Protected: A Half Century Ago in Argentina
There is no excerpt because this is a protected post.
Libertarianism
When a clown moves into a palace, he does not become king. The palace becomes a circus.
Some shouted sorrete from their apartments on the route –a local greeting similar referring to the same materiale left in the streets by the president’s guards horses, there were also a few older members of the public who had come out in their Sunday best to wave at their president.
Cero Memoria, Servilismo Total
Las primeras elecciones legislativas de Javi… El presidente argentino Javier Milei parece pensar que Argentina ya no necesita relaciones internacionales; un banco le basta. Milei suele decir que Argentina solo tiene dos socios estratégicos: Israel y Estados Unidos. El problema […]
3-M Menem, Macri & Milei
The younger Milei fans are mostly working class. They voted against the economic slump and corruption that comes with low wages and high inflation as epitomised by the nationalist social democrats; the divided Peronist factions. Many voted for Milei even after their lives had become harsher as the economy shrank under his government. Milei’s support waned a little but continues to critique Milei’s destruction of the health service — notably the Garrahan Central children’s hospital and the treatment of poor pensioners.
Zero Recall, Total Subservience
This leaves Javier Milei at loggerheads with only one branch of government that can face up to his destruction of the Argentine state, his shrinking of the Argentine economy and a slew of corruption cases piling up against his family
Rothbardian Corruption
Corruption in Markets is really a problem not just for libertarians, but for the extreme right in general. A market cannot be a corrupt because markets are perfect. Just in the first six months of Trump’s second term he and his family made over 3 Billion dollars out of crypto investments. There were also sharp movements on the stock markets just before he announced his import tariffs.

El precio de los medicamentos locales se ha disparado alrededor de un 250 % desde que Milei asumió el cargo hace un año y medio. Ahora, parece que parte de esos beneficios han ido a parar a los fondos de la sra. Milei
America’s AI Action Plan: StarLink meets SkyNet
Stop with the morbid thoughts! Human survival is a mere detail. This isn’t about humans, AI is post-humanity. This is war! AI will be humanity’s bastard; best if she’s an American. We must push on to reach AGI or Super Intelligence first. Who cares if what emerges will have its robot fingers on the red nuclear button?
Buenos Aires goes from Right to Far Right
Whatever Mauricio Macri negotiated with Milei that hot December night seems to be off the table now. As the main Peronist candidate in Sunday’s vote (Leandro Santoro) said; Macri now faces what Argentina will face in the future; “the treachery of Milei.”
Curtis Yarvin’s Mar-a-Lago Plan
Both the plans in place for Trump 2025 (based somewhat on project 2025) and Argentina’s plans for 2024 (which have been extraordinarily cruel to the population) show extraordinarily parallels to Yarvin’s quasi-fascist government replacement plans (a form of technical coup d’État).
