LeopardsAteTheirFaces?

Milei—whom Trump has previously dubbed his “favorite president”—was the first foreign leader to meet the president after his victory over former Vice President Kamala Harris, and the Argentine's radical reforms have been viewed as the inspiration for Elon Musk during his time as symbolic chief of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).

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.

Wait, the right wing libertarian economic policies that have never worked before didnt work this time? I am shocked.

[-] Samskara@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 months ago

Argentina and bad economic policies have been a iconic duo for decades.

[-] richieadler@programming.dev 1 points 2 months ago

Yeah, let's not discuss US role on those policies...

[-] mazzilius_marsti@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

"yahhhhhhhhhh"

[-] Treczoks@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

Wait until the US needs help...

[-] Dragonstaff@leminal.space 2 points 2 months ago

The Treasury Secretary was asked "What if NYC needs a bail out?" and replied "Drop dead."

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. Millei‘s 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 Peron‘s 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 Chilean, not Argentinian.

[-] Tiger666@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 months ago

Allende was in Chile. Wtf are you talking about?

[-] KnitWit@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

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 didn’t worked out like they said. (Well not that shocked).

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

[-] al_Kaholic@lemmynsfw.com -1 points 2 months ago

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.

[-] Skiluros@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 months ago

Hey, I would love to be proven wrong.

It's not unreasonable to expect those committed to the current regime to ignore the findings.

[-] al_Kaholic@lemmynsfw.com 1 points 2 months ago

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.

[-] Skiluros@sh.itjust.works -1 points 2 months ago

Talk about being unhinged...

[-] al_Kaholic@lemmynsfw.com 0 points 2 months ago

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

[-] Skiluros@sh.itjust.works -1 points 2 months ago

Where did I say that?

Spamming Lemmy comments definitely makes zero to difference to anything. I can guarantee you that.

[-] al_Kaholic@lemmynsfw.com 1 points 2 months ago

Shut up cuck boy I'm sure you have more spam comment responses to make and boots to lick.

[-] phutatorius@lemmy.zip 0 points 2 months ago

It needs a revolution, not US help.

[-] atzanteol@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 months ago

Revolutions are almost always bad.

[-] Throbbing_banjo@lemmy.dbzer0.com 0 points 2 months ago

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.

[-] atzanteol@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 months ago

No? Who said that? Are there only two options?

[-] Vandals_handle@lemmy.world 0 points 2 months ago

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 0 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

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?

[-] Vandals_handle@lemmy.world 0 points 2 months ago

So you’re armed and organizing an army to kill people?

That's a clown question bro.
