And so begins the parade of Argentinians having their faces eaten off by leopards after voting for the Leopards Eating Faces Party.
Imagine voting for someone that wants to get rid of the department of education.

They’ve been getting their faces eaten off, so they voted for the other party that will eat their face hoping it will change this up.

They really watched Brazil get fucked by rightwing policies for 6 years and thought “I want that”.
tiita@lemmy.world 11 months ago
I just don’t get it. Every time a right wing government people get fucked and more fucked. Arguably even with left governments, but brexit / trump / bosonaro level fucked it’s is hard to achieve…
And people still vote for these train wrecks…
What am I missing? What do I need to do get it? Lower my iq seems to be a possible answer, but I’m really struggling to see it
Gabu@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Most of the people making up their voter base are quite literally brainwashed. I’ve seen it happen with my parents – years of subtle manipulation by the media eventually turned their brains to mush. They quite literally can’t form their own opinions anymore and need guidance from the rightwing cult.
ours@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Way easier to be “against X, Y and Z” than to actually build/fix something. They’ll just find other bogeymen and the worse the things get, the more tempting being against these bogeymen will look like to the voters.
Fredselfish@lemmy.world 11 months ago
I have theory might be crazy but what the hell. Think about some phrasing. We tell people when they do something good they do the RIGHT thing. Majority of humans are RIGHT handed.
Everything good is gear towards the going RIGHT. We even record advanments like time, and progress as moving to the RIGHT.
Here in America our calendar move to the RIGHT.
So maybe that might be why we keep moving RIGHT politically even though that is a horrible thing.
Because anything to the LEFT is seen as bad.

There’s this great thread in the Disco Elysium reddit from years ago. This guy posted and complained that all the family first nation first choices that were part of his morals were making him align with the fasc. Having to do the thumb up the ass salute. All that stuff.

Trump’s advisors are reading that list and salivating.

Javier Milei's advisors are salivating because they're clones of the president's former dog Conan who died in 2017. No I'm not making that up.

In properly set democracy this should not be possible. President should not have that kind of power to affect other branches of power.
In general president should not have too much power at all, because it is stupid to have just one person to be able to cause so much change in general. Looking at you US.
rustydrd@sh.itjust.works 11 months ago
Presidential offices and ministries are both part of the executive branch of governments, though. Ministries are primarily there to organize the executive’s work, so while removing ministries will affect that, it won’t affect the separation of powers (like, say, the removal of responsibilities from a court or a chamber of parliament would).
Kleinbonum@feddit.de 11 months ago
That absolutely doesn’t mean that the power to create or disband ministries has to rest with the executive branch.
In fact, it can easily be argued that creating the framework in which the executive branch operates is the domain of the legislative branch - so the creation, merging, splitting or disbanding of ministries should also be a power of the legislative branch.
Or you could argue that it should be a power that should be shared between an administration and parliament, where an administration could introduce a motion to change ministries to parliament, and parliament wild have to vote on it.
Lots of possibilities.

I know a few Argentinians and since I live in Chile I know a lot about what’s going on there. They have a lot of useless ministers for almost everything, at this point the previous government could have easily added the ‘ministry of non-important matters’ Their state manages the education really bad, many Argentinians complain about that, all those things managed by the state work really bad and are fueled by taxes. I agree that Milei’s ideas are crazy, but seeing the options in Argentina, he was the less bad option there.
Imagine a state sucking almost every currency from every citizen just to fuel useless state institutions. I hope Argentina will recover with this change.
Avg@lemm.ee 11 months ago
I guess we are all about to find out how true that is.
camelCaseGuy@lemmy.world 11 months ago
As an Argentinian living abroad and having left the country for how unbearable it was, I can tell you it’s true. I’m not saying some of those things aren’t important, but Argentina’s Government is like a crackhead. You give it some money and expenditure capabilities, and the next thing you know is at the shadiest dealer, buying as much of the worst stuff.
You need to cut the vicious cycle somewhere. Unfortunately for Argentina, that place is Welfare State.

Bolsonaro eliminated the Labor minister first day of his government and made the economy minister absorb its functions. It’s had to re-establish it quietly at half of his government because the economy minister couldn’t keep with the job, but meanwhile slave labor on Brazil skyrocketed.

Imho. They are not voting based on those facts. They voted for him because he said the things they want to hear. Nothing to do with the truth; you’re not being kept down by billionaires, it is those (wink) people….
No one who thought about it ever thought trump would build that wall and Mexico would pay for it; but people scared of MS-13 being active in their podunk town rallied around him for saying that
MataVatnik@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Argentinian here, they voted for him because they believe these ministries are overly burdened with corruption, meaning all the money gets embezzled and the ministries don’t actually function. Massa, the opposing candidate, minister of economy had an 150% increase in inflation during his tenure. Lastly, they don’t think it can get much worse so why not try something different

Except he won’t be the next leader. He will either be removed by another more extreme person or society will reject his ideals and swing to the opposite position.
All of the populist leaders have the shortest life span.
The problem is we collectively keep buying into it.
pinkdrunkenelephants@lemm.ee 11 months ago
Doubtful. Putin for example has been in power for decades. Stalin ruled Russia with an iron fist for the rest of his natural life after rising to power. Unless they’re overthrown, that’s what dictators do. That’s the whole point of dictatorships, to make the leaders the new kings.
There’s nothing stopping that dude from suspending elections and just ruling indefinitely.

That’s called dictatorship. Argentinian people are not new to it.

Libertarianism will always quickly devolve into authoritarian corporatocracy. Basically they support the law of the jungle, i.e. the strong can do whatever they want to the weak. Which is textbook fascism.

ExLisper@linux.community 11 months ago
He’s not in office yet. He will be sworn in in December I believe.
Libertarianism is simply a scam trying to make the rich even richer. If there’s no public education it will be substituted by private schools. People will pay more, rich people will get richer. The hole idea is basically rich people looking and public services and infrastructure and thinking “this could be way more profitable if I run it”. Of course the point for public services is not to turn profit, it’s to provide services to as many people as possible in a cost effective way.

madcaesar@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Every right winger from Saudi Arabia, to France, to Argentina, to the US is the same. They are angry, scared and most of the time poorly educated.
They are usually people with shit jobs who are losing their shit jobs and retirement to the elite. They don’t know how to deal with this except lash out against immigrants and minorities.
If they look to the left for help usually they’ll be told they are stupid (like me here) and to stop trying to dominate others.
I don’t really have a solution to all their manufacturing jobs being moved to China, but I know oppressing women and killing gays ain’t it.
So they have two options. Vote left, which will do nothing to help them and most of the time won’t even acknowledge there is a problem. Or vote right, which tells they their anger is justified and if they can just get rid of this one last minority group things will go back to being great like they used to be!

Far right: Constantly having hallucinations about the United Nations being controlled by far left and vaccines = poison.
Both are in a competence to show who has less neurons.
