I don't agree with a lot of this guy's politics (especially his bizarre lean into intolerance for sexual identity deviance), but I do respect his willingness to calmly talk about his vision for hours.
I'm headed to Buenos Aires in a couple of weeks here, as I imagine many here are. Planning to play a couple of shows (sorry that the announcement is so late, but it's coming soon). What are must-dos while there, especially with respect to live music?
In November, Argentina was the only country to vote against a UN general assembly resolution to prevent and eliminate violence against women and girls. Two months later, Milei’s administration went further, pledging to strike the aggravating factor of femicide, defined as when a woman dies at the hands of a man on the basis of her gender, from the penal code – a move that drew swift condemnation from human rights groups
That's the objection to it.
These institutions are scared because the people who work there know they are useless and if the government funding stops there'll be nowhere for them to go. Milei has been cutting people like that off from the spigot. Trump too. They are not unbiased actors.
He calls the opposition "rats", "mandrills" and scum of the earth and has a clear and objective disdain for poor people. It's amazing how that part continuously gets left out in neoliberal media.
We're at a weird time in history where the only people saying things that are reasonable are also saying things that are horrible.
And hit up La Viruta on Saturday nights (after midnight) for amazing live tango music.
Must dos - seek out the food you like and make time for it. There is a lot of great food. I recommend finding the best steak at the price you’re willing to pay.
