Argentinian President Javier Milei has sparked protests from LGBTQ+ activists after a fierce attack on the “wokeness” of the World Economic Forum, in which he condemned gender ideology as child abuse and its promoters as pedophiles.
Milei’s invective last Thursday unequivocally demanding the “defense of life, liberty, and private property” is the most scathing speech delivered so far by a world leader in Davos, Switzerland.
Addressing a large gabfest of globalist elites, Milei excoriated “the ideology of monolithic thinking” whose “purpose is to penalize dissent” and promote “feminism, diversity, inclusion, equity, immigration, abortion, environmentalism, and gender ideology.”

Defining wokeness as “the concept of liberation through state intervention” and castigating it as a “cancer” and a “great epidemic,” the Argentinian president, who is an economist by trade, urged world leaders to embrace “libertarianism” and the “ideas of freedom” as “the last proven thesis of economic and social success.”
“The West represents the pinnacle of human achievement on the fertile ground of its Greco-Roman heritage and Judeo-Christian values,” Milei said, challenging the globalists to “make the West great again today” by limiting the “omnipresent Leviathan” of the State and ending the “absolute global hegemony of the woke.”
“And if globally influential institutions like this one wish to turn over a new leaf and participate in good faith in this new paradigm,” he added, “it will have to take responsibility for the role played over the past decades, acknowledging to society the mea culpa that is being demanded of them.”
Milei, who has repeatedly clashed with Pope Francis – going so far as to call him an “imbecile who defends social justice” — attacked “the bloody, murderous abortion agenda” based on “the Malthusian premise that overpopulation will destroy the earth” and “that we must therefore implement some form of population control.”
In fact, he pointed out, global birth rates have now plunged so low that many countries are beginning to panic. Continue reading…
