  1. Vote. No, really. If people actually fucking voted, we wouldn't be in this mess.

You would think that, but the reality is probably that out if everyone who didn't vote you would get an even spread so they really don't make that big of a difference. Take other countries where voting is compulsory like Brazil and Argentina and they also elected extreme right clowns.

Millei is necessary for Argentina. Would be a bad president in America but that country desperately needed austerity

What the hell? We are at upwards 40% poverty rate wdym austerity

Argentina's core problem is their previous Peronist government's unsustainable spending and command over the economy. They have spent themselves into a crisis several times due to their high Debt:GDP ratio

Sure I hate Peronists as much as the next guy, however you can't possibly be arguing in favour of austerity when rampant poverty is killing off your populace. Milei is a piece of shit that perpetuates impoverishment by also taking debt with IMF while cutting national industry via privatisation (none of it is bought by Argentine interests, all of them foreign).
