Quiero recomendar la lectura de la llamada "novela del dictador" en la literatura latinoamericana. Destacan "Yo, el Supremo", "La fiesta del Chivo", "Oficio de difuntos", "Señor Presidente", "El otoño del patriarca". Cada una es fuera de serie. Pero voy a destacar "Yo, el Supremo", de Augusto Roa Bastos. Es una lectura muy densa, larga, pero brillantemente escrita, y nos muestra cómo la tiranía no solo es una forma de gobierno, sino una "patología del lenguaje y del control total sobre el ciudadano". Roa Bastos ridiculiza la megalomanía al describir al "Supremo", como aquel que intenta controlarlo todo, incluso el lenguaje y la historia escrita.
Ahora bien, la "estrategia de cambiarlo todo superficialmente para que el poder real permanezca intacto" (un concepto conocido como "gatopardismo") lo pueden leer en la obra "El Gatopardo" de Giuseppe Tomasi di Lampedusa (Hay una versión de la novela en Netflix, igual título). Su frase célebre resume la táctica de muchas dictaduras modernas que simulan procesos de cambio o "caras nuevas" para mantenerse en el poder: "Si queremos que todo siga igual, es necesario que todo cambie". ¡¿No les suena parecido?! Aunque no creo que estos seres hayan leído alguna de estas joyas literarias.

A clear example of the horseshoe theory in action:

These two people hold very similar views on foreign policy.

Both support Russia, China, Iran, and their proxies.

One is a far-left streamer, and the other is Trump’s Director of National Intelligence

PROHIBIDO OLVIDAR que el chavismo destruyó tanto la salud en Venezuela con sus políticas socialistas, que las mujeres terminaban pariendo en las escaleras de los centros hospitalarios sin ningún tipo de atención.

Y Delcy Rodríguez fue parte de esto.

Bashar al-Assad is in exile, Nicolas Maduro in prison and Ali Khamenei blown to pieces.

Sooner or later they all fall.

[Azat @AzatAlsalim]

A reminder ISIS terrorists burned alive 19 Yezidi girls alive in Mosul, Iraq. They had refused to convert to Islam and be sex sIaves.

They also beheaded 50 Yezidi women in Syria in retaliation for being bombed.

lSlS kidnapped and raped 7000 Yezidi women!

UN stayed silent!

🚨🇮🇷 ÚLTIMA HORA: Narges Mohammadi, activista iraní de derechos humanos y ganadora del Premio Nobel de la Paz en 2023, está siendo torturada por la República Islámica en Irán.

Mientras tanto, António Guterres ha felicitado hoy a la República Islámica.

.@cesarbaezc breaks down the New York Times' shameful whitewashing of Venezuela's interim Dictator Delcy Rodriguez for @reason. He clarifies, point by point, why Delcy is no benevolent economic genius as the Times wants you to believe https://t.co/sXA4b38tt5

Just now: the first 3 people greeted by the new La Jefa of the Cartel de los Soles at her coronation were the Chinese, Russian & Iranian ambassadors.

La hija de Chávez tiene 4200 millones de dólares
El hijo de Maduro más de 1000 millones
La fortuna de Nicolás Maduro en 2015 se estimaba en 811 millones de dólares
Mientras los abuelos en Venezuela malviven con 0,45 dólares al mes
Comunistas con lo ajeno. Capitalistas con lo suyo

[Masih Alinejad @AlinejadMasih]

The regime in Iran want you to look away.
They want to call this “an internal matter.”

It’s not.

Shayan Asadollahi was 28 years old.
A barber. An artist. A young man sharing his work on Instagram.

Tonight, in Azna, Iran’s security forces shot him dead with a live bullet.

Unarmed. Peaceful. Guilty of one thing only: demanding a free Iran.
This is a government at war with its own people.

And every government that stays silent tonight is choosing a side.

[Cesar Moya @zuricht94]

Al liberar a los venezolanos que mantenían secuestrados en sus mazmorras, Nicolás Maduro y su banda criminal admiten implícitamente la violación sistemática y masiva de los derechos humanos en Venezuela.

[Emiliana Duarte @emiduarte]

Even the Communist Party of Venezuela hates Maduro.

[Germania Rodriguez Poleo @iamGermania]

Maduro and Delcy’s latest victim’s body is reunited with his family, who hadn’t seen him during his year in isolation in political imprisonment. Alfredo Díaz’ crime was opposing the dictatorship. #DelcyAsesina

Let me share a personal anecdote. I served as a diplomat in Caracas when she was the Foreign Minister. I attended several meetings that she chaired, and they were honestly the worst official meetings I have ever experienced. So much for calling her “moderate.”

She often called meetings and then arrived hours late. When she finally showed up, she would immediately start scolding diplomats who had been publicly critical of the government’s persecution of the opposition. I felt genuinely uncomfortable watching her single out individual diplomats in front of everyone.

Her attitude showed no understanding of protocol, no professionalism, and no respect for basic diplomatic courtesy. In my view, she is not moderate at all. Within the regime, she can actually be even more hardline than Maduro.

BREAKING:

Today’s attack on a Catholic school in Nigeria was much worse than initially thought. 215 children, mainly girls aged 12-17, were kidnapped

Islamist Fulani militias are suspected of being behind the attack 🇳🇬
