Yeah I understand that. It is the definition of white supremacy though. We are better because we're europeans.

Yikes! Mexicans are Indians, Brazilians are Jungle People, but we Argentines are Europeans. As much as I dislike the whole wokeness movement, I think you can safely label this as "white supremacy" How does each new Argentine president make the previous one look like a genius?

Interesting, I would have never guessed that about Bullrich. I thought she had come out of the womb a conservative to be honest. Kind of a shame she is washing her history a bit. It would make her more likable if she embraced it, and told how her life experiences have changed her philosophy. In...

I'm not a fan of Alberto & Co, but the opposition is pathetic. Bullrich :rolleyes: , never saw anyone with less charisma than her. One of those old school conservatives with no new ideas.

Uruguay needs to survive and do what's best for them, but they are facilitating the collapse of an ecosystem in the South Atlantic sea. Is that not evil? Well, according to Redpossum, who seems pretty well read. I have no idea if that's true or not. The Argentine state seems very powerless...

I wasn't suggesting a military invasion, more of something on the economic side.

Does Argentina have limited leverage to coerce Uruguay into certain actions?

Yes there were environmental concerns especially around Gualeguaychu of the pollution that the pulp mill would potential cause. I haven't heard anything about that project since. Has it caused the pollution that they had feared? My point is that a large country like Argentina should...

I understand that, and they may have their valid reasons. However, you'd think that Argentina has some type of leverage at their disposal to apply to the situation to make Uruguays life more difficult if they don't comply. As you'd laid out it's not a minor issue, but billions of dollars of...

Why doesn't the Argentine government pressure Uruguay to not allow this? You'd think if your neighboring country was facilitating billions of dollars of lost resources per year, you'd lean pretty hard on them to stop.

Pensador - are you still enjoying the good life on the beach in Uruguay?

From Fiscal's posts, he lives in the province of Santa Fe. That area had lots of immigration of Ukrainian Jews, very white skin color. It all depends on the province. If you go to Jujuy, most of the population has indigenous features. I'd say Argentina is much whiter, maybe the whitest...

Popes don't exactly have the best track record. The last one was a Nazi youth.

Huh? What's the devil's advocate part? She said the news of the death of William Shakespeare left us all in shock because as we know he's one of the most important writers, the most referenced writers of the English language.

Agreed, exactly why I wrote - "What you say is very true though about the hypocrisy of the new groups that come into power and then repeat the same corruption that they had decried by the previous group." How am I justifying an anti capitalistic government? I haven't said anything about if I...

There is an inflation problem because Argentina is a country with punk culture, people want to live today and not the future - https://www.ambito.com/politica/alberto-fernandez/pais-punk-alcoholico-recuperacion-y-otras-definiciones-economicas-n5194783 Nothing to do monetary or economic policy.

Ain't that the truth! Interesting thoughts. I see the dictatorships as a little more than a blip because of how it shaped the current power structure in a lot of countries. Well known families throughout South America were gifted large amounts of valuable land and given exclusive rights to...

I agree, and it's much more annoying in the US because the issue is more politicized there than most other places.

I find it funny how everyone here complains about no one being careful about covid, "la gente no se cuida" and then 10 minutes later they tell you how they had a big gathering the previous Sunday with their parents, in-laws, sisters, brothers, their kids, etc. In their view it's everyone else...

Isn't the interviewee saying the problem is that the Argentine right is so ineffective and weak that they can't properly build a movement? I view the problem not one so much of conservatives vs socialists, but rather the deeply rooted institutional corruption and clientelism of mainly the...
