Argentina

this guy who is likely to win sounds like a fucking loon. of course my cousins (by marriage) in argentina support him, to our dismay. he has a huge following among the youth which is bewildering. argentina as a country is in continual fucking crisis.

It's terrible what has been happening to Argentina for well over two decades now. Must be such a struggle for the people.

I see.

🗳️ 🤯

Mr. Milei overcame criticism and questions about a variety of unusual behaviors during the campaign, including his harsh attacks against the pope, his clashes with Taylor Swift fans, his claims of being a tantric-sex guru, his dressing up as a libertarian superhero and his close relationship with his Mastiff dogs that are named for conservative economists — and are also all clones.

Guy looked at Trump and was like, hold my beer.

"Milei is the owner of five English Mastiffs, with the progenitor being Conan, who died in 2017 after suffering from spinal cancer. He considers Conan his son and has named four of Conan's six clones, including one named after the original and another named Angelito,[280] Milton (in honor of Milton Friedman), Murray (in honor of Murray Rothbard), Robert, and Lucas (both named after Robert Lucas)...

"Milei stated that he communicates with the dogs through a mystic.[12] For example, he commented that the new Conan provides ideas on general strategy, Robert is the one who makes him 'see the future and learn from mistakes,' Milton is in charge of political analysis, and Murray of the economy. When asked about this by El País journalist Martín Sivak and Nicolás Lucca of Radio Rivadavia, Milei did not deny it, and said: 'What I do with my spiritual life and in my house is my business. If Conan advises me on politics, it means that he is the best consultant of humanity.'

"Milei said he had dialogues with the likes of Rothbard and Ayn Rand. In 2015, he cited Conan as a source of inspiration for his writing. About Conan's death in 2017, Milei said that Conan had not really died (he described it as 'his physical disappearance' and continued to refer to Conan in the present tense) but had gone to sit next to God to protect him, and that it was thanks to this that he had begun to have talks with God himself. According to González, Milei wrote to a friend in a chat: 'I saw the resurrection of Christ three times, but I can't talk about it. They would say I'm crazy.' According to various sources consulted by La Nación, Milei maintains that he and Conan have a mission that was assigned to them by God and has a mystical story with Conan. He said that he met Conan, who was a lion, as a gladiator in the Roman Colosseum about 2,000 years earlier."

Way to go, Argentina.

I know the other guy was the boring choice, but I mean, who wouldn't have been?

Thinking outside the box

I saw someone write, well, it's not like things could get any worse in Argentina. And the immediate reply was: 'yes it can, we already had a hyper inflation of 4000% in 1989 and 2000% in 1991 and a complete economic and social collapse with 5 presidents in a month in 2001 and 25% unemployment for the next 3 years and 60% poverty and every state issuing their own worthless currency because they didn't have money to pay for anything."

Yep

Really not surprised that donating organs to survive is going to be an option

From a locked account:

"I was genuinely convinced that Massa was going to win before the first runoff. But then I saw the interview where Millei was having a mental breakdown on TV and I knew he had already won"

Feel like I know in quite granular detail this guys position on just about everything without having to check, except for the Russia-Ukraine war

Probably thinks the Jews did it.
