Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Being honest, compared to other far-right "leaders" Milei doesn't seem that "crazy" (so far).
What i mean by this is that he hasn't (again, as of now) come up with some crazy, impossible, or outright discriminating laws unlike his other far-right "peers".
So far his plan is to re-activate Argentinian economy no matter what. Which, given Argentina's current circumstances (half the country's population being poor), is actually really reasonable and straight forward.
And yes, it's really sad that he's the only candidate that looks like can make an actual change. But if you've followed Argentinian politics in the last decades (high levels of corruption/incompetence), you'll realize that Milei is what Argentina actually needs right now.
My man's out here about to close the Argentinian central bank and let people legally sell organs while sticking up for the dictatorship, and against abortion, and your response is "Milei is what Argentina actually needs right now."?
The Kirchner people stole everything in Argentina that wasn't nailed down , Milei is about to take the rest.
Oh he is. There was a US-backed dictatorship in the 70's that killed 30.000 people, he's actively downplaying it as just a "conflict between two sides", using the exact same words as the military did in those days. Also what he's saying isn't new, it's repeating things from the '90s that already had us in crippling debt, with no political institutions and lots of police brutality. He's only doing so good because the main political parties are having a major internal leadership crisis. We managed to save ourselves in the early 2000's, we may not get that lucky again.
Yo soy chileno 🇨🇱, así que entiendo bien el tema de la dictadura. 🙁
Pero si tuviese que elegir entre Javier Milei y José Antonio Kast (su actual equivalente chileno, el cuál literalmente es un Neo-Nazi), definitivamente elijo a Milei.
Son lo mismo. Cada uno usa discursos ligeramente distintos dependiendo de la zona (entiendo que en chile la opinión pública de la dictadura es muy distinta a la de acá), pero están bancados por la misma gente y traen el mismo plan económico de subordinación. Son los cóndores que volvieron.
We already had a "Milei" during the 90s, Carlos Menem, a figure libertarians like him and his followers love to defend, despite being one the most devastating presidents we've ever had. The only difference is that Menem actually supported government funded R&D programs, other than that, it's the same but with promise of "it's gonna work guys! For real this time!"
Holy fuck, what a revolutionary idea. How is that nobody tough on that before?
Either the article is dead wrong about him being far-right, or he's a menace to any country he might try to govern. There is no place for the far right outside of a graveyard.
Milei is the worst thing that can happen to us Argentinians. And most of us know it. He means no change in the slightest, at least when talking about real change. He's just a puppet of the far right and corporations.
This argument was said about Trump in 2016 as well.
Because clearly Argentina is in the same situation as the US and as such all the same logic applies right???
Obviously there are never any parallels throughout history and there's no global political trends.
