Fuck.

Yeah this fucking sucks but I can't say I'm surprised.

A couple of months ago he went on an interview and just completely lost his shit, hearing voices and talking absolute nonsense... there was a lot of talk on twitter about how he had just lost the election right there and then, surely it would not be possible to recover from such a disastrous public appearance...

I remember laughing in Brazilian back then, doing my best impression of the "first time?" meme, wondering if people have not been paying attention at all for the past five years. The same "silver bullet" kind of moment happened over and over and over again with Bolsonaro (and Trump for that matter), and guess what? Nothing fucking happens. These right wing lunatics can shit themselves live on TV however much they want, nothing's going to dissuade their voters.

And I think there's a reason for that: nothing makes fucking sense anymore. People just want change, they just want to fix this "nameless" despair, this emptiness and lack of purpose and hope. People intuitively understand that neoliberalism has nothing to offer except for abject failure and slow but certain decay, unless you're rich. The thing is, they don't know what to call it. Half a century of propaganda as well as an education completely unconcerned with a critical, materialist assessment of history has made it all but impossible to even begin to understand what's going wrong with the world.

The left is under constant surveillance and is browbeaten back into hiding every time it grows strong or even tries to. The right has no such limitations, and has the freedom to come out and "explain" to the people their own twisted version of reality. An exploited, uninformed, desperate, frustrated and angry working class believes that explanation, after all they have nobody else to explain things.

I'm certainly oversimplifying things, but I think that's the reason why I very often see stuff like delivery guys riding motorcycles adorned with "God, Nation and Family"-style fash stickers. It's the only way I can see the most exploited sympathizing with the exploiter and voting for the people who openly say that the exploiter should exploit more.

HE GOT ELECTED?!?

jesus fucking wept

Electoralism takes yet another L

noooooooooooo

The thumbnail looks like an Archer screenshot

Common Argentina L

why do they all look like that lately jfc

Did he glue caterpillars to the sides of his face?

My hot take: Every country gets to have their own trump.

🌎

Thought this was the fake news forum, fuck.

Brazil, Chile, and Uruguay are about to get a lot of Argentine immigrants if the fallout of this presidency is anything like Bukele's.

I can fix him

God, I'm too high to have someone staring at me like that

Watching the footage of his supporters celebrating it looks like Argentina has been taken over by frat boys.

That guy looks like a villain from a bad 70s movie.

RIP

It's breaking, because he's gonna break the country

That is going to hurt

Literally superstar ultraliberal

Damn that fucjer has some handsome sideburns

Was really hoping this would turn out to be the onion. Fuck!

What are those sideburns man looks like he just got out of the dryer

I feel like he reminds me of Dougie Jones. The one Dale takes the place of.

Incredible that Argentina, a nation that notably fucks, has elected a clitoris denialist as their president

I can't wait for libs in a couple years arguing "Argentina was not real anarcho capitalism" to grasp for straws

Democracy and its consequences have been a disaster for the human race anyone who doesn't want to be punished by the stupidity of normies.

His family is of Italian origin

Yeah that checks out he literally reminded me of a meatball. Would not be slightly surprised if his grandparents or whatever were fascist party members
