Fabulous article that details how Argentina went from Being the wealthiest country in world to now

[sts7049]

It always amazes me coming back to this forum how many yanks hate their adopted country just like those of the Argentine right wing do.

It begs the question, why don't you all f@ck off back to the land of the free?

Ah..yes...your sh!tty social security payments couldn't cover a pot to p!ss in the US, whereas the adopted country you all seem to hate offers you a life you could only dream of in the "land of the free".

are you only allowed to think shitty of your homeland? meaning you should not form opinions about anywhere else just because you aren't a native?

This is a very superficial and limited analysis. Far more accurate and relevant is this article that I posted elsewhere: https://www.theamericanconservative.com/argentina-milei-and-the-international-new-right/

No, sorry. After the intro, as soon ask this guy Laje starts talking, his very sentence set off the old bullshit detector. His very first sentence -

"Agustín Laje: Kirchnerismo, a mixture of Peronismo—a catch-all populist movement that has dominated Argentine politics for 80 years—and 21st-century socialism, has been the most significant player in Argentine politics since 2003, since the beginning of the presidency of Néstor Kirchner, followed by his wife Cristina Fernández de Kirchner, now vice president of Argentina."

Socialism, the great bugbear of all conservatives. But he obviously doesn't know WTF the word actually means. This is just one more idiot, talking out his ass.

Why don't you read the article, not just a couple of paragraphs before making a judgment. Open your mind to a little enquiry.

From a Telesur article -

Argentina's Macri Orders Dismantling of Hugo Chavez Hall

...The President Hugo Chavez Frias Hall is located in the Casa Patria Grande, Nestor Kirchner, an institution in the capital city of Buenos Aires created by former Argentine President Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner.

The historical institution was named after her late husband, who preceded her as president.

The hall was inaugurated in November 2013, to honor the work of the Bolivarian Revolution leader in Argentina...

There's a saying -

What troubles me is that there are expats who want to sustain the current system because it's to their advantege, no matter how much most Argentines have to suffer.

Actually I'd disagree with you. I don't think people hate their adopted country. They LOVE their home countries. Americans love the USA. It's just getting to the point it's not affordable for the masses and will get worse. In 5-10 years you're going to see Americans flocking USA and looking for more affordable places. Places like Argentina.

As well, the ones I know LOVE Argentina. They just don't like this shitty politics there and the broken system. They want to see things improve there. I totally agree with you the shitty Social Security payments won't cover anything. The average SS payment is only $1725 US dollars. You can't do anything with that in the USA. But in Argentina if you have a paid off place, you can live like a king.

Milei should do things like a Golden Visa program and many other measures. Argentina is a dream for retirees. And it will be in the future as well. Watch and see. These are people that will fall in love with Argentina as well. Many people want to see Argentina do really well and succeed. But it can't without systemic changes.

The most frustrated people are not people that "hate their adopted country" as you say. They really are passionate about and love Argentina and that's why they want to see it change so badly.

$1,725 is the GROSS average. When Part B is deducted it is a good deal less. Also many people get less than the average. Even so, it's many times more than Argentine pensioners get.

I read more than "just a couple paragraphs" but it's all the same. Just a litany of talking points and the usual political boilerplate.
