How does a former empire recover from its collapse? It doesn't. Look at Spain 🇪🇸. Spain simply sat down on a bench for a quick siesta at 2:30 PM in 1650, drifted into a 3-century coma, & woke up to discover it was now a budget hotel for the British working class. The fall of the Spanish Empire is the most spectacular geopolitical nose-dive in human history. They went from being the terrifying "Sword of Christendom"—the nation that owned the Americas, the oceans, the Vatican, Austria, Germany, and Belgium—to being a country whose primary contribution to the modern world is "Ibiza", Zara, and tapas. Ok, I'm exaggerating a bit... But you get the picture. The tragedy of Spain isn't that they lost their empire; it’s that they became the servants of the people they used to bully. For two hundred years, the Spanish Infantry was the scourge of Europe, a terrifying machine of war that crushed Protestants for sport. Today? The descendants of those hardened tercios are frantically inflating banana boats for drunk German tourists in Mallorca. Spain possessed the greatest windfall in economic history: they looted an entire continent of its gold and silver. And what did they do with it? Did they build industry? Did they invest in infrastructure? No. They spent it all on fancy churches and wars they lost, then defaulted on their national debt thirteen times. They are the lottery winners of history who blew it all on cocaine and porcelain figurines and are now living in a trailer. Spain proves that you can be given the keys to the world and still manage to lock yourself out of the house.

Sabéis que el Getafe - Elche este de fútbol americano no le importa a nadie , ¿No?

No, lo siento. El Reguetón es de hecho el exotismo de la cultura latina en su versión mas decadente para satisfacción de los Europeos y Gringos. La musica "clasica" fue en general creada como forma de rebelión y de llevar cultura a las masas. El contexto histórico importa.

Ni con Sísifo fueron tan cabrones...
