"I'll ruin, yeah, I'll ruin you!
(I'll roo!)
I've been doing things I shouldn't do!
(Things I shouldn't do!)"
"I'm A Ruin" - Marina And The Diamonds
There's no such thing as a wrong vote. Everybody defends their interest when casting theirs: some want x, some want y, some want a handsome president, some are being paid to vote in a certain way... Everything responds to individual interest, and that makes those votes as fair as they can be. In Spain we've got this situation that hasn't changed since the late '70s and offers a good thing and an ominous factor: we have a wide variety of political parties to choose, but absolutely nobody cares a bit about any but two or, recently, four.
So, as I stated just before, this has brought to a state where there are four shitpiles of possible choices: the PP and Ciudadanos in the right wing, and PSOE (if it survives next elections) and Podemos in the left, also known as the rest because who the F cares.
You know those artist that make super-lifelike drawings? Yeah. |
This sums it up. |
Podemos, within its systematical apparently weed-induced program, probably less realistic than most science fiction stories, is, for its fidelity to the left wing, the best choice for anyone whose money can't buy the soul and left kidney of every Syrian refugee in Europe, Asia and Donald Trump's mom's house.
And... And the others are the PP. Let's see what they did in their legislature of presidence:
- They've raised college prices.
- They've tried to criminalize abortions in most scenarios, even though they only got to in the case of minors under 16 without parental consent.
- They've raised college prices indirectly by adding one year to the master courses, almost doubling the original prize (raising above the triple in some sectors) of minimal qualificating education for most research or clinical careers.
- They've paralyzed tons and tons of regional and statal laws for the protection of LGBT collectives (ehm... Which mental institution did you say #SoyGayYDelPP started in?).
- They've simplified and concentered the school subject of philosophy, making it unreachable from a certain educational level to science and technology students.
- They've paralyzed the essential and necessary Law of Transsexuality (link to news in Spanish about the subject), redacted around 2010 by a trans PSOE member and active only in Madrid since weeks ago.
- They've added prices to certain public health services and cut subventions to public hospitals and drugstores.
And the list could go on and on listing the very most natural consequences of bearing a right-wing government. It seems really obvious to me: the privatizing of essential sectors like education or health and the boycott of their public faction for the benefit of those accessing private services, the systematical annihilation of the right to progress for any minority, the homogenization of points of view in students and media consumers... Everything responds to right wing interests. Did people expect anything else? Does people expect anything else from Ciudadanos, DiL, any right wing party?
Everytime you hear an acquiantance or friend is giving a vote to those parties, provided you're a worker, remember: they are voting for your annihilation.
Nothing else to say.
