    Gorillas (in Argentina, the term “gorilla” is a derogatory political label used to refer to anyone who strongly opposes Peronism, which often implies that they are conservative, anti-populist, or reactionary. Originating from a 1955 radio sketch, it was adopted to describe civilians or military personnel who conspired against President Juan Domingo Perón)/Gusanos are really stupid and reactionary.

    If you say anything bad about Macri or Milei’s goverment, they will say that it is somehow the fault of Cristina Kirchner, Néstor, or Perón, even though Perón and Néstor have been dead for decades. They cannot admit that 99% of Argentina’s problems are the fault of the reactionary elite in Buenos Aires, who hate everyone in the country (they hate the fact they were born in Latin America, and hates Latin American culture, and does everything possible to be like the US, they have been like that since the 1870s) and want Argentina to be a colony of the West, as long as the elite remain intact.

    Argentinian society is full of problems (refusal to recognize the afro-argentinian culture or even debate it, the genocide against the native americans), but somehow the ones who live outside of Argentina are even more reactionary.
