The new version of Javier Milei that premiered last Monday, one that is strikingly more sober and friendly than the one that for more than a year dominated the political scenario, could allow him to recover the support of many Buenos Aires who turned his back on the boycott the provincial elections and in such a way to reduce the risk that Argentina will soon be shaken by a political convulsion that would be fatal. However, even though Milei II manages to frustrate those who, like Cristina and her adherents, pray for the country to fall into anarchy to assume that it would benefit them, what is happening in the rest of the planet will add difficulties to the cyclopean task she has undertaken. While Argentina is a sui generis country, it is not an island and, like everyone else, it is affected by international political and cultural fashions on duty.
The popularity of Milei in the virtual world and the renewed interest in the vicissitudes of Argentina that has stimulated abroad is symptomatic of the sensation of vacuum, of the disseminated conviction that all socio -economic models that have been tested in the last years have failed without anyone having managed to conceive a new one that is clearly better, which is causing disorders to the wide and throughout the earth. A juicio de los atraídos por su figura pero que no necesariamente comparten su pasión por el extremo rigor fiscal que, a juicio de muchos, es una de las causas de lo que está ocurriendo en su país particular, Milei ofrece una alternativa clara al statu quo, lo que ha sido más que suficiente como para hacer de él uno de los líderes de la rebelión internacional contra el orden establecido que está en marcha y que, en muchos países, amenaza con ser muy violenta.
It is that not only the usual alarmists but also people who are usually considered relatively sensible are warning that central countries, such as the United States, Britain and France, are in danger of being devastated by civil wars. They warn that the gap that separates the dominant elites – “the caste” and those who have prospered serving it -, from the bulk of citizenship, has become so great that a revolution, or counterrevolution, is inevitable. Do they exaggerate? Maybe, but it happens that those who fear the worst have plenty of reasons to worry. In addition to being despised by the members of these elites, “common people” have been harmed by the evolution of all advanced economies that are becoming less and less egalitarian.
While in Argentina the bad reputation of “the caste” is due to its corruption and ineptitude, in the United States and other countries the hostility towards the local equivalent is a consequence of the presumptions of natural superiority of its members that resemble those of certain aristocracies of other times that would end up paying a very high price because they had created intrinsically better than the others.
For many Americans, the murder just over a week ago on a university campus of Utah of the young conservative influencer Charlie Kirk was a consequence of the hatred campaign that are fighting fans of the left Woke against all those who refuse to support them or take them seriously. This is the opinion of President Donald Trump, a personal friend of Kirk, and Vice President JD Vance who did not hesitate to reply against those who celebrated in the networks the death of a persuasive adversary who had played a prominent role in the “cultural wars” that are freeing in the superpower.
As reported, many who reacted with joy to the murder, or who tried to justify it by alluding to the victim’s anti-Woke preaching, have already lost their jobs in companies, journalistic media or academic institutions: in the United States and other Western countries, the culture of cancellation has ceased to be a “progressive” monopoly as it was before Trump’s return to the White House. As he could foresee, the whites of the offensive unleashed by the US government are comparing themselves with the leftists who, in the fifties of the last century, were persecuted by Senator Joseph McCarthy who accused them -sometimes rightly right -, of being communist agents who conspired against the United States.
Be that as it may, the repercussions of Kirk’s murder for a young man without a criminal record who, it seems, believed he was a defender of the transsexuals and the mortal enemy of fascism, did not limit themselves to their own country. Also in Europe, where few had heard of him before, the news of his death was immediately incorporated into the staunch conflict between those who ufan from their “progressivism” and others.
In London, where an immense crowd – for the organizers, there were more than one million, only around 150 thousand according to the police – protested against the illegal immigration of large contingents of young men mostly from the Muslim world and the barely disguised disregard of the Labor Government for freedom of expression, since he has become accustomed to requesting the imprisonment of those who in the networks are mofanous Migratory, many attendees vehemently repudiate what had just happened in the United States. Although the popular Prime Minister Keir Starmer disqualified the demonstration, automatically attributing it to “the ultra -right”, cannot ignore that most of his compatriots sympathize with the views of those concerned with the demographic transformation of his country and the apparent lack of interest of their recent rulers, be labor or conservative, in paying attention to the many problems that are causing.
In France, the panorama is, if possible, even more ominous than the one faced by the British authorities. President Emmanuel Macron has been discredited to such an extent that he is almost impossible to form a government capable of curb French.
In this case, the health of the common currency would depend even more on the strength of Germany, but it happens that the “economic engine” of Europe, where the government of Friedrich Merz Foreign Minister, which assumed on May 6, is far from consolidated in power, is also in crisis. While the Teutonas elites continue to claim the decision of former Foreign Minister Angela Merkel to open the doors to enter more than one million alleged Syrian refugees, accompanied by countless others that, usually, were not in a position to adapt to the demands of an advanced society and therefore would depend on the life of social services, the majority seems to have come to the conclusion that in that opportunity “Mutti” Merkel made an error of historical proportions. Likewise, the policy progressing to fight climate change disregarding fossil fuels and nuclear energy, in addition to the strategic need to stop depending on Russian gas, they have wreaked havoc irremediable to the until recently very powerful German industry.
For the rest, while in France the “ultra -right” Marine Le Pen is, despite the legal problems she faces, the favorite to succeed Macron, on the other side of the Rin the even more “ultra -right” alternative for Germany is on the way to stand in the most voted party. Since in both countries many defenders of the status quo are convinced that it would be legitimate to go to any extreme to keep those who call “fascists” or “neo -Nazis” at the same time, it would not surprise at all that some opted for armed resistance.
Although Italy is usually taken by a chronically dysfunctional country that is prone to produce very precarious governments, of the greatest in the West seems to be the most stable, since, unlike those of the United Kingdom, France and Germany, the government of the “ultra -right” Giorgia Meloni has not seen its authority, while the opposition it faces is less hysterical than the exalted wing of the Democratic party American whose members insist that Trump is an autocrat of Mussolinian ambitions or “literally Hitler” and therefore must be stopped by the means they were.
Did the inflamed rhetoric thus contribute alleged to Kirk’s murder and the two attempts to kill Trump when he was campaigning? Many supporters of the American president attribute them to the climate of opinion that has created “the lunatic left”, while some do not hesitate to affirm that the rabid behavior of their opponents gives them the right to react strongly to what they describe as “war acts”, it goes without saying that the furious rhetoric that has become habitual among politicized Americans, increases the risk that in the next weeks that in the next weeks that in the next weeks that in the next weeks Political violence in a country where there are more lethal weapons than inhabitants.
