i have said this on twitter then deleted it but there's nothing as exhausting as reading gringos discover imperialism over and over again and still not get how it works. how it extends, how deep it goes and rots us under it. how it's the worst of USA extending over the world, ideologically and physically. how all that matters is conquering us and leaving us subservient as cheap labour, as a fountain of resources. some of yall only see ''foreign country'' as some homogenous mass to be either saved or destroyed.

when on sunday argentina chooses the fucking fascists and y'all see us in a couple months getting gassed on the street because we don't want our oil, water and human rights sold away, i hope your gullible asses won't go ''they deserved it, i read on twitter they're all nazis''

[hihereami]

I posted this in 2023 when the fascist goverment was about to win. Today, 2026 world cup and the narrative that we're the worst of the worst and that we should ''be turned into a lake'' is incredibly damn widespread from people I respected. We are apparently all right wingers who need to be taught a lesson. We should be obliterated.

Our goverment has illegally sold many of our water, riverbanks and burnt acres and acres of native land. The buyers are US and Israel.

We deserve it, don't we? You read on twitter we're all nazis.

[hihereami]

I have read we're all white nazis. I have read we're not as white as we want to be (mockingly). I have read our children deserve to starve, that we're the new colonizers (how!?), that we have done countless genocides and are evil demons. I have read we're Israel, we're zionists, we should be bombed, we should be turned into a lake.

I've seen people (Afroargentinians, indigenous argentinians, brown argentinians, white argentinians, mestizo, hell even asian argentinians) explaining and recontextualizing and trying and trying. I have seen people who are not even arguing anything get swarmed by hateful comments for using the Argentinian shirt, even worse if they're foreigners who have embraced our country. I have seen these comments telling them "argentinians want you dead, argentinians would turn on you".

They hide behind "you all think like your goverment". They refuse to listen to any nuance on the region. They quote examples of racism and anti-indigenous in Argentina without context, without understanding this shit hurts argentinians first. Brown argentinians are the first victims of argentinian racism.

In this foreign narrative, they don't exist. We don't exist as people, we're a concept. The nazi country. The shithole.

While all of this is happening, Milei is trying to pass a law that allows foreign companies to acquire largue quantities of land. Israeli companies and diplomats are circling us like vultures. The US and Europe are getting for cheap local scientific advancements worth millions.

I'm so fucking sorry that I called it. I knew they wouldn't care. I'm so saddened anyway.

I have to defend overhated women characters with my life this isn’t a game to me anymore dog I’m so serious

[manu-script]

The lands richness belongs to indigenous people btw not to the Argentinian state or its European occupiers xoxo

wow what a novel concept I'm sure no one in the south american continent has ever thought of the brand new idea of land back of course not everyone knows the stupid south americans could have never thought of that

[manu-script]

its the condescending tone especially, like in that post that said it "probably sucks to be progressive in argentina", as if the savage south americans could never be smart enough to have their own independent causes to fight for and progressive movements that have lasted for decades (as long as a conveniently placed dictatorship didn't kill them off of course). nooo, you're right, we need Alex from Assfuck, California to come civilize us

[manu-script]

also it's very telling when the response at latines talking about imperialism is bringing up indigenous communities as a gotcha, because... they're still victims of imperialism. what's your point exactly?

earlier this year indigenous communities in cachi, salta were violently evicted from their homes by over 500 officers because a politician decided it so, but it's radio silence for that huh? if you only bring up native communities to try to silence latines that try to bring awareness to the imperialism that affects all of us, then you don't actually give a shit about them

[nicky-olives]

it's also worth pointing out that indiginous communities are fully argentinian citizens. when the argentinian state commits violence against indiginous communites in service of international power what is happening is that the state is betraying its sovereignty and its own citizens. this is in fact an act of imperialistic violence.

if the argentinian state abandoned its claim over the Malvinas Islands, that too would be an act of imperialistic violence against the native communities. the argentinian state whether you like it or not, gringo anon, is the biggest advocate indeginous communites have against imperialism.

(it's also the biggest betrayer unfortunately, but that is worth another post).

[thepoggersdilemma]

I tend to talk about this with my friends but not so much on this blog, but i want to raise awareness to the people who enjoy my posts and want to know more about me. I prefer not talking much about personal things online. But I think the world cup is a good oportunity to raise awareness of this in case you dont live in south america and/or dont know much about geopolitics. I'm not an expert so i also encourage people to help me out with this if there's something im wording wrongly.

Like many countries in south america, Argentina is being governed by an alt-right president who openly denies the militar coups that happened in the country, has said tons of anti-human rights, anti LGBT and racist things, and among many other things doesn't defend the people of malvinas (develop why i bring this point down below).

Because of geopolitical interests, the country is being marketed as "white and zionist" by many paid hacker/bot accounts and wide spread misinformation campaigns. ( i found this video of TheSun that heavily edited the world cup celebrations adding fake audio over the argentina celebrations and just randomly saying they are bad people compared to spanish people. Contrast it with this tourist's story about the same event. You can read about Jorge hackers whom are pointed to have influenced this campaign! look at the TUMBLR BOTS? arguing under these posts!)

