Argentina: “We’re not fucked enough at the moment. Let’s get even more fucked!”
We don’t like the candidates by the traditional parties. Let’s yolo it! :P
Well when things aren’t going well, people vote far rights, the have the simple answers. People love simple solutions for complex problems.
Doesn’t even require things to be universally bad. As long as there’s substantial apathy about the status quo and enlightened centrists going on about “both parties being the same”, the far right just needs a few disaffected groups.
Far-right conservatives and facists have found quite the successful tactic for getting into power and getting their ways on public referenda: it’s called lying and misrepresentation.
Not in Argentina’s case. There, the problem is decades of mismanagement by leftist governments that have, quite understandably, led to disillusionment among voters.
same with the far-left. they lied to their teeth to get into power and now look where they are. it’s very much expected that the pendulum swing all the way to the other side now. as sad as it is, it happens.
Do us all a favour and fuck off back to reddit
I don’t like reddit, I prefer lemmy, thank you.
The feeling isnt mutual and you literally only make this space worse for your own amusement, which is just really fucking sad dude.
My comment was about how political extremism pushes societies so far to one end of the scale that it is inevitable that will swing the other way eventually. It has happened repeatedly during history and Argentina is not an isolated case. If the “far-right” candidate is elected (as it happened in Brasil with Bolsonaro for example) it could be the result of that, of the left pushing too far and Argentinians wanting “change”. I don’t condone it, it’s just a pattern that’s observable.
Now, you don’t seem to (and many others who downvotes my comment) bother and look at my commented for its merits. You prefer to appease the mob in this bubble to make you feel good (maybe, I don’t know) and I don’t care. It is quite alright for people to not agree with each other and, to me, that’s the only way we can all improve. You didn’t care for any of it, you cursed me as if you have a moral high ground here. This is just a bubble, just like reddit id another bubble, and Facebook and X and so on. You fit in this bubble and good for you I say. I don’t fit and that’s fine too, but I do have the right to my opinion and so I will stand by it.
Thanks for showing how disrespectful your side can be and now I know exactly who I’m dealing with. Have a good day! =)
A guy that looks like Austin Powers but is actually a 4chan neonazi. Argentine is completely falling apart, this will not end well for them.
It’s also interesting how the people get constantly humiliated by neoliberalism in the modern gig economy but still vote for the (even more) extreme right, which with 100% certainty will destroy their lives even more. It’s like begging your abuser to continue.
Is this the figure with a médium to talk with his dead dog?
Yep, he is the one
He’s a horrible, idiotic, person but at least there will be some interesting economic and political studies to follow.
Argentina sure is dedicated to help economics science study
the term far right libertarian makes no sense…
