Javier Milei has claimed that a coordinated “anti-Argentina campaign” was behind criticism of the country’s team, accusations of racism among its fans and conspiracy theories alleging that Lionel Messi’s side was secretly being favoured by Fifa.
Now, the far-right president has taken the narrative a step further, alleging that the supposed campaign was financed by the US Democratic party and the governments of Brazil and Mexico.
“It was the work of progressive minds who do not want the ideas of freedom to succeed,” claimed the self-styled libertarian in an interview with a local radio station on Sunday.

After 16 months of shifting tradepolicies and tense relations with the United States, persistent uncertainty continues to hamper business investment in Canada – but a survey finds few companies are planning to expand operations into the U.S. or relocate there.
Ten per cent of Canadian manufacturing firms plan to delay major investments over the next 12 months in response to U.S. tariffs, compared with 5 per cent of all businesses, according to a quarterly survey conducted by Statistics Canada in partnership with the Canadian Chamber of Commerce.
The survey was conducted between April 1 and May 6, and included more than 9,200 responses. Because of the timeframe, it doesn’t account for reaction to the Trump administration’s recent announcement of 50-per-cent tariffs on a variety of Canadian goods, announced last week and set to take effect on Aug. 19.

There is absolutely no norm that the regime won’t manipulate in its propaganda and scamming.

Island states with their own governments are likely more interested in money. I’m sure they can be corrupted easily.

So, because AI is designed such that it eventually begins to eat its own shit, its owners are looking further and further afield for text unpolluted by AI shit.
But you know what? AI is still designed eventually to begin to eat its own shit. Its owners can destroy all the books in the world in search of AI-shit-free training material, but sooner or later it will shit on all that training material.
Seems like this doesn’t get enough attention. AI is designed such that it will eventually ruin itself. The “better” it works–the more it replaces human text with AI text–the faster it ruins itself.
