Write down what came to mind
I started talking and...
I started gaining followers with lots of interactions.
From that point...
I kept on talking
and commenting about all of these things
like the Blackface subject or feminism...
...collectivism, socialism...
or liberalism.
Not really, nothing in particular.
Well...
The controversy started because, in Alcoy,
there's a Three Wise Sages parade...
...where people use shoe polisher to paint their faces...
...and, well...
A magazine called "Afroféminas"
said that painting your face in black is racist.
And it is of course a tradition
which has been here for a long time
It's about three wise sages, two of them are white,
one of them is black and he has his emmisaries.
These emmisaries are painted black as well
but it is normal as there is no black people in Alcoy
This is why they painted their faces.
They want to forbid this because they say
"blackface" is racist.
Yes, the complains also come from political parties...
...and collectives...
...who say they find this
very offensive.
I don't know for sure but
it is not very high, not like the US.
I think all of this starts happening
thanks to the censorship
of P.C culture.
People starts getting outraged
at everything, so
anyone who may profit from it
builds some sort of group and
they start searching for things to be offended about.
It has happened with this issue
just as it happened with women and feminism here.
Everything is turning into
the "oppresion olympics games".
The one who's more offended
is the one who wins. So now,
this group "Afroféminas", they are women...
...and they are black as well, so
they are more oppresed than other women.
They even find offensive to disguise as a black person...
which is no big deal, just like
some men disguising as women, with high heels and purses
making fun of themselves and
"portraying" us as a ridiculous stereotype.
Same happens if you disguise as a Chinese person or whatever.
These collectives are only looking for
some sort of power
with these strategies
of calling everyone "racist" or "sexist"
They have found an opportunity in Alcoy's parade.
In English, we call it
"interseccionalidad"
In the movie "Tropic Thunder"
we have people like
Robert D. Junior...
...Jack Black and Ben Stiller.
In this movie
Robert D. Junior is "blackfaced"
but it is not racist because,
it's for a movie.
I think context is important,
it is related to the intention you have.
If you intent to mock black people, it's racism.
If your purpose is different,
something not related to mocking,
or insulting. If it's just a disguise
for a party, like in Alcoy
which is a party
made for kids.
They are excited to see them...
there's is no sign of mockery
or racist intent.
At no point there is an intention
to show black people as inferiors.
No racism anywhere.
It would be racist
if they made them look inferior
or making fun of them but it's not the case.
Yes, evidently, white people hasn't really
suffered any type of oppression but
what we cannot do
nowadays
we start doing these things.
Making fun of white men or white women
or start portraying us
as demonic beings, like it's happening.
I see it on Social Media.
"White folks are devils"
We haven't suffered that oppression but
it is hypocritical to complain
about the black race
being oppressed and
to try to solve it
you start being racist towards whites.
We need to reach a point where
not the "white man" or the "black man"
aren't racists anymore and people stop judging
others by the color of their skin.
But they keep doing it, instead of solving the problem
what they do is trying to "balance" the situation
and creating new problems.
It is hypocritical, yes.
In the US, we have someone
called Richard Spencer.
What do you think about him?
I don't know who he is.
Actually...
I have heard about the Alt-Right but
I have no idea about their white identity politics.
I know there are racists there
and they have this
thing of wanting to preserve
a "white identity" or...
something like that.
It looks like racism to me
or at least a weird collectivism
I don't know...
I'll tell you about what I know
I don't know much, I know it's a documentary
explaining the violence
that abused men suffer
from their partners,
generally women.
And I know that
they are trying
to censor this documentary.
Plenty of them are feminist groups who haven't seen it.
They don't know anything about the content of the documentary
but because it's men who are the victims there
they cannot tolerate its existence.
In a way, it makes their narrative fall apart
so they want to censor it.
They get quite violent
which is funny because they haven't seen it yet
and everybody knows there are male victims out there,
who have suffered from different
types of violence.
They have stories to tell and
having that documentary censored
to the public, almost everywhere
because feminist go to call them "sexists"
and call them other names
it's just proof that actually
these feminist groups are slowly
turning into groups which are focused
on man-hating.
They are not looking for equality.
I'm sure they have.
They have been attacking them wherever they could
I haven't seen it complete but I know
what the movie is about, I saw some fragments.
It is likely but
I keep seeing it as something
so visceral, so natural to them
so impulsive.
