"Nosotros deberíamos aclararle a la mayoría que el éxito es una excepción. Los seres humanos de vez en cuando triunfan. Pero habitualmente desarrollan, combaten, se esfuerzan, y ganan de vez en cuando. Muy de vez en cuando"
-Marcelo Bielsa
En la segunda vuelta, seis medios publicaron 1045 informes, editoriales, columnas, entrevistas o “investigaciones” contra Roberto Sánchez, según un estudio hecho por EL FOCO.
El objetivo de la maquinaria mediática fue apoyar a Keiko Fujimori para que gane las elecciones.
The World Cup has brutally exposed how shallow the "racial solidarity" framework actually is.
Peruvians are openly declaring they'll root for Harry Kane and England in the semi-finals against Argentina because of very specific, very deep historical grudges:
Peru backed Argentina during the Falklands conflict decades ago, only to feel betrayed when Argentina supplied arms to Ecuador during the 1995 Cenepa War, plus the ongoing cultural jab of Argentines using "peruano" as a casual insult.
In other words, there is absolutely no such thing as "Latino solidarity." The whole construct is promoted by leftists in the West and astroturfed hard on Ivy League campuses by actually ignoring the complexities of history. Shared skin tone and shared language don't magically make you into a brotherhood. Ironically, they promote exactly the same race-only lens championed by race realists on the right.
The matchups have been an excellent way to dig deeper into history. I learned for example, that Mexico has zero beef with England because the British sold them arms during their fight for independence from Spain.
Turns out fellow Europeans did more to screw each other's colonial empires and decolonize each other than the subjects ever managed. So it's funny when it gets weaponized by today's third worlders. The ruse becomes clear when you see that they only care about colonialism of a *specific* (read: European white) kind. Everyone else from the Ottomans to the Arabs to the Chinese get a pass.
Populations mix, empires rise and fall, alliances flip, specific betrayals get remembered for generations, and national identity or even regional club loyalty almost always beats abstract racial essentialism.
I've seen people online treat the World Cup like a racial census. Black fans refusing to back any remaining team because they are "white colonizers." White fans abandoning their own squads for having too many non-white players. Cheering for matching melanin levels and broad ancestral categories is just dumb.
There is no such thing as black solidarity, Western/white solidarity, and there's CERTAINLY no such thing as Asian solitary (lol) and Latino solidarity. This is all just activist nonsense.
Yes people are tribal, but the tribes are usually smaller, older, and more specific than skin color or continent. History is messy, grudge-filled, and gloriously complicated.
En general, nunca encuentro lo que quiero leer de los economistas del medio. Su discurso se ha estancado en +inv priv=menos pobreza=🥳. Y bueno, si esa es toda la lógica que están dispuestos a discutir, yo me aburro
Hay gente que siento que vive en realidades paralelas. No entiendo como Tuesta escribe que la primera prioridad del nuevo gob es la estabilidad macro y no la inseguridad. De hecho, es la última que menciona en su reciente artículo https://t.co/Tffi2LzEo7
@ssan199403@cconstantini Efectivamente, porque si tuvieran influencia sería un cártel. Una de las principales barreras es el requisito mínimo de capital (que, ojo, es verdaderamente necesario). No cualquiera decide/puede abrir un banco. Eso hace que un mercado se asemeje a un “oligopolio”
Carmela confronting Tony about his infidelities in THE SOPRANOS is one of the greatest acting showcases ever put on television.
Edie Falco and James Gandolfini are absolutely astonishing in this scene.
@mapiregaladom Creo que solo estaba súper cansado. Eso lo veo más en las entrevistas post partido del fútbol. A veces el esfuerzo físico puede dejarte algo atónito
