On the one hand, it’s amusing to see that suddenly “cultural appropriation” – in this case, a bunch of rhythmically-challenged Argentine leftist “Karens”
But I think this is a good thing.
Hear me out.
Until the mid 1940s, Argentina was a wealthy first-world country, with a per capita GDP competitive with the US.
Then, the “Argentine leftists” sold Argentine voters on “Rizz” and “Brat Vibes” with the Perons and a series of socialists, which gutted the economy and led to a series of coups and counter-coups, which also gutted the economy, which led to a war to restore pride that led to humiliating defeat that further gutted not only the economy but national pride, which led to further see-sawing back and forth, finally leading to a complete economic collapse 20 years ago, which has largely been met by further waves of center-to-far-left governments spending money they don’t have (or borrow from the IMF) to keep programs afloat at the expense of, well, everything.
So now the growups, led by Milei, are in charge, and they are showing the world the actual potential of the Argentine economy and people.
So perhaps after his past 70-80 years, it’s best that Argentine leftists stick with club-footed cultural appropriation and dancing with all the rhythmic authority of Swedish disco dancers. They cause less damage (artistic damage notwithstanding).
This post reminded me of someone.

So, um….. they don’t like lower inflation, less government, the releasing of the long pent-up animal spirits of the Argentinian people to create businesses and wealth. My guess is they lost their jobs in the ‘Ministry of Empowering Women for Climate Change’.
look for sales of Yoko Ono albums to spike as people seek to take this experience home and integrate it into their daily life.
Deplorable, exploitative camera work. They focus on the pretty one longest, leaving the homely ones practically no screen time at all. Hateful lookism at its worst. Disgusting.
She is kinda cute, though.

Didn’t Argentinians used to know how to dance? Not everyone needs to be like Larry in the “Dance of the Cucumber”, but perhaps one of the horrors of socialism is that they took a people who are almost naturally rhythmic, and gave them two left feet.
Pepino cantador….pepino cantador….
