Spanish speaking countries have two options and only two
Option one: start acting like a bloc. I'm not talking about becoming one single country, or building a new empire; this is not about nobody ruling anybody
But we could have separate sovereign states that actually coordinate. Trade, capital, universities, media, movement of people...
Option two: irrelevance, permanently
Because look at what we have right now
Spain is a mid-sized member of a union where the real decisions get made in Berlin and Brussels. Spain shows up to be informed of the outcome, and keeps being treated as the holiday resort of Europe
Latin America has been in Washington's back garden for over a century and gets treated accordingly. Sometimes gently... but most often not
600 million people. The second most spoken native language on earth. The same legal tradition, the same religion, the same humour, the same way of arguing at a dinner table...
And collectively we carry less weight in the world than one country of 80 million that speaks German
That isn't bad luck but a choice we keep making every decade
Every empire that has ever dealt with us understood the thing we refuse to admit: twenty weak countries that don't talk to each other are far easier to manage than one bloc that does
Neither Brussels nor Washington wants this to happen
That should tell you enough about whether it's a good idea
@santicalvicidad Muchas felicidades @santicalvicidad, que Dios te bendiga y cuide, para seguir dándole a los hierros, cagandote en el FF y dando liturgia madridista en esta selva llamada Twitter RM
Biggest mistake you can make is thinking the mind and body are separate things…
When you drastically change your physique (way leaner and stronger);
You don’t just get perceived differently…
You perceive yourself differently;
Which means your energy and frequency change.