I ask you to please consider before spreading this misinformation that when saying this, people are repeating a racist and xenophobic message that only helps and benefits a narrative which Milei and extreme alt-right people wish was true. Pay attention to who is repeating this, specially if they are politics.

Defending Malvinas has been historically tied with anti-colonialism. People who defend Malvinas, also empathise greatly with Palestinians reclaiming their territory from Israeli occupation. Argentina has historically supported the rights to their land in UN votes since 2010, to us this fight is linked. This is why Milei was so uncomfortable with the country showing Malvinas flags during the world cup. In short, his support for Israel also means he doesn't align with this historical UN positioning that both defends Malvinas and supports Palestine. ( X , X, X)

(Something that's also not being talked about much is that in Buenos Aires the government has been constantly deploying militarised cops to stop the celebrations of the world cup and repressing the people's celebrations. There's a deeply anti-patriotic* colonialist feeling tied to Milei's government. X , X , -adding to these videos the media wants these to be justified SO bad, you can hear people in this video saying "we didnt do anything and the police came!" while reporters try to say people are being violent and "Throwing bottles" LMAO!?!, you can see them just walking on the street..)

Milei has been governing through "DNU"s (an "urgency risk" type of decree that lets him skip steps to constitutionally abid laws) and doing tons of sketchy things that not only work against the country's insterests but straight up oppose them ( x ) . He has even been seen reblogging posts about bombing the country via twitter. This group of politicians is extremely sketchy and it only makes sense they are where they are today because of external economic incentives. I really recommend people look up operation condor if you aren't familiar with south american coups.

I'm more familiar with my own country's issues, but I know Chile is experiencing this same fear where billionares (within them, Israeli, British and USA enterprises) want huge extensions of land in Patagonia to keep these resources (a big interest being building IA centres). These alt-right governments only facilitate the process of "legalising" the extraction of the land via forcefully breaking previously settled constitutional laws against it. ( x )

By repeating the idea that the people of Argentina are only white and zionists, other countries are isolating the local population who has been fighting against this and whom are dealing with nonstop violence and starvation policies this government has been slowly implementing since it began. (Think of this as saying a country with no LGBT laws = there's no LGBT people in that place.) That is only what the organised transnational right wing power wants you to see. ( x )

They wish everyone forgets about the Indigenous and Black population living in Argentina so no one looks for them when the government does things like letting native land burn illegally (to give it for pennies to these big enterprises), or incentivise violence against the population (Milei has been calling any dissidence terrorists and tons of degrading violent terminology, he has been targeting environmentalist and minorities a lot too.)

I hope this can help at least a little bit to give people a different point of view than the one being spread which is honestly scary for us. I'm trying to be brief so I'm sorry if I'm not addressing all of the problems but I think it's really important for people to look out for this. If not for my country, to learn about the Current Context of Latin America.

I also invite other south american people to talk about these issues in the comments with the intention of spreading information. I'll try linking to more information as time passes but I wanted to publish this while the cup was still going.

*patriotism and nationalism here isn't linked to right-wing ideas but to the specific idea of independence from the imperial powers / anti-colonialism. This is the link i'm aiming to bring up here.

-- EDIT: 20/7 Added more links and sources. changed some details i thought were worded oddly. Again feel free to reach me or send me anon messages to talk about this. Extra video that's in spanish but is a cool and fast way to learn about malvinas from an argentinian pov, it can help link the relationship of Condor coups with Malvinas if it's confusing. Imagine defending UK being native to malvinas lol lmao.

-- EDIT 23/7: I still can't link any information that Jorge Team is 100% the enterprise that worked on this, but there are many of these going around the world changing names and countries. The important information to take away from this is that Cambridge Analytica things keep existing, since the Facebook trials never took it as something illegal.

Kabru trying his usual approach to undermining people against Laios is so funny. It’s like he’s a grandmaster at chess, poker, and everything else that requires mind-games coming up to a guy, fully expecting to beat him at any game under any circumstances, only to realize he didn’t prepare for the one thing he’d actually be faced with, which is a hotdog eating contest against a guy whose friends call him “the vacuum cleaner”.

me when i like the 2-3h movie: directors should never have to compromise their vision to appeal to something as fickle as people's "patience". anyone complaining about the movie's length is simply a tiktok-addicted philistine.

me when i don't like the 2-3h movie: once i become god emperor of earth anyone trying to make a movie longer than 90 minutes will be shot.

the replacement of websites with apps sounds so backwards when you actually describe it. like hmm you have to download an entire program onto your device each time you want access to a portal, where it takes up storage indefinitely. somebody should invent an app where you can "browse" any portal just by typing in its address... 🥴

like i know venezuela is going through a huge humanitarian crisis right now and their political regime is low in the list of priorities when tallinmg about it obviously it's just it shocked me to read trump congratulating his secretary of energy on how well he's running what used to be a sovereign country until a few months back you know
