No es cierto que su hilo no emita juicios de valor. Los emite constantemente. Nadie discute que la «independencia» sea un hecho histórico. Lo que discutí fue precisamente la valoración que usted hace de ese hecho.
 Su hilo no se limita a decir que ocurrió. Afirma que «rompieron el imperio español», «plantaron la semilla de la libertad en América del Sur», «cambiaron el mapa del mundo» y presenta a esa generación como transformadora. Todo eso ya no son hechos desnudos, sino interpretaciones y juicios de valor.
 Un hecho objetivo es que la inmensa mayoría de los venezolanos ni siquiera advierte que emite un juicio de valor automático cada vez que se refiere a la «independencia». Está culturalmente programada para asumirla por defecto como un acontecimiento glorioso y venerable. Tan profundamente incorporado está ese presupuesto que deja de percibirse como una interpretación.
 Por eso, cuando uno señala ese punto ciego, muchos descubren con sorpresa que jamás habían considerado la posibilidad de que la «independencia» pudiera ser objeto de una valoración histórica distinta.
 El verdadero debate no es si ocurrió —eso nadie lo niega—, sino qué significó realmente para Venezuela. Como dije, considero que aquella generación inauguró la larga fractura política, cultural e institucional que todavía padecemos.
 Esa etapa fundacional de la república permanece prácticamente intocable porque fuimos educados dentro de una parafernalia simbólica de culto bolivariano y de leyenda negra antiespañola. Así terminamos convirtiéndonos, sin advertirlo, en portadores y transmisores de ese relato. Somos instrumentos pedagógicos inconscientes de una propaganda antihispánica mantenida durante más de dos siglos.
 Ninguna interpretación histórica de Venezuela puede considerarse intelectualmente seria mientras no incorpore este problema a su análisis.

Rare old clip

London Mayor Sadiq Khan and UK Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood, together in Pakistan years ago long before they rose to power.

It looks as if they were carefully hand-picked and groomed from a young age to lead Britain in a very specific direction. This has all the hallmarks of long-term, well-funded planning the quiet Muslim Brotherhood-style takeover of Britain from within. And now, with both in senior positions, Britain is paying the price.

Jewish citizens live in fear. Ordinary Brits are afraid to speak their minds. Parents are scared to let their daughters walk alone at night.

This wasn’t an accident. What do you think, was this planned?

Argentina’s behavioral crisis in the World Cup final has brought to light traits many of us in Latin America have internalized and that we need to come to terms with.

In many countries, emotional self-control and the ability to admit mistakes are seen as virtues. A behavioral problem in parts of Latin America is that there are social circles where the opposite is often celebrated.

This is the idea that someone who remains in control of their emotions is a coward or, depending on the situation, a traitor.

If someone offends you, your family, your team, the reaction that is celebrated in these circles is not restraint but flipping the table. The more berserk you go, the more you show that you care. That is a harmful value to hold, and also, one that many of us once shared. I certainly had it internalized when I left Chile 20+ years ago. In fact, I’ve spent much of my adult life trying to unlearn what I grew up believing was the socially acceptable behavior.

The second trait is an unwillingness to admit mistakes. You can always find an excuse, move the goalposts, or, once again, start a fight instead of publicly accepting that you’ve made a mistake. Admitting fault is a sign of weakness. Defending a losing position is a symbol of courage or, in sports, a test of loyalty.

Together, these two traits are behavioral dynamite. People explode because they cannot admit fault, and double down. Instead of learning from their mistakes, they become prisoners of them.

I grew up watching football with my father. When I was 10 or so, I was learning what was right and wrong from the way he interpreted the game. This included behavior both on and off the field. Only later in life did I realize that every penalty he called for, or contested, had little to do with the play itself. Whether a call was fair depended entirely on which team benefited. He was happy if his team received a nonexistent penalty or an opposing player got an undeserved red card.

These traits are among the things that pushed me away from the continent. They are certainly not exclusive to Latin America or the Southern Cone. I’ve encountered them in people all over the world. In an important sense, these are behaviors that all of us exhibit as children. What strikes me as unusual from the place I am from is having been part of social circles where these behaviors were not seen as flaws of character but as virtues to be admired, celebrated, and enforced.

These excessive forms of pride are not conducive to learning. They make it psychologically difficult to update one’s beliefs, accept responsibility, or improve. Although they become particularly visible in sports, they are by no means confined to them.

Something I am proud to have learned is to apologize quickly and often. Not because it is too difficult, but because it was like learning a new language at old age. That doesn’t mean becoming a pushover. But I’ve learned that a man who never apologizes cannot be a man of integrity, because we all make mistakes.

Argentina’s behavior on and off the field during the World Cup final was, to me, a particularly blatant expression of values that many people continue to defend. In some circles, these attitudes have become intertwined with ideas of national identity and loyalty. Yet they are shackles that ultimately limit our development, not because they make us lose a football match, but because they make it harder for us to learn from our mistakes.

The right thing to do now is the least likely: offer an honest apology. If my interpretation is even partially correct, we are more likely to see the opposite. Never back down. Never apologize. Never control your emotions. There is such a thing as having the wrong values. I hope that one day we can do better.

BREAKING:

The Islamic regime in Iran just hanged 19-year-old Erfan Esfandiari and 23-year-old Gol Mohammad Mohammadi.

For taking part in the anti-regime protest in January, they were hanged secretly at dawn in Dastgerd Prison in Isfahan.

Murdering 40 000 anti-regime protesters in just two days wasn’t enough for the Mullah regime. They still want to kill more protesters.

During her 482 days of captivity, Hamas terrorists in Gaza sexually abused her almost every day.

They broke her ribs and starved her.

While held hostage in Gaza, she attempted suicide three times simply because she was Jewish.

Arbel says, "I tried to take my own life three times. I felt I couldn't go on. There were moments when I felt that was the only way out."

This is the harrowing experience of Arbel Yehud, an Israeli woman who was held hostage.

She is truly an extraordinarily brave woman. After surviving 482 days of hell, she asked how long it would take before she could fight again.

"I want to fight for Israel. I want to repay my debt to Israel."

A salute to this brave woman. She is an inspiration to the millions of peace-loving people fighting against radical Islamic terrorism.
