To be executed

I remember that friends are the most important thing in this life,” I read not so much in a book. Or that's what I remember, I don't know exactly what I was saying. Well, the important thing I don't know, but the precious good, in many of us scarce, and so what you have to take care of is like a back.

Whatsapp groups – or Telegram – receive discriminatory content in the form of a joke or meme, and campaigns are carried out so that we do not divulge them and even to reproach the sender for their dissemination. For example, if a group member sends a sexist content, the campaign suggests what we can do. Of course, it seems to me a relatively simple exercise not to extend the message. Another thing is to rebuke the sender, often his friend, or to pause the voter who has formed in the group. This is violent and can change some relationships, usually to wear out, not to consolidate. Fortunately, I do not receive such messages in the whatsapp groups, according to my standards.

The already classic song "Killing in the name" by the American group Rage Against The Machine insists on "And now you do what they told already." I mean, more or less, and being the insignificant translation for this column, "and now you do what they told you."

You answer with a cigarette Irriño, because you don't want to love the environment too much, because it's three in the morning, and you don't want to scream "I'm not in favor of the death penalty" in the ear

Well, when I was with a Basque friend who didn't know much before, within a few hours of a normal night, they put that song in the bar, out loud. One day, the chorus came and approached my friend, and made me hear by complicity the variant they used in my crew: "Let them run Atutxa! ".

It's probably not the best-known game of words with this chorus, but I also knew that kind of mondegres that were purposely adapted, and pretty twisted. I suppose it is a gesture to the former President of the Basque Parliament, Juan Mari, who is turning the doors, but for Itxaso, Chairman of the Bizkai Buru Batzar, it would be worth the same. Or why not, for the same price, for the pack of both. Two birds with one shot.

And you respond with a zuztarbar, because you don't want to love the environment too much, because it's three in the morning, and you don't say, "I'm not in favor of the death penalty!" scream in the ear along with a confusing negative gesture, because you're worried about your friend's reaction. Because maybe the answer is silence, silence that doesn't know how long it's going to last. Like when you say something in a Whatsapp group – or Telegram – and nobody responds.
