Discussion
After three weeks of protest camps in the squares of Spain, the protesters have consistently maintained a cheerful and peaceful attitude in the different spanish squares.
This is despite frequent threats of violence from Nazi groups. The protesters have formed protective cordons to safeguard the camp and the other protesters.
Today, 12O, has been more tense than usual
I will explain the context in this thread.

... as it is the flag that the dictator imposed during the coup d’état and the subsequent dictatorship.
But it is precisely this narrative and this flag that the far-right Spaniards love so much.
So the people who go to that patriotic parade, or carry the Spanish flag, are only those on the far right.
And that flag represents nothing but hatred: hatred of women, hatred of LGBTQI+ people, hatred of migrants, denial of historical memory, denial of climate change, and so on....
So today, following the military march, there were threats from Nazi groups organised via social media against the people camped in Sol Square who are protesting for the right to housing.
So we did what we do best: look after, support and protect.
That is why a protective cordon of thousands of people has been formed around the protest camp.
The Nazis, carrying their Spanish flags, were walking past us.
At best, they gave us dirty looks; at worst, they hurled insults or tried to attack us.
Initially, the protective cordon was made up of young people. But older people have gradually joined us to show their support.
The aggressors had very few arguments; the one they repeated most often was: ‘Go to work!’
But they forgot that a) today is a public holiday; b) most of the protesters already work and are taking turns to camp out; and c) even if we do work, we cannot afford housing.
@CorioPsicologia So why did the Spanish join forces with the Tlaxcalans, Cempoalcans, Totonacs, Texcocans, Huejotzincans, Cholultecs, and Xochimilcans, among others, against the Mexica?
How can they colonize a territory and supply them with supplies and teach them about economics, political hierarchies, and build universities in the main capitals, in addition to creating new towns and cities?
Did they also colonize what is now the United States? Did the other countries do nothing?
@Laura_H93 Laura, creo que tienes mucho que aprender.
Sí, se llama colonizar, y siempre hay grupos poderosos que permiten la entrada de colonizadores externos para mantener sus privilegios. Si te apetece buscar, puedes buscar "teoría de la dependencia".
Todas esas cosas que supuestamente "les dimos" es la propaganda que nuestro Estado ha hecho durante años para ocultar la otra parte: el extractivismo, los genocidios, la imposición cultural y lingüística, y los saberes que aniquilamos.

Today, 12O, it is the national holiday, which most of us Spaniards find shameful because it is celebrated from a colonialist and militarist perspective.
The people who suffered our historic colonialism, as Latin American People says: nothing to celebrate #nadaquecelebrar . And most of the Spanish people agree.
Furthermore, if you know a little history, a red and yellow flag is being glorified that does not represent us ...
