that's no fun! i love dunking on commies. helps refine arguments and maybe someone will click a link and change their mind. hell, maybe i'll see some evidence and change my mind about the nuances of Voluntaryism. i usually don't argue online unless there is an imbalance between one political side or the other; in this case, the old censored forum used to have some grump patriots that would tell the Peronists to shut up, but here most people are generous - so i step in when i think the conversation is unbalanced
I actually enjoy reading post from both points of view. Even if I think one way, I still like to read insights into why someone disagrees. More interesting. I think some are just frustrated at the bleak economic situation and they don't know who to blame so they blame Milei. I enjoy reading your posts @StatusNomadicus. On the old forum I have noticed a sharp drop off of posts lately. Almost no posts anymore. I can't tell if people have just moved out of Buenos Aires. It does sound like many have left or leaving soon.that's no fun! i love dunking on commies. helps refine arguments and maybe someone will click a link and change their mind. hell, maybe i'll see some evidence and change my mind about the nuances of Voluntaryism. i usually don't argue online unless there is an imbalance between one political side or the other; in this case, the old censored forum used to have some grump patriots that would tell the Peronists to shut up, but here most people are generous - so i step in when i think the conversation is unbalanced
but jump in when you have some links that i don't! bad ideas need sunlight
i suspect the loyalists to Igor will stay with their echo-chamber, but the usage will dwindle. i try to bring new people i meet onto this site, but Facebook still has a monopoly...i refuse to use FB because i despise the pro-lockdown and pro-government-tyranny stances. eventually more and more people will find this site, and we'll have a good mix of Expats here (i don't often disagree with earlyretirement, but wanting more locals here is one of those...i just find it weird a local would want to be on an Expat forum. i'm not on a female Czech hula-hooper forum, for example). but earlyretirement has sworn to not censor political/etc. speech (of course there are reasons for moderating spam and calls for violence, etc.) - so i'm here for the long-haul and i hope we can get some rock-solid write-ups pinned for tasks that most Expats will have to go through, sort of like a repository for tramites and such in Argentina for hte first year.
@StatusNomadicus which Argentina websites on Facebook are good? Any you can recommend. I saw a few. I figured you probably know the most popular one if you can post any.
do you mean which groups on FB? i know there are some Expat groups, some kind of name like "Mendoza Expats" or similar depending on the city/neighborhood, but i did a meet-up with a group in Buenos Aires many months ago and they were pretty active. if you have Facebook you can just search expats [city] and find the one with thousands of members and see if they are any good. i like this forum better because i can support earlyretirement instead of that commie Mark Zuckerberg
Yes, I meant groups on FB. I don't use FB much at all but some places still use FB as their website. Amazing that people don't all have normal websites today. I don't like using FB but I guess it could be helpful with groups. I agree with you about all of these companies. I don't trust any of them anymore except for Twitter/X. I will look for the groups. I also prefer this website and most things I need to find out I can find here.
This was excellent @StatusNomadicus. Thanks for posting.
