Sumario:This article analyzes the effects of the triple pandemic fracking on the subjectivities of youth from popular sectors. It argues that these effects contributed to the emergence of a youth temperament critical of politics, the economy and the “state of the State” that is born from the concrete experiences that the subjects elaborate in their daily lives and that we will call “betterism”. At the same time, we ask ourselves about the political capitalization of this process by the right-wing forces, particularly in the current juncture by the figure of Javier Milei of the party La Libertad Avanza (LLA). Thus, through the analysis of qualitative materials -focus groups, biographical interviews, participant observations in political events, survey of social networks-, we investigate the youth structure of reception of the interpellation of the libertarian discourse.
