I saw one post on X with a lot of replies and they were all saying how great Milei is and what a wonderful thing he is doing, and some were Argentinians. Others were saying how they wished their country would do the same as Milei was doing.
All I could think of is where is Bluegazer when I need him?
Ok, there is an explanation. Many of these comments and expressions can be divided into the following factors: Ignorant of the Argentine reality (and of geopolitics in general), trolls/bots.
It is already known here that Milei's government did not spare in using bots and other influencers for its campaign and now to draw a false reality and damage control. It is clear that those who fall for his deceitful discourse are the citizens who are angry with everything (politicians, economy, etc.) and those who live relatively well (still) and only care about themselves. Also add the one who has a vehement hatred against everything that seems leftist, communist, socialist, progressive, woke.... people who pretend to destroy an anthill with a nuclear weapon... and who also make projection, boasting of being Nationalist-Conservatives... with a lot of skeletons in their closet.
So between these things and the fact that the Argentinean, as I mentioned in the last post, is quite contradictory, makes anyone suddenly find themselves transported to wonderland.
And I would like to add that a new phenomenon is taking place in the social aspect. This would have started since Argentina won the World Cup, with the Washington Post article:
A biased and cherry picked article, which was not only highly criticized by Argentines, but also disproved by the true history of Argentina.
However, the tendency since then to criticize the country for its racism has come in waves. An almost non-existent racism. Here classism predominates, not racism.
What is going on? That from time to time tourists (mostly from the U.S.) of African origin appear. And they don't take long to talk nonsense. You only have to read the comments and find out the disgust that provokes so many fallacies.
This one says we have a fetish for black women here. And no, there is no lack of flavor in the food here, it's not our fault that your palate is destroyed by too many doritos and mountain dew.
"Mexican-American" (pfffff ha ha ha ha)
What can I say that we don't already know?
