Bullfighting is opposed by at least half the country’s politicians, and fewer and fewer people are watching it. Many areas have taken measures against it, and without further ado.

The monarchy has great protection in the media, but on the street, most people criticize them without a problem. There’s a reason the instructions refuse to hold a referendum outright.

Football is different. Of course, there are people who criticize it, but a large part of the population is happy for their team, or the president of their team, to manipulate the politician in charge to gain something. Support for other institutions has many more flaws.

If the European authorities don’t intervene, this will continue to happen shamelessly. These people’s political and media power in Spain is enormous.

It’s not Spain that’s pushing the EU, it’s Trump.

As a company, they’ve always been incredibly conservative, so for maybe the last decade or so, they’ve tried to fix it by creating characters that are an absurd progressive stereotype as a stupid by product of a committee with no connection to what they wanted to stand for, so they didn’t lose their reputation as conservatives among progressives, they pissed off conservatives by adapting to the woke agenda and along the way making some absolutely infamous products, yes Star Wars I’m looking at you

I don’t think it’s a bad plan, but I believe a good first step would be to close all government accounts on Twitter and open them on Mastodon instead. I’m talking about all levels of administration within the EU27. The impact on journalists, the press, reporters, and others would be massive.

Las comunidades en español son escasas y de poca actividad en general. Te animo a participar en cualquiera que veas activa compartiendo lo que te interese. Yo ayudo moderando !esp@lemm.ee y seras bien recibido

Liz Truss giving advice on power is a joke in itself

Trump’s friendship with Putin is not fresh news and American voters have not given a shit

In Iran there are also people who love democracy, but I am sorry to say that, just like in America, they are a minority.

Keep in mind that these are active users, many networks with huge numbers have registered accounts, but most have no activity.

In any case, be the change you want to see, help the network grow by providing content and activity, you will always be welcomed.

If this is the final humiliation we will be lucky, unless we build our own leadership together we will be dismantled and sold for scrap.

Good luck with supplies, maintenance and spare parts

Fuck, please no

Of course, because the new American administration has proven to be a reliable ally. They can foresee Europe and Ukraine

If they had enough vision and created a real common army, we could look at the big players as equals and be a superpower in our own right.

However, I believe that these cowards will not go beyond empty words and will put us on the same level as Latin America in the 50s. Ready to be divided up and impoverished by people with true leadership.

On unrelated topics, I am now radicalized and I hope that capitalism falls violently

I do not say that he is right, but he is right

At no point have I suggested that one thing is better or worse, and I have also acknowledged that this list changes over space and time. I can add the social context because I agree with you regarding small groups.

However, what ultimately matters is what is culturally influential—what shapes the worldview of our societies, even for those who are not directly aware of it. There are works, not just books but also music or films, that change our perspective on the world in the long term and do so by influencing all subsequent creators (at least in the mainstream). Being familiar with these works is important, and this doesn’t mean there aren’t brilliant works outside of this sphere—it’s just that their cultural impact is so significant that they deserve your attention.

I suppose I will not convince you from my point, but I want you to know that I appreciate an educated conversation that for once does not deal with politics or things like that. It is a pleasure to chat with someone and exchange points of view and even better do it than someone with whom you do not agree.

I am referring to that which has a widely accepted cultural meaning. That which a large part of society knows and/or not knowing it will make you outside the general culture. This varies in space and time and is not decided independently by anyone, it is rather a consensus between creators and the public.

You can not read it, but you must know it or you will be left out of references that others know, impoverishing your experience.

Okay, stay calm. Getting anxious has never helped anyone, and trying to think things through with a clear mind usually does. Take another test before talking to anyone about it to be 100% sure, but keep in mind that the chances of it being a false positive are very low. Start thinking and planning with that in mind.

I don’t know your personal situation or the decisions you’ll make about this, but I’m sure you’ll find support from the people around you and you’ll get through it.
