HOLY MOLY! It's been confirmed that Argentina's GDP grew by 4.4% in 2025, after decades of economic destruction caused by socialist policies. When Milei took over, nearly 20 million people lived in poverty; today, 5.5 million have been lifted out of it. Extreme poverty alleviation is even better. Over 2.2 million people have been lifted out of that category, from about 5.5 million when Milei took over, down to roughly 3.3 million now. It turns out that when the government stops giving people welfare, they figure things out and become more productive. It turns out that when you terminate rent control laws, you actually end up with more supply and lower rent prices. Who would've thought? The usual suspects will undermine this by bringing up the fact that Argentina got a bailout from the United States with the $20 billion currency swap. (1) That has nothing to do with their economic comeback, and (2) The United States is the uncontested hegemon of the Western Hemisphere; it's absolutely our responsibility to make sure our allies are supported. Argentina's currency needed a little help, and we came through for them. The reason the peso got dumped in the first place was that investors thought Milei's party was going to lose the midterms. The currency support program was temporary, and Argentina already paid it all back in full (they only used $2.5 billion). It also generated profit for the U.S. Treasury. It was excellent business by Scott Bessent and Luis Caputo. Congratulations to Argentina for choosing rugged individualism over the destruction of collectivism.

women used to blush like this before a certain group stopped them

You can really tell how dysfunctional, dysgenic and anti-humanist Leftism is becoming by watching the way the potential Dem 2028 candidates are presenting themselves; Newsom has been playing up his disabilities, and probably even inventing them (dyslexia), while all the candidates are talking about how toxic and unhealthy their childhoods were. Consider this a solid proxy for the mindset of the average Dem voter, no mentally healthy group would find this kind of dysfunctional anti-hero backstory a political positive, and the fact that they feel they need to portray themselves like this to appeal to potential voters speaks loud and clear to the moral rot that has borrowed deep into the current iteration of political leftistm.

Mfw I realize I can’t date women anymore because they’re all aged up minors:

Normal Person: I think transgenderism is perverted Transgender Person: So you want to rape me?

@BLACCGYE HELL YES I knew Hoyo wouldn't leave that gyatt unloved 😭😭😭

I can't lie, this outfit GENUINELY gives her a bubble butt, but I didn't expect them to take it THIS far😭 We may have another Ju Fufu situation on our hands

It is frustrating how they have taken the concept of remigration and tried to poison it like this. There is nothing fundamentally outrageous about people remigrating to their homeland. For example, imagine that there is now peace in there, and the immigrants would like to return. Perhaps the host nation helps them get settled and helps rebuild the country. This would be remigration — immigration that goes the other way. But if you google remigration, you get Wikipedia telling you that it’s “ethnic cleansing via mass deportation”.

Male gay relationships look nothing like heterosexual marriage: 50% of are “open” 52% have had group sex. 37% have had 50+ partners. 24% have had 100+ partners. 49% say their last one-time partner was a stranger. Can’t compare.

IT'S A NITROPLUS GAME!! YOU'RE GONNA FIND RAPE INSIDE!!

i've been a bad sensei 😭😭im a criminal 😭I NEED TO BE TAKEN AWAY

The mods of r/comics got the call.

Basic media techniques that let them avoid lying but carefully give the wrong impression (like editorial choices on what to cover, or framing some problems as controversies eg "Republicans Pounce") really should be taught in schools.

The Chinese Hack that led to the banning of foreign routers is way worse than I ever imagined. The Chinese were not just in our routers. They had access to our iot. That’s “cameras. Video recordings, storage devices.” Even “court approved access to communication systems.” Meaning our Government surveillance. We’re the Chinese spying on Trump?

Gogo from Final Fantasy is victim to the retroactive application of the "non-binary" label by those that think simply not knowing who or what a character is explicitly, is exactly the same as an identity that denies reality in real life. In the Japanese version of Final Fantasy VI, Gogo uses "俺" (ore) when referring to himself, which is a more masculine "rough around the edges" pronoun. The dummied content features an unused price modifier which changes prices based on whether or not the party leader is male or female treats Gogo as a male. The price modifier can be patched back into the game & is fully functioning. There's also the fact that Gogo cannot equip female exclusive equipment, so it's more likely that he is male than anything else. Thus, there's more proof that Gogo is a mysterious male mimic than someone suffering from modern mental illness. Gogo is supposed to be a fun, mysterious character, not a representative for weird identity agendas.
