Welcome To The Dictatorship Of Happiness

Nice pictures about Evita, the former President and something in China.
...
Well, I know I m wasting my time I better continue reading the over 50 books I bought regarding 1949 (when the totalitarian Constitution was enacted) and 1955 (when it was abolished).

Maybe add a geography book to your list...

Thanks for pics.The reader from the '50s and Mao stuff were really great finds..
The puzzle talked about the family and the state working together for your rights
However, 3 simple images would have sufficed-The Pink House, Congress and the Supreme Court buildings.Cristina was sheer demagoguery.
After closer inspection,I don't think the woman on the right in the family pic was the Granma.She could have been the big sister
Except she's blonde and the father has black hair and the mother is a redheard.Go figure!

Ups, north Korea, sorry, I couldn`t read it in my i-phone, the korean writting was too small.

Excuse me?
As far as I remember, is Vidal who says "Es tan hermoso lo que esta pasando" and Mr. President who asserts that income tax must be paid with happiness and talks about the happiness revolution.

What is wrong with asserting that people who can afford to pay taxes, should not feel 'screwed' about paying them?
That you shouldn't feel great about tax evasion and viveza in general?
What is populist about that? Do you know what the word means?
What demagoguery is in that? Do you know what that word means?

I believe that the big cultuiral mistake you (plural) do is to think that the President is a liberal. In my opinion he might look like liberal only in economis but in all the other subjects he is totalitarian. You will see that the State is going to loose a lot of people in one place like health and it is going to grow a lot in all the areas regarding police State. The political police of the call centers you were laughing so much about is a good example.

There was a time when whether one agreed with you or not, at least you were to some extent coherent. That time has basically come to an end and you've gone full Matias.

"Political police of the call centers"? Really?

I got a lot of robophone calls during the campaign. One can argue regarding whether those are productive and help influence people, or annoying and a turn-off. But political police? Seek help, man!

Nice pictures about Evita, the former President and something in China. Can you explain me why everything is painted in the yellow color of Macri`s party?????????????????????

Yes, why?????????? Question with RAGE!!!!!!!!!
Are you really going to compare picking a branding color too similar to his party's - which we can admit is a bit of an underhanded, if clever, move - with the massive propaganda and personality cult that CFK built (or maybe - let's be nice - permitted to be buit) around herself?
Maybe as a sign of respect for the yellow flowers our Dear ex-Leader planted, especially for her successor, in Olivos.
While she was accusing him - to all appearances completely falsely - of mistreating her, a lady, on the phone.

Maybe add a geography book to your list...

Let's be nice.

Bajo, that picture is not of 'something', nor 'in China'. It is of the Dear Leader (or was it Great Leader back then - the Dear one was the son, no?), Kim Il-Sung. The father of all personality cults (and mother too, I'm sure: they seem to have needed an Evita back there). And for not knowing who he is, you ought to be executed.

(Yes, the preceding words were humor).

EDIT: It's not about the Korean writing. Most of the world recognizes the face, and the imagery. You seem not to, maybe that's why the K propaganda in this country bothers you less than it does most of us.

The big problem of this country is Peronism because Peron made a successfull revolution against the liberal State and he builted a totalitarian one. After the coup against him there were military who wanted to erase totalitarism (reds) while others wanted to keep the "good" of peronism (blue). The second won and that is why the right and extreme right developed totalitarism with free
[private monopoly] market. But the left as you know is also totalitarian but comunist or socialist. So, besides radicales, all the others like the totalitarian State. Some like its economy (the former administration), some others loves its lack of freedom (the arrest of Milagros Salas with the governos saying that she is going to continue
[illegally] arrested until the acampe finishes) and monopolies but they are private instead of Stated (Clarin is a good example, now the Arsat satellited were given to them so they control 4g).

Well, I know I m wasting my time I better continue reading the over 50 books I bought regarding 1949 (when the totalitarian Constitution was enacted) and 1955 (when it was abolished).

For the record, Massa agrees with the arrest of Milagro Sala. It seems abundantly clear from the reporting that she basically built a parallel government, largely with public funds. If the law doesn't provide a way to deal with that, that's a problem with the law.

Regarding the rest of the quoted paragraph: Some of what you wrote may be interesting. I am not familiar enough with Peron-era history to agree or disagree with your premise.

