How To AFUERA: Drink Mate, Dance Tango, Eat Steak, and Win the World Cup
Yuri's guide to Argentina and a memetic tribute to President Javier Milei
Comrades: En unión y libertad, Argentina!
Argentina is a beautiful country. New President Javier Milei appears to be well on track to restoring its glory and scattering socialist government to the winds. Inject his legendary shit leftists rant straight into your veins:
"All collectivists… they are shit! If you think differently from them, they kill you. You can't give shit leftists an inch! If you give them an inch they will use it to destroy you. You can’t negotiate with leftists. You don’t negotiate with trash because they will end you! And since we are so much better than them, we are defeating them in the cultural battle. We're not only economically superior, we’re morally superior, we’re aesthetically superior, we’re better at everything than them. And it triggers them! And since they can’t beat our arguments and ideas peacefully, they use the oppressive apparatus of the state to try to destroy us with taxpayer money to influence public opinion and destroy us. And yet they are still losing. You understand? They’re LOSING! They’re desperate, shit leftists are losing the cultural war.”
***Note to the 1,000+ Brazilian readers: I recognize that Argentina is your rival. Bolsonaro is just as based as Milei. I haven’t visited Brazil before, but hope to do so soon!
After his Davos speech last week telling the WEF Wehrmacht to AFUERA (dubbed in English with captions or live AI English translation in his voice), Milei has earned a place in the meme Mount Rushmore:
Milei cloned his beloved Conan (named for the Barbarian), who died in 2017. The 4 grandchildren are named Murray, Milton, Robert and Lucas after his economist idols including Milton Friedman.
Argentina has also produced two footballing legends: Lionel Messi and Diego Maradona.
I was fortunate to visit Argentina in the late 2010s. Photos and commentary after the paywall…
