🇸🇴 Nunca vi algo así. En Somalia hoy se llenó un estadio para recibir como héroe nacional a Omar Artan, el árbitro al que Estados Unidos le negó la entrada al Mundial. Increíble.
Esta arremetida de Trump contra el Papa León solo demuestra que, de haber estado Francisco 🇦🇷 vivo hoy, le habría dicho cosas muchísimo peores. Que quilombo deben tener en la cabeza unos cuantos ahora...
@yildalizia Lo hacen por su propia voluntad, eso es evidente, amenazar con cometer un genocidio rompe toda sentido de humano. Trivializar la amenaza igualando esta con el acto de protesta y resistencia, es tomar posición en favor del bando agresor.

MGS1 was released in 1998. When I mentioned "anti-nuclear and anti-war" in an interview, the media laughed at me. I was ridiculed by my peers and by the company.
Political maturity is finally admitting to yourself that the angriest, most disconcerting communist you've ever met was pretty much right about everything.
If you learn enough, stay humble enough, and pay close enough attention, eventually that's what happens. You realize that, generally speaking, the really high-octane commies have the most lucid understanding of the world out of any group out there, and the only reason this wasn't always obvious to you was because you live under a capitalist power structure which aggressively indoctrinates its populace from birth into believing that communism is No No Bad Bad.
They have the most lucid and correct understanding of capitalism. They have the most lucid and correct understanding of imperialist extraction. They have the most lucid and correct understanding of western warmongering, global power dynamics, white supremacy, institutional racism and misogyny. That's why they keep being proven right, about everything from US military actions to the fascism of the far right to the abusive nature of the so-called "moderate" liberal to the moral depravity of billionaires and the capitalist class.
If you've spent your life moving in sufficiently diverse and interesting circles, you've encountered outspoken Marxists in the past. What they said may have made you uncomfortable at the time, either because you were still too indoctrinated into the worldview of the capitalist empire or because you were still too interested in youthful frivolity to grapple with the serious subjects they were discussing. And eventually you realize that the discomfort you were experiencing is called cognitive dissonance, which is what being wrong feels like.
Maybe you got annoyed because they took their politics way too seriously and made it their whole thing, constantly pointing out the injustices and abuses in whatever subject came up when you were just trying to relax and enjoy life. And eventually you realize that the only reason you were able to just drift along without thinking about politics too much was because your worldview was sufficiently aligned with the political status quo to keep you from noticing all the exploitation, oppression, injustice and propaganda which pervades every aspect of our society. You didn't notice it because it didn't clash with your understanding of the world at the time.
If you keep your mind open, keep learning about the world, stay humble enough to see your errors and course-correct accordingly, you eventually see through all those distortions and understand that you had the commies all wrong.
There are still individual communists who get things wrong of course, and like most people in this psychologically disordered world a lot of them are emotional train wrecks who still need to do a lot of inner healing. But there's no group which perceives the abusive dynamics of this civilization with a greater degree of intellectual clarity as a whole.
Mientras cruzaban el río, el escorpión picó a la rana y la rana dijo:
- Ahora los dos moriremos. ¿Por qué me picaste?
Y el escorpión respondió:
- JAJA No entendés nada de economía, zurdo de mierda