I don't know if they think about it
if it's an strategy or they simply
let the hate flow through them.
They have a victim complex
so they believe they are actual victims
even though they aren't
They think they can do and say
they can insult, criticise, or censor men
because they are the "bad guy".
They believe themselves
to have the right to do all these things.
To be violent and
to act as I described. I don't know
if they are copying feminists from other places or
just because they "are" victims they think they can have such power
As far as I know, they don't.
As far as I know.
I know they are people calling themselves
"masculinists".
But I don't know if they are organized.
They aren't as far as I know.
There has been some controversy on that subject
because there's a video against prostitution
called "Hola Putero".
It was made by some abolitionists
which want to put an end
to prostitution in this country.
So, these groups of people
they mistake human trafficking
for voluntary prostitution, which exists
and it has always existed.
What they want is
to put an end to that prostitution as well
giving the false idea it's human trafficking.
Women who have decided to be prostitutes,
who have other options but chose to be prostitutes
they are very angry because
the abolitionists never talk to them
to ask about prostitution, wonder about their needs
and which are the problems of prostitution.
Voluntary, of course.
We all want to get rid of human trafficking.
This is what happened.
There is another group, prostitutes who organized themselves
to make a video in response to the first one
which is called "Hola Abolicionista"
where they ask for conversations to inform them
and to ask them to stop talking in their name.
No.
As far as I know
prostitution here is legal
but there are things they cannot do,
there are restrictions.
To know more about the subject
you should talk to them about it.
When I talked about the subject
thinking that I knew how it worked they came
to correct me so I really don't know.
For example, in Twitter,
she followed me recently,
there's a girl called Natalia Ferrari.
She talks about this subject and
she is the one who corrected me
when I said it was illegal.
I do not defend prostitution
but I defend the freedom of individuals
to do whatever they want if they don't harm anybody.
So, if there are women who want to be prostitutes
and earn money having sex
nobody should have the power
to forbid them to do so
when they do it freely and harming nobody
as a profession.
The job itself is not an issue for me
if we were talking about any other job
I would think the same way, I just
believe people should be
free of doing whatever they want if they are not harming anyone.
The State or any other collective
shouldn't be deciding what we can or cannot do.
Yes, actually
I stand for freedom of speech,
completely. There should be no limits
when talking about expressing yourself. Threats are different.
Threats are not freedom of speech.
It's an attempt to actually
scare you, messing with your safety
but freedom of speech, talking about your ideas
no matter which ideas you are sharing
It's something
essential and even necessary.
People who get offended by
the ideas of other people
what they should actually be doing
instead of censoring
they should show arguments,
present counter-arguments and
try to convince that their ideas are better.
They should stop censoring because
when you try to censor you show
you are actually scared of their ideas,
you are being defeated by their ideas
because you are not able to prove them wrong,
or prove that you have better ideas.
Well...
It's starting to become limited but in a moral way now.
If you express yourself freely
and your ideas look different
from the mainstream opinions,
the opinions of the majority, then
they will come after you.
They won't actually come and
start presenting arguments or anything like that
they will come after you, they will insult you,
they will try to humiliate you,
and they will try to censor you so you shut up.
First, they will insult you
and they will say you are a bad person if you don't change,
and then they will humiliate you.
By now,
as far as we know,
We are suffering from censorship
but on a moral level, not that much
on a legal level, but it wouldn't surprise me
if things get worse.
When I started talking on Twitter,
I received so many insults...
and just because I disagreed
with the popular opinion.
Some people were willing to debate
and it is something to be thankful for but
there were so many of them just insulting
and even sending me threats.
A little bit of everything.
"Sexist"
"Fascist"
Very common, it has become
the typical insult for anyone
who is not a radical leftist.
For example, in my case, if I criticise
radical feminism...
I am not a sexist, when feminism is
about equal rights, I would call myself a feminist.
Of course I want equal rights.
I am an individualist though, so
I am less supportive of freedom in regards of gender
than supportive of freedom on an individual level,
regardless of who you are.
They call me "sexist" for that.
Absurd.
Same thing with "fascist".
If you criticise at some point
the political parties "Izquierda Unida" or "Podemos"
you become a "fascist".
It's that simple.
I have always been quite
an anti-feminist myself in regards
to the collectivist movements I've seen.
When I heard about individualistic feminism
or "liberal feminism",
I started supporting it of course
because I want equal rights as a woman.
