    right wing orgs have spent years boosting argentina and framing stats to try and make milei look successful, i really don’t get why they’ve changed tack during a world cup

      Anti-Latin American Racism and Xenophobia is very much popular in places like Spain and Portugal, as much as Right-Wing Argentinians will pretend and swear they are 100% Europeans, they’ll still get treated like pure shit by Americans and Europeans.

        yeah, on reflection can definitely see how the spanish would take any opportunity to shit on argentina to drive/reestablish european supremacy (and portugal would do the same with brazil)

        just seems to conflict with the american project of boosting all the right wing south american states, which especially applied to argentina as they wanted to brute force the weird ancap pedo as successful by any means necessary
