"We all deserve the best." This is what the screen says. Swallow non-stop. Who would oppose this round statement? The 20 seconds of gold in advertising can give bigger clues than any sociological research into the direction of society; it is not a waste, there are many millions at stake.
Modernity made Man (white man) owner of creation. Years ago, however, that this place was occupied by the Individual. On the other hand, although the age of rights began in the middle of the 20th century, it did not follow a long trajectory, since in the 21st century, with the extirpation of the community, the sense of rights has been lost.
Apets and desires take their place. And what we have to want is also well defined: “You want it, you have it,” if you have money to buy. The mercantilist logic of capitalism has taken our minds. We are deeply convinced that anything we want is our right, “because I value it!” (because I deserve it! ").
The market has turned people into products, products and media. Thus, the exploitation of women and the purchase of human beings is a right for many. Who would say that the minimum red line would be so low at this point in history? Of course, let us not forget that the rights of capitalism are rights without responsibility. Because, in general, responsibility is towards others.
There is a time of life when we kill the mother or father, when we start talking about personal identity. It was a limited time, because once we have clarified who we are, adulthood welcomed us. But capitalism has hooked us up to eternal adolescence, to the despair of our false individuality, waiting for us to complete our hypothetical “singularity” with the things we buy and show, until we too become a mere succession of things. An unfinished promise of Paradise that we will never achieve.
It's a religion that permeates everything. I am struck, among other things, by the announcement against the bullling that has recently been opened. The fundamental message is “You are special”. I do not think it has been done with bad intentions, but we have it within that thought, because we are convinced that the solution to all our problems will come from the promotion of individuality.
When did we forget to educate in empathy and solidarity? Teaching to manage frustrations? Today it is difficult to distinguish between evil and good, to the extent that good has been reduced to what is beneficial to oneself; it is difficult to combat frustration, because the desires that govern our lives would not be so desirable if, together with them, they did not sell frustration.
Our supposed uniqueness does not deserve anything. What's more, we're not really special. We all carry within the same passions, passions and pulsions. We are selfish and collaborative at the same time, both of joy and of pain and of joy and pain (this is what gives rise to relationships). The only thing we can select is where to go. And don't forget it's a political choice. Anyway, if the world is orbiting itself, is there room for the polis?
It must exist. Compulsory.
Start losing weight on the back; experience pain and failure from today, anger for not having achieved everything you want. There is no provision for tender times, and I do not believe that there is room for the innocence of whimsical sargos, not even to drain the tears of the mainbears.

I received your e-mail in personal mail on the strike portals. At first, like many others, I thought it was to let you know what options we have in the face of the strike. But no, the e-mail received was a political and communicative movement against the strike.
I will confess... [+]
This weekend I've been thinking about the word 'aesthetic' in relation to a phrase said by a friend: “This work is aesthetic.” I have studied the etymology of the word aesthetic, it seems that its meaning was originally perceived through the senses, and it was later associated... [+]
In recent years, the concept of industrial policy has reappeared strongly at various levels. The organization that was the hammer of neoliberalism, the International Monetary Fund, today insists that markets have been pressured to allocate resources efficiently and solve these... [+]
The other day in Bilbao, I met a friend at the Bira bar. We were very happy at the Tar and I said: “Of course, since you’re Guipúzcoa, hahahaha.” And he insisted that he was not Guipuzcoan. Without me understanding it, I kept saying, “Ah! Is it not? You were born in New... [+]
Zalantza asko izan ditut, meloia ireki ala ez. Ausartuko naiz, zer demontre! Aspaldian buruan dudan gogoeta jarri nahi dut mahai gainean: ez da justua erditu den emakumearen eta beste gurasoaren baimen-iraupena bera izatea. Hobeto esanda, baimen-denbora bera izanda ere, ez... [+]
We are in the midst of a world imperialist offensive led by the Western bourgeoisie. The form that the imperialist offensive has taken is that of war, with all its variants: economic war, cognitive and cultural war, lawfarr; and, of course, military war. Western imperialism has... [+]
I just saw a series from another sad detective. All the plots take place on a remote island in Scotland. You know how these fictions work: many dead, ordinary people but not so many, and the dark green landscape. This time it reminded me of a trip I made to the Scottish... [+]
To be honest, I don't know why I'm writing this. In today’s hostile environment, opinions of this kind are not well received. Perhaps LUZ will not publish this because it does not correspond to the opinions they have published so far (but if they have finally decided to publish... [+]
On January 15, the techno-business lobby called Cedarios presented its 6th report, Euskadi and the European Union, the shared destiny of prosperity and competitiveness. This neoliberal Think Tank, made up of eminent experts drawn from the world of finance, presented a magical... [+]
We Basques move our feet behind the witness of Korrika to proclaim that we want to survive as a Basque people in favor of our language, with the aim of the Basque Country we desire.

And for another year, the unions have organized prefabricated strikes for us. And we, individually, will decide whether or not to join the strike, without the need for any assembly at the school.
The strike model that I was taught is no longer in vogue, it seems. In my... [+]
Life surrounds everything, it is limited and fragile. To live good lives, it seems to me that the body knows what to do, while the mind, although it knows (when it is well informed), often sees the body deliberately silence. In this silence the mind opens itself to relations... [+]
Eroso gaude ingurunea gure egoera fisiko/emozionalera egokitzen denean. Besteak ni kontuan hartu nauenean, izan gizaki bat, objektu bat, espazio bat. Erosotasunaren klabea produktu eta espazio diseinuan beharrizan handi gisa sartu da, erosotzat jotzen dena erosgarria delako... [+]
