I don't know. Mine was TYT lol, but these days if you start at TYT you'll end up doing nazi salutes in less than a week.

I guess if I have to start somewhere now it'll be Hasan, easy content created by a left wing non-westerner. But that is if you want someone to learn from online content, which is never a bad thing, but all of this must go hand in hand with real life experiences. Let people open up their minds about things and work from there, social interaction is crucial to one's political development.

The minister of security said "he's a kirchnerist militant" so it's okay he had his skull cracked open by the cops apparently. Very normal thing to say from one of the most powerful people in the government.

Inflation slowed to about 2-4% rate per month, coming from like 30% or so. However, costs are still ridiculously high. Fuel for example is still expensive and that has a direct impact on the price of consumer goods pretty much because the logistics is done by trucks and trucks, of course, run on fuel, so the cost of transportation increases therefore the cost of X product increases (This is extremely stupid because we used to have solid railway lines that have been privatized and abandoned, transportation in this god forsaken place could be super easy but nooo). Energy got more expensive as well, households and businesses have to pay higher prices on their energy bills, from electricity to power. All subsidies were cut and the costs are now falling directly upon us. Public transportation got more expensive as well, not only due to fuel being expensive but also because subsidies were eliminated.

All in a context of almost no economic growth, limited Central Bank reserves, little investments from abroad (which means few fresh US Dollars), little incentive from the Government to introduce higher wages (wages are always losing to inflation), deregulated markets especially the housing market in which rent skyrocketed, little to no social assistance programs from the State, pensions are on subterranean levels and so on. Milei and his lunatics love to display their great achievement of lowering inflation, sure, but there are many factors at play as well.

All they can do is hope for the IMF to release funds to keep it going and maybe hope for a good harvest, because remember Argentina has a very powerful landowner class that rules the country and continues to set the economic policy which is oriented towards rural production, a few bad years and this shit goes down immediately. No wonder they get really desperated when there's a drought...

A day of fury under milei's regime:

AP: Argentine retirees and soccer fans clash with police during protests against austerity measures

BUENOS AIRES, Argentina (AP) — Argentine retirees and fans of several soccer teams clashed with police Wednesday during a protest in front of Congress in the capital, Buenos Aires, against the economic policies implemented by the government of President Javier Milei.

What started as a peaceful demonstration escalated into violent clashes as police deployed water cannons, tear gas, and pellets against stone-throwing protesters.

For weeks, Buenos Aires retirees have held weekly protests demanding higher pensions, citing a precarious standard of living. While previous demonstrations involved minor incidents, including tear gas use against the elderly, Wednesday’s protest was unprecedented in scale.

The government of far-right President Javier Milei, who has championed a policy of public spending cuts since coming to power a year and a half ago, had warned of restrictions on entry to stadiums for those who cause disorder.

Police deployed shotguns and water hoses before the scheduled 5:00 p.m. protest.

Clashes erupted when a large group of Boca Juniors soccer fans, waving flags and chanting in support of the retirees, arrived. Police formed a cordon to block their advance toward Congress.

At the rear, a group of elderly protesters were pushed back by high-pressure water cannons fired by two tanks at the perimeter closest to the Legislative Assembly.

In an unprecedented show of unity, fans from Boca Juniors, River Plate, and other Argentine soccer clubs joined pensioners who gather outside Congress every Wednesday to protest the government’s austerity measures.

Surrounded by police, protesters chanted, “Don’t touch the elderly.” A man draped in the Argentine flag held a sign that read “Help me fight. You’ll be the next elderly person.”

A resolution published Wednesday by Argentina’s Ministry of Security bans anyone who engages in violent behavior, disrupts security, traffic, or public order from entering soccer stadiums. This means that fans involved in Wednesday’s riots will be barred from attending their team’s games for a period set by the authorities.

The repression today was really big, probably the worst since milei took power. It all began when a number of fans and Barras (Our equivalent to Hooligans or Ultras) of Chacarita Juniors, a second-division football team with roots on Anarcho-Communism, started to escort the elderly people who hold a demonstration each wednesday to protest against the regime's cuts on pensions. A week ago, they clashed with police. A call was made for all fans and Barras who wanted to join the struggle to attend the protest this wednesday, and so many did, including rival Barras like Boca Juniors and River Plate, Racing Club and Independiente and Chacarita Juniors and Atlanta, among many others. The idea was to escort and protect the elderly as they protested.

However the police, as always, reacted with violence. Over a thousand police officers from all branches were deployed, from normal cops to Gendarmería (militarized police) and Airport Security. About 150 people were arrested, some of whom had nothing to do with the protest, the status of all detained people is unknown. One cameraman had his skull cracked open by a police tear gas shot, he's in very critical condition. An old lady was hit by a riot police and she hit her back of her head, she's also hospitalized. Many more suffered wounds due to rubber bullets fired by the pigs. A shitton of undercover cops joined the protest to agitate. One police officer curiously dropped his service fiream in the street as his line advanced, maybe to plant it for someone to pick it up and use against them. One cop sustained a firearm wound to his arm, not sure who fired, don't really care either, but I hope he dies soon anyways.

Meanwhile a session in Congress was being held (Discussing, among other things, an investigation on milei's role in his crypto scam), but was called off after a number of pro-milei congressmen began to brawl with each other.

