Alexander the Great He made a direct attack on the Persian leader, who fled in panic and his army was scattered and fragmented. Hernán Cortés with only five horsemen charged Aztec Cihuacóatl, knocked him down with one thrust, and the army scattered. TitoThe Marshal went on to another life and Yugoslavia fragmented; Saddam Hussein, liquidated, his people are still fighting among themselves. Franco died and we fragmented again, to this day. Dictatorship produces social fragmentation, because it does not count or eliminates those who do not agree with its vision.
The authoritarian leader can bring together, for the moment, disparate forces present in any group, large or small; conflicting intentions, egoisms, forces of cohesion and dispersion while he is alive, then return to the previous fragmentation that has been latent.
Each brain installed in its dogmatic fortress, with its unshakeable beliefs and opinions, its difficulty to think otherwise. Therefore, in any group, family, nation we find the human; a gathering of beings equal in emotional ambivalence, with automatic thoughts and actions without questioning, with love and hate, with the need to ignore or attack what is different, denying the "sins" of their leaders. This will not be changed by today's democracies. That we leave in the hands of emerging characters or movements in charge of actualising the existence of the enemy in order to vote against it. Managed, excited emotions are what make people explode, confront and destroy each other. They unhinge us, make us regressive, stop talking about politics with friends and family and ruptures, aggression, disqualification will appear. Their need to make a living from politics through disqualifications in the absence of programmes and deep understanding of what the nation needs has permeated society.
The true leader, he foresees, he almost foresees the future, he is an integrator, he needs everyone. However, these people we have are all about winning elections, pissing people off and confronting them.
There are tactics as old as humanity, awakening messianic hopes; they came together for universal Christianity, for planetary revolution, or as a progressive project. Another tactic employed in Spain, every day, is to point the finger at the enemy so that they feel they are attacked or threatened and join in the disqualifying project first and thereafter until they can reach the annihilation of the "enemy". Both tactics produce social depression, disenchantment and people who identify with these assumptions and the majority who become disillusioned and depressed.
We are now "lucky" to have a progressive government. Those of us who are not will be confined behind a cordon sanitaire.
The progressive, declaring himself as such, has a brutal emotional force in this Spain.It is a moral accusation, a contempt for those of us who are not, it is used to create guilt, to exclude, it is the narcissist who believes he is superior, because of his category, his position, his class or because he is left-wing and progressive. Quite the opposite of a unifying project that we need.
A good personality diagnosis is to know the effect that their language, their expressions, their presence have on us. If we feel we are without arguments, afraid, cornered, we are dealing with a psychopath or a pathological narcissist. In this case, the progressive government, formed by progressives with the patent that places them on the good, clean, ideal, honest side of history, with social programmes, with their corresponding necrophilia, with a good cleaning of street names of those undesirable, guilty ones, to place their good ones. This is all part of progressivism - not progress. Making a history that confirms their moral superiority, which they claim in its entirety. In such a way that I and my fellow citizens are left on the side of those who need a belt, or something to differentiate us, such as that we are right-wing and other less innocent epithets. It is the usual perverse trick, the heretics, the infidels, who unleashed tremendous social forces or the class traitors who ended up on the wall.
It has been difficult to reach agreements because they hammer every day sowing differences, disqualifications, in the electoral processes, before and after. They cannot reach a pact with the right-wing and it is natural, they lack that superiority of pathological narcissist that turns into moral superiority. We have a couple with self-interested love. Both give a clutch.
Elections as a solution
Now another election and then another election in which we will once again be reminded that there are good guys and bad guys and we will be divided, we will be pitted against each other. Therefore, a disease is being treated with a botched job: elections. They spend their days dividing, disqualifying, ignoring, and on some television channels stirring up division. Their brains, like Don Quixote's, don't care whether they are sheep or windmills; their readings, their left-wing creed, need them to be Saracens and giants. Quixote, in his omnipotence and his bookish intoxication, could only invent enemies of his stature. This is the addictive nature of some ideologies.
In this work of sapping to keep us fragmented, the electoral results that we know are the result. I would say that it is a perverse lure, a need like that heroic knight to defend his ideals, without seeing the reality that we need, only the one that comes out of his ideology. We all know that they are in this corral of people playing cards-playing seats, while things happen that take us away from the tasks ahead of us and slow down our development as a People. It is the result of this brain we carry: a set of preserved primitive evolutionary experiments, of bungling, shortcuts and archaisms tending to evade complexity and pull ahead we need broad strokes, define enemies, remain seeing or feeling we are in the truth and other characteristics I have described in previous articles. Christian Salmon: "A society driven by half-truths is heading for the abyss".. There have been many in this election campaign, stories have been created to measure. "Now Spain" for now with the independentistas.
Progressives in Nicaragua took power and created a state of repression and government aggression against the population. Another progressive in Colombia fragmented as here of good guys and bad guys. Ecuador has also exploded in the face of the progressive policies of left-wing governments; Cuba, Venezuela, a model for some of our young progressives, who have contributed to bring "progress" to the aforementioned nations.
