When Javier Milei He talks about economic issues, even those who do not share their political ideology listen to it with respect. When it comes out of what is the mainland to venture in the moving sands of culture – in the anthropological sense of the word, it is understood – the president only manages to provide his enemies more reasons to mock him.
In Davos, the “magical mountain” of Thomas Mann That today is the Swiss redoubt of the global elite, Milei became the pleasure of vaping the allegedly infected by the “Mental virus of woke ideology”a cult that, after originating in American elite universities, spread throughout the western world. It goes without saying that he preached to the already converted; Although many attendees of the meetings that were held in the picturesque Alpina town had become accustomed to kindly living with the Woke missionaries for assuming them that they should not challenge them, the majority took the choice of Donald Trump As a sign that doing so would not cost them anything.
“Woke” It refers to a set of attitudes towards the different ethnic groups and the various sexual preferences that became fashionable among the “progressive” by providing them with a more persuasive alternative to “capitalism” than that supposed by the dysfunctional Marxist economic models that had previously claimed. After enjoying a boom, wokism began to retreat due to the authoritarian excesses of their most enthusiastic propellers since, in too many cases, their representatives assumed positions that turned out to be frankly ridiculous.
Until recently, the best way to scare an Anglo -word politician was to ask: What is a woman? Since according to Wake propagandists, genres are merely subjective and one can choose between dozens, any biological definition could be considered evidence of “hate” to transsexuals that protestly protest when someone is encouraged to say that they are not real women but fakers. The same as Trump and Elon MuskMilei has made his hostility towards Woke nonsense a priority, hence the furious harangue he delivered in Davos. However, unlike Americans, it does not discriminate among the militants who, as he said, have “irreversibly damaged healthy children through hormonal treatments and mutilations” – it is a matter that last year motivated a great scandal, followed by changes In the law, in the United Kingdom -, and those who only want the tolerance climate to heterodox sexual modalities that has prevailed for approximately half a century in Western societies.
Based on a notorious case, Milei linked homosexuality with pedophilia, which, as is natural, made it white of a burst of furious criticisms. He also managed to greatly angry feminists by asking the Congress to eliminate the figure of the Criminal Code “Feminicide“; in your opinion it is superfluous and, worse, it suggests that some lives are worth more than others.
As could be foreseen, the mutual admiration relationship that Milei has established with Musk is involving him in angry controversies. When solidarity with Trump, the wealthiest man in the world was transformed overnight into the character most abnamed by the progress and his short -term allies. Thus, to anyone’s surprise, those alarmed by the recent prominence of South African did not hesitate a second to take the opportunity to treat him as “a Nazi” based on a photo in which he greets a crowd with an extended arm.
While their supporters reacted immediately by putting similar photos of progressive politicians doing the same because it is a gesture that has always been quite common, they failed to erase the image that harmed Musk and his adherents, including, of course, Milei . Be that as it may, they may have assured that, until again, politicians take care to move their arms in public.
At the beginning of the management of Milei, many gave a discounted that, in a short time, millions of depouperate people would rise in rebellion against the brutal adjustment that the circumstances would force him to apply, but, to the surprise of almost all, after more than more than more than A year in power continues to hold an enviablely high level of approval. It is therefore understandable that those frustrated by their apparent invulnerability in the socioeconomic front are resolved to get the most out of their incursions into the Cultural War Theater. Not only the Kirchnerists who, in exchange for favors, managed to co -opt a endless groups that ufan from their progressivism, but also macristas, radical and independent have joined their voices to the choir that is denouncing it, causing it to respond with the irracibility that It is characteristic and thus underlining the impression that it is an energetic of ideas strikingly rudimentary.
The extravagances Woke bother the bulk of the American electorate so much that they made a decisive contribution to Trump’s triumph, but Argentina is not the United States. Here, those directly affected by the phenomenon are scarce. Although the Kirchnerists struggled to import some novelties, such as “egalitarian marriages” and “inclusive language” – which in Spanish presupposes changes that are much more drastic than those required in English – propaganda and the resulting legislative initiatives did not affect The life of the majority. Thus, it is natural that Milei’s recent obsession with the impact of wokism is motivating more strangeness than understanding.
Be that as it may, Milei seems convinced that, several decades ago, the western world was infected with a disease very similar to the one that led Argentina to its current state and therefore understands better than foreign leaders, be these politicians or successful businessmen, the dangers they will have to face. If many strive to take it seriously and ignore the most picturesque details of their way, it is because all developed countries have sunk into a deep crisis of trusted by disintegrating yesterday’s certainties without being replaced by Others, what an environment has created that is conducive to those who claim to have clear answers to the questions that are so many are asking.
It may be that the solutions claimed by Milei – less condition, more individual freedom – do not serve much at a time when, for obvious strategic reasons, both the United States and European countries are constrained to adopt undeniably statist measures, greatly increasing spending military and closing the borders so that those who lack the required documentation do not enter, but their vehement attacks to the status quo have been enough to do it the “rockstar” of the so -called “ultra -right” whose alarm boom to the defenders of what until Just a year was the established order.
In addition to attacking with fury the woke culture, Milei is in the sight of those concerned with climate change. While some, such as Trump and Milei, tend to deal with the matter as a Marxist scam, and others believe that in order to curb the warm -up of the planet, the economy must be decarbonized by stopping using fossil fuels – something that powers such as China and India They are not about to try – most are between the two extremes like that. Those who say that the increase in global temperature is due to industry and livestock activities will be right, since bovines are responsible for emitting amounts of greenhouse gases, but there are also those who underline that economic development is Essential because it serves to minimize the negative consequences of what is happening, and therefore would be collectively suicidal to try to return to pre -industrial times for assuming that generalized poverty would save the planet from a climatic apocalypse.
For more signs, Milei knows very well that trying to apply here the strategy recommended by the most fanatized greens would deprive Argentina of Vaca Muerta and other energy resources that will need to leave quickly the well in which she is trapped and that, by luck, They are already modifying the panorama in front of the country. In Europe, the “green” policies adopted with enthusiasm by the governments of Germany, France, the United Kingdom and its prosperous neighbors have contributed greatly to the socio -economic stagnation that is behind the progress of movements that those committed to the status quo politician qualify as ” Ultraderechistas “. Such movements have strengthened a lot lately thanks to the popular opposition to measures aimed at reducing the emission of polluting gases. Likewise, in Europe and North America, the conviction has been disseminated that those who affirm themselves so distressed by the global warming that they fear for their life are usually young people of high class who accuse the common people of damaging the environment when traveling in mass to tourist places that leave dirty carbon footprints.
