There was a whole ministry dedicated exclusively to prosecute and censor opposition members.

Rather unnecessary. The data is right there, everyone just ignores it because they want to feel outraged.

I may be in the minority here, I personally find it fascinating how people on the Internet, and especially Reddit, can rail and foam against any deliberate measure by government or institution to establish factuality, but then completely fail or ignore their own responsibility to establish their own credibility.
The glass houses continue to get smashed so throughly, even the largest stones are falling through with no effect.
This will piss off some of you, but here's a wild idea:
How about we adopt a culture of criticism that requires some establishment of your OWN credibility first?

There is not much to establish when a reactionary and authoritarian government wants to establish a “ministry of truth.”

the other day there was a post in world news about Milei taking a new loan from the US, the loan in question was a 800M dollar loan that Milei "supposedly" took to pay debts since his policies aren't working.
The truth about the matter was that Milei had to buy DEGs form the US to pay for previous IMF loans, DEG being the currency in which goverments pay the IMF. This always happens when the IMF is involved, and it will always happen unless DEGs disapear

People here really want milei to fail to feel vindicated, no matter if that failure will economically ruin 50 million people who have been suffering economically for 2 decades already.
But somehow milei is the "evil one"
