How it started…

 

 

 

 

And how it’s going…

 

 

[Jairzinho]

It's remarkable how easily the right forgets how stupid it is showing solidarity with other right wing governments. They're right wing, they're going to hate your country. It's what they do.

Stig will be getting his reserve status activated…

[Kepler-186]

A rundown on the “reforms” recently enacted by Presidential decree in Argentina. Absolutely crazy stuff. 
 

 

[Kepler-186]

Shady stuff indeed and top Conservative politicians are up to their necks in this.

Serves people right for being retarded, same with Trump and Johnson. People reap what they sow.

There’s an element of that to

it, unfortunately. 

[SasaS]

Isn't this just the watered-down version of what he said he will do and they voted for?

[polymerpunkah]

Just for the record, when was their last military coup?

I’ve got the book to read Blood on The Crossbar about the late 70s to 80s junta and the ‘78 World Cup.

Which part you didn't like, that they voted for the economics professor with crazy libertarian ideas, or that this is not all El Loco promised them? Central bank isn't even abolished yet and national currency replaced by dollar.

BTW, for people into fictional accounts of Argentina during the dirty war, I recommend Nathan Englander's Ministry of Special Cases.

I still can't believe so called humans went out and voted for either of them cunts. If you ever want to know why the planet is a shit-hole, look at them weird cunts.

I don’t like the part where ordinary people get screwed over by cunts. 
 

Simple enough for you?

From "Davos day two" on the Guardian :

 

 

[Jairzinho]

Yes, he's mentally ill.

[SasaS]

I bet I can guess his favourite author.

[Bjornebye]

I preferred him the he was in The Kooks 

[Section_31]

We've been in the place for a while where the western world is being eaten from within by free market capitalism, yet blaming socialism, which isn't even a thing in the western world. 

 

Said right wing ideology continues to cause havoc, and idiots continue to support it.

 

The villains of the piece are not in fact the bankers, the austerity architects and the brexit charlatans, but black lives matter and lefty lawyers.

[SasaS]

No, no, no...

 

By socialism, Milei means all sorts of government interventions, central banks, subsidies, allowances and benefits, helicopter money and such. As in comrade Rishi Yashvirovich Sunak, leader of the British socialist government.
