Letters to Leocadio the Gaucho Lion: #2
Translations provided by the Avenger; both letters were written in Spanish.
Dear Leocadio:
As you already know, Argentina is an unholy mess to this day. Why? Our infamous reputation in football (or what Americans call, soccer). Every time we have a football match, we got hooligans attacking each other left and right! And when it comes to international sporting events like FIFA, it's a disaster waiting at home. Americans say we turn our country into a war zone when we lose and do the same when we win. To be honest, they're not far from the truth on that one. Because of this, we have people emmigrating to countries from the United States of America to Italy. Spain also does quite an excellent job luring a nice chunk of our immigrants too. Have you seen some of the immigration ads that some of the embassies in Buenos Aires post to lure our people permanently? They mention our infamous reputations in football riots as the reason why our people should immigrate overseas to contribute to their countries full-time.
From intelligent workers to certified technicians, our people are leaving Argentina in droves just to get away from all of our drama. When it comes to large families and children, they're gone, too, where they will spend their futures contributing to the countries they live in forever, where they will have family there, too. Our inflation due to poor financial policies in our government is making this worse, but then again, I doubt we have any intelligent people in our government these days. Heck! Most of our Forsythians have left, too! That is how incompetent our politicians are!
I feel like the only way Argentina is ever going to get better is when our government collapses and the Americans bail us out by turning us into their corporate colony state. Knowing your American parallel, he is loaded to take on whatever opportunity comes his way, and he will invest in them very well for his country. If that's what he does to Argentina, so be it. Maybe it's what we deserved for not understanding that there's life beyond football.
So now, I ask you a very tough question. How do you deal with our football drama and the fact that many of our people just want to live overseas to avoid whatever problems Argentina is drowning in?
Fernando Hernandez, age 22, maned wolf
Santa Rosa, La Pampa, Argentina
P.S.: Prices are falling in La Pampa due to lack of tourism and decreased economic activity. When our government collapses due to their stupidity, I will vote you in as our President to help us rebuild Argentina and hope we get lots of American tourists, especially in La Pampa. We got nice big open fields, and surprisingly, a resilient wine industry here, which I'm sure the tourists will love.
Leocadio's response:
Dear Fernando:
I'm not surprised you have proposed to vote for me; given the history of how my other parallels have been heads of state, I felt it wasn't a question of if, but when, that was going to happen to me. So I do plan to run in the next election. However, we're a long ways away from that.
How do I deal with the football drama? Well, for one thing, I stay far, far away from where the matches are being held. The television and radio networks also frequently ask me to make PSAs telling people to get their act together. These continue even to this day in spite of the tragedy of CNG killing 7 million people over the rioting that was going on, even though they came back to life because CNG had wrongly killed innocent people just because they were fans of the two teams that always play the Superclásico: Boca Juniors and River Plate. Don't forget, back in 2018, the rioting got so out of control that the game was postponed and later played over 6,000 miles away...in Spain!
As I said in a previous letter to somebody, "Even though I'm sad to see so many depart Argentina, the Forsythians especially (not counting those still with us because of the ones who are G-52s), it doesn't surprise me that the Superclásico is one such reason everybody's leaving us forever. In the times I have visited the United States, however, I told any group of Argentine immigrants whom I just happen to run into that while I was sad to see them go, at the same time I want everybody, and I do mean, everybody, to live the best life that they can live. If the best life you can live is a life in the United States, then by all means, go for it!" That's exactly what these people are doing by fleeing us forever, and let's be honest; there is only one nation that truly it gets it right, and it is the United States of America. The miracle is that our population, after you factor in the 7 million who came back to life, is still at roughly 45 million people.
I am praying that the day of us losing our status as a nation and becoming an American corporate colony state (and thus, the property of them) never happens, but I wouldn't be surprised if it does. Leo is highly knowledegable, and he has the greatest team of supporters to help him out. The entire world looks to him (and in some cases, idolizes him) for the job he's done; he has done more to better the country in just half a term of being President than all of his predecessors put together!
I hope that helps; if I missed anything, feel free to write back to me and let me know what I missed. Pray for me also; the stress over the 2022 World Cup has led my blood pressure to a dangerously high level. I am glad the fans are behaving themselves, especially after Diamond Knight, our G-52 representing us, convinced them of how to behave by showing them how the Japanese behave. They're out of the contest, but the world considers them the real winners of the Cup. Sometimes a moral victory is more valuable than an actual victory. Our players (and to an extent, the Brazilian player, Neymar) can't see beyond the trophy; they think that if they don't win it, it's the end of the world, or at least the end of their lives.
Have a blessed, abuse-free and peaceful day now.
Respectfully yours,
Leocadio Villanueva, a.k.a. Leocadio the Gaucho Lion

