The country is breaking apart but I guess is more important to avoid using feminine expressions on official papers that make us look homo or something

    No one here speaks Spanish or more importantly, from Latin America, eh? So-called Inclusive language sounds removed in a Latin language that has male and female names, pronouns and nouns for everything. English is not Spanish. Cultures are different. History is different.

    This is why most actual Latin people from Latin America think made up BS terms like LatinX have to come from people from 1st world countries who are not only out of touch, but also, and as always, think they know better about how the rest of the world should live their own lives. Damn, the entitlement or NA.

    They all BS and virtue signal about how bad ‘colonialism’ is, yet they can’t stop trying to dump their crap on everyone else. Let them do want they want. It is their country. They voted the guy in and I am not going to pretend that I know better than them. You might be surprised but 3rd world people have more serious shit to care about than outing X’s at the end of words.

    Milei is nuts, but I think people are not aware how shitty Argentina has been for a while. Seems Argentinians wanted a break from their own internal crap from before, not sure if he is going to be better, but at least he is different. For the record, if I could I would never vote for him. But I am not Argentian who lobes in Argentina. Are you?

    For those wondering, inflation was going to happen, Argentina was running on crazy, worsening debt for almost 20 years. He said he was going to bring austerities, he did, inflation was going to happen, either way. To blame it squarely on him, as if it was his direct fault is like blaming Obama for 9/11 or Biden for the Iraq war. It meant that Argentina had to take even worse debt if austerities did not happen. They were going to be fucked either way. The best it can be said is that they are now less fucked than what they could have been, otherwise.

    Not that it should matter, but since some NA people are bound to think it, I am a Liberal, not a Con. Just not blind nor an idealogue.

      Im from Latin America and I speak Spanish. The inclusive language in oficial documents, what Milei is attacks, isn’t putting X at the end of words (that nobody uses, people use e instead) but including the feminine when talking about groups of people, for example instead of saying “los trabajadores se van a joder y perder sus derechos” is saying “los trabajadores y las trabajadoras se van a joder y perder sus derechos” it’s literally just adding a couple of words to the way you talk.

        I appreciate your example language. That sounds like it could be a direct quote!
