I just asked someone with knowledge if I could have some. Is the comment not in direct regard to the headline, historical revisionism by the current government? The term “right wing” would seem directly in regards to current events. I just assumed they might be politically up to date given their opinions on the headline. It seems extremely difficult to get straight answers on the questions I asked given how politically charged they are.

Please explain.

This is the correct answer.

There is social liberalism to satisfy mainstream liberalism but there is little to no representation on behalf of fiscal liberalism.

So I’ve been following events in Argentina since we haven’t seen a true An-Cap since the 40s. I’ve been trying to follow events since the election and there’s definitely been alot of boat rocking for better or worse. You seem like you have strong opinions hopefully based on sound evidence. So, if you could, could you talk a bit about your perspective and how policy has changed and affected the country? Or otherwise refer me to a reliable source. What is Milei’s deal? What supposed benefits are there and are any genuine? Has the country fallen into dictatorship? Is he genuinely the popular candidate? Other than An-Cap policies what other “far right” things is he accused of? Anything especially heinous or redeeming from our liberal democratic perspectives? What kind of power does he have over the state given whatever their constitution is like? Or is it followed at all?

I suppose it’s a bit callous of me to just want to know as a point of interest and nothing more but I find it so damn fascinating. How often do we really get something different in this world?

Alright drop an n bomb in a meta context and see how that goes.

Sorry I just heard racist bullshit and knee jerked.

Ok I am about to argue that having an all black cast in Africa is in fact racist.

So I did a very quick look through the 20 “black” actors that appear when you search “black panther cast” in Google. I selected every one with a character name.

Out of 20 exactly 2 are actually from Africa. And they are both from south Africa, notably not anywhere near the central African region of the mythical Wakanda.

So as an example; not only did they get say 90% of their actors to play, say, new Zealanders from Europe but just as a kick in the balls they got the rest from Australia.

As if being a COLOUR would be some great gesture as opposed to a linguistic and cultural identity.

That’s without even touching the numerous examples where marvel has done the opposite and just plain got away with it because it is a piece of European cultural heritage they are using for profit like in the cases of Little mermaid and snow white.

For the love of God just make good movies. People will watch watch whatever tripe Disney puts out that has a large enough marketing budget. But dear God have they put out some “successful” pieces of trash in the last few years. Largely being shit because of the forced diversity.

That’s not even addressing the problem of Black panther not really having anything black in it aside from the name. If they had any real balls they would make a Luke cage movie and actually address the issues instead of putting the word black in stuff and printing money cos it has “marvel”, “disney” and “black” in the same sentence.

Disney is without a doubt very agenda driven lately. Their “represetation” agenda is useless bullshittery at the least and actively harmful to the cultures it tries to represent at worst.

This is obviously bait guys, calm down. This dude is parodying the stereotype of women doing similar on dating apps and exposing a double standard.

Yea I’m never sure why so many people are against this sentiment.

You get 1 vote every four years on an election issue which is often a red herring. There is legitimised if not legalised bribery of politicians. Politicians DONT have to be representative. The party can remove the guy you voted for if he actually keeps his promises. The parliament can be filibustered. The politicians don’t have to vote or read legislation. The parliament can be decided by niche whackadoos whenever there is a slim majority which is 90% of the time. Politicians and media are caught daily lying, porpagabdising and manipulating. Geographical Electorates can be manipulated to get whatever result the ruling party wants. The institution can pick and choose which votes they will count. You will be arrested if you exert the real power of the democratic process; protesting. The governemt monopolizes violence against you. Corporations buy their way out of everything. Socialized losses, privitised profits. There is no reasonable alternative beyond throwing your vote away and before you say preferential voting, I live in a country with preferential voting and it just makes things worse.

All representative democracies are sham democracies and that is all of them.

OP asks why

I’m just finding out lemmy is crazy for this. Earlier today a guy got brigaded and later post removed because he suggested that people use the mods to sanitise the forum of any dissenting opinion.

I myself made a comment suggesting that “both-siderism” is really a matter of perspective and people should question their leaders rather than continue to choose the lesser of two evils, remaining in a constant state of fear. I asked why people felt that way to a similar result.

Now you have very reasonably tried your hand at reasonable compromise to a similar result.

How is any of this espousing the virtues of democracy?

Lemmy isn’t reddit all over again, it’s worse.
