Due to conditions only partially under my control I finally have time to summarize George Angelos Ganitis' Spanish speaking videos for youse. Thankfully there's only six of them, only one goes for longer than 12 minutes and he hasn't uploaded in 2 years. I still feel dirty watching this shit, my recommended will be clogged with shit by this retard and I want to emphasize for the feds and Brazilians watching my every move that I'm doing this exclusively for the sake of exposing people to his retardation.
CONMOCIÓN MUNDIAL: Un gringo que se cree especial creó un canal en español
(Global Commotion: A gringo that believes himself special made a Spanish speaking channel)
He calls himself
gringo (somewhat pejorative term originally to refer to Americans but really used for any English speaker) This video is just an introduction.
His Spanish is rough but he doesn't talk it the way most English speakers do (struggling with vowel reduction or the r sound). He does sound stunted and has little moments when he tries to sound Argentinian (like calling the audience
pipis a term of affection,
sho instead of
yo for first person singular,
boludo which means fool or doofus,
joda being fuck), he even asks if he is expressing himself correctly (ex. he says 'dia a dia', in the context to the idiom 'living day by day' and asks if Spanish speakers say that). Yes, we do moron, I'm sure most languages on Earth have this literal phrase or at least will understand it. Admits being disconnected from the reality of most Argentinians (no shit bitch, you live in bougieland while most of the country is collapsing). He is very self-conscious about how he speaks Spanish. He unironically sounds more Argentinian if you play the videos at 1.5 (Argentos speak faster than other Latinos and George speaks way too slow). I want to applaud the effort but I also want to brand the Star of David on his ugly mug.
The entire point of the channel is for him to explain Argentina to Argentinians. Gringosplaining. He apparently thinks Spanish speakers can't pronounce his first name, which is pretty laughable. He is expecting and encourages people to rag on him for being a first worlder. Asks for questions, I was tempted to ask him what happened to those poor joeys he molested.
Los carpinchos INVADEN NORDELTA, y yo la invadí también
(The capybaras INVADE NORDELTA, and so I did)
Kind of goes without saying but
carpincho is a very Argentinian way of saying capybara. This video is about a rather amusing story that happened 4 years ago about a herd of capybaras squatting in Nordelta, a gated community built in what is unmistakenly their habitat.
An ambulance passes by when George Angelos Ganitis is recording. Epic Porteño Moment. His Spanish is better, more Argentinian-like but I'm playing this at 1.5. He call the carpinchos comrades, Che Carpincho. He uses a rather common Spanish speaking expression that translates to 'I don't know if the capybaras are communists but I've no doubts'.
Nordelta is controversial because it is an urban development in the Paraná wetlands that benefits nobody but the residents, hence a lot of people saw the carpincho invasion as ironic. George Angelos Ganitis has been to Nordelta and has the basic commie take that gated communities don't make sense because he grew up in the 'burbs of Australia and had never been to a gated community. He says that he went to Nordelta to accompany a female friend of his that's a health professional. He says that Nordelta is trying to be Miami or LA, which anyone with fucking eyes can tell you is the fucking point. George Angelos Ganitis starts to make fun of the gated community look (polos, golf pants, dyed blondes) but daddy roach's look is true proletariat couture. The only thing he says where he has a point is that Nordelta and places like it reek of nouveau riche, which again you can see with your own fucking eyes. What I want to bring up is that he brings up good taste as
cheto which is just a way to call someone a snob because they have money regardless of taste. Makes you think of someone.
He hammers down that he feels out of place near gated communities. He says that while at university in San Isidro he had to visit classmates living in mansions and he felt uncomfortable. You just have to wonder how they felt about having George Angelos Ganitis under their roof near their joeys.
¿Es realmente mucho mejor vivir en un país desarrollado que en Latinoamérica?
(Is it really better to live in a developed country than in Latin America?)
The thumbnail for this one is a reference to the meme 'Saquenme de Latinoamerica' (Get me out of Latin America), a expression of frustration yet acceptance of having to live south of Rio Grande.
George Angelos Ganitis knows what he will say will be controversial but you should be used to it anyway and appreciate an Aussie failson lecturing you about how great you have it. I take it back, his Spanish is still shit.
His first controversial opinion is that the Latin American middle class lives the same than the first world middle class. His argument is that wages may be higher in the first world but so are the prices. As someone with first account experience I can say he is full of shit.
1) He says that wages may be higher in the first world but so are the prices. WRONG. Depending in the areas you move, most basic products' prices have risen and treaties have killed produce operations. What Americans have been experiencing about eggs, that has been a feature for ages almost everywhere else.
2) He says houses are cheaper because they are more 'covered', read fenced and with a tin roof. WRONG. You would need to save your wages for 19 years to buy a house in Argentina assuming you were to save every penny for this end. In reality, the pessimistic estimates place it over a century.
3) Everything that isn't better is the same. His example is that the house of a middle class professional looks the same in Argentina or Australia, that utilities and basic products are valued the same and equate to a similar quality of life. George Angelos Ganitis is fucking wrong. I think his point is equating the space the house occupies with socioeconomic class which is also fucking wrong because your average Aussie 'burb house makes the average Argenta house look like shed. You know how much money in USD you have to spend to get around in down under in public transport? 26.65 USD. In Buenos Aires you can get around for less than a dollar. That must mean that IF YOU GET PAID IN DOLLARS YOU ARE A KING AND IF NOT YOU GET FUCKED YOU OBTUSE MORON. Aussies make three times in a week what Argentinians make in a month you eejit. No wonder you are commie, you probably can't count pass the age of consent.
4) He says the only difference is the added price for luxury goods and travel. Here we have the basic dilemma of 'I was a doctor in my country', because a common meme in Latam is that unskilled labour in the first world gets compensated better than professionals that stay. I feel the fact that half of Mexico's population exists in hiding doing jobs no one wants to do for no benefits and that the true professional American elite has gentrified Mexico City kind of proves George Angelos Ganitis has no point here.
I think he gets off the idea of bragging he lives better in Argentina than the average Argentinian. 'I live a thousand times better here than how I did in Australia' isn't the own against capitalism you think it is George Angelos Ganitis.
FUI A LA FINAL DEL MUNDIAL SUB-20 EN LA PLATA (URUGUAY CAMPEÓN)
I went to the U-20 World Cup Final in La Plata (Uruguay Champion)
George Angelos Ganitis being an
hincha of Deportivo Sporting gives me the same energy as smartschoolboy9 being a fan of MK Dons. Ha ha, Uruguay.
His first time in La Plata (wish I was back there to stomp his neck) and he visited the Natural Sciences Museum. Is almost endearing how simple his compliments for the models and skeletons are. He disses the Diego Armando Maradona, says it was his first FIFA match (I think he means first live football match or national teams match). He saw a Israel flag and commented on it. George Angelos Ganitis, I'll force my cane that doesn't exist up your anus and you tell me if it hurts. He comments on the match itself, very boring.
I saved the two more political videos for a follow-up because this is already too long and I can feel my brainrotting and making me Uruguayan. But I was expecting him to actually explain Argentinian things and instead I got the most insipid quasi-vlog with leftie undertones possible. I was expecting him to talk about HAGOV or explain crazy Argento shit like that time some guy stole Perón's hands, AY NOT DEAD, Solari Parravicini's Gray Man and its revolutionary undertones or the crackpot theory that the tragedy of Cromañon was a Jewish ritual. But no, even at being a mateboo George Angelos Ganitis fails.
