El ser humano es el único animal que tropieza dos veces con la misma piedra

“El pueblo que no conoce su historia está condenado a repetirla”, una frase que parece ya desgastada, pero con los tiempos que corren cobra cada vez más y más sentido. Como muchos ya sabréis, el pasado octubre Jair Bolsonaro fue elegido presidente de la República de Brasil. Este personaje, porque no puede ser llamado de otra manera, es la clara señal de que la frase que titula esta entrada es mucho más que verdad.


Para ponernos en contexto, no se puede evitar comentar que es un “nostálgico” de la dictadura militar que hubo allí desde 1964 hasta 1985. Nostálgico entre comillas, por no referirnos a él con apelativos más soeces. Y como ex militar y defensor de dictaduras que es, no podía tener una mentalidad progresista. Me limitaré, porque este es un blog acerca de la igualdad, a profundizar sólo en sus “diferencias” con el sexo femenino, pero también hay que dejar claro que es un abanderado del racismo, del anti-indigenismo y de la homofobia y que defiende vergonzosas prácticas como la tortura y la “eliminación” de opositores políticos, lógicamente, de izquierdas. Bien, ahora, entrando en el tema de lleno, Bolsonaro es un machista que no se molesta en demostrarlo continua y públicamente sin pudor alguno. “Tengo cinco hijos, fueron cuatro hombres, ahí en el quinto me dio una debilidad y vino una mujer.” Joyita gorda, de las que no caben ni en el anillo más grande. Y no fue hace tanto, lo dijo en un discurso el año pasado, y encima teniendo esa hija suya tan solo 6 años: dime tú cómo creces con un padre que se refiere a ti de esa manera desde la más tierna infancia. Entre otros tantos episodios polémicos, se encuentra uno de los más famosos: Bolsonaro dijo, durante una discusión en la Cámara de los Diputados, que no “violaría” a la diputada Maria do Rosário porque “no se lo merece”, como respuesta a su afirmación de que la dictadura había sido una “vergüenza absoluta” para Brasil. Al menos por esta burrada ha sido juzgado y tuvo que pagar una indemnización a la política. Podría aquí relatar una lista de sucesos casi tan grande como la vergüenza que supone este elemento para la raza humana, pero me quedaré con uno último que me estoy explayando en exceso ya. Y está, para colmo, relacionado con uno de los temas más espinosos en cuanto a la desigualdad, la brecha salarial. Afirmó, y se quedó tan ancho después, que las mujeres no deben cobrar lo mismo que los hombres ya que ellas se embarazan, alegando que el derecho a la baja por maternidad perjudica la productividad del empresario, el siempre pobre y desamparado empresario.


Para concluir, quería abrir a reflexiones y debate el tema con la pregunta: ¿creemos que el mundo que estamos formando y que dejaremos al irnos, será realmente más justo y equitativo que el que tuvimos al llegar? Sea así o no, una cosa queda clara, y es que el ser humano, es el único animal que tropieza dos veces con la misma piedra.

  1. Totalmente de acuerdocon lo que expones,y por desgracia, cada vez aparecen más personajes de este tipo que nos hace pensar hacia que tipo de mundo nos dirigimos.Desde luego no hacia uno más justo e igualitario como cabria esperar de gente cada vez más preparada e inteligente.

  2. Es una pena que haya ciudadan@s que voten estos estereotipos rancios que, por desgracia, nos lastran hacia un abismo del que da vértigo caer.
    Buena entrada, mejor aún la reflexión.

  3. I fully agree. This century has opened an era of intolerance, violence and populist leaders who don't believe in the main human rights. We have to WATCH OUT!!!

  4. I agree with you, this world is less fair a few years ago. We are going back in the time, and this men is an example of this, a person which ideas and personality are backwards with the current world. Is a pity that there are people who votes this antiquated president.

  5. In my opinion, you have written a sensible text and you are right. People like that mustn't have an important power like a president of a country. I can't understand why people votes someone like him. It's difficult to believe. I usually say: "the human is the most intelligent animal and the silliest, too".

