Some neoconservative politician roleplaying as an anarchist reached the country's top office. He's privatising everything on a speedrun, weakening all labour regulations, waging an economic war against China, the country's top economic partner, and promised he would forfeit the country's currency to the Americans by switching to dollars. So ig for foreign investors its now or never to plunder what's left of Argentina.
- jdmoreira 3y agoHe was democratically elected with this agenda. Maybe the people there were tired of the same old crony socialist disaster and rampant inflation plus accelerated loss of quality of live. I don't know, maybe what a country with great demographics and decent territory needs in this situation is a healthy dose of western/american capitalism. I would also much rather be allied to US agendas than to Chinese agendas ANY DAY.
- zem 3y agotrump and modi were democratically elected too, so by itself that's no real measure of fitness for office.
- soco 3y agoAaaand the moment for the Godwin's law to kick in has arrived! And it's not even wrong in this context, I'd say.
- derelicta 3y agoOf course westerner-lovers prefer an alliance with US over China; they profit from it. It's easier to empty the pockets of Argentinians when they think of you as a trustworthy friend. Also regarding the healthy imposed dose of american capitalism: its funny how liberals/right wingers in the western world love to praise national sovereignty, but as soon as it is people outside of the western bubble who dream of national sovereignty, then suddenly its very bad and those dirty people should simply serve their European or American overlords without asking questions.
