New Argentinian President Says Adios to Argentina’s Ministry of Culture
Javier Milei, newly elected president of Argentina, has signed a sweeping decree that will cut the number of Argentinian ministries by more than half, consolidating the ministries of Health, Labor,…
His face creeps me out so much. I usually try to attack the policies and not the person but it is just too much for me.
It’s like if Jason Bateman was cast in an oddball version of Batman where the Penguin was actually Isaac Asimov.
63another clown leading the world to fascism.
30Every time a post about this guy comes up people start commenting like they know anything about Argentine politics.
The previous party (and only other option) was paying off IMF’s debt with money lended from China. There were printing money like there is no tomorrow. There were tight controls on the prices of everything. All while spending like crazy. Basically, they took all the money they could from every possible way.
Argentina needs drastic reforms and costs cutting. No wonder US and the IMF are applauding Milei’s plan.
More people ITT should get their first word asses up for a bit and take a look at the reality of our country instead of blindly hating on the new right winger. He is far from perfect, but also he’s the best we can produce, period.
0The fuck? Where have you been hiding and getting news for all he's trying to do? He's as far away from fascism as the Earth is old.
He's got some very...questionable positions and some things I absolutely disagree with, but fascism is most definitely not something he's associated with. In fact, I'd argue he's as anti-fascist as it gets.
Fascism needs four things: Ultranationalism, Authoritarian Rule, Violent opression of your opposition and economic protectionism. All four things are as far away from his positions as it gets.
Yes, he's very conservative on some issues and has a pretty far right stance on others, but he's doing the complete opposite to repress different opinions. He's opening the country up, he's for same aex marriage and so on. I don't agree about having to privatize everything and I think it's a very bad idea, but that's not fascism.

I see some robin Williams

TLDR:
The Ministry of Culture (and a few more: Social Development, Education, Women, Labor) will all get merged into a new one called Ministry of Human Capital.
50Ministry of Human Capital
Did they have a contest to find the most inhuman, corpo-speak name possible or did they start with "Ministry of Human Chattel" and decide to tone it down slightly?
60You don't need a competition when you have an oxymoron like an anarco capitalist at the helm. They are naturals.

This feels like it's going to end up as Anarcho-Capitalisms Cuba. Touted as proof that it works by supporters and as proof it doesn't work by detractors. I hope the Argentinian people come out of this ahead, or at the very least not even worse off.
30It's going to be a fucking mess.
32Hard to be much worse off than over half the population living in poverty and using the black market to get basic things. In Europe and the United States, the black market is where criminals sell drugs. In Argentina, the black market is where everybody sells everything. Drugs or not.
8I don't know about that. Capitalism with minor restrictions and major corruption are largely to blame for it. Taking away minor restrictions and just leaving the capitalism and corruption to their own devices, really only can end one way.

On the chopping block is the Argentine Ministry of Culture, along with the ministries of Health, Labor, Social Development, and Education
Feel like leading with the Mjnistry of Culture being cut over anyone of these to be odd.
22Source appears to be called 'Art News', so they probably have a particular interest in arts and culture.

lol dude is that was he looks like? Jesus what is it with electing the weirdest looking cunts on the planet?
19In Argentina, photographers usually try to get the most unflattering pictures of politicians so they can sell them to newspapers ideologically opposed to said politicians.
That's not what's happening here. He really does look like that. You should see what he looks like when he's posing for a picture.
13Holy shit, talk about crazy eyes. Terrifying.

I can't help but think of Jekyll and Hyde when I see his face.

Says Adios to.../u/throws_lemy@lemmy.nz, please fix your bot
15I’m interested to see how his crazy reforms would turn out.
10educationally for those watching the disaster from a distance
24Probably better than many think. While privatizing critical infrastructure is a very bad thing to do (and I think education is one of those infrastructures), other things are in dire need of reforms in Argentina.
-5The correct response to having shot yourself in the foot is not to start shooting yourself in the leg instead.
Argentina has problems, but these are not the solutions to these problems. Not at all.
4The catch is privatization make profit a priority.
Sure, the previous government was corrupt but wasn’t infected with the infinite growth cancer.

Why does this guy look like a villain from Doctor Who?
6Populist leaders around the World seem to be in a race for the wackiest hairstyle,
9Well, were they on a tight budget for wigs?

Let's see what happen with this fascist as the head of Argentina.
