The Argentinian government has an army of "social media soldiers". They are very easy to spot, if you read something completely irrational it's a "social media soldier" work or some kind of blind government fundamentalist.

Conspiracy theory vs. conspiracy theory?

The instant red herring responses on any comment is pretty blatant. Not that I assume it is government but it does seem pretty systematic.

They should just limit comments to those who have paid subscriptions. Typically the Economist has a decent comments section when nutters like this batch don't show up. Sure, if it's part of a concerted effort by an organization they can just buy a few subscriptions but at least it'd keep the one-offs out.

It's pretty much impossible to read any article about banking/economics/finance nowadays without people spewing nonsense about conspiracy. Pretty sad, when the understanding and information is so important to everyone in the world.

Agreed, but it's not called the Washington Consensus for nothing.
