Some heroes wear a tiara...

True. But Milei has proven he is politically sophisticated, meaning, he knows better than to try to directly butt heads with the globalists. Argentina is not the US. The government of Argentina cannot take on the globalists, they will be squashed like a bug. But that doesn't mean that the people of Argentina cannot stand up to the globalists and send them packing. Milei's win is nothing if not a populist movement. Now and then I hear him say something that worries me a little. But after 7 years of anti-Trump doomsaying from every quarter of US politics (except MAGA itself), I don't comb Trump's or Milei's words as finely as that. A sophisticated political operator knows how to quell the flames with the right verbal concessions, while hitting back behind closed doors. None of this means that Milei is axiomatically good, that he cannot betray the principles of liberty he campaigned on. He may yet betray but the evidence so far is resoundingly in the "Milei is a good guy" column, having just struck 12 of 20 cabinet-level departments from the Argentine government. I'm sure that nobody in the departments of Women, Gender and Diversity, or Tourism and Sports has any doubt that Milei will fulfill his campaign promises as they start looking for a new job...

*sigh -- you and a few others in this thread keep trying to divert attention away from the significance of the Argentina victory. Milei campaigned on and won on the ideas of liberty. Go watch any of his TV interviews, he's body-slamming the corrupt global establishment harder than Murray Rothbard or Hans Hoppe, all things considered. And Rothbard and Hoppe are the gold-standard of anti-statism, you will not find any stronger mixture than that. That this was a winning strategy is astounding because the status quo establishment has built its entire house-of-cards on the axiom that real liberty can never be popular -- it's just some weird obsession of backwards philosophy nerds who wear ugly sweaters and lack basic social skills. Even if Milei turns out to be a bought-and-paid-for WEF operative and a secret anti-libertarian posing as a libertarian, etc. etc. etc. those are all matters of his personality... the lesson of Argentina is that he won on our ideas. Feel free to continue ignoring that lesson as you have throughout this thread, but that really is the lesson here. Javier Milei won the Argentine presidency by campaigning on Rothbard and Hoppe quotes, restated in his own words. That's incredible, and it portends very badly for the WEF vampires. Klaus Schwab is so worried that the latest shipments of maggot-patties and cockroach-milk might slow down that he has come out and denounced "libertarianism", a word that is so despised among the globalists that, as a rule, they never even mention it, as though Satan himself is going to *poof* into the room in a cloud of brimstone smoke the moment they utter it. Here's a theory as to what has Schwab's Depends all in a twist... maybe it has something to do with, I don't know, a libertarian recently winning the presidential election in Argentina? Just a thought...

Argentina is not Israel. Milei is not Netanyahu. It's a false comparison.

CHAINSAW! :up:

It's just not that simple. Too many libertarians go in for the "litmus test" approach to "testing libertarian orthodoxy" and if somebody "fails the litmus test" by... talking to "the wrong people", then they're clearly not libertarian. Milei met Bill Clinton after the election and a lot of people tried to make a big hoopla about it, as though this somehow indicates that Milei agrees with Clinton or his policies. But it's pretty simple to understand why Milei met him. It was a mutually beneficial meeting because Clinton is getting beaten up post-Epstein, and I'm willing to guess he extended the invitation, not the other way around, to remind people he was once a President, and important. Milei's motives for accepting the meeting are similar -- it bolsters his "presidential image" back home, and it's also important to remember that the world economy experienced a global economic boom during the 1990's (not due to Clinton, but political figures always get credit for the good times, no matter how little credit they deserve), and so meeting with Clinton is a way of saying to Argentinians back home, "I'm bringing back the good times." Does it make rational sense? Of course not, but that's not how the mind of the masses works. It moves on heart-thinking, not head-thinking. Even though it's quite false, the Ukrainians have captured the status of sympathetic heroes (TPTB have been very adept at painting them in a sympathetic light). As already mentioned, Milei is president of Argentina not President of the US global empire... so his "support" of Ukraine is purely symbolic. Given that Ukraine has sympathetic status, it's simply makes no sense for Milei to die on the hill of not meeting Zelensky. Privately, Milei might have nothing but contempt for Zelensky/Ukraine... he might understand all the geopolitics involved. But no matter what, he doesn't benefit from trying to "end the war in Ukraine"... it's not his fight. It's our fight but only because our corrupt DC Establishment keeps sticking us up for another $100 billion and shipping it off to Ukraine. But that's not Milei's problem, that's our problem. So the "Ukraine litmus test" makes no sense when applied to Milei.

Crypto-globalist doing the work of globalism... :rolleyes:

The dog is so easily wagged. When your enemy wins a small but real victory and you want to trivialize it, you invite him to your club and you surround him with your retards, hunchbacks and misfits. "See, you're part of the club now. You fit right in!" That is why Zelensky is in Argentina. Argentina does not benefit from cutting ties with Ukraine, so it's not a hill worth dying on just in order not to be seen with Zelensky. Milei is Catholic. I don't pretend to understand why he says he wants to "convert" to Judaism, unless it's more of a PR thing to signal strong solidarity to Jews in his base. If he's sincere, then he's a theological moron but the Good Shepherd knows how to handle stupid sheep, as we all are.

Heterosexual frogs everywhere are rejoicing... Seriously, though, Alex Jones Was Right...

DAMN RIGHT

Also, they operate the mass-surveillance system Snowden warned us about, which is tapped in to all our Zoom/etc. calls... so they know that there can be no private discussions over such tools. pic-tribute:

Bad ideas flourish in the dark. Better to drag them out into the light and expose them for what they are. Censorship is always self-defeating.

Washington Post seems to be worried...
