  • I don’t feel like arguing so, today, I’m just here to see who worships/follows Khorne (imperialists, “might makes right/fuck you I got mine/survival of the fittest!!!” freaks), Slaanesh (druggie hedonists, sex addicts and “nothing matters but my dakis and miniatures” folks), Nurgle (lethargic nihilists who spread the “rot” and push others into the same hole) or Tzeentch (dishonest, conniving people who think they’re smarter than God, and for those reasons they probably won’t admit to it here, lol).

    😁



  • Yes, a couple of times actually, the meat is glorious over there. From the “Racism in Argentina” wiki:

    “European” racism and Article 25 of the Constitution

    In Argentina, an extensive racist ideology has been built on the notion of European supremacy.[30] This ideology forwards the idea that Argentina is a country populated by European immigrants bajados de los barcos (straight off the boat), frequently referred to as “our grandfathers”, who founded a special type of European society that is not Latin-American.[31] In addition, this ideology holds forth that cultural influences from other communities such as the Aborigines, Africans, fellow Latin-Americans, Arabs, Asians, and Pacific Islanders, are not relevant and even undesirable.

    European racism in Argentina has a history of government participation. The ideology even has a legal foundation that was set forth in Article 25 of the National Constitution sponsored by Juan Bautista Alberdi. The article establishes a difference between European immigration (which should be encouraged) and non-European immigration.

    Article 25: The Federal Government will encourage European immigration; and will not restrict, limit, nor tax the entry of any foreigner into the territory of Argentina who comes with the goal of working the land, bettering industry, or introducing or teaching sciences or the arts.
    

    — Constitution of Argentina

    Alberdi, the article’s sponsor and the father of the Argentine Constitution of 1853, explained in his own words the basis for White-European discrimination:

    If you were to put the roto (literally "broken"), the gaucho, the cholo, the basic element of our popular masses, through the finest educational system; in one hundred years you would not make him an English worker who works, consumes, and lives comfortably and in a dignified manner.
    

    — Juan B. Alberdi[32]

    The discrimination between European and non-European immigration established by Article 25 of the Constitution has survived all subsequent constitutional reforms (1860, 1868, 1898, 1949, 1957, 1972 and 1994).

    Alberdi claimed that the “races which could improve the species” in Argentina where those that originated from Western Europe, chiefly Spain, England and France. Alberdi was also very partial to France where he spent much of his life in exile and where he died in 1884. In this way, despite the predominantly Hispanic and Latin culture of Argentina, Alberti proposed a semi-nordicist policy somewhat similar to the later White Australia policy and the United States Immigration Act of 1924.

    Alberdi, who was a proponent of French being the national language of Argentina, believed that Latino and Christian traditions were enemies of progress and supported discrimination against Latin American and Jewish immigration.[33]

    On the other hand, Argentine racist ideology against Jews became stronger over time. The apex of this tendency occurred when the Argentina foreign minister during the presidency of Roberto M. Ortiz issued a secret order in 1938 to deny Jewish immigrants visas to Argentina.[34]

    In an effort to combat racism in Argentine society, the National Institute Against Discrimination, Xenophobia and Racism (INADI) was created in 1995 by Federal Law 24515.[3] However, in 2024, the Javier Milei administration closed the INADI to reduce public spending.


  • Unlike most of Latin America and its racial admixture, Argentina is just colonizer land, something like 90%+ of people there are purely of European origins, many of them white supremacist fascists coming from Italy and Germany in WW2. They brought their ideology and takes with them, and there already was a fertile base for it before too, and (at least from my understanding) they’ll vote for the obviously amoral and deranged pale man because “he’s one of us and that’s what matters”, in a very Trumpian American manner. 🤷

    Remember white Argentinians, way past the days of Spanish colonization, had their own fun times with reservations, mass killings and concentration camps for native Americans…



  • Prosociality/“goodness”, like everyone else.

    But in particular: I’m a judgemental (not negative or positive, I’m just always making “judgments” which I often communicate) but at the same time easy going (except when I feel in danger and my anger issues/childhood trauma show their ugly heads!), empathetic and sentimental procrastinator who is mostly detached from desire of material possessions (I didn’t make myself, I just am that way, and it certainly makes life easier since wanting little means I always live within my means, lol).






  • From “1984”:

    “There was a whole chain of separate departments dealing with proletarian literature, music, drama, and entertainment generally. Here were produced rubbishy newspapers containing almost nothing except sport, crime, and astrology, sensational five-cent novelettes, films oozing with sex, and sentimental songs which were composed entirely by mechanical means on a special kind of kaleidoscope known as a versificator.”

    Honestly, the difference between what we have today and what we had 10-15 years ago (uninspired, repetitive and boring melodies, and lyrics written by 65+ yo Norwegian men to be sung by and marketed to teenage girls) is not that large.


  • Depends on both the person asking (whether they’re obviously “good vibes” or not, if they just seem curious and appreciative or simply trying to connect with you [“oh, I went to X some years ago, it was lovely, and this person seems like a native from there, that’s a good conversation starter, right?” - mental process]) and the person being asked (if they’re withdrawn/afraid of people and suspect foul play/bad intentions or not, or if they’ve had many impasses with racist people, for instance).
