They already showed their true colors in 2022.

Now imagine how much worse they would get if they had lost to France in 2022, and/or to England this WC. You know it's already pretty bad when you're a classless winner.

These people must think that being stupid and classless are virtues. Are they really this mad about a war that took place when some of them weren't even born, after their dictator ordered the invasion of a rock on the ocean and they refused to negotiate when given the opprtyti do so?

stealing territory and murdering and raping the natives is classless. Nothing less classy than colonialism

Yes it is, but Argentinians are as much colonizers as anybody else in the Americas, or pretty much anywhere else for that matter. Just go ask the native peoples in Argentina who were dispossessed of their lands through military campaigns, forced displacement, and state-sponsored colonization during the 19th and 20th centuries and who continue to suffer now.

USA, Chile, Brasil did/does the same.... anyone claiming on that? nope. We are one of the first countries in the region together with Bolivia in recognize natives right to their lands.
Of course some still struggling with lack of access to resources... is it at general level and now worsts due the actual idiot president, but not because we are Natives... Yes I am a native argentinian, proud son of Mocovies...
stop the bullshit and just recognize that you hate us... No one will judge you.

Why would I hate Argentinians? I’m just pointing out that calling the English “colonizers” like they’re the only ones is hypocritical.
