We are perfectly touched bulls

Zarata mediatikoz beteriko garai nahasiotan, merkatu logiketatik urrun eta irakurleengandik gertu dagoen kazetaritza beharrezkoa dela uste baduzu, ARGIA bultzatzera animatu nahi zaitugu. Geroz eta gehiago gara, jarrai dezagun txikitik eragiten.

I have stopped following the policy news on the ground. A quick review of the press during breakfast, a selection of some interview or report of later interest and the rumor of the short radio stations to the shower. Now, that's the time that I spend from my precious time getting to know the fresh facts. Total, what for? We are told what they want, only what they want, as long as they are interested and, of course, interpreted as they want. I live like this better, quieter, less rage and lighter.

No, don't misunderstand. It is not that I am not interested in politics, that I believe that what happens does not affect us, or that in ignorance I have no other purpose than to guarantee my well-being. The truth is that it does not seem to me that nowhere is there a discourse that really moves away from the official narrative of power, and not only in its own means, which would not be surprising, but also by the mouth or pen of those others who claim to be against that discourse. The nuances are interpretations that are of interest to the nuances, to the powerful, or that, at best, are easily tolerable because they do not involve great losses.

"In these times power is the manufacturer of a revolutionary ideology that supposedly opposes official ideology"

Authoritarian systems are characterized by allowing only a single ideology and trying to stop any uprising against the status quo through a violent threat. Democracy, however, is characterised by freedom of expression, which also gives the measure of the democratic level of this system, together with other freedoms.

I am not saying anything new, I know, but I am saying this because of the confusion that still exists in the case of the authoritarians who want to disguise themselves as a democracy. They have to make them believe that there is freedom (because the appearance in the world of monolithic ideology is a shameful thing, even for the most irreverent regimes), but making sure that from that monopoly of power they have they will not lose a dream.

They must pretend that they accept dissent, but because they do not want to pay dearly, they have to ensure that dissent is not real, that it is not from those that might jeopardise the regime. For them, the diversity of opinions is only the missing piece of the cosmetic operation machine that needs to be applied to the assembly, but to make it work better, never to spoil the system, to see if we learn. Thus, they design an orbit in which critical thinking is developed, well embracing the frame of reference and the walls that will be obstacles to looking beyond implementation in strategic places. In these times power is also the manufacturer of revolutionary ideology that supposedly opposes official ideology.
If you can, of course. And I'm going to do that.

Very easy for Basques. They have enough simple provocation strategy to guide us, to predict our movements, to lead our policy. It is a policy of reaction that needs strong resistance from the people, of which the surprise/complaint is still expressed for what they have done to us over the centuries, and they are asked to commit themselves to us.
That's what we call politics. And indeed. But Spanish (or French).

These are perfectly touched bulls, innocent sick people who, without course and desperately, move only in the direction desired by the torero, do not bleed. It is a show of bad taste, but well, we do it for those Spaniards who have as bad taste as to love bulls. Shame neighborhood.

It is not an easy task to define what the new US mandate will bring in the economic sphere. The axis of the new economic strategy will be the peculiar union between liberalism and protectionism for the external sector. Despite what has happened in the United States on a regular... [+]


Technology
Because to receive is to give

The evolution that the Internet has taken over the last 15 years, together with its technological and business model, makes us think that it is a tool to increase the worst aspects of humanity. Around the world, agents have been created that are not satisfied with this idea... [+]

I want with you

In recent years, I have made little progress. I have said it many times, I know, but just in case. Today I attended a bertsos session. “I wish you a lot.” Yes, that is why I have warned that I leave little, I assume that you are attending many cultural events, and that you... [+]

I remember them.

In 2006, Baltasar Garzón, then star judge, suffered a kind of revelation and drafted a practice that guaranteed the rights of those detained for terrorism. The same judge saw hundreds of incommunicado detainees pass through his room, many with obvious signs of ill-treatment,... [+]

From perseverance

They're one of the most beautiful memories I have in my heart. At the time I was doing Basque Philology and we went to a society in Arbizu to a concert by Ruper Ordorika. There were Rikardo Arrangi Diaz of Heredia and Juanjo Olasgrip. I didn't dare to tell Arrangi that I had in my... [+]

Land of witches

It is said that Simone de Beauvoir wrote that the oppressor would not be so strong if he did not have complicit in the lines of the oppressed. It seems very normal to me... What do you want? When you're down, it's also understandable that you want to improve your condition, and... [+]


Our body is a battlefield.

The essential thing is people.

We live in a context in which anti-feminist and racist hate speech at the global level is on the rise. Far-right narratives are inserted throughout the world by

Fog

Many times, after looking at the brumas from my house, it has occurred to me not to catch umbrellas, even though I know I will just soak up. Why will it be? Maybe you don't want to catch the umbrella? Maybe in the hope that I don't get wet? Nevertheless, the conclusion has always... [+]


To live in Basque, the Republic of Euskera

I remember when I was 16 years old, the Ertzaintza first identified me in a concentration in favor of the Basque Country before the Bergara courts. We believed that in Euskal Herria it was legitimate to cry for the Euskaldunization of the courts, but then there would also be a... [+]

When the thirst for profit chokes

The disaster caused by the cold drop in Valencia has left us dramatic images, both because of the immediate consequences it has had, and because the future awaiting us has brought us forward: that this type of extreme climate phenomena will be increasingly numerous and serious... [+]


We have argued against the Navarre Energy Plan that does not plan

The update of the Navarra Energy Plan goes unnoticed. The Government of Navarre made this public and, at the end of the period for the submission of claims, no government official has explained to us what their proposals are to the citizens.

Rusophobia before and now (II)

Since the disappearance of the Soviet Union, rusophobia has been growing. The concept of security of the UN Security Council of 2002 is very clear and indicates that the security and stability of the planet must depend on the states that do not intend to challenge the United... [+]
