It is very clear that the growing social unrest with the government of Javier Milei It is a mere “sensation” and that this was not generated by economic policy or by successive scandals, but by the perverse action of independent journalism: they had convinced us that we no longer had those superpowers, but now it seems that we are even capable of implanting in the collective unconscious the unusual idea that the majority of Argentines are suffering from irritation and misery. What a curious revelation. They also revealed, Fat Dan he did, that “Twitter is real lifeAnd it is because there “it expresses what hundreds of thousands of physical, real, flesh and blood people think from the depths of their being. It is more real than the opinions that people give in person, where they usually lie or disguise their true thoughts so as not to have trouble.” The concept disdains, in passing and unintentionally, the functioning of Western democracy, which is based precisely on the opposite: self-regulation, prudence and diplomacy (that necessary controlled hypocrisy); dialogue, courtesy and civility; the careful forms (alas) that have historically allowed coexistence and without which the nation would be a street carnage. among cannibals.

The President spends the night in his only “real life,” which is Twitterand sometimes also in instagram: That homeland of self-aggrandizement and insults prevents you from having to read in depth or see complete notes and be left with simple cuts manipulated by your employees and fans.. For the Lion, governing is tweeting, and that is why he spends so many hours webingwhile giving the true helm to characters without experience, expertise or good sense. A journalist (excuse the word) who changed the history of this country, and who today would be mercilessly scrutinizing the actions of this administration, was clairvoyant: “Milei was an ambulance that carried wounded people from all parties: they were not the best but the weakest. He would distrust the people around him” -said Jorge Lanata ever-. Milei is a son of the caste.” It is logical that this son wants to discredit those who point out macroeconomic errors and those who are carrying out investigations into his environment and his cabinet. In Milei there is, however, something more: an association between duty and pleasure, which would make for a treatise on unhealthy obsession. Also nestled in that thick head is the imperative need to be unquestionable: Christina was offered as the Savior of the Homeland; Javier as him Owner of the Truth.

When it literally trashes journalism, when it attacks and stigmatizes it en masse and with hateful slogans, and says that 95% are “delinquent,” “spoiled,” or “overshadowed,” and when it decides to close—with a trivial excuse—the Press Room of the Pink Houseis not only demonstrating the panic caused by the intimacy of power—what is he hiding?—but he is rising up against a pillar of the democratic institution, in accordance with this new “friendship” that he is weaving these days with the right-wing techno-populist Peter Thielwho holds —Orban I thought the same thing—that “democracy is incompatible with freedom.” Pablo Gerchunoff He responded: “Old man, it happens that I fall into intolerable antiquities. For example, I am in favor of the democratic republic with division of powers, which is what the Constitution mandates, and the opposite of what the technologist who visits the President thinks.”
This same week, the great sociologist Juan Carlos Torre he explained to Seoul that “the swamp of impotence” has always led intelligent people to abandon parsimony and say “let’s go for everything”: instead of a conversion of society, they seek to transform it from one day to the next without thinking about the consequences. Instead of “baking” (negotiating, temporizing), the messianic drive appears. “And messiahs sooner or later end up in the cemetery of hegemonic ambitions,” he warned. “Milei’s government has a lot of that.” Within Twitter culture, where tribes rule, “pastelear” is betraying without remedy or forgiveness. Vicente Palermo He provided another lucid observation: the President “asks people to be patient (with the economy, with ethics)… Let us remember that it was Milei himself who tried to keep the flame of excessive expectations and short deadlines lit, because he himself believed in them.” And he noted: “Milei, impatient, asks us for patience and time. He doesn’t give us time, but he demands it from us. Obedience and passivity, he demands in annoyance.”
The intense fear of the media’s denunciations and the reason of the dissidents, and the frustration at the persistence of stagnation, redouble a pathetic aggressiveness
The intense fear of the media’s denunciations and the reason of the dissidents, and the frustration at the persistence of stagnation, redouble a pathetic aggressiveness. Gerchunoff, already installed in the economy, did not mess around: “This type of exchange does not work,” he said in Zenithal—. Milei does not have fiscal balance, it has repressed spending. And without a productive support you cannot“He spoke in the wake of the brilliant academic Roberto Frenkelstudent of stabilization processes: “This is not sustainable or lasting.” Frenkel states that “in the next stage, uncertainty always increases and interest rates must rise to sustain external financing, which finally triggers an economic contraction.” For both Tower and Ricardo Arriazu“destruction is faster than creation” and the model leaves out the suburbs—“something very serious”—turning it into the great Achilles Heel of the libertarian project.
There were other pronouncements in liberalism on the left and right, and almost all of them suggest that Milei should review some of his dogmas. The unspoken response of the Owner of Truth is contempt and haughtiness, and the idea of a false Ulysses: insist without listening to anyone and, if things “go wrong for us, nothing happens: we will go home.” Nothing will happen to the captain of the ship, because he will have a speedboat at his disposal, but there are not enough boats for everyone. And he was not voted to be tied to a theory of navigation, but to avoid a shipwreck and take us to a safe port. It is easier to rely on the king’s wishes Solomon and tell us about how he divides everything between good and evil. It is more difficult to master logorrhea, to qualify a little and accept its proverbs: “Where there is pride, there will be ignorance,” Solomon also said. “For he who speaks much, errs much; the wise man, on the other hand, bridles his tongue.”
