Roses without bread

There are only two ways to descend from the horse: that he stays still and that he is on the move. And there's no more way to descend from corrupt dogmatisms of politics; if it goes down, or it's done with the donkey at rest, or at the step.

The world, both foreign and domestic, has long been the victim of dogmatic – sometimes violent, sometimes peaceful – beliefs. Dogmatism has many names, but it is dogmatism and we recognise it immediately.

The dogmatic has no head and wants the txapela -- that's how it behaves. It raises the most violent exclusions for the benefit of certain blind beliefs, and for their empowerment. Dogmatism was the origin of the Inquisition. Dogmatism fascism. Stalinism.

Dogmatism is paralyzing. It normally implies an obstruction of the actions of the committed community members that do not conform to the vertical footprint. Ask to eat with non-tragable grinders. Stigmatizes critics: In the church, in the jail, in the village square, in the group of txistularis...

Rename, redefine the people who work with their own line – not with a terminology according to the discourse of the independent people, but with the interior dogma – and surprise the “deviates” from the watchtower of vanity.

A lot of us like dogma. Stop. The definition of population. In the design of the city. In the approach of popular action. The margins of lobbyists have been filled: cultural associations, municipal groups, parliaments... The intellectual slavery of dogma is two-fold: endogenous and exogenous. In both of them, terrible.

Mr. Dom

When he was arrested, Dom was eighteen years old. Gestapo locked him in Paris and took Ravensbrück to the field of work. When he was arrested, the executioners referred to the youth’s “deviant and dangerous” militancy, according to the press.

Inside the enormous prison, to survive in the field of work, the days when Mr. Dom ate what he had found in the forests of the SS. Months. For years.

When Nazi surrender came and the war ended, the liberators freed her. Sick and weak, it was once seen by the population from a garbage jar on the street. The walkers called him “pork” on his face. They pointed to him with the index. He told the kids not to approach him.

Mr Dom did not understand anything. And he wondered how, after having lived with the SS system and the others, it was possible that those streets would shake at the time to see the poor picking up food in the garbage.

There are many ways to gain power; not all are beautiful. There are those who want to divide the power and the responsibility that it entails with it, who seek authority. Others have a lot of respect for him and the fact that each step is so measured makes them unable to make a... [+]

And here we are again, religion in school

On February 3rd, the time has begun to pre-enroll our children and young people in schools, and as every year we would like to remind you why we do not think it is a good idea to enroll them in religion. Last year we finished the article saying that “many of you will be... [+]

Pictures of Porcelana Irabia

I had a friend who worked at Porcelana Irabia until they closed, and every time we went to a restaurant or a bar he looked at the mug and the ass of the dish to find out where the piece was made. I do the same thing when I go to the fairs of old things: I look where it is made,... [+]

'Shop like a billionaire'

The fraud of internationalization

There are concepts that appear everywhere during certain periods, which also become mantras. They appear to us in a positive and necessary way, without too much debate and without thinking about them. It seems to me that one of these mantras is internationalization, which has... [+]


Guggenheim Urdaibai: who listens to whom and for what?

In 2021 we began to hear the first echoes of the Guggenheim Urdaibai project. The then General Manager Unai Rementeria told us that it would be done yes or yes. To reinforce his claims, he left 40 million euros “shielded” by the time the museums were built. There it is!... [+]

Institutional responsibility for the protection of children

We learned this week that the Court of Getxo has closed the case of 4-year-old children from the Europa School. This leads us to ask: are the judicial, police, etc. authorities prepared to respond to the children’s requests? Are our children really protected when they are... [+]
