Based on a lazy google search it seems he's never commented on the issue. But, come on, first ever AnCap president, there's no way he doesn't at least try and do something.

Also learned from google, apparently he's somewhat pro-gay right, but in the typical libertarian "mind your own business" way, which I guess is better than blatant bigotry shrug-outta-hecks

He's a massive queerphobe who openly fights against anti-discrimination laws and wants to abolish quotas for trans people in public service, except that ofc he doesn't say "trans people" but uses a slur. This isn't surprising, either, all forms of libertarianism are inherently at odds with the rights of marginalized people. They'll always place free speech bs and the freedom of businesses to discriminate first, and their understanding of civil rights in general will always inherently favor those already in power.

Yeah, like I said it was a lazy google search, I saw some quotes saying he was alright with gay marriage but under a "none of my business" logic. Like most AnCap types that usually bullshit, he's fine with the rich being bigots if they want to.

The first Redditor president.

I also deeply distrust anyone with wild hair like that, as looks wild but the same every time.

Like the FTX guy and Boris Johnson.

libertarian politicians don't need to bother with consent laws, they just do all their sex crimes abroad anyways

Milei is the head of a party with virtually no representation in either legislative branch. But I have no idea how much power the President has relative to the Legislature, particularly in a country as fraught with fuckery as Argentina. I can't imagine there's a large coalition of deputies eager to ratify his zanier ideas. So it could be that Argentinans have simply elected themselves a period of prolonged legislative gridlock.

More likely Milei does a heel turn in office and aligns himself explicitly with a coalition of the bigger parties. And then he just does more bog-standard pro-business conservative fuckery, while the right-wing media sucks him off.

I'm sure he's going to come in and start firing all the last guy's ministers and then stacking the bureaucracy with as many dipshit Chicago School assholes as he can manage. If nothing else, this is going to be great for Libertarian sinecures. But as to how productive he's going to be as a policy maker? Idk. Its probably going to just boil down to breaking as much shit at the federal level as he can, in order to clear space for private businesses to claim another big chunk of the national economy and sink the national ledger into deeper receivership to its foreign creditors.

If you are in favor of legalized sex work, and also child labor...

somewhat pro-gay

Check his voter base, and his vicepresident

idk why but this particular election feels worse than a lot of others. i guess because milei is a particularly unhinged piece of shit
