Javier Milei, a radical libertarian populist, elected president of Argentina

fuck

Why do people who hate the government want to be in charge of the government?

Can we stop calling this guy a libertarian? He's a Nazi, plain and simple. Let's call a spade a spade.

For he called himself Atlas and all he can do is Shrug.

Argentina has had basically the same Peronist politics for years and it has consistently failed to deliver, but still people are shocked when the Argentinians have had enough and decide to vote for something different.

He's probably going to be complete shite too, but hopefully it leads to a more moderate figure in future that can actually provide prosperity for Argentina.

This is that chainsaw psycho that uses his cloned dogs for advice....

Argentina is properly fucked if they don't revolt soon.

This is the best summary I could come up with:

BUENOS AIRES, Argentina — Argentines have overwhelmingly elected Javier Milei, an ultra-conservative economist, as the next president of the South American country.

The far-right populist and first-time congressman won the second round of the presidential election, defeating Sergio Massa, the economy minister from the ruling Peronist party.

Addressing a crowd of ecstatic supporters at the Libertador Hotel in Buenos Aires Milei said that Argentina was in a "critical situation" and that it was no time for "half measures."

Milei is a newcomer to politics, just winning a seat in the Congress two years ago with his ultra-conservative libertarian party Freedom Advances.

He's also promised to slash Argentina's generous state spending and subsidies, a prospect that had generated fear among loyal voters of the current Peronist party, which despite a powerful political machine, lost by double digits.

With his shock of unruly hair and long sideburns, Milei's outspoken style and outrageous antics have drawn comparisons to politicians like President Donald Trump and Brazil's Jair Bolsonaro.

Libertarian economist? So he's going to try Free Market Capitalism, then. And surely, that won't result in monopolies and robber barons, like it has throughout history.

His first act? Bomb the Panama canal.
