Oh apparently some leftie gringos on twitter just heard of argentina electing fascism and their wet fantasy of calling us nazi, backwards people and feeling vindicated was made into reality. Don't try teaching imperialism to your fellow americans after this, you dumb motherfucker. You don't know what this is, who caused this, who influenced. You wouldn't understand it if it bit you in the face.

#babbling babbling #i'll light argentina's congress on fire i'll hang milei on the street and then i'm going for this absolute obnoxious assholes #not all gringos of fucking course but enough gringos

I keep seeing posts from people in the US debating whether to vote for Biden in their upcoming elections to stop Trump from winning again or to punish the democrats for aiding Israel in the genocide of Palestine.

I'm argentinian and as far as I'm concerned, you should vote for whichever candidate you think will benefit you more, because you're from the US and that's all it's good for. The rest of the world will continue to suffer at your hands no matter what. Let me explain.

Democrats and republicans are not a representation of left and right wing politics: both parties are on the right side of the spectrum, only the GOP is more honest about it.

Republicans, as right wing parties do, run on promises of austerity, reducing taxes and being tough on crime. Democrats run promising to use tax money to ease your life: affordable healthcare, education and housing, all guaranteed so you can live the life of a first world citizen.

And then, they don't deliver.

You still have school shootings, massive incarceration, corruption in all levels of government, and the poorest pay a higher proportion of taxes than the richest. Healthcare, education and housing are extremely expensive and often require people to get into heavy debt to afford to have their most basic needs met, and that's only possible if you have good credit.

It's a reductive analysis for the sake of brevity, but you get the gist. The point is that having you be poor and afraid is the goal: it's a feature, not a bug.

You want to go to college? You need to buy a house? You want to start a family? Well, the military complex needs bodies! The US has far too many enemies to their way of life, so they'll need people to defend it! In exchange, they'll "guarantee" just enough money that you won't be destitute.

The US spends the most amount of money on their military in the world, by a long shot. To justify spending that kind of money, you HAVE to have wars. To have wars, you need enemies.

So, you get propaganda. "Muslims are extremists and hate our way of life." "Latin americans want to come to our country and steal our jobs." "China and Russia are communist countries that are waiting to destroy us." And you gobble it up.

You love it so much. It's in your news, in your videogames, in your movies and TV series and comic books. So, when they ask you to fight, you go running! You'll get some money out of it and you'll get to live your life the way you were promised. Sure, PTSD from the horrors is a given, but there's pills for that! And award winning movies about how difficult it is to go to war! It's all covered.

So the small, poor countries that you invade lose their money, natural resources, and their sovereignty but HEY, you brought democracy there! And the US is protected from this many enemies! Mission accomplished, right?

Well, as a citizen of a third world country whose current president is an insane pawn of the GOP, I'd like to say fuck you. He was placed so that the US could take our recently discovered lithium, and you'll get it. Enjoy your shitty iPhone 5000 I guess. It'll come at the small price of the hunger of my countrymen, but since Twitter user dan91883719 says argentinians all descend from escaped nazis, I guess it's alright.

Israel has killed Palestinians and illegally expanded its borders for over 70 years. Both democrats and republicans have sent aid and weapons to make this possible. It's in the US best interests to have conflict in the Middle East and have an ally control the area. Israel is a feature, not a bug.

And those of you who vote blue? You're trapped. Even if you know it's shit, you're unable to organize. Instead of rallying to form a new party, or a at least get a better candidate, you keep voting bad instead of worse and pat yourselves on the back for a job well done. Democrats are well aware of this and that's why they run on platforms that promise to make your life better and then sit back and say "our hands are tied" when you lose rights.

So, if you're still doubting it, vote for whoever the fuck you want. The war machine that you call 'country' won't stop no matter who's president, because those who hold the real power are already getting exactly what they want from it. Your suffering as US citizens is just as planned as the suffering of those who live outside of it.

TL,DR: Vote for whichever candidate you feel will defend your interests best. Lord knows it won't make a lick of difference for the rest of the world, because both political parties have the same plans when it comes to foreign policy.

The libertarian president of my country just sucked and deepthroated Elon Musk's dick live on television in front of the entire republic. He signed a decree to allow the entry of elon musk company starlink and give away our national satellite to him.

Milei, basura, vos sos la dictadura.

#argentina a world experiment #he's repealing laws by decree #no national industry #no jobs #no indemnification. so no rights after being fired #no right to strike #no middle class #no sovereignty #no nation

Had a fun time playing with the character.ai Cyberpunk Aventure text game, it's super addictive

I fought with a couple thugs on an alley and I went to a bar where I met a redhead "femme fatale" whose name was literally "Trouble" who was actually a cute shy girl all along. We went on a date, and then she asked me for a job. I thought she would be like, hey let's steal something.

Then we actually broke in and blew up Arasaka Tower (the most secure HQ of the world's most powerful megacorporation, by the way) in an epic fight.

And then I did the logical thing and fled to Argentina with her. Just another sunday.

#listen I know 'escaping to Argentina' a bad cliché IT'S NOT my fault that Argentina is such an easy place to escape to #also it makes sense I played my character as an Argentine who was in Night City for work before getting fired and forced to take odd jobs #like destroying the world's largest megacorporation #seriously the game ais on that website are so fun the only problem is that they forget things sometimes #if they could be downloaded as games to have enough memory for all the stuff they could be beyond addictive #cosas mias #Lucia 'Trouble' la Colorada Ciberterrorista best waifu

Things We Lost in the Fire by Mariana Enríquez

I am not a huge short story reader, but I absolutely adored this collection. It explores the reality of modern Argentina, often with a horror twist. At times it's very macabre, which I found to be the highlight. I found most of these stories pretty engrossing, and I do intend to read The Dangers of Smoking in Bed at some point in the future as well.

genres: short story, horror

translator: Megan McDowell

rating: didn't rate (short story collection)

goodreads synopsis:

In these wildly imaginative, devilishly daring tales of the macabre, internationally bestselling author Mariana Enriquez brings contemporary Argentina to vibrant life as a place where shocking inequality, violence, and corruption are the law of the land, while military dictatorship and legions of desaparecidos loom large in the collective memory. In these stories, reminiscent of Shirley Jackson and Julio Cortázar, three young friends distract themselves with drugs and pain in the midst a government-enforced blackout; a girl with nothing to lose steps into an abandoned house and never comes back out; to protest a viral form of domestic violence, a group of women set themselves on fire.

But alongside the black magic and disturbing disappearances, these stories are fueled by compassion for the frightened and the lost, ultimately bringing these characters—mothers and daughters, husbands and wives—into a surprisingly familiar reality. Written in hypnotic prose that gives grace to the grotesque, Things We Lost in the Fire is a powerful exploration of what happens when our darkest desires are left to roam unchecked, and signals the arrival of an astonishing and necessary voice in contemporary fiction.
