It’s not flame bait, it’s complaining that people look at other country politics like it’s the USA, when the situation in the local country differs substantially from what a regular American experiences. A lot of people are making unsubstantive comments and flamebait, without the context that Argentina is in, with an economic situation that for the average American is unimaginable. If you feel it’s flamebait, then I’m sorry for try to educate people about other countries they don’t have any idea about.


I know that users do that, and they shouldn't, but your post was certainly flamebait, as well as personal, as well as an internet trope ("tell me without telling me"), and the site guidelines ask you to avoid all of that.

It's certainly possible to make your substantive points thoughtfully, and in the spirit of curiosity that is supposed to be the core value here. Why not do that instead? If you really want to educate people, you'll get much further that way.