What is clear is that with Macri you have built your theory and now trying to squeeze the facts into that theory. Yellow branding is just that - branding. PR. Personality cult is something different. If you don't get that, that's OK. But we all do get it.

I grew up exposed to the imagery of the Soviet Union, which by my time was on the wane but was still to be found everywhere, albeit in milder form. Look up 'socrealism' and you'll see what I mean. I and many here know propaganda when we see it. Macri's yellow et al is very, very, mild PR branding. To compare it to K propaganda is a joke, an absolute joke, an insulting joke. (By the way - free associating here - how far is one's perception of the average member of the K kleptocracy, from the old Homo Soveticus?)

You want badly - you need - to 'know' that Macri is bad, and thus to conserve your understanding of all that is right and wrong in the universe. It is time to grow up. Everything has good and bad. You pick the lesser evil. And the CFK imagery everywhere, the complete lack of accountability, the monologues instead of any real discourse, the double-speak of Anibal and Capitanich (just thinking back is puke-inducing), the INDEC formalization of lying, the teary-eyed youth listening to the Word, the AFIP intimidation, the 'no hay cepo cambiario', the postal crap (the lying worse than the fact: why not just prohibit parcels from outside? but no...), the complete and lack of any words having their proper meaning, and the list goes on forever. Compared with - government choosing yellow for its color? Sign me up.

Maybe we'll look back in 5 years, in the midst of happy repression, everybody connecting to this site with proxy servers to sneak by the Great Firewall of Macri, and reflect on how bajo called it way back when. Maybe we'll all say, "in Argentina they've cowed all the K supporters into silence and submission". Maybe.

Don't think so.

Bajo it was Cristina who took away the remaining bandwidth from arsat that was kept in reserve for years for the moronic "public" cell network.

So I'm not sure how or what the satellites have to do with 4g.

A staff of 30 people for monitoring social networks, a tv channel, and a radio ... all of them working in our Military Factories.
Should we fire them or not ?

Shocking that macri had all these people monitoring social networks etc.... oh wait no.... this was Cristina's? :lol:

 

[ElQueso]

Por ley, Fabricaciones Militares tiene como objetivo la provisión de armamentos al Estado. En su momento de mayor actividad, desarrolló el Tanque Argentino Mediano (TAM) y el avión Pucará. "En la década del 80, FM administraba 15 fábricas y contaba con 140 empleados administrativos. Hoy tiene cinco fábricas y 340 administrativos", indicó por su parte a Clarín Héctor Lostri.

By law, Fabricaciones Militares' stated objective is to provide armaments to the State. In its moment of greatest activity it developed the Argentine Medium Tank and the Pucará plane. "In the 80s, FM oversaw 15 factories and had 140 administrative employees. Today it has 5 factories and 340 administrative [employees]", Hector Lostri told the Clarin.

According to another source there were around 50 Kirchnerist employees dedicated to "tweeting" although their official status was in other parts of the company. all the employees there knew what was going on.

Newspapers, leaflets, a TV studio, a radio station called FM Comunicacion, journalists, graphics designers and so on.

So, Bajo, how does this mesh with your thought of Cristina not being a would-be dictator and doing everything according to the law? Or is this just all a set up by the "real" dictator Macri?

Maybe because poor, beleaguered Cristina had to use propaganda as an armament for the State because "Clarin miente" and continues to do so?

Nah, couldn't possibly be because Cristina was a liar, a thief and a would-be queen and used working class folks' situations to enrich herself and her cronies (think Cresta Roja as a grand example). Impossible.

 

[Pensador]

This thread has really become to me a witness of the power of propaganda when the mind is weak and susceptible. I really do believe it is the mental illness of psychopathic power seekers that are even diluted themselves playing on the mental illness or weak minds of those that are hearing what they want hear or believe. In that instead of facing reality they want something diluted they can believe in. Much like religion and religions. These belief systems and mental conditions really do take a toll on our humanity. I used laugh at or about Bajo I am starting pity him and feel sorry for him. He obviously really believes this stuff.

If Macri was intending to set himself up as a dictator he surely would not be putting himself at odds with the likes of Maduro in Venezuela and pointing crimes against humanity. Crimes the so called pro human rights Ks did not have courage to confront. The Ks where less than human the worst humanity has to offer as they would rather take bribes and contributions from dictators than confront their crimes against democracy and humanity.
