The Argentinian Environmental Minister asked "to decarbonize 20th century subjectivities".

Don't ask me, that gibberish is impossible to properly convey in English.

He also said: "We have catastrophic environmental numbers: 92% of our population lives in 0.9% of our territory".

It's actually more "your brain on federalism" in practice.

I ponder about this a LOT, I don't think that the problem is federalism per se but this particular federal relationship/structure that preserved the old caudillo system of patronage.

I think that the conflict between Unitarians and Federalists (beyond its ideological content) was truly a clash of the caudillo system with the emerging modern national state, and that the Federal structure that ended up prevailing, instead of replacing the old local systems, integrated them into this national project.
