Apolita

#hello again martin and bosco!! sending you boys round for another go :)

the last time I reblogged this post right before I got a great job, in a permanent work-from-home position, with benefits, retirement, and a salary literally 3x what I was making before, doing something I really like. 

So you know. 

the story happens in Buenos Aires and explores the ideas of community and strenght against the opressors, and also contains lots of argentina dope amazing references and insults

its motto is "no one survives alone", a really necessary message in our times

you may know its main actor, Ricardo Darin, from The Secret in Their Eyes (Best Foreign Film 2010, winner), Wild Tales (Best Foreign Film 2015, nominated) and Argentina, 1985 (Best Foreign Film 2023, nominated)

The Eternaut is considered as one of the most important latin-american sci-fi works ever, and it's culturally respected because it's the product of a really dark time in our history (the Netflix adaptation is set today tho)

Screencaps from Federación Argentina LGBT+

“Milei ataca esta vez a un grupo poblacional pero ya vimos durante el primer año de gestión que si le molestan los jubilados, ataca a los jubilados. Si le molestan los estudiantes, ataca a los estudiantes, a las mujeres, y ahora estamos nosotres. Milei se opone a cualquiera que tenga derechos que no acompañen la brutalidad de su visión. Así se crea el camino a la demagogia: reduciendo y callando sectores poblacionales, atacando y tomándonos como enemigo” - Alba Rueda (activista trans y ex representante especial sobre Orientación Sexual e Identidad de Género de la Cancillería de Argentina)

Javier Milei did it again. He went to the WEF to tell them to go kick rocks. It's was beautiful to watch. He's the hero that South America, if not the world, needs.

I have no words to describe the pain I feel. after 40 years of democracy, my country elected a party whose only goal is to be a colony once again, to sell the country to Elon Musk, to the USA and the UK, to have our sovereignty impugned and erased.

I remember the video of USAmerican congressists calling Argentina an "important asset for the United States". I remember when we told all of you to be vigilant because this was gonna turn into a genocide.

Tomorrow, the Mega DNU (Decree of Necessity and Urgency) is going to overrule most of our constitutional rights, and yesterday the Omnibus Law was presented to congress, including measures that make it illegal to gather in public without permission (state of siege), and make it so that protest is a crime. We will have to pay for the bullets that kill us, and cops will have absolute legal immunity to hunt us.

Word for word, a dictatorship. Fascism.

We've already gone through this many times, but I want to see worldwide protests about this. I want the UN to intervene. I want the world to make noise.

What worries me is this is not an isolated case. With many genocides going on worldwide, if the world fails Argentina, this will be the blueprint for all of the world.

30.000 persons were kidnapped, tortured, killed and forcibly disspeared in Argentina between 1976-1983 during the Proceso de Reorganización Nacional, the military dictatorship backed by the Plan Cóndor.

The children of the dissapeared are still being searched and found today.