  6. Es increible que despues de todo lo que alguna gente a pasado, sigan botando a personas como esta. No se quien es peor si este "hombre" o la gente que lo bota.

  7. Me parece injusto que a día de hoy sigan viendo personas así, dando ejemplos malos para la sociedad y haciendo esos tipos de comentarios machistas.Pienso que por una parte de la culpa la tenemos los ciudadanos por votar a gente así para nuestro país.

  8. I´m totally on the same page as you, it is shameful that nowadays a person like that could achieve becoming such an important figure for a country with those thoughts. If that man has been chosen by the citizens, in what kind of world are we living? It is an example of the long mental progression that a large amount of people need to do to make a better and much more equal world.

  9. The decisions that humanity has been doing lately, makes me feel as if we were suicidal
    willing to set this world on fire. I feel so abashed of being part of this society that I can not understand how these type of person, if it can be called that, is allowed to rule a whole country and to lead the future generations.Three years ago, we all freaked out when Donald Trump won the elections but now it has happened again, there are people who think that they are right, who see women as a lower being, who support the deforestation of the Amazonas and who don´t believe in other thoughts but their own ones. We can´t keep going back, we must look forward and that is the new generations´ duty.

  10. Seeing this really makes me wonder if people hate their kids, because leaving their future in the hands of such a character is one of the worst ideas anyone could think of, it's like letting a child play with a granade.
    It a shame that people like Bolsonaro (or Trump for that matter) get to rule a whole country; and not just any country, Brazil. How are we supposed to progress if the head of the country, the person who sets an example for everyone else to follow, is leading the way back, undoing the steps that so much effort took us all to take at a terrifying speed. How should we react to this?
    All I can say is that this is shameful and that this world is really going to the dogs.
    And answering the question in the article, the only thing I can say is that there's one think that I hope and one thing that I objectively believe, and unfortunately, they are not very similar.

  11. I totally agree with what you express in the text, I do not know how people like that can govern and the truth is that it is a strong and delicate issue, since this man discriminates against women. And people like this man, there are many in the world, we must vindicate ourselves and show that we are all equal.

  12. I believe that your article is very coherent. I say that, because I also wonder if the world is improving or, in contrast with it, it is getting worse by leaps and bounds. We usually say that we live in a developed world, but things like what you explain in the article show that we're wrong. In conclusion, we have to fight for the equality if we want that our children live in a better society.

  13. I will never understand because there are people who vote this kind of presidents,In my point of view a president is a person who try to improve the lifes of citizens and Bolsonaro for this reason doesn´t has the right profile to be a good president.

  14. I completely agree with Pablo, I think that nowadays society is suposed to progress and to create a fair world and not to go backwards just how the new president of Brazil is doing. The problem is not just that this person has horribles ideas about the woman or the people of other race, the real problem is that this person is going to be gobernating an entire country and that there's people that have voted for him to be their president. This situation is worrying and we all should ask ourselfs what are we doing wrong because we need to stop this before it is too late.

  16. I think the same as you, and that most people who read this blog. People like him make us rethink if we are really progressing in society; because for things like that, we destroy all those bricks that we built decades ago to get a little more of general equality. Although the worst thing is to see how those women fought for their rights, and for people like him, they see how all their struggle was in vain. I could summarize it in "Fear", fear to see how everything collapses, fear of not knowing what will happen ...

  17. I fully agree with your very interesting posts. We hear about very bad news such as this one nowadays. We can't be conformist and try to keep an eye on our world.

  18. Te hace pensar de si la humanidad realmente evoluciona... No se si se llegara a un grado de igualdad en si por que los temas que se intentan resuelver los que hoy en dia tenemos van a seguir apareciendo más como por ejemplo de estar resolviendo temas de acoso a cyberacoso o de estar resolvieno temas de bullying a ciberbullying ..
