Milei and its cheerleaders make permanent allusion to logical fallacies, most of the time misused, while their speeches are built entirely with them.
The most abused is the ad hominem fallacy, which confuse with the simple insult. Milei invariably uses it every time someone dares to question it, resorting to folders, real or arbitrary, with which he believes neutralize criticism. Anything that is not the exaltation of the great leader is reversed in an attack on the critics issuer, by invention of some evil and dishonest relationship with the State, followed by the murder apparatus of the reputation organized from the Government House.
Milei also loves to talk about the principle of revelation, but for him, everything he observes is the same: those who do not bless his words part of the “caste” and are exposed simply for not giving him cult.
The $ Libra scandal is, in that sense, one of the most important revelations of this government about the real weight of its convictions expressed, which many believe inflexible. It is not my case. Milei initiated the tweet that served as a means for a monumental scam – with which his friends packed between 80 and 100 million dollars of his unsuspecting followers – affirming that “liberal Argentina grows” and closing it with her favorite slogan: “Long live freedom , fuck ”. Thus leaves us a laboratory piece to understand the role that ideology plays in its power scheme.
Many still believe that Milei is a liberal stubborn who does not yield at all because of her doctrinal purity. This is sold by liberals at their service, to justify their own presence in space. They are as denaders as he. After the $ Libra case we know that liberalism, the economy that for him can mean the well -being of the Argentines were invoked to commit a scam. Nothing can be more significant and informative.
Everything in which Milei appears to believe with fervor is revealed as well as a farce, a utilitarian peel, a alibi that hides an eagerness to obtain benefits, honors, recognition or bad money.
Milei is liberal to sell their cryptocurrency, dog lover to simulate sensitivity, but their own living in cages and there have been no images of them since they were puppies. He hates Chinese communism with all his soul, until he discovers that he should do business with them. As Tom Cruise’s character in Jerry Maguire his speech is in the background under the slogan “Show Me The Money.” Until its genuflection with Trump has that character. He called a opponent on Twitter ignorant when he compared it with then brand new president during his first mandate, but today is his pet because power and figuration are there.
When he must explain what he does next to a lover of protectionism while holding his libertarian rhetoric (reduced to economic aspects, the only one currently allowed in the Liberal Club), the propaganda character of the ideas he speaks of is seen. Thus, it justifies his trip to a party act of those who impose tariffs on Argentine exports in the name of free trade, which is seen that it is worth less than the next cover imported from his sister.
He tells those who are forced to pay their partisan trip that will propose a free trade agreement to the maximum exponent of the commercial war, an obvious nonsense. When no one even considers his alleged proposal, if he did it, he blames Mercosur. Did you find out the problem with Mercosur just when arriving in the United States? Who applied his sister’s guillotine for that?
Its liberals do not seem offended by the use of their ideas for such innobles. The revelation principle acted in this case to two bands. Ideas pass, but businesses remain. Not artists.
