A Jugar Con Tugo
![<i>A jugar con Hugo</i> was the Argentine version of <i><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hugo_(franchise)">Hugo</a></i>, a Danish franchise of games made to be played on TV via phone calls, although versions for home consoles and computers were made.

<i>Tugo</i> is an abbreviation of <i><b>Tu go</b>bierno</i>, an expression used to mock advocates of the current officialist party every time they do something that makes their lives worse. This expression originated during the COVID lockdowns, and now it is used to mock libertarian militants.

Snore 💤 Juniors Football Club (in Spanish)
![Boca Juniors sent some of their best players to the Argentine football team at the upcoming 2024 Summer Olympics. To compensate for this, they originally intended to bring reinforcements. Sadly, they sent the request at the very last minute, minute that was way too late due to timezone differences. Thus, they could not have Gary Medel, Tomas Belmonte, Brian Aguirre and Milton Giménez during the upcoming match. This generated a lot of backlash against the board of trustees, and produced memes like this one.
* <i>Chelo Sedado</i> (Sedate) is a reference to Marcelo Alejandro "Chelo" Delgado.
* <i><a href="https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/futon">Futón</a> Bermúdez</i> is a wordplay on Jorge "El Patrón" Bermúdez.
* <i>Chicho Siesta</i> is a wordplay on Mauricio "Chicho" Serna.

"There's no money"

Once he became a president, he realized that the Chinese currency swap was very important for the economy, and <a href="https://www.lapoliticaonline.com/politica/milei-cede-ante-china-y-le-manda-una-carta-a-xi-jinping-para-que-libere-el-swap/">sent a letter to Xi Jinping</a>.

* <i>Tuvo que darle un cargo a su mujer para que pueda laburar</i> / Had to give <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agua_y_Saneamientos_Argentinos">a job</a> to <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malena_Galmarini">his wife</a> so she could actually work.

During the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1998%E2%80%932002_Argentine_great_depression">2001 crisis</a>, he migrated to Colombia, where he joined the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Revolutionary_Armed_Forces_of_Colombia">Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia</a>. His activities there earned jail time until July of the previous year.
On August 10, 2023, he was protesting at the Obelisk of Buenos Aires (which involved a street closure). Once the police came to neutralize the protest after there was an attempt to burn something. Detentions were made, and Molares was one of the people to be sent to the police station. <a href="https://www.lanacion.com.ar/sociedad/corte-total-en-elobelisco-internaron-a-una-persona-que-se-descompenso-en-una-marcha-en-corrientes-y-nid10082023/">Molares suffered a decompensation</a>, and ended up <a href="https://www.lanacion.com.ar/seguridad/exmiembro-de-las-farc-y-fotorreportero-quien-era-facundo-molares-schoenfeld-el-hombre-que-murio-en-nid10082023/">dying of a heart attack after several revival attempts</a>.
The circumstances around his death were highly controversial, especially considering that this Sunday there are presidential elections. The previous murder of Morena Domínguez, a 11 year old girl that died after being stabbed by criminals in order to steal her backpack, was also very controversial.
One of the acts of solidarity towards Molares was this tweet. Given that she wrongly spells his surname as (the more common) Mo<b>r</b>a<b>l</b>es, people pointed out that this is likely empty virtue signalling.

Detentions were made, and Molares was one of the people to be sent to the police station. <a href="https://www.lanacion.com.ar/sociedad/corte-total-en-elobelisco-internaron-a-una-persona-que-se-descompenso-en-una-marcha-en-corrientes-y-nid10082023/">Molares suffered a decompensation</a>, and ended up <a href="https://www.lanacion.com.ar/seguridad/exmiembro-de-las-farc-y-fotorreportero-quien-era-facundo-molares-schoenfeld-el-hombre-que-murio-en-nid10082023/">dying of a heart attack after several revival attempts</a>.
The circumstances around his death were highly controversial, especially considering that this Sunday there are presidential elections. The previous murder of Morena Domínguez, a 11 year old girl that died after being stabbed by criminals in order to steal her backpack, was also very controversial.
One of the acts of solidarity towards Molares was this tweet. Given that she wrongly spells his surname as (the more common) Mo<b>r</b>a<b>l</b>es, people pointed out that this is likely empty virtue signalling.
Reuploaded because I forgot to translate "cana" (slang term for the police in Argentina). Original upload:

The 2018 progressive wave must return ASAP
![Some of the greatest hits of the 2018 progressive wave include:
* <a href="https://elpais.com/internacional/2018/02/06/argentina/1517952193_089718.html">Jorge Rial</a> (the Argentine equivalent of Perez Hilton) becoming a feminist icon.
* Hijo de yuta/la mierda // Por el amor de Wos // La yuta que te Carrió, all subtitutes for <i>Son of a bitch</i> and <i>For God's sake</i> (using "bitch" is sexist, and mentioning "God" is to be an useful tool to the Church).
* <i>Responsabilidad afectiva</i>.
* <i>Gonza Ilustrado</i>.
* <a href="https://www.lanacion.com.ar/espectaculos/radio/baby-etchecopar-tendra-micro-feminista-como-condena-nid2254812/">State-enforced weekly ten minutes</a> of feminist propaganda which could not be challenged in any way by the staff of the radio station that aired for five months.
* <i>Todes</i>, a TV show produced and broadcasted by the National University of La Plata.
* <i>Yo te creo hermana</i> (I believe you, sis), which culminated in the harassment towards the <a href="https://www.lanacion.com.ar/sociedad/rosario-historia-dios-punk-musico-fue-acusado-nid2307416/">Punk God</a>, which eventually ended in suicide. All of this for a crime that never happened.
* The peak of popularity of Emmanuel Danann, with his fake debates with his then-girlfriend, who acted as Marla, a strawman feminist character.
"Using inclusive language to refer to kittens" is a reference to <a href="https://youtu.be/CcXcUiFZwVE">this fragment</a> of an interview by Tomás Rebord with Noelia Custodio, an Argentine actress. People mocked this tweet because there are bigger worries, like having half of the population living in poverty.](https://i.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/masonry/002/627/634/019.png)

The state of Twitter Argentina in 2020 (in Spanish)

La Derecha Diario usually uses an emoji to indicate the relevant country of a news, in this meme they use the Honduras flag emoji instead of the Argentine flag one as to lampoon them.

The fictional tweet says that he plans to outlaw private property, "or something like that, dunno, I didn't understood what he meant".
3. ElBuni (a famous Twitter Argentina figure) is lampooned for posting memes that people treat as real news. It does not help that he usually posts actual news, and that he does not disclose that the memes are just memes.
