2016 … First they came for the …

I spent this last couple of days hating mankind, it’s something that I’m feeling too often in the last couple of years.

I should preview this post with the knowledge that not only do I already liked United States but I also went there for the first time a couple of weeks ago, and I loved it, the country, the experience, and even the people where the nicest that I met so far, (could it be because I only went to California an New York?). Also being European, one is prone to grow up with the american\ocidental culture even more in the last decades with the TV and internet.

So when I woke up Wednesday morning I just wanted to yell to the majority of Americans, because I just felt that you have to be the dumbest in the world to now have the fucking President Trump. Are you really that stupid? That racist? That xenophobic? That misogynist? That ….. I can just go on and on and on….

 

2 days later, and I still can’t believe, how on earth does someone like him, and tha made a campaign like he did, won? Just what the actual fuck happened?

But, at least I don’t keep on thinking of americans as the dumbest in the world, because we can just look around, and let’s go to the occidental world, to the countries that are near me… and we see brexit (you can be in favour or not… but the campaign was stupid and using arguments that are completely useless), and then we go further east and most countries on east Europe will have an extreme right government sooner or later, or in Spain that they weren’t even able to reach an agreement and have a government, and Jjust hope that France decides to goes against this nonsense and doesn’t elects Le Pen (they’ll probably do it) , so being DUMB is not exclusively American, it’s just one of mankind’s biggest defects.

If we know just a bit of history we can see that this already happened before… more than that we should know by now that history tends to repeat itself, we, as a whole, are stupid like that.

 

So if there’s a thing that we can get ready for, is probably a war or something on that lines…

“First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Socialist.

Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Trade Unionist.

Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Jew.

Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me. “

 

And being completely sincere, I’m as stupid as everyone else, because even if I refuse to vote in any extreme, all the extremism create more hate, I still don’t try enough to do something to change the world to be a better place. I can’t even change myself to become a better person.
