How young Argentines might put a far-right libertarian into power
How young Argentines might put a far-right libertarian into power
Javier Milei emerged from the fringe and is leading the polls ahead of Sunday’s election.
You're viewing a single thread.
Jesus why is Lemmy so leftist when it's literally an anti intervention platform. Most of you circle jerking about liberal = bad don't understand what it's like to have your first world country turned into another Venezuela in less than one lifetime because of populist leftists governments that just take public rights as an excuse to gain popularity contests and ransack the fucking country.
Milei is not a good option no, but the others options literally fucked us all the way into 50% poverty and 130% anual Inflation solely trough government spending and taking away all economical liberties trough taxes.
Just take a look at how many dollar exchange rates we have and how we pay 120% in taxes for anything not national (which is practically everything) despite the fact that people have salaries that are 10x lower than that of any developed country
You guys sit in your high horse in a first world country complaining how "everything has gone to shit" and think the same rules and logic apply to anywhere else but you're sadly mistaken.
Edit: If the US applied all the policies Argentina currently has in place you'd think the fucking apocalypse happened and you'd be calling leftists fucking Nazis
Could you please explain further what does it mean to be an "anti-intervention platform" and why lemmy is one?
I think what they meant is that Lemmy doesn't have that kind of pull where the users can bring about a change/reversal of political movements.
Also, the anti-intervention platform probably is about the increased skepticism about neo-liberalism policies here (at least since I've joined).
But if neoliberalism is the deregulation of the market, why being skeptical of it would be "anti intervention" when it is what neoliberalism is about (the government not intervening in the economical apects)
I ment in the sense of this platform existing to avoid outside intervention. Or am I mistaken in thinking the whole point of a federated system is to avoid corporate and political intervention allowing a "truly" flee platform?
Federated social medias were made in order to regive the power to the user away from the corporations more interested in making profit than keeping their userbase happy. This is quite leftist if you ask me. Indeed it also reduces the power that a government has on a platform, as centralization makes it easier to control, but this wasn't the main goal. Just like linux, or FOSS in general
