Political views

It has changed a lot. And the funny thing is that it was at university when I was the most bending to the right. Up until then I had not much idea, except what we learned in school from history, you know the bad guys from the World War 2 were the nazis and the good ones were the others then the communists when bad too, etc. At university most of my friends were center right so we weren’t polarised like people are nowadays, we could see the good in both parts, and also the bad. Then little by little, as I started working and seeing that capitalism is what is destroying the world, and who keeps pushing for it my views changed.

Now I guess I am as fat left as I can be, but funny enough, not because I was brainwashed by creepy communists, on the contrary, because of all the crapp and tricks and cheats I’ve been enduring for years and years by the big owners of the businesses I have worked in, all those unfair treatments under the caring eye of right wing governments that cared more about money and rich owners than about the people and the voters. I learned to see through the lies and sugar traps the media give us to numb us and don’t react against what’s coming up. But mostly, I remember the history lessons I took so long ago, and how many of the wars from last century were the result of bad choices made by voters who go tricked by the rich and wealthy to help them become more rich. Basically what is happening today, history repeating? I hope we will see it before it’s too late.

I wrote about that in La Trilogía de Matrix in Spanish and also in The Devil Wears Prada.and other entries. Feel free to browse.
