Out of the frying pan and into the fire. I understand Argentinians are utterly fed up and willing to roll the dice. This will be even worse... Sad times.

Sad times.
- s1gnp0st 3y agoIf it's better for them, how will that change your perspective if at all?
- jmfldn 3y agoSure it will yep. I'm pretty confident it won't be though. I am half-Argentine and a student of history. Both things tell me it will be a disaster. For what it's worth, I'm utterly opposed to the corrupt useless Peronists. Their centre right rivals are pretty awful too. Argentina was lead to the abyss by decades of political failure and corruption. Now, in desperation, they've rolled the dice and summoned a catastrophe.

- dang 3y agoCould you please stop posting unsubstantive comments and flamebait? You've unfortunately been doing it a lot, and it's not what this site is for, and destroys what it is for. If you wouldn't mind reviewing https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and taking the intended spirit of the site more to heart, we'd be grateful.
- Izikiel43 3y agoIt’s not flame bait, it’s complaining that people look at other country politics like it’s the USA, when the situation in the local country differs substantially from what a regular American experiences. A lot of people are making unsubstantive comments and flamebait, without the context that Argentina is in, with an economic situation that for the average American is unimaginable. If you feel it’s flamebait, then I’m sorry for try to educate people about other countries they don’t have any idea about.
- dang 3y agoI know that users do that, and they shouldn't, but your post was certainly flamebait, as well as personal, as well as an internet trope ("tell me without telling me"), and the site guidelines ask you to avoid all of that. It's certainly possible to make your substantive points thoughtfully, and in the spirit of curiosity that is supposed to be the core value here. Why not do that instead? If you really want to educate people, you'll get much further that way.
