Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha This guy just discredit any future movie involving an FBI agent for the next 75 years. We knew america had a under-education problem, but man you guys are something.

Germany just had a sweeping far right election, and Argentina has had a libertarian at the helms for a bit now. A ton of south Asian countries have had hardcore conservative views for a while now, and I wouldn’t be surprised if Canada shifts right next election. There are basically few corners of the earth where populism/right wing ideology isn’t growing and expanding. This isn’t an American education system problem, it’s world wide. The political elites in your country just have you convinced that it’s America that’s now the problem, which then creates a new wave of populism in your country. It’s a self eating snake.

Not that I’m disagreeing that our slapping of allies isn’t problematic. This is just something that is clearly growing everywhere and the people of Lemmy love saying “America bad” as the same exact shit is happening in your country. If you’re an American expand your news beyond our shores. The grass is unfortunately turning to shit everywhere. We’re in for a rough decade together.

milei is not a libertarian, he's a generic hard right conservative.

If you mean US flavor "libertarian", you're going to need to specify that

[–] JackRiddle@sh.itjust.works 4 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

Idk what else you would mean by libertarian. The original (marxist) meaning is long gone and all the right-wing larpers are just as bad as Milei if not worse. There exists no libertarian who isn't just an authoritarian fascist.

Idk, a quick search shows that the President of Chile, apparently, is a left wing libertarian. Unless he's also secretly an authoritarian fascist?

I guess nowadays every political ideology ever is just a facade for yet another right wing authoritarian shithole.

No, libertarians are on the right, assholes etc but we need to be fair to them to expose milei's lies.

He's anti abortion and is not going to be introducing any new freedoms to Argentina. The libertarians claim they are pro abortions, drugs and anything else... For a price. And anything...
