Yeah … This how humanity is going to out. Instead of rallying together to save ourselves from a changing environment, wealthy corporate interests will just manipulate everything to get conservative right wing nut jobs in power to avoid having to do anything about changing global behavior.
We’re going to sacrifice our future existence to protect the wealth of a few hundred people, who will all last just a little bit longer before all of humanity fizzles out.
This is our great filter … Human greed … and it looks like we won’t be able to get past it.
This is exactly how many life forms have extinguished themselves over the millennia both on earth and across the universe. We are an evolutionary dead end, not capable of thinking beyond our individual desires and short term interests.
Yikes, good luck Argentina.
This is what happens when the current government fails it’s people via corruption, high inflation etc: the crazies get elected.
I love that he got elected on the promise of economic shock therapy, becuse it just worked so well in Russia and the other post Soviet states./s
It won’t work for sure. That said, with the rich continually robbing people left and right by hording the last bits of wealth on this planet, desperate people do desperate things. For the time everyone’s mostly still sticking to the Democratic mode of trying to solve that issue, but I wouldn’t give it much longer before that option starts running out for some folks.
Milei has a very, very steep hill to climb, a world economic system that’s less interested in helping him out, and a Congress that’s not exactly weighing in his favor. He is very much two or three steps away from civil unrest in his country. Lots of luck to him, maybe he’s thinking he’ll be able to fake till he makes it or something.
Big surprise, Argentina electing backwards ass morons again.
Argentina gets what it voted for at this point, enjoy the increased poverty and bullshit
