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. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating 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 10/19
-
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.

MODERATORS
Well, you guys voted for fascism. Now you’ve got it.
Exactly. Argentina has had an issue with right wing, backwards ass idiots for a long time. They're getting what they wanted
Is funny to claim people are "backwards idiots" when it's literally the first time in history this political spectrum (anarcho-capitalist) has been elected. What's fresher than a first time ever?
Names mean nothing, their actions are fascist
In that case, could you please number the "Actions" they've done that deem them fascist? It's been 7 days of government, im sure you'll have no issue narrowing them down in such a timeframe. I would like details if you are able to provide, thanks!
Okay sure,
Number 1: Threatening to jail and/or shoot protestors.
That was a fun game, thanks.
Thanks for the summary, unfortunately I must correct some inaccuracies on the provided bullet points
Number 1: The threat of Jail is only for those protesters who incur on Blocking Public roads and or depriving other citizens of their right to freely transit, which has always been against the law, which makes them Criminals. The threat of Jail is only for criminals. And the claim of shooting protesters is from someone NOT in the government, in fact they are opposition so it's not attributable to the government in any way.
Hope this helps to make a clearer vision of what they have/are actually doing, would you please be so kind to update the list so we can see how many fascist things they are doing with that clarified?
Exactly, they should only protest out in the woods where nobody will be inconvenienced.
Not out in the woods necessarily, but it certainly wouldnt make a horrible protest place either.
They just have to do it like how Argentines protested against The Minister of Economy ot the Previous Government (Milei's opponent in the presidential elections) where they manifested, called and paid by no one (unlike these "Piqueteros" the article talks about), on a Sunday and blocked no streets or pathways. Simple as that!
Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable.
Are you... advocating violence?...
I literally just said a peaceful manifestation without violation of the other's right is possible and has been done not even too far back.
And also, these "Piquetes" aren't peaceful at all. It is violent to stop workers from going to work, threatening their income necessary to sustain their life, it's a crime under the hood of enforcing a right and that's why they should be repressed. Those who don't incur on the people's freedom to go to work and live peacefully shouldn't be of course.
Was John F Kennedy advocating for violence when he said it in 1962? Or do people have a right to violent rebellion when they are opressed?
It was a genuine question, Im at a Loss of what are you trying to say or imply
I'll stand by my claim that a peaceful protest that doesnt violate anyone else's rights is not only possible, but should be the norm where these "Social" Organizations have only done the contrary in Argentina thus far.
I'm sorry if my very clear comments have confused you. Try reading through the chain again.
Im asking for a clarification or otherwise rewording of the meaning you tried to give with a dubious quote from a Past Era because It's not clear how it interjects with the topic at all
If you're not willing to provide that, I guess this convo is over
Keep trying, you'll get it eventually.
I feel like Argentina is in for a rough ride. Meili is a buffoon, and dangerously ignorant.
Can confirm. It's our own Trump / Bolsonaro.
Remember when that emu bit Bolsonaro? Good times.
I remember when he got stabbed... A shame he didn't die.
