

I'm always amazed about people bitching about these memes more than child rapes. That's you, take a good look in the mirror you're a piece of shit.

Hey, I would love to be proven wrong.
It's not unreasonable to expect those committed to the current regime to ignore the findings.

Have you tried doing absolutely anything about it? Nah you just want to ignore it, I hope you find yourself in a cell like Epstein you pedofile coconspirator.

You are correct this isn't the time to discuss child rape. /s

Where did I say that?
Spamming Lemmy comments definitely makes zero to difference to anything. I can guarantee you that.

Country chooses communist system: US sanctions them, destroys economy and points to it saying "see communism doesn't work!!"
Country chooses right wing asinine system: system collapses due to its own failures annnnnd the US rushes to save it...

Argentina has been an economic basket case for decades. The short reign of Allende and the ensuing coup is not the reason for it. Milleiās radical measures cut down on the rampant inflation but caused other issues. Argentina needing a bailout is a regular occurence.
You can go back to Peronās economic policies in the 1950s as the starting point for things going wrong, if you like. Deindustrialization in the 1970s was another major blow. The international debt of Argentina is mindboggling.

Allende was in Chile. Wtf are you talking about?

Allende was Chilean, not Argentinian.

Remember when he first took power and all the usual suspects of newspapers (NYT, WaPo, etc) were touting his spending cuts as reinvigorating the Argentinian economy? They tried to push the US austerity measures using that as an example. Shocked it didnāt worked out like they said. (Well not that shocked).
QuoVadisHomines@sh.itjust.works · 20 pts · 335d
Wait, the right wing libertarian economic policies that have never worked before didnt work this time? I am shocked.
Samskara@sh.itjust.works · 3 pts · 334d
Argentina and bad economic policies have been a iconic duo for decades.
richieadler@programming.dev · 3 pts · 333d
Yeah, let's not discuss US role on those policies...
QuoVadisHomines@sh.itjust.works · 0 pts · 333d
At the end of the day they still chose that policy.
Tiger666@lemmy.ca · 3 pts · 333d
Do you what the school of the America's is?
QuoVadisHomines@sh.itjust.works · 1 pts · 332d
Yes and Im wondering why you would be bringing that up in a discussion about economic policy since it is completely unrelated to what was taught there.
richieadler@programming.dev · 0 pts · 322d
You believe they're unrelated, you live in a fantasy realm.
QuoVadisHomines@sh.itjust.works · 1 pts · 322d
No I know they are unrelated. The School of the Americas is not teaching economics. They teach ācounter insurgencyā and other military tactics because it is run by the US military.
itās clownish to suggest this has anything to do with the school of the Americas especially since nobody in Milleliās economic team attended it.
Itās fucking weird to think Argentinians did not choose the policy they actively voted for. Argentinians have the ability to decide things for themselves and it is insulting to suggest everyone just follows the whims of Americans.
richieadler@programming.dev · 1 pts · 333d
Yeah, let's ignore US State Department pressures and decades of indoctrination.
The US are a scourge on the world, accept it and stop defending their policies.
QuoVadisHomines@sh.itjust.works · 1 pts · 332d
Instead you want us all to be so ignorant as to presume no nation has a role in choosing what policy they follow but instead does what the USA tells them?
richieadler@programming.dev · 0 pts · 322d
You wouldn't understand the role of political indoctrination because you live in Indoctrination Central.
QuoVadisHomines@sh.itjust.works · 1 pts · 322d
I think youāre just trying to ignore that Argentinians willing adopted bad policy all on their own and want to be able to blame America rather than accept that Argentinians willingly chose bad policy.
Itās fucking weird that anyone isnāt blaming the Argentinian electorate as thereās no evidence that the elections were rigged by outside forces.
Samskara@sh.itjust.works · 0 pts · 332d
Look up Argentinian economic history. They usually went against US policies, favoring strict regulation, protectionist economic policies, big social services, high state spending, etc. .

I'm Argentinian, don't try to teach me what I live daily.

Then why canāt you accept the people around you got suckered by your own politicians?

It needs a revolution, not US help.
gandalf_der_12te@discuss.tchncs.de · 2 pts · 333d
It needs a revolution, yes, but it's also important that people see what happens under unregulated capitalism.
I'm actually thinking that what's currently happening in both Argentine and the US is a good thing because it very visually demonstrates what happens when the system does not work for the people. It is only by example that the masses will learn.

Oh no, I guess we should just roll over and let the fascists win then. Flawless logic there buddy, really glad you took the time to type that out.

No? Who said that? Are there only two options?
Vandals_handle@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 334d
The heritage foundation is the force behind project 2025. The president of the heritage foundation said the takeover of America would be bloodless if the left allows it to be.
So what's the third option?
atzanteol@sh.itjust.works · 2 pts · 333d
So you're armed and organizing an army to kill people? Or are you just "rolling over and letting the fascists win?"
...or are there other options?
