A simple lesson for a bitch who understands more than many humans with a flag on her wrist<\/em><\/p>\n\n Yesterday, while I was talking to a friend from Salamanca – you know, those who tell you they’re not fachas but who have a nostalgia for the unique command and the mandatory military service – he uttered one of those phrases that would make even you, Manuela, raise your eyebrows (if bitches would raise their eyebrows):<\/p>\n\n \u201cWell, Miguel, but… Franco created the swamps<\/strong> . What has the PSOE done apart from stealing?\u201d <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n I, who already know the percale, took a deep breath, looked at the sky as if you were there, Manuela, lying in the sun among jasmines, and I answered him with all the calm in the world:<\/p>\n\n \u201cFor now, dear\u2026 not to kill.<\/strong>\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n It’s as if instead of caressing you they kicked you, but then they say:<\/p>\n\n \u201cMan, but I put you a new bowl. Something is something!\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n Look, beautiful, this has been happening forever. All those humans with little empathy, but with a lot of desire to rule, when they come to power after killing, imprisoning or silencing their own compatriots, they need to leave something \u201cnice\u201d to cover up the evil<\/strong> they did. <\/p>\n\n So they start building. giant absurd Monumental Before Franco had a moustache, there were swamps in Spain.<\/p>\n\n And many others were projected or in the works<\/strong> when he decided to charge the middle of Spain to save it from itself (a contradiction only understandable by those who come in black and white).<\/p>\n\n Yes, during the dictatorship more than 500 swamps were opened. The rest came from before. And he put on the medal<\/strong> (literally). So the swamps did not disappear with Franco, as some seem to believe.<\/strong> What died out was the custom of putting numbers on the concrete.<\/p>\n\n Let’s see if they sound familiar, Manuela:<\/p>\n\n And what did they all have in common? …just a shady corner, a bit of ham and lots of love. It is the complex dictator syndrome: Don’t be fooled, Manuela. Don’t let us be deceived. <\/p>\n\n Franco didn’t make the swamps.<\/strong> And if someone asks \u201cwhat has the PSOE done apart from stealing\u201d<\/strong> , you can answer it yourself from your corner of the garden:<\/p>\n\n \u201cNot killing is enough.<\/strong> Not shooting at dawn.\u201d From MasTorrencito we wish you a good day and may your dogs accompany you!!!!<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n \u2014\u2013 A simple lesson for a bitch who understands more than many humans with a flag on her wrist Yesterday, while I was talking to a friend from Salamanca – you know, those who tell you they’re not fachas but who have a nostalgia for the unique command and the mandatory military service – he uttered […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":4446,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[34],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-4450","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-mastorrencitos-stories"],"yoast_head":"\n\n

\n\n\ud83e\uddb4 Does this sound familiar, Manuela?<\/h4>\n\n
\n
\n\n\ud83e\uddf1 Why do dictators do big and ugly things, Manuela?<\/h4>\n\n
Not because they want to improve anyone’s life. But because they want the people to look up and not back.<\/strong> <\/p>\n
<\/figure>\n
\n\n\ud83d\udcda Lesson number 1: Franco did not invent swamps<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n
\n
\n\n\ud83e\udde0 Lesson number 2: Franco inaugurated, but did not design<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n
But they were actually made, from scratch, about 200 or 250<\/strong> .<\/p>\n\n
Like that guest who arrives late for dinner, he eats the leftovers, and on top of that he says he cooked. <\/p>\n\n
\n\n\ud83d\uddfa\ufe0f Lesson number 3: In Catalonia we also know how to build without dictators<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n
\n
\n\n\ud83c\udfdb\ufe0f Lesson number 4: All dictators do the same, my daughter<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n
\n
\ud83d\udc49 That they killed, repressed, banned<\/strong> …
\ud83d\udc49 And then they built<\/strong> so that they will be remembered for the marble and not for the fear.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n
\n\n\ud83d\udc36 And you, Manuela, you didn’t need swamps to be happy…<\/h4>\n\n
Can you imagine yourself saying: \u201cOkay, they abandoned me, but at least they put a statue of me\u201d?
Well, they do the same thing with Franco.<\/p>\n\n
As they are not going to love them, they want to be remembered.<\/strong>
As they have no soul, they put concrete.<\/strong>
Since they don’t have a town, they make temples.<\/p>\n\n
\n\n\ud83d\udce3 Final bark:<\/h4>\n\n
I was silent. I was afraid I killed
And then he put plates to hide. <\/p>\n\n\n
Don’t build mausoleums with slaves. Don’t put your face in a trap.
And, above all, not having to justify a crime with a concrete gate.\u201d \ud83d\udc3e <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n
