You're so obsessed with "America bad" that you can't even tell the difference between Argentina and other countries, and yet you see fit to try to lecture me about ignorance? Fuck off.
Sowing chaos in neighboring countries and trade partners will negatively affect Argentina (or any country, really). And again, this is all publicly available information, not some obsession with "America bad". You could learn this in books or in classes or even digging around online, but I get the feeling your anger towards anyone bringing it up is kind of a hindrance there.
Anyway, I hope you have a better day.
You're being really condescending for somebody who's wrong. Do better.
You are reading something into my comments that isn't there. I am trying to help you understand why Latin America is in such bad shape, but you're just being combative for no reason. If you let go of the anger for just a moment and read my comments as if you're talking to a human being, I think we could have a constructive dialog. Would you like to do that?
Bullshit. You're trying to push a narrative that has fuck-all to do with the point I had made, which is that Argentina is uniquely screwed up economically in a way the rest of the continent is not. There's a reason the famous economist quote elsewhere in the thread singled it out instead of talking about South America as a whole, after all!
And again, fuck off with the condescending attitude. The notion that you are "helping me understand" anything is nothing but false hubris on your part. You are not fucking entitled to tell me I don't understand American imperialism just because I was talking about a different issue entirely and thus didn't see fit to mention it!
I have understood perfectly the point you think you've been trying to make since before you even commented. You aren't nearly as clever as you think you are, and all you're accomplishing is making an ass of yourself.
I'm super proud of you.
