Funny how leftist politics is getting impatiently authoritarian, PG tweeted this just today: https://x.com/paulg/status/1690952107250302976
Also in other news, Germany wants to ban “far-right” political party. If that doesn’t sound authoritarian, I’m not sure what would.
(Not all leftists. But the existence of impatiently authoritarian leftists should not be a surprise by now.)
Apparently that party is becoming pretty popular, too, and polling better than their current prime minister's party (https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2023/08/13/afd-party-ban-ge..., https://www.politico.eu/europe-poll-of-polls/germany/).
I agree, it's not a good look. Talk like that makes Western democracy look like a sham, though a more subtle sham than Soviet democracy. You can vote for any party you want as long as it's 1) approved by the political elites or 2) has no chance of holding power.
It would be a lot less toxic to democracy if those elites just compromised with the democratic reality and moderated their unpopular policies and address the issues they're leaving unresolved.
Yes, all very moderate views in 2023
They should look at how the peso has been doing thus far:

Every day the government moves devalues the peso gradually.
If you search for a graph of the market valued dollars (MEP, CCL, Blue, etc) you'll find they look a lot more spiky
This one in Alphacast (a platform for economic data) compares the blue dollar to the MEP dollar https://www.alphacast.io/p/lisandroiriarte/charts/dolar-mep-...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kirchnerism has a list of the five main principles of the left-wing populist faction to which you refer. All of them are about external trade, central bank policy, etc, none of them mention any social policies at all. Do they look socialist to you? Any of them? On the other hand, can you even tell what makes them left- rather than right-wing populist?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Socialist_Party_(Argentina) describes what the socialists think. The voters don't have a problem telling the difference.
Are you saying that the Wikipedia articles are inaccurate? Misleading? Not applicable? What are you actually saying, and what is your basis for saying it?
In fact, your post reads like what you are accusing others of. You say something that 1) doesn't seem related, 2) has no data behind it, but 3) is supposed to make us reject someone else's point of view just because it's "bad" in some sense. If you want us to actually listen, you need to give us more than you have given us so far. Otherwise, we'll just ignore what you say like you seem to think we should ignore Fox News.
I ask because my reasons oblige me to avoid certain behaviours. You seem to think it's okay for you to post things that should be ignored for reasons that we should ignoreFox News, but if those reasons apply to your postings, why aren't they reasons to not post?
This may sound like a complicated rhetorical way to ask you to stop posting such things, and maybe it is that. I overlook things and I know it, so I like to ask why and how and so on. If you do have reasons, please explain. Otherwise, please change your ways.
