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.

Maybe research Argentina before assuming liberal = bad hurr durr. We’ve been literally turned into another Venezuela by the current governing party that has been in power something like 20 of the last 28 years

Maybe research liberal before you mix it up with libertarian.

Republican Proposal is a Center-right liberal party

La Libertad Avanza is a libertarian party aka Neo-Nazis.

libertarian party aka Neo-Nazis.

That’s not an “also known as”. Both libertarians and Neo-Nazis are usually found on the right side of the political spectrum and their membership may overlap/parties may support both ideologies, but they’re not the same.

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.

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.

You clearly never lived in Argentina. Milei isn’t a good option but the leftists governments we’ve had over the last 40 years literally turned us from a super power to a third world country.

It’s all complete bullshit and there’s no good choice only the lesser evil.

If you start investigating how our economy and government works you’ll see why people are giving this guy their vote

The current economy crash began in 2016, not 4 years ago. As usual, one party screws everything up and the other gets the blame

World News

Create post

A community for discussing events around the World

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.
