    The right wing is always stupid. Everyone else is sometimes stupid. But the right? Always completely pants on head stupid, if not cartoonishly evil.

    In properly set democracy this should not be possible. President should not have that kind of power to affect other branches of power.

    In general president should not have too much power at all, because it is stupid to have just one person to be able to cause so much change in general. Looking at you US.

    I’m taking the 3rd one as he doesn’t want to get rid of women in the government, he wants to get rid of women in general.

    Make the public dumber, less healthy, less connected, and less informed about the world so they can’t stage a revolution and kill you. Perfect plan really.

      It’s just telling the people what they want to hear. Just saying you’ll end corruption once and for all will give you lots of followers. What happens after you win, who cares.

      The previous president, Alberto, was (afaik) equally loved by the public, made promises about improvement, corruption, blah blah. Made things worse, now it’s turn for the next guy.

      People in South America are already stupid, disconnected & uninformed. No need to make things worse, just maintain the status quo.

      Outside of economics, his proposed social politics are so crowd-pleasing, it makes me wonder if he just promised to make abortion illegal just because he wanted votes. Like, why would he care?

    Bolsonaro eliminated the Labor minister first day of his government and made the economy minister absorb its functions. It’s had to re-establish it quietly at half of his government because the economy minister couldn’t keep with the job, but meanwhile slave labor on Brazil skyrocketed.

    That’s also the motivation between some of those stupid fake “Gen Z Can’t Answer Simple Questions” videos.

    I know a few Argentinians and since I live in Chile I know a lot about what’s going on there. They have a lot of useless ministers for almost everything, at this point the previous government could have easily added the ‘ministry of non-important matters’ Their state manages the education really bad, many Argentinians complain about that, all those things managed by the state work really bad and are fueled by taxes. I agree that Milei’s ideas are crazy, but seeing the options in Argentina, he was the less bad option there.

    Imagine a state sucking almost every currency from every citizen just to fuel useless state institutions. I hope Argentina will recover with this change.

      Pretty sure North Korea has equivalents to those ministries. Somalia is probably a closer approximation of where this is going.

      He’s not facist. He’s libertarian two completely different modes of goverment one wants to disband the state the other wants complete and utter control and so wants to make the state into a one party state
