Hahaha

I think people are feeling like this because the awful people that enable and drag the rest of society into these messes, never learn. Sure once shit hits the fan and it affects them deeply they'll be complaining and calling for heads to roll, but the second the rest of society fixes the messes they created, the second they get a comfortable life again, they return with the same attitudes that lead down the dark path to begin with. They just don't learn. Only changing their views when it affects them personally and then immediately flipping back when life is good again.

I had to remind myself about Milei's policies.... I mean I know he's a hapless* Trump copycat** but I was thin on the details:

Milei advocates minimal government, focusing on administering justice and ensuring security, with a philosophy rooted in life, liberty, and property, and free market principles. He criticizes socialism and communism, advocating economic liberalization and restructuring of government ministries. He opposes Argentina's Central Bank and current taxation policies.
Economically, Milei is influenced by the Austrian school, and admires former President Carlos Menem's policies.

There we are. Austerity, the favorite cover-up for "just doing my rich donor buddies bidding". And unfortunately I don't even need to look up the Austrian school. And it ties back nicely to the movie you mention.

* Some time ago when the economy was already tanking he sang live in a rock band. The article was titled "Burning Down The House"

** TBF Trump did not invent Trumpism, he's just the most prominent

PS & BTW

Donkey (and horse) meat is a relatively common ingredient in e.g. Salami. Yes the economy is fucked up but people eating donkey meat is probably not the best indicator. And as someone else pointed out, the article talks about selling donkey meat in large cities, not the eating per se.

Interesting, the director of that movie is the ndp leader in Canada now

The Argentinians were desperate for change. I wouldn't have voted for him but the peronists were a complete failure over the last 10 years or so too.

Propaganda is a powerful drug

Unfortunately this isn't a left or right thing...as the last decades of leadership there have been socialist left wing.

Corruption is corruption, and Argentina is filled with it.

It was the previous left wing governments that ruined the country economically and who are responsible for the crazy inflation and corruption, but ok

Perhaps because they're the only ones that have a chance of working.

there's a meat monopoly, few companies decide where most of the production goes

just bought this book can't wait till i get to that part

He is a Catholic, converted to Judaism, and fully Zionist. Most likely he funnel that money back to trump through deals with Israel.

Less than $900 per person.

I think it was a line of credit and it they already paid off this debt.

It's also not Anarcho, that word is thrown in there as a marketing term. Like using "fresh" to describe donkey meat.

Is "anarcho"-capitalism a type of anarchism?

The core purpose of libertarianism is to enhance trickle-up economics. The wealthy 1% benefit and make off like gangbusters, everyone else loses.

This is not far off, how many of us look at steak and ground beef and think "I'll pass on that." It's going to get worse.

Getting to vs having to.

330....per what period? Depending on the length, it starts at "bad" and starts moving toward "apocalyptic."

10 usd for a pack of grinded meat,

That's a pretty large pack.

I don't like Milei at all but this thread is full of misinformation. I live in Argentina and literally no one is eating "donkey meat". I don't think that something butcher shops sell here. At least I haven't seen it in my entire life.

Also, 1kg of grinded meat is about $6.7 USD with the dolar at $1400ARS/1 USD. Source. Not to mention that pretty much any butcher shop and supermarket has bank discounts between 20 and 30% on specific week days, so it can cost even less than that.
