Yani, acompañé a mi padre durante sus diez años de presidencia y mi madre fue primera dama .Si hay algo que conocemos muy bien, es el protocolo.
El negro es una tradición para determinadas audiencias formales con el Papa dentro del Vaticano , no una obligación universal. Hoy tuvimos el honor de asistir a un evento público, en un lugar abierto y colmado de fieles que acompañaron al Santo Padre, sin distinción de vestimenta ni colores. Estar ubicadas un poco más adelante no debería marcar la diferencia con el resto de los concurrentes.
Al margen te aclaro, que la invitación no exigía ningún color en especial, pero por respeto algunas prendas ajustadas no deberían usarse, como asi tampoco mangas cortas.
Mi madre y yo vestimos de beige, como en otros encuentros con Papas anteriores. Cuando correspondió vestir de negro, y el protocolo lo exigía lo hicimos.
No confundamos desconocimiento con incumplimiento. Nosotras respetamos, antes de cuestionarlo, convendría informarte.
Estaría bueno, que el privilegio que ambas tuvimos de estar un poco mas cerca del Papa, sirva para agradecer , en momentos donde la crítica no tiene lugar.

I recently spent 40 days and 40 nights in Argentina including several weeks in CABA and I didn’t find any restaurants to be expensive. Even the tomahawk steaks weren’t a tourist trap.
Periodista : por que vinieron a ver al papa
Señora 1 : yo vine por mi nieto discapacitado que no pudo venir
Señora 2 : PARA QUE NO CAIGAMOS EN EL COMUNISMO 🗣
Cuando ser justo y honrado tenga un precio, páguenlo. Cuando perdonar parezca una derrota, perdonen. Cuando todos les digan que piensen primero en ustedes mismos, no tengan miedo de hacerse los últimos; sean capaces de entregar tiempo, dinero, comodidad y proyectos para servir a los demás. Que quien los mire pueda preguntarse: “¿Por qué vive así? ¿De dónde saca esta libertad? ¿Por qué se aman tanto?”. #ViajeApostólico #Uruguay
Si Emocionante @MariaCorinaYA nombró uno por uno los presos políticos con nombre y apellido algo que les cuesta mucho acá en Argentina. Ella lo hizo , primero por que es única y segundo por algo es premio nobel de la paz.
Nombró a Germán Giuliani y eso es humanidad. Hoy lloro de la emoción y la gratitud , rePosteate esta!!!
The Western left is driving civilization into a wall. Not out of malice. Out of comfort.
To understand how we got here, you have to go back to one man: Antonio Gramsci.
Gramsci was an Italian communist imprisoned by Mussolini. From his cell, he understood something Marx had missed: in the West, the revolution would never come from the factories. Workers were too attached to their culture, their religion, their family, their nation. To take power, you first had to take the culture. Schools, universities, media, art. He called it cultural hegemony. Win the minds before you win the ballot box.
Decades later, the left applied the method to the letter. What a German activist would later call the long march through the institutions.
But one intellectual weapon was still missing. It came from France.
In the 1970s, a generation of French thinkers, Foucault, Derrida, Deleuze, Lyotard, produced something both fascinating and toxic. Everything is a social construct. All truth is a power relationship. Grand narratives are dead. Reason itself is suspect.
It was brilliant. It was also a philosophy of decadence. A civilization that produces intellectuals whose job is to prove it has no value is a civilization that has begun to dissolve.
These ideas crossed the Atlantic. They were rebranded as French Theory on American campuses. And they mutated.
That mutation is wokism.
Wokism is deconstruction applied to everything. The world is no longer divided between true and false, but between oppressors and oppressed. Merit becomes privilege. Science becomes opinion. The West becomes the universal culprit. And anyone who objects is silenced.
This is where comfort comes in. These ideas cost nothing to the people who hold them. The tenured professor, the downtown executive, the Parisian columnist never bear the consequences of what they defend. They are luxury beliefs. You buy a clean conscience for free, and someone else pays the bill.
But an ideology of deconstruction can't build anything. It needs an electoral base. The working class had already left for the right. So the left went looking for a new people.
It found one in its alliance with political Islam.
In France, it has become visible. According to Ifop, 69% of Muslim voters backed Mélenchon in the first round of the 2022 presidential election. An openly embraced electoral strategy, built on indulgence toward Islamism in the name of fighting Islamophobia.
It's the most absurd alliance in political history. On one side, a left that defends feminism, LGBT rights, secularism and sexual freedom. On the other, an ideology that rejects every one of those values. They share only one thing: hatred of the West as it is.
How does it end?
History has already answered. In 1979, in Iran, the Iranian left, communists and Marxists included, allied with the Islamists to overthrow the Shah. They thought they were using Khomeini. A few years later, they were imprisoned, exiled or executed. The Islamists had used the left as a stepping stone, then eliminated it.
That's the blind spot of this whole structure. In an alliance between an ideology that doubts everything and an ideology that doubts nothing, the one that doubts nothing always wins.
The first victims of Islamism won't be conservatives. They'll be free women, gay people, atheists, artists, intellectuals. Exactly the people the left claims to protect.
They are sawing off the branch they're sitting on. And they don't even realize it.
Because comfort makes you blind. When you've never known scarcity, you think freedom is a natural state. It isn't. It was built, century after century, by a civilization that believed in reason, in truth, and in itself.
Deconstructing that civilization means deconstructing the only conditions under which the left itself can exist.
After reading Jung, one idea stands out to me:
Becoming yourself often requires disappointing the version of you that everyone else has grown comfortable with.
Porque los seres humanos, sin importar cuántos siglos pasen, somos los mismos y estamos atormentados por las mismas cosas. Por eso es tan importante leer los clásicos, para entender que el mundo no empieza ni acaba con nosotros.
