Context for this meme:

1. On <a href="https://www.lanacion.com.ar/politica/fabiola-yanez-denuncio-a-alberto-fernandez-por-violencia-de-genero-nid06082024/">August 6, 2024</a>, Alberto Fernández was accused of intimate partner violence by his ex-wife Fabiola Yáñez.
2. On <a href="https://radiomitre.cienradios.com/politica/si-vos-me-denuncias-me-voy-a-matar-la-escalofriante-amenaza-de-alberto-fernandez-a-fabiola-yanez/">August 7, 2024</a>, Sandra Borghi reported that Fernández said to Yáñez that he was going to kill himself if she ever spoke about those incidents.
3. On <a href="https://www.infobae.com/politica/2024/08/09/la-denuncia-de-fabiola-yanez-contra-alberto-fernandez-venis-golpeandome-hace-tres-dias-seguidos/">August 8, 2024</a>, Infobae published the evidence Yáñez had against Fernández. <a href="https://x.com/Luis_Delia/status/1821709161769439307">Luis D'Elia</a> (a controversial figure himself) condemns Fernández, and publicly asks the former president to apologise to Fabiola, their children, his party comrades, and the Argentine people, and to kill himself. The very same day, <a href="https://www.infobae.com/politica/2024/08/08/se-conocio-un-video-de-alberto-fernandez-con-tamara-pettinato-en-el-despacho-presidencial-de-la-casa-rosada/">a video of Fernández and Tamara Pettinato</a> gets leaked, where very notably the former asks the latter to say something nice about him.
4. On <a href="https://x.com/Luis_Delia/status/1821864544064438608">August 9, 2024</a>, D'Elia publishes an screenshot of a message Alberto Fernández sent him, where the latter asks the former to listen to him before he kills himself.
5. On <a href="https://x.com/Luis_Delia/status/1822300290822898043">August 10, 2024</a>, D'Elia once again talks about suicide and publishes this meme mocking Alberto Fernández.

Sofía Clerici was already <a href="https://www.perfil.com/noticias/politica/en-plena-campana-sofia-clerici-blanqueo-su-romance-con-martin-insaurralde-en-el-mediterraneo.phtml">a controversial figure</a> during the 2023 elections. This creepy post was covered in a lot of news websites: <a href="https://www.infobae.com/teleshow/2024/02/20/sofia-clerici-revelo-que-toma-sangre-y-conto-el-motivo-todos-quieren-mi-secreto/">Infobae</a>, <a href="https://www.ciudad.com.ar/espectaculos/2024/02/20/sofia-clerici-revelo-por-que-toma-sangre-una-vez-por-semana-a-veces-en-shot/">Ciudad Magazine</a>, <a href="https://www.eltrecetv.com.ar/noticias/2024/02/20/sofia-clerici-conto-cual-es-su-escalofriante-tip-de-belleza-para-mantenerse-joven/">eltrece</a>, <a href="https://www.clarin.com/fama/sofia-clerici-revelo-insolito-metodo-utiliza-mantenerse-joven-bebe-propia-sangre_0_asIDufXYSL.html">Clarín</a>, <a href="https://tn.com.ar/show/famosos/2024/02/20/sofia-clerici-conto-que-toma-sangre-para-verse-mas-joven-y-mostro-los-tragos-que-prepara/">TN</a>, <a href="https://www.losandes.com.ar/por-las-redes/el-perturbador-habito-de-sofia-clerici-para-mantenerse-joven-por-eso-soy-una-mune-de-porcelana/">Los Andes</a>, <a href="https://www.mdzol.com/mdz-show/2024/2/20/sofia-clerici-exnovia-de-martin-insaurralde-revelo-que-toma-su-propia-sangre-407161.html">MDZ Online</a>, <a href="https://www.minutouno.com/espectaculos/sofia-clerici/revelo-el-escalofriante-metodo-que-utiliza-mantenerse-joven-n5949476">MinutoUno</a>, and <a href="https://www.elobservador.com.uy/nota/sofia-clerici-mostro-el-metodo-inusual-que-usa-para-mantenerse-joven-que-toma--202422013591">El Observador from Uruguay</a>, among many, many others.

The fact that he ended up dismembered lead to jokes comparing him to Exodia, from _Yu-Gi-Oh!._

Argentine people have two sides:

The joke of the meme is that the record on the left (made for the 1981 <a href="https://youtu.be/cFfw5ywngxw">Operativo Sol</a> by the Buenos Aires Province Police) included the song <i>Boby no me extrañes</i>, a cutesy song about having to leave pets behinds while going on vacation. This song served as inspiration for a lot of sport songs, the most common being "<i>[Insert name of the FC] este campaña volveremos a estar contigo</i>".
The most infamous sport chant based on this song is <i>Escuchen, corran la bola</i>, a homophobic, transphobic, racist, clasist song sung by the Nueva Chicago hooligans.
The <a href="https://youtu.be/mBmcuw4CRpQ">most famous video</a> of a live performance of the song prominently features the guy on the right. The guy became so iconic that even the thumbnail for a <a href="https://youtu.be/G84c_IRWUdk">state-funded documentary</a> on this song (and others based on the topic of gender and identities) features him.
Inspired by this <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8lcXjXhQgPs&lc=UgzwRqY3_XtUVlikYf54AaABAg">YouTube comment</a>. <a href="https://twitter.com/obranarrativa/status/1652760344291422208">Source</a> for the cover art.

