@brivael Completamente de acuerdo. Muy bien explicado. El wokismo es el peor virus que ha llegado a la humanidad

[Brivael Le Pogam @brivael]

Tu confonds deux choses, et c'est exactement le piège que la French Theory a tendu.

Liberté, égalité, fraternité — égalité *de droits*, égalité *devant la loi*, égalité *de dignité*. C'est la promesse républicaine, et personne ici ne l'attaque.

Le wokisme, ce n'est pas ça. C'est l'égalitarisme des résultats. Et l'égalitarisme des résultats, contrairement à l'égalité des droits, n'est pas un élargissement de la liberté — c'est sa négation.

Quelques exemples concrets :

— San Francisco supprime les classes de maths avancées au collège pour "réduire les inégalités". Résultat : les écarts entre élèves explosent, les familles aisées prennent des cours privés, les pauvres se font enterrer. L'égalitarisme a creusé l'inégalité.

— Les politiques de discrimination positive à Harvard : étudiants admis avec des scores très en dessous de leurs camarades, taux d'échec dispropportionné, sentiment d'imposture, ressentiment généralisé. On a saboté ceux qu'on voulait aider.

— L'aide humanitaire qui distribue du riz gratuit pendant 30 ans en Afrique : effondrement des filières agricoles locales, dépendance institutionnalisée. Donner un poisson, c'est empêcher d'apprendre à pêcher.

Le wokisme ne détruit pas l'humanité dans le sens dramatique. Il fait pire : il dessert systématiquement ceux qu'il prétend protéger, et il génère du ressentiment des deux côtés — ceux qu'on infantilise et ceux qu'on culpabilise.

La fraternité républicaine dit : tu es mon égal, donc je te traite en adulte capable.
Le wokisme dit : tu es ma victime, donc je dois te protéger de toi-même.

L'un élève. L'autre infantilise. Ce n'est pas la même chose, et confondre les deux est exactement le tour de passe-passe qu'on dénonce.

@LucreciaL_L Creo que ese es el principal problema. Oposición decente no existe.

I saw 16 lemons for a $1 in the agro mercados here in El Salvador. We run a lemon farm (it’s just one manzana) but full production. After paying the caretaker we’re in the red $100 a month selling lemons.
The gov is helping lower prices for locals. The min wage isn’t much so 16 lemons for a dollar goes a long way.
But it does affect the farmers. So what if the farmers stopped growing just lemons, coffee, and sugarcane?
What if they grew more profitable organic certified products to ship around the world? What if they opened up a new market? Growing select medicinal plants to sell to supplement companies? Perfume brands?
I think Salvadoran farmers have to adapt or become like blockbuster.
Bankrupt.
It’s interesting and I don’t have all the answers. Just me thinking out loud.

🇸🇻🇫🇷Le Salvador ne s’est pas contenté de tourner la page de la violence : il écrit un nouveau chapitre.

Aujourd'hui, l'argent sert à soigner et à construire l'avenir : écoles rénovées, villes modernisées, bourses pour ceux qui n’avaient aucun espoir.

On leur disait que le changement était impossible sans l’approbation de certains milieux, mais les résultats sont là. La sécurité n'était que la première étape, le socle indispensable. Car sans paix, aucun investissement n'a de sens.
On ne peut pas demander à une société de prospérer quand 1 % de la population la tient en otage. En neutralisant la criminalité, le gouvernement a libéré le potentiel économique du pays.

C’est un modèle de bon sens : restaurer l’ordre pour permettre à la vie de reprendre ses droits.

C’est une véritable leçon pour l’Occident : la prospérité commence là où l’impunité s’arrête.

Reflections on Life in El Salvador:
A Journey of Mindset and Growth

My wife and I have been living in El Salvador for roughly 18 months now. During this time, we have largely kept to ourselves and haven’t engaged much with the expat community, not out of any negativity, but simply because our lives are very busy. When we arrived, we carried a certain mindset, and over time, that mindset has evolved into something healthier and stronger, shaped by our experiences here.

We’ve observed many expats come and go, often for reasons that stem from the challenges of adjusting to a new culture, language, and environment. Some arrived expecting El Salvador to fully embrace Bitcoin and provide a seamless integration of this technology into daily life. Others became frustrated with the heat, humidity, traffic, lack of infrastructure, or what they perceived as imperfections in the country’s progress. Complaining about these things is understandable, but it’s ultimately counterproductive. If you constantly focus on what’s lacking, that approach can seep into all aspects of life, making true happiness elusive. It becomes a habit of thought that is difficult to break.

