I don’t think you can make a smart person turn off their brain.

Many attempt to do it desperately every day.

Of course conditioning people from birth not to think about things but just believe what you’re told is going to result in people that are poor critical thinkers.

That reminds me of the HGTTG movie and the idea swatters in Vogosphere.

No, some have been so deeply indoctrinated that they would be cronies for free.

Our shameful president Milei came back from a visit from the US with starry eyes and voice cracking with emotion because Drumpf signed a silly certificate for him and gifted him the signing sharpie. Really.

Both Elvira and Cassandra.

That’s not you, it’s a copy who believes it’s you.

Not having tried either, could you please summarize the differences?

If the country is the US, maybe.

Not Argentina. Milei and his voters. The rest of us know better.

USians pointing fingers to nazis elsewhere. Funny and tragic.

But then why not drugs?

Who says he’s not preparing the field? Several members or allies of his party are known to have received narco money.

Funny how the US is always ready to lend a hand in every cicle.

Lend a hand to the looters, I mean.

the USA have stopped being the shining beacon of freedom and democracy they used to be seen as by many people in the west

Only blind people ever saw it like that. In Latin-America we’ve known for a long time that USian foreign policy consists mostly in destroying inconvenient countries with resources for profit.

If they look the same, you’re either using the wrong editor or the wrong font.

What do apple juice or cider has to do with it?

… Damn, you really need to eat Argentinian asado.

10% of yearly profit per day of non-compliance.

Is the meat under open flame at ANY time?

it makes food that’s a bit healthier than charcoal, but taste wise I still like charcoal better (I just don’t use it all that often because of all the carcinogens it adds).

That’s because of USians’ lousy technique. Find out how asado is cooked in Argentina. Slow burn, but much healthier. And you can have meat that is cooked and juicy at the same time.

I would say the real issue is the interplay between religion and power, and discrimination on religious grounds.

The issue is always the justification of irrationality.

Religion.
