another clown leading the world to fascism.

[-] nexusband@lemmy.world 13 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

The fuck? Where have you been hiding and getting news for all he's trying to do? He's as far away from fascism as the Earth is old.

He's got some very...questionable positions and some things I absolutely disagree with, but fascism is most definitely not something he's associated with. In fact, I'd argue he's as anti-fascist as it gets.

Fascism needs four things: Ultranationalism, Authoritarian Rule, Violent opression of your opposition and economic protectionism. All four things are as far away from his positions as it gets.

Yes, he's very conservative on some issues and has a pretty far right stance on others, but he's doing the complete opposite to repress different opinions. He's opening the country up, he's for same aex marriage and so on. I don't agree about having to privatize everything and I think it's a very bad idea, but that's not fascism.

His political allies are Trump and Bolsnaro GTFO here with this blind bootlicking bullshit.

Getting downvoted just for asking for some civil discussion... I'm getting some "good" old-fashioned reddit vibes here.

[-] rosymind@leminal.space 6 points 9 months ago

Yeah, I've noticed Lemmy has started to be less tolerant of different ideas/opinions lately. Not a fan of that.

We need open discussions and disagreements, and being as civil as possible helps to facilitate that. Otherwise things devolve, some become afraid to voice their thoughts, and trolls thrive off of the attention.

It's super important that we try to remember there is another person on the other side (even I fail at this at times, but we need to keep trying!)

Yes, but I also want nothing to do with a community that platforms fascists.

[-] nexusband@lemmy.world 8 points 9 months ago

FFS, just because he's adopted some anti-socialist stances that align with Trump and Bolsonaro, he's a political ally? God, i wish the world was that easy and black and white. Get some fucking political education, all you clowns that upvoted this shit.

If you can't see the red flags from a mile away, then I'm sorry for you.

[-] DigitalTraveler42@lemmy.world 8 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

Nothing like sleep walking right into another Videla, you're as oblivious to it as any of these MAGAtards here in the states, I hope you head down to the clue store to buy yourself a clue before Milei starts sending people to the camps or declares himself dictator for life.

[-] ANIMATEK@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago

Those statements seems like you are the clueless one buddy. Sorry to break your bubble.

[-] ours@lemmy.world 1 points 9 months ago

You brought up a good point and tarnished it with an insult.

He may not a fascist but he's certainly far-right and he allies with fascists.

Are you Argentinian?

[-] ANIMATEK@lemmy.world 5 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

Every time a post about this guy comes up people start commenting like they know anything about Argentine politics.

The previous party (and only other option) was paying off IMF’s debt with money lended from China. There were printing money like there is no tomorrow. There were tight controls on the prices of everything. All while spending like crazy. Basically, they took all the money they could from every possible way.

Argentina needs drastic reforms and costs cutting. No wonder US and the IMF are applauding Milei’s plan.

More people ITT should get their first word asses up for a bit and take a look at the reality of our country instead of blindly hating on the new right winger. He is far from perfect, but also he’s the best we can produce, period.

[-] prole@sh.itjust.works 7 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

Just because the other guys suck, doesn't make this guy ok. Or not a fascist.

[-] ANIMATEK@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago

Choosing the lesser evil is a reality for Argentinians.

I am curious about you saying he is a fascist. Why exactly? Look up that definition before answering.

But again, what would you know speaking from your comfortable first world chair. The guy is not great by any means, I even would agree with you that he is not “ok”. But he is the best we’ve got. The other side is worse, nothing we can do about it.

[-] prole@sh.itjust.works 1 points 9 months ago

But he is the best we’ve got.

Ok. How about we meet here again in 2 years and see where you stand then?

[-] SuddenDownpour@sh.itjust.works 5 points 9 months ago

No wonder US and the IMF are applauding Milei’s plan.

This is very much not a good thing in my book. The IMF has a historical record of always recommending austerity policies that always fail to let the country staying afloat.
