Anti-Argentina posts on X went viral through betting houses and bots

The Argentina has been the target of a coordinated international campaign designed solely to attack the country and discredit its citizens.

This offensive, denounced as paid and financed from abroad, attempted to instill throughout the tournament the falsehood that the World Cup was “rigged” to favor Lionel Messi, when reality showed that the National Team was “greatly harmed” in the decisive instance.

The attack was not spontaneous, but a digital psychological warfare operation. A data analysis on the X platform revealed that the volume of messages against Argentina skyrocketed after the match against England.

The narrative was driven by “anonymous but verified accounts”, many of them associated with “betting houses from Russia or Eastern Europe”, which manipulated algorithms to spread hate.

This campaign was structured around axes that exceeded the sporting realm, mixing football with accusations of “racism”, issues related to “Israel and Palestine”, and the infamous label of being a refuge for “Nazis after the war”. The operation advanced in three layers:

Global impact through “fake news” and “distorted videos” on social media.

Media legitimization in newspapers such as New York Post, Daily Post, The Telegraph, and The Athletic, where recognized journalists published editorials against the country.

The pinnacle of celebrity, with international figures like actor Samuel L. Jackson, who claimed that Argentina was “one of the most racist countries, if not the most racist in the world”, urging not to support the National Team.

Spain, on the other hand, committed 16 infractions (or 19, according to other records) and finished the match with zero yellow cards.

Despite this sabotage, Emiliano "Dibu" Martínez delivered a “historic performance” with 11 saves, the most in a final since 1966.

The reaction of the Argentine people to this external aggression was immediate and patriotic. Indignation escalated as videos of “foreign students”, many of them enrolled at the University of Buenos Aires (UBA), mocking the national defeat and offending the “Malvinas Cause” and the “memory of the fallen” went viral.

In light of this contempt for the nation that provides them with free education, thousands of citizens are demanding the “charging of fees for health and education” for non-residents, claiming that resources should be allocated “prioritizing Argentines” who sustain the system with their taxes.

In line with this demand for basic justice, the national government of Javier Milei has already authorized by decree the collection of fees from non-resident foreigners, leaving the execution of this measure, which ends decades of state-funded parasitism, in the hands of the provinces.

The Argentina of Javier Milei will no longer be the doormat of the world. While the international elite tried to steal the cup from us at their desks, the Argentine people have decided to reclaim their dignity, charging those who hate us and defending, against all odds, our sovereignty and our flag.