Now it becomes completely apparent that we're not living under a democratic regime of any kind, not even the shit bourgeois "democracy". Milei's answer to pretty much all protests is to crush them with sheer force. I hope this sparks a bigger response, there's an urgent need for a nation-wide strike, we should have had one at least a year ago. Meanwhile, the economic situation is NOT improving, there are more and more people falling into homelesness, prices are still high and wages are very low. If you have your elderly people out in the streets fighting for better pensions you know you're in the shit as a country.

To me there's one thing that is guaranteed: The future holds nothing but pain and misery. Milei's regime is at war with us, and is one of attrition, we'll see who lasts longer.

oh and eternal suffering and death to "israel" and all zionists in the world including and not limited to javier milei.

NATO will forever struggle with tunnels. It began in WW2 in Berlin when the Red Army used the city's metro to bypass their defenses. It got so bad Hitler ordered the U-Bahn tunnels to be flooded, killing a lot of germans taking refuge there.

KIM JONG UN, the DICTATOR OF NORTH KOREA, ordered his AGING AIR FORCE to BOMB and KILL political OPPOSITION in the city of [MADE UP CITY].

South Korea air force jets accidentally drop bombs on homes, injuring 15

(The number right now is 29)

Normal country.

It's awful, sleeping is impossible. Back when we had more common power outages in my area I had to sleep on the roof during these extremely hot nights because staying inside was impossible lol, lots of mosquitoes and the first light will absolutely kill your sleep. We also had to throw away a lot of food which is really sad.

The real issue comes when there are old people who live in like the 5th floor of an apartment building and they can't go up or down because the elevator is obviously not working, and during hot summer days they might have health complications that make everything much worse.

YUP

And going full nazi too!

A story of success

Massive blackout in Buenos Aires leaves more than half a million without power

More than 600,000 people were left without electricity Wednesday as massive power outage hits Buenos Aires and its southern suburbs – event the Casa Rosada was affected.

A massive blackout affected neighbourhoods in Buenos Aires City (CABA) and the southern suburbs of the capital on Wednesday amid sweltering temperatures. Several power on Wednesday left some 620,000 users without electricity in Greater Buenos Aires – including the Casa Rosada.

Meanwhile temperatures soared above 35 degrees Celsius, with the famous 'sensación térmica' heat index touching 44°C, with a yellow alert issued for "extreme temperatures." Electricity firm Edesur, which serves the southern part of Buenos Aires, stated on X that "a failure occurred in a high-voltage line," affecting multiple substations. The blackout followed another massive one recorded in the early hours of Wednesday.

By mid-afternoon, service had been restored to 70 percent of those affected, while around 200,000 customers remained without power, a spokesperson from the Energy Secretariat told the AFP news agency. At the peak of the outage, some 622,000 users had experienced the cut, said the spokesperson.

The blackout, which even affected the Casa Rosada presidential palace, hit more than a dozen neighbourhoods in the city's centre and south. Disruption was observed at dozens of intersections as traffic lights failed and traffic jams developed. Subte metro services were suspended, with some travellers left in carriages between tunnels.

A large part of the Barracas neighbourhood, in the south of the city, spent hours without electricity amid the sweltering heat. People stepped outside to cool off or sought shade on the street. Some shopkeepers set up petrol-powered generators at the entrances to their businesses. Petrol stations saw queues of people lining up with jerrycans to fill up. Gilda Ávila, an employee at a laundrette in Barracas, lamented that she couldn't use the washing machines.

"I have a ton of clothes to deliver. And in this heat, it's unbearable. Prices keep rising, and nothing gets better," said the 39-year-old woman. In 2024, electricity rates in Buenos Aires rose by 268 percent while inflation reached 117.8 percent, according to a report from the University of Buenos Aires and the scientific institute CONICET – the impact of the removal of large subsidies for public utilities. "This morning, we had to throw away a lot of merchandise," 35-year-old butcher Eduardo Marecos. "We pay nearly a million [pesos a month] for electricity, so going through this is awful."

milei promised we'll be "like Germany" in about 35 years or so, uh... guys.., is he pulling another scam?

Two companies are responsible for energy distribution in Buenos Aires and it's surroundings: Edenor and Edesur, both are born out of the "Shock Therapy" of the early 90s, part of the massive wave of privatizations carried out at the orders of the IMF. Therefore, the entire grid is privatized and there is little to no incentive to invest because money line goes down.

Privatization will be considered a crime against humanity in the future and all who carried out privatizations will be executed by firing squad.

Typical paternalistic attitude from the westerners lmao. And what is Kid Starver even going to do? Say it's "disrespectful"?

It's so Zelenskover.

Dude has -1000% threatening aura, literally negative charisma and zero command power.

destination seems to be London, United Kingdom.

A fate worse than death.

The GODDAMN CHEETO is YELLING at our BELOVED WINSTON CHURCHILL.

DEMOCRACY DIES IN DARKNESS.

LIVE PUTIN REACTION:

I kinda feel bad for Zelenskyy there, mainly because he's not a native english speaker and he was being bombarded with 9000 questions and requests and dude has to think first in russian, then in ukrainian and then in english to answer while Trump tells him "We'll feel good".

Anyways let them rip each other out.

CONGRATULATIONS XI JINPING.

It's really sad to see the western left being so disconnected from the rest of the world. Like I get they're going through difficult times at home but even their way of engaging them at large seems completely out of place and out of pace too.

The Third World will save humanity from a catastrophe.

It's super painful to hear him talk shit like that because I absolutely do enjoy listening to him on the topic of Gaza and Palestine, he's easily one of the best.

"Still love the truck though."
