This article is pretty unhinged but hilarious and even by the guardian standards it's obvious the person writing this allegedly from Argentina is a full on lefty. It gives you a very interesting look at the mindset of the left yet again when they're confronted with realities and opposition they don't like.
This is one of my favourite bits.
poses not only a worrying question for my country’s fragile 40-year-old democracy, but could also embolden other extreme libertarians in the US and Europe in their own anti-woke wars.
Then it really starts getting unhinged where they deny the blatant evidence of how many outright marxist professors there are in all western universities. Going back to tactics the media used of pretending there is no culture war and education etc. hasn't been infiltrated.
From this seed, the generals developed a conspiracy theory, not unlike the Protocols of the Elders of Zion, that Marxists had infiltrated universities, Hollywood and the Catholic church, to undermine “our western and Christian way of life”. The “cultural Marxism” conspiracy theory can be heard in the US and the UK today.
embraced even by conservatives that the armed forces would never be allowed to return to government, not even as defenders of the capitalist faith.
Major freudian slip there, trying to present themselves as this moderate and they use capitalist like it's some kind of slur and claim it's a religion lol.
Part of my job was translating the speeches of the generals, full of references to “cultural Marxism” – a genocidal conspiracy theory that Milei chillingly resurrected for his campaign.
If Milei even does half of what he promised leftists are going to develop MDS ( Milei Derangement Syndrome ) real fast. These people really are just massive cunts.
I hope he can accomplish something. People haven't talked much about the legislature and whether he can get their support.
As we've seen from Israel and the US. I'd be more worried about fighting the judiciary.
True, that's been a problem across all of South America as well.
TRIBUNALES, AFUERO!
The coverage on Argentina has been absolutely shit and I think it's purely because of how many western journalists now are just sitting in leftist cities spewing off propaganda. They've uncritically taken on this person's opinion as gospel because it suits the message but they're barely really keeping track properly of what he's actually doing and what's going on in the country generally.
It reminds me very much of when the freedom trucker protests happened, weird comparison I know but it was like half of reddit was from Ottawa and it explained so damn much and this seems to be the case with Argentina as well since they're so utterly western centric.
Even if the only thing accomplished was revealing the secret terms of those yuan swaps poured on the previous administration I'd still consider it a success.
