So I was watching a bit of a discussion about the situation in Argentina and if their ancap president has been successful? Mostly it was libertarians calling it a victory because it makes them look good politically. It is also a style of doing things that is making its way into the US, as DOGE was inspired by the Argentine Admin.
While there are something that do seem to imply an economic recovery they did just get a huge bailout (not sure why a recovery that is doing so well needs one) as well as food insecurity, along with pensioners protesting.
Aside from this specific case that will be very polarizing; how do you try to discern in real time what is misleading?
You read multiple sources and look for the facts, not declarations of victory or failure.
Like how Milei is, by his own statements, anti-union, anti-LGBT, anti-pension, anti-abortion, anti-vaxx, pro-military/intelligence industry, pro-genocide in Palestine, and pro-unregulated crypto. All of which I don’t like personally; I’m not an anarchocapitalist. I don’t really care if one financial metric goes up or down that some will hail as “success” if the lives of so many are made significantly worse in the exchange.

I wish. They must pay well given the number of content creators that advertise for them.
