"Some of you may die, but that's a sacrifice I'm willing to make."

Human Capital Minister Sandra Pettovello replaced traditional social programs with limited-reaching programs, suspended deliveries of medication for people with serious illnesses, closed ministry offices across the country, and canceled food deliveries to popular kitchens.

Yeah, those ARE the expected actions of someone appointed by "Captain AnCap" to a post that by its very name implies monetizing of human misery 🤬

In response to today's mobilizations, Security Minister Patricia Bullrich threatened to activate her anti-riot protocol, which includes the intervention of federal forces to ensure "free circulation" in public spaces.

And of course the only reaction to extremely reasonable dissent a far right government can think of is authoritarian violence 😮‍💨🤬

Hunger

That is usually the line when society will start moving towards revolution and change.

Get a little hungry? ... people start getting angry

Get more hungry? ... people start protesting

Face starvation? .... people no longer have anything to lose and violent revolution becomes the only option. Why sit around waiting to die when you could just try fighting with a remote possibility of winning when your option is certain death?

This is also the reason why the whole western world does their very best to keep us poor but not so poor that we become hungry. As long as we're fed, can afford some food or have access to food, we'll let the powers that be do whatever they like.
