Cosmopolitan liberal middle class Argentina is not Argentina on the whole. I know personally of very typical lower middle class families (teachers police etc) in the provinces where 2 family members are gay and have 'beards'. One is very clearly gay despite his efforts to hide it but it's...

The main middleclass urban areas might be progressive but Argentina is not wholly progressive. If anything I hear the opposite.

It's especially toxic when there's a noise downstairs at 3am and the man leaps out of bed to investigate while his wife and children sleep. Nothing more sexy and egalitarian than a man weighing 50lbs more than his wife/partner whimpering 'Did you hear that?! Can you go check...?'

Why is it weird to see White people in Chinese ads or pharmacies selling skin whitening cream?

Of course. Hitler and half the 3rd Reich live in Patagonia.

Some people are positive contributors to internet forums. Others have pathological conditions. I think its safe to say MDS (a la TDS) is now a thing. Milei: *breathes* MDSer: *WWZ zombie transformation*

Whatever one thinks of Milei's behaviour the idea that Sanchez and his wife are innocent victims is ridiculous. Spanish politics is just as corrupt as Argentine politics.

Not just BA or Argentina though is it.

The UK doesn't complain because at this stage it doesn't really care. It has no soul or backbone. It's just a globalized shite hole. If the Argentines want the islands it doesn't need F16s. They just need to swamp it with civilians arriving on the beaches claiming asylum.

Milei was always eccentric and strange but until he was in government we weren't to know how things would go. Seems he might not be as as he portrayed himself to be...desperate times called for desperate measures..'Better the devil you know,,,' wasn't an option.

Whatever the true number of The Disappeared is what is for sure is that there are those that will try to minimize or justify the dissappearances and those who will use it to victimize themselves for political and economical grift.

Well, Trump is Milei's hero so if he follows Trump's lead he will dial back on the extreme libertarianism.

There are few if any good value up and coming places which tick most of the boxes nowadays in the US et al. 20 years ago yes, not now. So there are usually big compromises. Either the place will be expensive or it will be fundamentally lacking in something. Ultimately depends what you are...

Dollarization just provides a base of economic stability. It doesn't fix a country's problems per se. From that base the country still needs to go to work to fix it's problems.
