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

[–] tigeruppercut@lemmy.zip 14 points 10 months ago

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

[–] DaiDactylos@feddit.uk 7 points 10 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

[–] OutsiderInside@lemmy.world 6 points 10 months ago

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 10 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 10 months ago (1 children)

yeah, this is nothing but red flags

[–] Soyweiser@awful.systems 13 points 10 months ago

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

[–] froztbyte@awful.systems 7 points 10 months ago

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

[–] dgerard@awful.systems 14 points 10 months ago

i'm sure they're working for someone

[–] mountainriver@awful.systems 10 points 10 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 10 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] Sebeck012@feddit.nl -3 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 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

[–] froztbyte@awful.systems 3 points 10 months ago (1 children)

read the sidebar, you weird fuckwit

[–] Sebeck012@feddit.nl -1 points 9 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 9 months ago

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

[–] ThrowawayPermanente@sh.itjust.works -4 points 10 months ago

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