The world’s eyes are on Lionel Messi, as Argentina will face Spain in the World Cup Final. The diminutive superstar has gained a massive following across the planet, not least in Israel, thanks to his numerous business and security connections with the Apartheid State. From being the face of an Israeli A.I. company led and run by Israeli spies, entrusting his private security to a team of Israel secret agents, I explore the reasons why Benjamin Netanyahu considers him to be his favorite football player.
I knew you’re Mexican, I read it in one of your other posts on this thread. I’m Brazilian myself.
Your reply is fair enough; however, I will say that Milei is only one of several factors, and many of the negative things said about Argentina pre-date Milei or Trump. Maybe I’ll revert to my original position after most of the global South countries were eliminated, which is essentially that I want all the remaining ones to lose, if that were possible.
Sorry if sounded mean but these topics get me emotional, you should know that we are very backwards in social policy throughout latin america, that is as clear as day in mexico and brazil and argentina, but we must not miss the forest for the trees, Spain and european countries are only socially progressive because they’re rich and they built that wealth of our backs. The european nations would wage genocidal wars if they were in our economical situation as they have proved from time to time, and as we are actively watching them take off the mask.
Argentina is going through s terrible situation and we must not discard them away, Milei is not argentina as Bolsonaro is not Brazil.
No worries, I understand! I’ve had really mixed feelings about it since I started to dig into this.
That’s a really good point that European countries are only socially progressive because of all the wealth they stole and continue to steal from their colonies and other parts of the global South. I’ll think about Argentina some more, but I would need to really think a different way to come around on this. I do support any country that has been exploited by the powerful regardless of ethnic composition, so maybe I’ll take that angle.
