Almost 100 dead in blasts at Iran memorial for assassinated commander

  • There’s no evidence this was Israel. Iran has plenty of enemies in the Middle East.

  • There’s going to come a point where Mexico, and increasingly other parts of Latin and Central America, follow in El Salvador’s footsteps in terms of how they deal with the Narcos and gangs.

  • Yes, unfortunately. They always say 'I'm not an antisemite, I'm just anti-Zionist', but in practice their beliefs are indistinguishable.

  • You should probably read at least a little about Argentina's recent history before commenting then...

    Jump

  • Yeah it's a nasty choice. I legit think it was: guy who already screwed the economy (100% chance of things getting worse), guy who's madder than a box of badgers but wants to try something different (99.9% chance of things getting worse), so let's hope for that 0.01%.

    Massive eye roll.

    Yes, clearly they would be referring to Hong Kong post-97 unification.

    Really? Come on dude. Drop the snark, you need better quality contributions if you're going to take that tone with other users here.

  • It's been a while since I even bothered arguing with libertarians, but wouldn't they just point to Hong Kong and South Korea?

  • Here's one bit of context. Under the other candidate, the one this guy Milei ran against, who was the economic minister of the previous government, in September inflation reached 124%.

    In case you were wondering why Milei won.

    You also need to know the bigger history of Argentina's last century of economic decline.

    Argentina is taught as a case study in undergraduate economics courses in 'how not to manage an economy'.

    The Economist have a good video on the current crisis (Why is Argentina’s economy such a mess? ) and this one about the broader trend since the 1900s/10s.

  • I'm not a libertarian, I'm a social democrat.

    The last century has been a total and unmitigated disaster for Argentina. The two options Argentinians had in this election were:

    1. More of the same by the guy who oversaw inflation reaching 160% (100% chance of things getting worse)
    2. A total wild card (99.9% chance of things getting worse)

    Unsurprisingly, they went for the latter. I don't think anti-libertarians get to gloat in this context, given it's the Argentinian establishment which has overseen one of the most remarkable examples of total state-collapse and economic failure in modern history.

  • This is still my go-to distro at this stage, and the Chrome OS layout with the new universal search is my favourite so far.

    • how did we survive threads earlier this year?

    Jump

  • Also Threads is just incredibly corporate. There’s zero discoverability which means it’s all just celebrities and major news organisations, which isn’t a fun place to be for most people.