El Salvador is a country full of positive momentum. For those who understand Bitcoin and the idea of a long-term vision, the country offers immense opportunities for everyone. Embracing this requires a shift in mindset: patience, gratitude, and the ability to see beyond immediate inconveniences. No one else can do this for you. It is your personal responsibility to do this.

There is so much good happening here. The warmth and respect of the Salvadoran people, for example, is striking. Compare this to the average neighborhood in the U.S., where meaningful connections with neighbors are rare. Traveling back to Florida once a month allows us to juxtapose the experiences: the U.S. may offer comfort, but life in El Salvador is spiritually richer and more fulfilling. Even mundane encounters, like being greeted with a smiling face and a sincere “bienvenidos” at the airport, reinforce the human connection that permeates daily life here.

One of the most profound lessons I’ve learned is the transformative power of shifting perspective, seeing challenges not just as obstacles, but as opportunities to focus beyond ourselves. In our community where we live, we often see elderly men and women walking the steep hills in the heat and sum to get to work. At first, I barely noticed them, absorbed in my own perceived challenges. It wasn’t until my wife said one day, “Stop the car and offer a ride to this señora” that I realized how much my perspective had been limited. That single act opened my eyes. Once we start looking outward, we begin to see where we can make small, meaningful differences in the lives of those around us. Now, whenever we leave or return to our neighborhood, we offer rides to anyone who looks like they might need one. These gestures may seem minor. They certainly won’t solve global problems. What they do is much more important - they ground the soul, cultivate empathy, and lay the foundation for a more purposeful and fulfilling life. True growth often begins with simple acts of care for others. And this is just the beginning. This is where the journey on a new path begins, not where it ends.

From my experience, the most important lesson in life is that nothing meaningful comes easy. The difficulties we encounter are not obstacles, they are the very source of growth. Embracing life with this mindset allows us to see the richness and potential in every experience, rather than being trapped by complaints or short-term thinking. It sounds simple but it is not easy to do.

El Salvador, with all its imperfections, offers a unique opportunity to cultivate patience, gratitude, and perspective. For those willing to adopt this mindset, the rewards are profound - a deeper connection to community, a healthier and more fulfilling way of life, and the chance to witness the growth of a nation that will continue to become the greatest model for the world in human history.

If you make the decision to move to El Salvador, burn your boats and commit to the move. One day, your soul will thank you.

@Zovatto55 Claramentr lo que les preocupa es que el resto de países imite el modelo. Se les olvida cuál es la finalidad del Estado. Un Estado lleno de contrapesos pero corrupto lo unico que hizo durante años es propagar terror y muerte los ciudadanos.

🇨🇷🇺🇸 | El legendario surfista estadounidense, de 66 años, fue estrangulado y apuñalado hasta la muerte en Costa Rica; su novia de 31 años fue encontrada atada con bridas y golpeada:

Al menos dos hombres armados irrumpieron en su vivienda en Hone Creek mientras su pareja se duchaba. Los sujetos los retuvieron en una habitación a punta de pistola.

Van Dyke fue encontrado muerto bajo una cama, con una sábana cubriéndole la cara y un cuchillo al lado. Las autoridades confirmaron que presentaba múltiples heridas de arma blanca y signos de asfixia por estrangulamiento.

Su novia de 31 años, identificada como Arroyo, fue atada de manos y pies con bridas (zip-ties) y agredida físicamente. Logró sobrevivir al ataque y fue quien alertó a las autoridades tras la huida de los delincuentes.

Los sospechosos huyeron con diversos objetos de valor y el vehículo de la pareja, un Hyundai Elantra 2013.

Vi un video interesante sobre el Show de medio tiempo del Superbowl. No fue pensado como un acto politico ni cultural, mas bien como una decisión financiera. El principal patrocinador fue Appe, y esta a punto de sacar unos airpods que traducen en tiempo real... Interesante.

The most popular leader on planet earth is Nayib Bukele.

His entire agenda is predicated on enforcing law & order and arresting the criminals in his country without mercy.

He also very plainly puts his country’s people first.

Why in the hell don’t the rest of the world’s leaders just copy the Bukele model in their country?

The man has a 91% approval rating after all these years in power. The people begged him to run for an unprecedented third term.

It’s almost like he’s onto something.