Of course, I am "anti-male-supremacy" (anti-sexism)
I think every woman is.
I am not really one of those activists
for women's rights.
I am just the type of feminist
who wants equal rights for everyone.
I've never been an activist.
Who's your inspiration?
Christina H. Sommers? Or...
Who?
I liked something I read from Camille Paglia.
I think that's her name
She's very realistic.
She says "the world is dangerous".
"Modern feminist has turned into a tantrum
coming from grown women
who want the world to adapt to them
and their needs instead of
being aware of the dangers of the world"
I like her in that aspect.
She's not a "cry baby" feminist.
She's not trying all the time
to keep living inside her "safe bubble.
The world is dangerous and
everyone should be aware of this,
no matter your gender.
In a way,
it's like spreading over
people who are already in a different situation.
Traumatizing them, we could say
because
they are reflecting the problems
our ancestors had but you don't
because you are a different person
in a different situation and
they are sharing it as if it had something to do with you
so you can keep suffering from
something that doesn't affect you, it's not your pain.
I think this is something that places limits to people
instead of helping them.
Ok.
I'm not an expert on this subject,
so I'll give my perspective on this.
My personal opinion.
It happened as it follows:
As you know, separatists want to be
an independent country.
They tried to do it by
disobeying the Constitución (breaking the law)
for that reason, an article from said Constitución
in order to stop them
from declaring the independence
by force.
So, with the article, people could
vote again, in December.
With this, everyone could vote legally,
and show what the people want, but ALL the people,
not just the separatists who were the only ones
voting in the illegal referendum.
About the independence...
well... it is something that
should be decided legally.
Pro-independence people say
that they will never to separate legally, but
they won't be able to do it illegaly...
either.
So...
This is what actually happened, it's become drama.
Too much drama actually.
Some days ago there was this thing going on
about something called Tabarnia, I don't know if you heard.
It was a joke related to the fact that
Barcelona and Tarragona
voted against the independence (non-separatist parties).
So the joke goes along the lines of
Barcelona and Tarragona wanting to be separated
from the rest of Catalonia
or keep being Spanish.
They are using the same arguments
the separatists were using against Spain.
As I said, I'm no expert
but if you wanted to share my opinion
this is what I think.
Yes.
There's always people like that,
both in Spain and in Catalonia.
Some pro-independence people
are really into absurdity so
they share some theories...
which are crazy.
They say that America
should actually speak Catalonian
because there were Catalonians arriving there...
You can hear...
plenty of things like these.
Stupid people are everywhere,
in all different colors.
It's unavoidable.
I have no idea about the signs,
I don't think so, but when it comes to talking there's no problem.
Problems always come from
radical groups but from both parts
Spanish and Catalonians.
They feel they are rivals so
they always try to make you feel bad about what you do
but it's not like that in general.
Sadly, everyone who follows an ideology
ends up indoctrinating people so
they do it like everyone else.
I have seen them.
I dislike everything related to indoctrination,
especially when it's related to children.
What makes no sense is,
in the "Jordis" subject,
is seeing them on top of police cars
with the megaphones
and expect no consequences. There's law.
If they don't follow it
why would the citizens follow it?
It would be chaos.
We have a Constitución and
we have to follow it.
I do think it could be changed but not this way.
Well
These people who say
that there's like
a feminism which says
that the veil is empowering
I think they're stupid.
What I see here
is an evident oppression,
where women have no right to decide
and she's not equal.
We should be criticising this,
be it Islam, be it Christianity or whatever.
If this is related to Islam, we should criticise it either way.
Then again it happens, we go back
to the whole oppression subject...
"Poor them, they've been oppressed" and such
"You can't criticise them"
So people don't speak frankly
and there's lots of hypocrisy going around.
For me, the whole Islam subject,
is a very anti-feminist thing.
Horrible.
There was a woman called Ann
I think she was black,
she was mutilated and
she wants to reform Islam,
which I don't know if it's even possible, even if there are some reformists
but they are always the most attacked
by the radicals so...
To start with
I think they are very brave because
messing with Islam,
takes guts.
I don't know if they
will actually achieve anything but
messing with Islam is
something quite dangerous.
My Twitter account is @anisokoria
with a "k"
and it's the only Social Network I'm in at the moment.
Maybe in the future, yes.
Thank you very much and goodbye.
