    Yeah … This how humanity is going to out. Instead of rallying together to save ourselves from a changing environment, wealthy corporate interests will just manipulate everything to get conservative right wing nut jobs in power to avoid having to do anything about changing global behavior.

    We’re going to sacrifice our future existence to protect the wealth of a few hundred people, who will all last just a little bit longer before all of humanity fizzles out.

    This is our great filter … Human greed … and it looks like we won’t be able to get past it.

      This is exactly how many life forms have extinguished themselves over the millennia both on earth and across the universe. We are an evolutionary dead end, not capable of thinking beyond our individual desires and short term interests.

      It won’t work for sure. That said, with the rich continually robbing people left and right by hording the last bits of wealth on this planet, desperate people do desperate things. For the time everyone’s mostly still sticking to the Democratic mode of trying to solve that issue, but I wouldn’t give it much longer before that option starts running out for some folks.

      Milei has a very, very steep hill to climb, a world economic system that’s less interested in helping him out, and a Congress that’s not exactly weighing in his favor. He is very much two or three steps away from civil unrest in his country. Lots of luck to him, maybe he’s thinking he’ll be able to fake till he makes it or something.

    Oooh wow nice move Argentina, now you can ignore the crazy storms that tear up the eastern side of the country because it’s only a “socialist plot”.

    Has Argentina ever functioned as a sensible country because I can’t think of a single time in recent history that I’ve ever heard a positive thing about Argentina.

    Solarpunk needs to assure people we have the technology to make a good life, otherwise people will indulge in denial in the face of climate disasters and elect fascists.

    I agree with him. I mean , like any other subjects that is used for political propaganda. Because to be honest of of politicians don’t give a fuck about climate.

      We’re actually starting to see movement on decarbonization in the US and EU right now. Not fast enough, and we need the rest of the world on board.

    The article does not mention such climate change positions, do you have another source?

      The article says:

      He harshly attacks his critics and the news media, he calls the scientific consensus on climate change a socialist plot, he argues that a shadowy cabal controls the country and he even has an unruly hairdo that has become an online meme.

      Other outlets use the same language:

      Javier Milei—a far-right admirer of former U.S. President Donald Trump who says that climate change is a “socialist lie” and who pledged to take a “chainsaw” to social programs—will be Argentina’s next president after winning a decisive victory in Sunday’s runoff.
