Because that was the sticky wicket in Argentina that needed addressing. Should be smooth sailing from here.

That's the first thing i thought. I'm quite sure Argentinians have more important issues to care about.
Lmao, banning gender-inclusive language is such a funny way to put it. Like they cant even accidentally not mention a gender. Imagine like a police report: "The dog, WHICH WAS A BOY BY THE WAY WE CHECKED HIS DICK, was hit by a blue Lexus on Vermont St at 12:07am"
In several years time, when Argentina has a full blown collapse, everyone will look back and say "see we knew this guy was bad news!" while all trying to convince each other they didn't vote for him.
several years? he is speedrunning Argentina 2001
Nah. They'll just repeat all the (in their mind) very legitimate reasons why they had to vote for him, because the establishment politicians failed them.
Watch, you should probably see the proof of this in real time.
It's your fault, all you idiots who couldn't stomach voting for Hilary, that Trump was elected, that the SCOTUS is fucked for a generation or two, that women's rights has regressed by decades, etc.
Reverse Wolverine strikes again!
There is nothing more Libertarian than taking rights away from people so Libertarians can live free!
2020’s libertarians aren’t very libertarian, are they?
They never were. Libertarianism is a more or less a fake ideology that is, in practice, just a thin veneer over garden-variety conservatism.
People who actually care about being staunch defenders of individual liberties call themselves liberals because that's what the word means.
Depends on the “they” you’re talking about. Some conservatives like the name “libertarian” because it gives them air cover to like things like sex and drugs. Although, there are libertarians put their who border on anarchist, and basically want institutions out of most everything public and private.
Occasionally, you can find the actual right-libertarian, but they won't be that for very long. They either go full authoritarian once they find "self-help", turn into boring liberals, or become left-libertarians.
The funny thing is the ones that say "fuck all this" and go build a cabin in the woods are turning into left-libertarians but don't even know it.
When I used to be right-wing, I believed in a world, where people will have democracy at their workplaces, and people will finally do away with work-moralization (I'm from a former Eastern Bloc country, and gulags and mandatory labor reinvented the protestant work ethics).
Lol, coming from the guy that almost cried when he met trump. Typical.
economy about to rocket straight to the moon now surely

narrator: It didn't. And stop calling me shirley.
Wonderful reference to Arrested Airplane. ;)
He looks like a 1970s British working men's club comedian.
Very much so. I hear he has deliberately taken his style from that era as it evokes memories of strong Argentinian leadership, or something. Kind of like Nigel Farage wearing tweed so people accept him as part of the British leadership class. It's all very cynical image manipulation.
Interesting.
What kind of government did Argentina have in 1970?
Some kind of anti-statism? Did they believe in human rights or limited governmental authority?
Don't know mate, I think he just copies the hair.
Surprise!
It was a mass murdering fascist junta!
And, what do you know, backed by America.
Nice, nice.
Can’t believe the Thatcherite dipshit has given up on fixing the economy in favour of lazy culture wars bullshit. No wait, I absolutely can believe that.
Libertarianism in theory: "I just want to be left alone!"
Libertarianism in practice: "We just privatized your pronouns. You now owe Noun-Corp $7300."
Is there a rule that politicians with extremely stupid haircuts have to be subhuman conservative shitbags?
it's a key part of fascism
There is science behind this kind of persuasion. Psychology tells us that a great deal of average people’s self-image comes from their social identity – the group or groups that they see themselves as a part of. Social identity divides the world into us and them, the in-group and the out-group. Social identity can include something harmless, like a favored sports team. But used to support fascism, social identity politics is about a favored race or ethnicity. Being part of the group makes followers feel good inside. And crucially, followers also enhance their self-image by blaming, being prejudiced against, and discriminating against their out-group.

Calling them subhuman excuses their moral and ethical failings.
Plus, it scares the libs.
Well that will fix their failing economy.
Just think of all the wasted ink and paper costs for gender inclusivity.
Brilliant.
Seems like every country now has or will have a bad hairday leader
I had no idea gender-inclusive language caused catastrophic inflation
Is that a Shitzu pelt on his head?
This is definitely going to work out
god forbid you acknowledge women! i'm so fucking sick of these fascists.
my fav part was when he won and every fucking braindead moron was like you don't know if he's authoritarian!!!
hmmmmmmm
Ignoring the fact he's a total piece of shit who ruined Argentina, I actually think he looks pretty cool, not sure why people are always bashing his haircut lol
