    I mean it makes sense. Haven’t read the article yet but I know there isn’t as much of an anti-tech billionaire mentality there, Argentina has an israeli asset as president, AND the southernmost part of south America is further from the ecuator line so it won’t be as bad with all the coming climate stuff

    The future that he helped steer towards? Typical. Ruins everything for everyone else then leaves so they don’t suffer the consequences of their doing.

    Trump’s bailout of the Argentinian government was him buying a hiding place for his new American Nazis.

    concerned about the future of the US

    Considering his business is in surveillance, he must be catching on that billionaires are rapidly approaching 18th-century french aristocracy-levels of popularity.

        Top tip, change “didn’t” to “did” then the pun works better.

      Mossad took care of them, and I’m sure there will be a similar situation now (though not Israel of course because they’re on the same side now)

        Not really, I mean. A lot of nazis lived long lifes even in Argentina. A couple of people were hit and they abducted Adolf Eichmann but that’s about it.

          I would say Stephen Miller is the equivalent of Adolf Eichmann. But Peter Thiel is close, I mean he’s literally behind this whole authoritarian takeover that’s been in the plans for more than a decade.

A community for discussing events around the World

Rules:

  • Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:

    • Post news articles only
    • Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
    • Title must match the article headline
    • Not United States Internal News
    • Recent (Past 30 Days)
    • Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
  • Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think “Is this fair use?”, it probably isn’t. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.

  • Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed.

  • Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.

  • Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF OCTOBER 19 2025

  • Rule 5: Keep it civil. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to “Mom! He’s bugging me!” and “I’m not touching you!” Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

  • Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.

  • Rule 7: We didn’t USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you’re posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
