yeahhh Obama was such a nice guy, such a nice president!! he only facilitated a coup d'etat on my country's first woman president and that facilitated for my country to steer far right and elect Jair Bolsonaro who would then manage the covid pandemic disastrously, and willingly let 700 thousand people die! he only spied on her and many others! he only bombed children in the middle east and deported people! he was such a nice president 🩷

what’s the real story with argentina being a nazi haven, overblown stereotype or lib fabrication? or more an annoying rhetorical distraction from the fact that the real nazi haven was germany and that denazification simply did not happen?

I mean there *were* cases of nazis being smuggled into brazil, argentina, chile, and paraguay through illegal escape routes colloquially referred to as ratlines. That is a thing that did happen.

However, the way americans in particular seem to latch onto this fact to dismiss any latin american that pisses them off, either in a "well whatever your country gave refuge to nazis" sense, or in a "I'm directly implying your family were escaped nazis" sense (another example I remember seeing once was a post about US imperialism in latin america where a yankee replied that OP had no business bitching about imperialism because she was probably "a white brazilian called Helga or something") is a bit ironic to me, considering that:

The vast majority of german immigrants to these countries in the 20th century were jewish refugees fleeing the nazis

The US took in thousands more nazis after ww2 than the entirety of Latin America combined

A lot of the nazis that *did* escape to latin america did so with the direct help of US intelligence agencies

Nazis that escaped to the US were treated as valuable anti-soviet assets, and many of them were given cushy jobs by the US government. Most of the nazis who escaped to latin america spent their entire lives hiding from the authorities under false identities, and those who were discovered were extradited or jailed

So americans in particular thinking they have any right to reduce latin american countries to "nazi havens" when talking about them is just plain xenophobic jingoism

Papercraft commission of Corbeau from Pokemon Legends: Z-A! I really enjoyed all the poison-esque details of his design on his lapels, glasses and coat lining, so I tried to make them stand out with shimmery holographic paper. The marbled magenta paper on the inner lining of his coat, in particular, is a longtime favorite of mine, but I rarely get the chance to use it, so I was excited that it suited Corbeau so well!

Por si no sabían, el gobierno de re mil mierda que tenemos quiere derogar la ley 25.542 de actividad de las librerías en Argentina, lo que mataría a las librerías y editoriales independientes de todo el país hasta destruir incluso las cadenas grandes como Yenny o Cúspide, beneficiando a mercado libre y amazon.