Zax: I made it clear to Cripto that whatever happens in Argentina, is for you and the rest of the Argentinean heroes to deal with. Your country has been given infinite second chances to get themselves together and if they fail to do that, we will not intervene. Cripto is an American G-52, therefore our country goes first for him.
Juno: Sorry guys but we Americans don't want to be part of your soccer drama. However Leocadio, the counselor Cripto has seen back in Wildcat City can help you too.
Chuong: Argentina has made it to the finals. I hope their fans don't go bonkers. Sorry Leocadio, but this is on you and the Argentine heroes to handle. I can't do anything since I serve Luong for Vietnam, which goes first for me.
Shadow Hunter: Sorry Diamond Knight but you're on your own with Leocadio and the Argentines on this one. I don't know if the C.I.D.F. wants to be involved in this or not.

Super C: Cripto's been up to his eyeballs in work working for the white kitten (Zanta), and so that's why he hasn't been present at the World Cup.
*Cripto is present now, so he nods to confirm this.*
Leocadio: Do you have a therapist?
Cripto: I do. Dr. Millard Dillons. I still talk to him on a regular basis. Ultimately he helped determine that I am on the spectrum. Under the old system, I would have Asperger's syndrome. However, nobody uses that term anymore. Now it's all just ASD (autism spectrum disorder). But I do have it.
Marching Wonder: *me* Coincidentally, my friend Blue has also been talking to that same guy.
Leocadio: I may seek advice from him, then.
Super C: As for the C.I.D.F., their mission is to keep law and order universally, so according to what my dad (Prius) told me, they will still get involved.
*Cripto hands Leocadio a card with the contact information on it for Dr. Dillions.*
Leo: You're probably better off being in Eterna as it is, but we've gone to Japan because we're not talking any chances.
Cripto: I would have done the same thing. I have been keeping up with the tournament, though, so I did hear the news that you got another parallel.
Leo: Yes, I did.

Leo: Yes, I did.
Diamond Knight: Super C, I hope your dad and the C.I.D.F. are ready to witness graphic violence and anarchy if things go downhill in my country. *To Cripto* You have it good where you'll never have to worry about a fraction of what I deal with daily in your country.
Shadow Hunter: Don't tell us what you and Leocadio have seen. We already got an idea about this.
Carbon Cat: We Uruguayans will continue to welcome Argentine refugees over this. I'll help them in my country because I'm not going to Argentina when football riots happen. As Juno stated, I don't want to deal with football riots in Argentina.
Chuong: Japan is fun and amazing, Cripto! Great country too!

Chuong: Japan is fun and amazing, Cripto! Great country too!
Super C: We are prepared. Believe me, we have witnessed way worse than this in other parts of the universe. It's nothing we cannot handle, even though we may be in for years of deprogramming and therapy afterwards. If you're in the C.I.D.F., you must be willing to put your life on the line for the world, no matter what.
Cripto: That's good; I'd rather talk to sane people. Japan has exactly that, even if I can't expose my eyes to any of their pop culture.
Ryo: I'm not offended by that; occasionally I write to our television networks and tell them to clean up what is on TV, especially for the sake of any children watching. I need to rethink my whole opinion of preaching that my nation is the most unbiblical in the world. 85% of what's on our TVs wouldn't fly in your country, or even in Europe, and that's saying something.
Leonce: Europe has had some pretty dirty shows of their own that wouldn't fly by American standards also. The dirty content is there for those who seek it. As G-52s, we cannot seek it.
Cripto: Contrary to what people my think, I don't actually watch a lot of TV.

Cripto: Contrary to what people my think, I don't actually watch a lot of TV.
Alpha: Ooooh Denmark's got some dirty content on TV, but a lot of that fly over our heads. We just email them our complaints, shrug, and move on. I don't think Denmark has anything worth losing one's mind over these days so I don't think Lenarth has anything to worry about. We don't lose our mind over innuendo because they're very subtle and we let them slide. We're known to be a lax country too, in terms of our personalities, generally speaking. *To Cripto* You might like Denmark, but don't expect much sun there. The average day in Denmark is densely cloudy, meaning heavy rain or snow later. Though Danes don't care about padding, wearing slip-resistant shoes is strongly encouraged outside.
Chuong: Germany does quite a decent job in filtering out dirty content on their TV and video games but the laws on that have gotten a bit more lax due to complaints about how such laws can be abused to promote censorship in Germany, which critics will say goes back to the Nazi days. Korea does a decent job in filtering dirty content out of TV too.

Cripto: I've been to Denmark before, either for festivals or when my rock band was touring there, so I have an idea of what to expect in terms of the weather. It was cold last time our tour stopped there, but rather bizarrely, it didn't rain until after we left.
Super C: Would you say then, Moon Moon, that those arguments promoting censorship in Germany were similar or identical to the problem Australia was having?
