    As a ND person I’m so fucking glad his typical Argentine politics are being labeled using sanity related terms. There’s nothing problematic about this whatsoever.

      He talks to his dead dogs, its clearly not just his politics. Heck if he were working at a factory or smthn I wouldn’t care. Same with Brandon, he clearly isn’t fit to be President.

      I wouldn’t question Trump’s mental sanity for instance. He is just a regular old piece of shit.

        How is that any different from any other religious beliefs politicians have? He is being singled out and labeled insane whereas others are not. It’s just people seeing a target they can get away with.

          Christianity (and other organized religions) are vestiges of a very effective way of packaging culture. Replace “God” with “the community” and things make lots of sense. It’s not a terribly new observation that an individual’s perception of reality is constructed by society. Why not simply call that process of construction God? Yeah, when it’s stripped of all forms of communal relations and obligations as all things under capitalism are, you’re left with a very dumb kernel of “imagine a really big wizard” but the fact that it’s endured at all goes to show how deeply woven religion was into the lives of people before us. The difference between religion and superstition is the order: religion is about understanding the world as we experience it. A ghost dog telling you to sell the organs of children is not religion, it is, charitably, superstition.

      Just because Milei is an asshole doesnt mean he’s sane. Did you watch the clip? He is not behaving like someone that is fully in control of themselves.
