  1. Calling Argentina "South Venezuela" is completely tossing out nuance for silly catchphrase. The two countries economies and economic (and political) histories are nothing alike. Argentina isn't an oil rentier state, for instance. It'd be akin to calling, say, Italy "south Germany" just cos both countries are democratic and capitalist. Or the UK "west France". It's a joke used by braindead libertarians who like to imagine every left-leaning state is the same thing, something they don't do with capitalist countries (Bernie Sanders just wants to make the US into "Pacific Norway", for instance - you guys like the sound of that? No?).

  2.  DharmaPolytheisticPagans ॐ  "the fallen of gdp is global pandemic which every country is facing off to" - yeah, where other big economies had GDP contractions in the single digits, ours fell by nearly 24%. And, just like Argentina, India's economy was slowing even before the pandemic (though granted we were still in the green and not in a major debt crisis like they are). Clearly nothing is wrong with India lol.

  3. Seriously, this channel checks Argentina out so often you'd think they want to ask it out on a date.
