They dug up a guy from the 70s to run the country.

[–] tigeruppercut@lemmy.zip 14 points 5 months ago

Might be an 80s guy. He should remember to fix his boneitis though

[–] DaiDactylos@feddit.uk 7 points 5 months ago

He looks like a British professional darts player from the 1970s.

This guy looks like a 1950s Argentina’s politician who time travelled to 2025

50s was a good time for politics, until we fell for a militar coup in 55, where civilians were bombarded by our own airforce.

Libra

could have sworn that this was the zuckcoin that was making the rounds a few years ago. I looked it up, they rebranded to “diem” due to legal issues before cancelling it altogether.

Libra-now-Diem, yeah. it was a full-on attempt to take the reins of value transmission and storage ("be the economy, be the bank"), beyond just coin

(also written about by david (which I haven't read (yet?) because handwave all my usual things on fire))

Two scams for the name of one. Double Zuck Grifting!!!

Is it a rug pull if it was only ever a way to funnel Russian money into Milei's pocket? I don't think average folks fall for grifts like this, or Trump's meme coin. It's just a new way to bribe people.

Like, in days past, they'd have just donated a bunch of money to Milei's charitable organizations that would turn around and pay Milei exorbitant speaking fees.

That deserves a paddle'n

Lolololol you’re way too brown for 400 million Americans to make room on the Mars Arkkk for you. It only seats three - Elon, the kid, and the sperm in Dons seat.

Argentina is a Trump (Americans) toady just like the Nazis. Also apparently a whore for people who approve Naziism to make money with crypto.

[–] Soyweiser@awful.systems 14 points 5 months ago (2 children)

You sound crazy and you use anti sexworker language ( after some racist language). Nothing you say has to do with the article linked. Also weirdly conspiratorial tone. Not a fan of that.

[–] self@awful.systems 11 points 5 months ago (1 children)

yeah, this is nothing but red flags

[–] Soyweiser@awful.systems 13 points 5 months ago

I'm just sitting here going 'you are hating this guy wrong!'

That's really weird. I've heard that his economy reforms are actually working.

[–] dgerard@awful.systems 14 points 5 months ago

i'm sure they're working for someone

[–] mountainriver@awful.systems 10 points 5 months ago

Economic Shock Doctrine works great for the oligarchs. Less well for everyone else. So it's not strange that Milei wants to scam his supporters and hand oligarchs a direct way to show their gratitude.

[–] Amoeba_Girl@awful.systems 5 points 5 months ago (1 children)

That's weird. I've heard you were a spambot.

[–] Sebeck012@feddit.nl -3 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago) (1 children)

If you have some other insightful video that argues against the one I posted please share. The video I posted represents the (quite shallow) depth of my knowledge on the subject of the economic and political situation in Argentina. 🤷

Edit: found this explaining the crypto issue, interesting. https://youtu.be/KFHWFeHYhok

read the sidebar, you weird fuckwit

[–] Sebeck012@feddit.nl -1 points 5 months ago (1 children)

No idea what's going on or what I did wrong. I browse by "all". All I get is insults 🤷

[–] froztbyte@awful.systems 2 points 5 months ago

we already have hilbert curves, you don't need to go fill space just because it's there

Yep. He should stick to governing and do less online nonsense.
