Like Elon, this guy's actions are not consistent with the based anarcho-capitalist libertarian image he wants to project.
Recent meetings with Bill Clinton and the IMF, his appointing the ex regional Deutsche/JP Morgan director as finance minister mean business as usual.
Don't be surprised if we start seeing debt-for-land swaps with the IMF and other kinds of asset-stripping fuckery.
@UncleIroh like Trump's first term, Milei doesn't have absolute god king authority over the government and has to deal with bureaucracy and other politicians who have to approve of his plans. The pragmatic reality is that if the deepstate doesn't want something done, or for things to be overturned, it won't be allowed to happen. Trump's own party worked against him during his term.
That's why one man can't be the savior. Need a team effort.
> That's why one man can't be the savior.
Not how humans work. Even when we choose to not have rule by king, we end up making leaders into proxy kings. People want kings, always will.
Elections are a bio-hack on that instinct - we try to elect Aurelius, but instead we get a puppet-king while Commodus rules in the background. Except Commodus is a bunch of hidden Jews and degenerate grabblers.
Bring back Kings and beheadings. It can't be worse than this bullshit.
@UncleIroh Sure, I'm talking about the framework as it is now, which prevents one man taking over & doing as they please.
We also have a kind of learned helplessness, but with a political system, where democracy & voting is the only thing people know & believe in. I don't know the bureaucracy of El Salvador, but that's the closest we've seen to a king being elected to do what needs to be done, & so he does. But the circumstances there were dire. Required hard times before the return of the kang
@ButtWorldsMan
The current framework does indeed prevent one man from taking over precisely because that same framework maximizes the number of corrupt assholes able to feed at the printed money trough.
Everyone else is getting ass raped. And being charged for lube.
South America is nothing if not interesting lately. Definitely worth keeping eyes on how this Monroe Doctrine vs BRICS theater plays out.
