World News@lemmy.world•Far-right outsider Milei wins Argentina presidential run-off electionEnglish
3·2 年前I like this list a lot. I’m actually going to bookmark it.
From that article:
Eco reduces the qualities of what he calls “Ur-Fascism, or Eternal Fascism” down to 14 “typical” features.
Which of those 14 typical features you see in Milei’s movement to call it fascism? Because I see none, honestly.
Edit: Grammar errors.

you mean like Cristina Fernández de Kirchner?
In case you need context (because most people commenting doesn’t seem to know anything about Argentina): Cristina Fernández de Kirchner served as Argentina’s president between 2007 and 2015. Then, she was vice president in 2019 with Alberto Fernández as president.
The other candidate Sergio Massa has been Minister of Economy since 3 August 2022.

811·2 年前Do you think complete Dolarization of the economy and closing the central bank is not a policy? (Just to name the more relevant)
Do you think the other candidate, Sergio Massa (current minister of economy) had a real economic policy?
I’m asking for real here.

42·2 年前Amen.
For people who are not from Argentina, you should at least make the effort to understand the current problems argentinian society is facing.
If you don’t care to do that, why even share any opinion at all and just hate Milei.
There’s a lot of good reasons to hate the other candidates too. Even more than Milei if you ask me. The thing is, this guy does not come from the elite ruling class.
Disclaimer: I am not Argentinian, but I have family and friends over there.

World News@lemmy.world•Argentina elects 'shock therapy' libertarian Javier Milei as presidentEnglish
3·2 年前Why the downvotes?
Saying “Nazism and Comunism are the same because National-Socialism” has the same academic rigor as saying “Liberalism, the convert name of Fascisim”.
Nothing alike.
Hold whatever opinion you want regarding any of those ideologies, but at least make the effort to base your opinion on something.

1st-world leftists are going to downvote you.
I’ve never hear the phrase “reality has a leftist bias”. in which contexts is it usually applied?

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•How do you call someone born in the US besides "American"?
3·2 年前En español deberían decir estadounidenses, que es el gentilicio que tienen en este idioma.
En inglés es batalla perdida.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•How do you call someone born in the US besides "American"?
3·2 年前Mexico is also in North America though, not in Central America.
LATAM are usually pissy about the term “Americans” because the “geographical division” colloquially seem to be more of a third vs. first world division rather than a geographical division.
You can see how people from LATAM usually call themselves “americanos” to include everyone from The Americas, but Canada and USA think “North America” doesn’t include Mexico.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•How do you call someone born in the US besides "American"?
6·2 年前When referring to the entire continent, I’ve heard “The Americas” in English.
Just a reminder: Central America is another division of the American continent.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•How do you call someone born in the US besides "American"?
8·2 年前There’s also United States of Brazil.But you’ve got “Mexican” and “Brazilian” for both of those countries that include United States in their proper names.
I’d continue to say “United statean” in Spanish because that’s an accepted name in the Spanish language. There’s no confusion to what country you’re referring to.
But in English it is a lost battle. If you mean to include people from the entire continent, you’d have to say “American, as in the continent”.
Edit: The current official name of Brazil is Federative Republic of Brazil.

Privacy@lemmy.ml•Meta (Facebook / Instagram) to move to a "Pay for your Rights" approachEnglish
2·2 年前True in the sense that Telegram is not a real privacy-respecting alternative. So, it’s a good thing to point out.
My reasons for leaving Meta are more anti-Meta than anything else. For those who have succeeded at using something really private, my respects. I just not had any good alternative without being cut off society.
If I thought there was no difference between Telegram and WhatsApp, I’d have kept using WhatsApp. But yeah, it’s not good option anyway. Just good-enough compromise for me to leave Meta.

Privacy@lemmy.ml•Meta (Facebook / Instagram) to move to a "Pay for your Rights" approach
1·2 年前I just strongly disagree that people don’t have a choice.
Just to give the full context regarding my opinion: I do live in an EU country in which WhatsApp is the default messaging app and Instagram is where people my age and younger use to keep in touch with their social circle.
It’s been how you’ve said. A lot of people I cannot easily reach out. I’ve managed not to be completely isolated through Telegram.
People I’m really close to me have been kind enough to meet me there. Even some collegues from my previous work. Every time I’ve gone out with them, we’ve talked there.
Now I’m in very few family/friends chat groups (the ones I’m in, I actually care about). There’s less distractions and notifications. So at least that have been an advantage.
Edit 1: Some typos and grammar mistakes.
Edit 2: Also, I can’t say there’s no ocasional friction regarding not using Meta. As you said, I’d be amazing if they had interoperability with other messaging services without tracking me. Things would be a lot easier for me.

Privacy@lemmy.ml•Meta (Facebook / Instagram) to move to a "Pay for your Rights" approach
31·2 年前Ok, so I should use Meta services anyway guilty-free?
I’m not claiming I’m not being tracked. But in theory, the GDPR should have made that illegal (to my understading) as I’m in the EU.
If the law is just paper anyway, then what’s the point of the discussion?


You’re looking for counter-arguments for Solipsism.

The one I personally chose for myself is the pragmatic one: Believing reality is a fantasy doesn’t actually changes your experience of it.
