"Yo no me meto en la política"
Pero la política sí se mete en tu salario, en tu trabajo, en tu salud, en tu educación y hasta en las calles por donde caminas.

Todo es política, hasta la indiferencia.

Un hito es la victoria de @solenu
No solamente es la oposición, no es un sacerdote, no es un conductor de TV o un DJ, es el mejor perfil profesional con la más alta formación que ocupará un cargo de gobierno en la historia política de nuestro país 👏🏽

Hey @grok, concise, no spin.

Did Israel have Hamas’s leaked 40-page October 7 battle blueprint over a year in advance, laying out the invasion point by point, with Hamas later executing it with shocking precision?

Yes or no.

🇦🇷🇵🇾Los argentinos están teniendo una crisis nacional porque sacaron 393 en las pruebas PISA y dicen que cayeron al subdesarrollo.
Miren la misma tabla.
Paraguay sacó 355.

Treinta y ocho puntos abajo de Argentina.
Abajo de El Salvador.
Abajo de Camboya.
Abajo de Palestina y Kosovo.
Estamos en el fondo del planeta, compitiendo con Zambia y Kurdistán.
Pero acá nadie pide emergencia nacional.

La realidad que ningún ministro te va a mostrar:
85% de los chicos paraguayos de 15 años no pueden resolver un problema matemático básico.
7 de cada 10 no entienden lo que leen.
Y el porcentaje de alumnos en niveles de excelencia es literalmente CERO.

En Paraguay nos llenamos la boca hablando de "milagro económico", Grado de Inversión y traer plantas de chips o inteligencia artificial.
Con qué ingenieros? Con qué técnicos? Con qué científicos?

No podemos ser un polo tecnológico si 9 de cada 10 jóvenes no saben hacer una regla de tres.
El 90% del presupuesto del MEC se va en salarios, mientras se caen los techos de las escuelas públicas.

El atraso no es solo el número. El atraso es no sentir vergüenza.

This paper answers why psychopaths keep ending up as CEOs and politicians.

Researchers mapping out the mechanics of "successful psychopathy" found that corporate capitalism and modern political selection systems are not neutral.

They are hyper-efficient filtering machines.

And they are specifically optimized to select for the exact traits normal people find repulsive.

Normal leaders are constrained by empathy, guilt, and long-term risk aversion. They hesitate when a decision hurts people. They feel the weight of collateral damage.

Psychopaths don’t have an emotional brake pedal.

When a company or a political party needs someone to ruthlessly slash budgets, fire thousands of people, bluff through a crisis, or project absolute, unshakeable confidence, normal candidates stutter.

Psychopaths step right up.

Their superficial charm, pathological fearlessness, and total lack of remorse look identical to "strong leadership" during an interview or a campaign.

They weaponize corporate chaos. While everyone else is panicking, they ruthlessly manipulate the narrative, step over their peers, and take credit for the wins.

They weaponize charisma to dazzle the board or the voters, and hide their emptiness behind a mask of high performance.

The system rewards the ruthlessness, promotes them to the top, and punishes anyone who tries to slow them down with ethics.

The researchers call it a feedback loop of structural decay.

Corporations and governments built an environment where being entirely devoid of a conscience isn't a disqualifier.

It’s a competitive advantage.

They are not invincible.

They never were.

The invincibility was always partly theater, maintained by the willingness of enough people to act as though it were real.

The aircraft carriers are real. The sanctions are real. The capacity to destabilize, to starve, to bomb, to fund opposition, to manipulate elections, all of it is real, and it causes real suffering, and no one should be naive about the cost of resistance.

But invincibility? The idea that resistance is futile, that the outcome is predetermined, that a small country or a poor people cannot outlast a superpower's will?

Vietnam answered that.
Cuba answered that.
Iran answered that.

The answer keeps getting given and keeps being ignored, because the machinery of empire needs you to believe in the invincibility more than it needs any particular military victory.

Fear is cheaper than occupation.

The day you stop being afraid is more dangerous to them than any weapon.

That is why so much energy, the think tanks, the media, the sanctions, the color revolutions, the endless theater of consequences, is directed not at your military capacity.

It is directed at your psychology.

They need you to believe you cannot win.

We won.

Stop believing them.

Ver el cap. 6 de #CienAñosDeSoledad duele porque NO es ficción. Recordé a @MariaFdaCabal diciendo que la Masacre de las Bananeras es un "mito comunista". La historia no se borra: el Estado masacró a su pueblo por defender una multinacional así ella diga lo contrario.

Una de las mentiras más repetidas es que la exploración de gas en Médanos del Chaco afectaría solo una “pequeña parte” del parque.

Con Consenso cruzamos datos oficiales y encontramos que las concesiones ocuparían el 70% del área protegida. Todo lo que está en amarillo.

Police DO NOT prevent crime; they respond to it. Crime is prevented by higher wages, guaranteed health care, food security, high-quality child care, housing, good schools, and addiction treatment.

[Assal Rad @AssalRad]

Israel’s crimes have been so normalized that Doctors Without Borders can post about colleagues being shot in their tents and it’s not even a news story.

Gaza was livestreamed.

That sentence should have ended the world as we know it.

A genocide, documented in real time, filmed by its victims, uploaded from phones in rubble, available to anyone on Earth with an internet connection, watched by hundreds of millions of people while it was happening.

And the governments of the world's self-described democracies continued to supply the weapons.

And the platforms continued to suppress the content.

And the people continued to scroll.

And the weapons continued to arrive.

We live in the first era of human history where it is possible to watch, in real time, the killing of a people, to see their faces, to hear their voices, to watch the moment the building falls, and for all that visibility to produce almost nothing.

Almost nothing.

No Nuremberg.

No intervention.

Hashtags. Protests that were permitted and then ignored. A ceasefire resolution vetoed. More weapons authorized.

If visibility alone could stop power, Gaza would have stopped it.

It didn't.

Which means we need to stop telling ourselves that awareness is the same as action.

That sharing is the same as solidarity.

That witnessing, even anguished witnessing, even enraged witnessing, is, by itself, a political act.

It is not.

The empire has made peace with being watched.

It has made peace with your outrage.

It factored your outrage into the plan.

And then it dropped the bomb anyway.
