Fawklands, Who Should Have Them?

[Calimera II]

If you are claiming that Argentina is more inequal than Chile.... than your are most definitely wrong. I'll provide some sources later when I am able to use my Pc.

Go ahead when you can. They both seem pretty unequal to me.

Argentina's inherited the current inequality from the ''ultra-liberal'' experiment that endured from 1987 until 2003: this experiment was fully supported by the IMF, the United States, the Argentinean elite and of course the magazines and media outlets that are now saying that Argentina is a terrible place to live. Of course: not everything is OK, the inflation isn't nice and there are still many problems, but Argentina is definitely a better place than the place The Economist and Financial Times say it is. Not only did the experiment totally deindustrialise the once industrialised nation, but it also plunged millions into poverty. I am not advocating against some aspects of neoliberalism (fiscal conservatism: I like it!), but I am advocating against the interests of some corporations that want Argentina to become the same nation as it was in that period (1976-2003).

Argentinians in the labor force earning less than US$1,230 monthly, are entitled to benefits upon marriage, birth or adoption of a child, for maternity leave or prenatal care, and for a disability in a child, as well as to a modest unemployment insurance benefit for up to 6 months. The most important poverty relief program administered by the ''ANSES'' is the universal childhood entitlement. This benefit is assigned to 3.7 million children under age 18. Chile doesn't have this, nor does Chile have free education and healthcare, nor does Chile has an national housing scheme like PRO.CRE.AR (more than 125 thousands of houses were already constructed or are being constructed at the moment). Yes, Argentina has it's problems but to say that Argentina is more in unequal than Chile.. No no no no.

Given the stability cycle, I imagine Argentina will be on the list as inevitable to collapse here within the next 20 years. A nation's public can only take so much before civil unrest erupts, add in the economic downturn and bumpiness, and the ingredients are there. The problem is, when these cycles complete, and a series of governments fall [Arab Spring for example], it becomes imperative to avoid radicals from obtaining power thereafter, or you end up with the lovely dynamic prior to 1939.

She has become a bit radicalized as the years have progressed. I do not remember Kirchner being like this in the beginning. It's like her presidential years have been one series of one misshape after another.

Indeed - she exhibits text-book narcissism, and most likely feels that she's passed her prime as an individual. I imagine she feels her relevancy both on the political stage, with her own people, but more specifically with herself is withering, rotting away. She's a tendency to dress extravagantly, reminiscent to someone who'd associate themselves as royalty, and enjoys being the centre of attention, she is dull and irritating and has the personality of a fence-post. The nation's media, and herself inhibit a degree of a 'cult of personality', and tries to appeal to Argentine Nationalism, but as a result, she lacks the strength, let alone the depth of a formidable personality, and is too obsessed with her own self-image, that I highly doubt she'd exhibit enough strength to challenge the British - because if she fails, it'd be a fatal blow to her self-image, hell, the woman wore widow clothing for a period of years in public light - that doesn't speak to me as a mourner, but a personality disorder to achieve attention and sympathy as a lasting pinnacle to her self.

Due to this, I highly doubt she'll attempt much against the Falklands outside of sabre-rattling. She's an annoyance and irritation to the geopolitical scheme, and craves the attention, but her recent radicalisation can be characterised as her attempts to solidify her image with her people, and nothing more.

It was obviously a rigged poll by the British Imperialist tea-drinkers.

Indeed, it is all a plot by the British Barack Obama South African Springbok Illuminati to seize the worlds Tea Supplies and usher in a new era of Pax Britannica.

True story.

Which is why I am ending this farce and claiming the FIs as my own.

Hah, that's cute. I'm not British and yet I understood Tagmatium's joke. Obviously, other people are perfectly capable of getting the joke, other than you, that is.

Us British have long since understood that our jokes and humour are superior to every other nation out there. Especially the Germans. It's why we had such a big Empire.

I don't think that she feels that her relevancy is withering away: she knows she has a major roll in the presidential elections of this year. Yes, it is true, she cannot run for presidency once again, but she still is important. Just look at how 'combative' she still is : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V-t4J5pd2Uo

It is true. She is very extrovert and she likes loves attention. I don't think she dresses extravagantly though: do you want her to dress like a poor person?