Rulombo goes to a restaurant with his father and posts the bill

This tweet is intended to lampoon the people who post on social media photos of their restaurant bills and complain about the country. It goes without saying, but there's no way only two people can eat that much food, that's also part of the joke.
Based on the value of the <i>dólar blue</i> as of <a href="https://twitter.com/ValorDolarBlue/status/1662179307899240461">May 26, 2023</a>, all of that food costed 58.92 USD. In the original version of the text, Ezeiza makes reference to the Ministro Pistarini International Airport, which is the largest international airport in Argentina and is located in Ezeiza.
Mentioning Ezeiza is one of the running gags of the PLP (Partido Liberal Pesimista, <i>Pesimist Libertarian Party</i>), a joke group dedicated to highlight the absolute state of Argentina, and why migrating to anywhere else is the right thing to do.

Chief we are starving, take the reins of the country and take over the government! / Please! / No way!!!

On May 16, 2023, Cristina Fernández de Kirchner (current Vicepresident since 2019, and former President for two terms between 2007 and 2015) published <a href="https://www.cfkargentina.com/a-los-companeros-y-companeras/">an open letter</a> announcing she will not run for President in the upcoming 2023 presidential elections. A lot of people who are fans of Peronism were expecting for her to run again, and they're now desperate.

If she made the decision to not run again for President, then she's not proscribed by someone else

Gonza Carranza @gonzacarranzaa A mi en lo personal me duele la decisión de Cristina. Me duele porque siento y reafirmo que es la única con la experiencia, la capacidad y la empatía para sacarnos de este lío. Sin embargo, su proscripción es real y nos da cuenta que vivimos a merced del Poder Judicial Translated from Spanish by Google Cristina's decision hurts me personally. It hurts me because I feel and reaffirm that she is the only one with the experience, ability and empathy to get us out of this mess. However, her proscription is real and it shows us that we live at the mercy of the Judiciary 6:47 PM - May 16, 2023 88.2K Views 64 Retweets 170 Quotes 555 Likes 13 Bookmarks 27 □

A meme made in reference to an infamous event on live TV

On <a href="https://infonews.com/larreta-a24-fanta-la-matanza-plaza-de-san-justo-votos-esteban-trebucq-manipulacion.html">May 9, 2023</a>, Esteban Trebucq was reporting in San Justo, asking people passing by who they planned to vote in the upcoming presidential elections, some of them even mentioned who they'd vote for governor, despite no one asking that. The funny thing is that everyone who said who voted for Horacio Rodríguez Larreta, had a bottle of Fanta orange soda, something the reporter noticed too. <a href="https://www.clarin.com/politica/polemica-chicanas-insolita-encuesta-callejera-botellitas-fanta-votaban-larreta_0_7fIUZcEOT8.html">This became a meme</a>, due to how pathetic the whole thing was. It seems that the <i>punteros</i> noticed that the whole thing was too obvious, so they asked their actors to <a href="https://twitter.com/INRamos13/status/1656125662145527808">hide the bottles</a> as much as they could. Here's an <a href="https://twitter.com/INRamos13/status/1656118200315019265">interesting thread on Twitter</a> (in Castilian) that documents the most notorious cases.

Increase of the dólar blue since the first business day of the year up to April 24, 2023

The <i>dólar blue</i> is the American dollar sold freely by individuals without permission of the government, and without limits. Thanks to Alejandro Agustín Lanusse and the Argentine Revolution (Law 18924/1971), it is illegal to trade with foreign currencies without authorization of the government. This last month it has been experiencing extreme increases, and people have assumed we're in the eve of an hyperinflation.

“Sentido Común” (Common Sense) by HistorietaBord (in Spanish)

Translation:

1. “What's your plan to lower the inflation?” — “I'm going to kill all retirees” — “Okay... you're a son of a bitch” — “Shut up, impoverisher leftist!”
2. “Controversial retiree reduction plan of one of the favorite candidates in the polls” — “Is it possible that the project reaches Congress?” — “We are going to discuss it 24 hours a day on all channels”
3. “Relax, this government is not going to kill retirees even if we have inflation of 100%, 200% or 300%. Seniors have the right to live a full, happy life and also enjoy, why not, their sexuality. That it is a subject that is not talked about and we should reflect on it. You see, sex in old age...”
4. “We do not agree with extreme measures. There are no magical solutions. There is only work, work, work. That is why we commit ourselves not to kill more than 5 out of 10 retirees.”

Panel 3 is a reference to an <a href="https://www.pagina12.com.ar/243514-gabriela-cerruti-hay-que-hacer-la-revolucion-de-las-viejas-p">infamous Instagram post</a> and <a href="https://www.pagina12.com.ar/321310-el-goce-es-nuestro">(later) book</a> by Gabriela Cerruti in which she vindicates old people, and talks about their sexual needs.
Panel 4 is Horacio Rodríguez Larreta and a criticism of his Central Korea approach.

José Luis Espert proposes the Peso Libre (Free -as in freedom, not free as in free beer- Peso)

José Luis Espert is one of the two main libertarian candidates in Argentina. He's famous for advocating for the <a href="https://twitter.com/jlespert/status/475033688850567168">dollarization of Argentina</a> for several years. The fact that he now advocates for a national currency, after joining forces with Horacio Rodríguez Larreta (which turned out to be quite controversial), sunk his reputation even further.
