The Catalans experienced a sort of stage 3-4 Culture Cancer in their past.

Between 1939 and 1975 Catalonia was under the dictatorship of Franco. A terrible idiot ruling over the entire Spain, but who was particularly anti Catalonia and anything that has to do with Catalonia. He was violent and banned the Catalonian language, alongside other languages in Spain. Only the Spanish language was accepted!

No one in Catalonia was allowed to write books in Catalan, even speak Catalan. They were under a complete siege. A total destruction of their culture is what this douchebag wanted.

In one of the Catalonian towns they shouted: “Catalan dogs! You are not worthy of the sun that shines on you.”

Needless to say Franco’s hatred against Catalans was nuclear. Many got killed, most of them oppressed and imprisoned. Fear, anxiety, how the fuck can you live like this?

Luckily after nearly 4 decades of terror that idiot died and with him his powers. Catalonia regained its culture, language, institutions, a regional independence and so on. For several decades they have tried to unglue themselves from this Spaniffication.

As you can see there was a lot of trauma when it comes to the people living in Catalonia.

So maybe this is the reason why some people in Catalonia are so desperate to hold onto their language and culture, and as a result marginalize the outsiders?

Another example of stage 2-3 Culture Cancer is that of the occupation of West Bank by Israel. They have literally caged in a group of people, like you would do with livestock for consumption.

On top of that some people from the Israeli tribe are forcefully taking the land from the West Bank residents, beating, mocking them, even murdering them.

An example:

One of the Israeli settlers “hoarding” a Palestinian woman, mocking her as if she is a cattle. And filming all at the same time. Did I mention that he is holding a riffle?

In the video you can see him making the same noises that the Palestinians make to hoard their animals. The Israeli leaders tolerate and even encourage this behavior.I recommend these two documentaries to see the insane cancerous situation between Israel and the West Bank:

No Other Land - videoneat.com/documentaries/26…
Louis Theroux: The Settlers - videoneat.com/documentaries/26…

These are examples of a stage 2-3 Culture Cancer. It has spread significantly and it is hard to tackle. Thus it has a great influence over a population of people who can turn violent against each other.

EVERY TEN MINUTES | Saving the Aquatic Warbler

Once widespread across Europe, this tiny migratory bird has suffered a dramatic decline as its wetland habitats disappear. But across Lithuania, conservationists are fighting back — restoring wetlands, managing the landscape, and giving this endangered species a chance to survive.

This is the story of one of Europe’s most threatened songbirds — and the people working to save it.

I consider what is happening in Catalonia as an example of stage 0 Culture Cancer. Post cancerous. Localized, mostly treatable.

The Catalans are quite angry at the “outsiders” who do not put in the effort to learn Catalan, or care about the Catalan culture and community. They try to forcefully speak Catalan regardless if the others understand or not, and refuse to speak Spanish at times. They marginalize the outsiders and create a tense situation.

And the “outsiders” hate the Catalans and their “tribalistic” and rude attitudes. Or simply do not give a fuck about Catalonia in general, and whatever is happening there, making the locals even angrier at them.

The mix is anger, discomfort, separation, marginalization. From both sides.

However, this cannot be too much of a generalization. This is mostly happening in smaller villages from my knowledge, or very touristic regions.

Most people in Catalonia seem to be nice and decent people overall. Most will speak Spanish if you only know Spanish. My doctor even speaks English just to make it easier for me, even if is a bit harder for her. Granted she is not even from Catalonia. But she tries to speak Spanish, Catalan, and English.

However you do feel a tension between the Catalans and the rest.

You just feel it…

The height of the hypocrisy of holding tight to your own culture and land is the fact that ALL inventions, research and human knowledge that is at the basis of any society, all of that comes from people from all around the world.

Without the British Isaac Newton we would not understand how objects move on this planet, maybe we would be unable to build many of the infrastructure of our modern cities.

Nuclear energy, modern cosmology, or GPS technology would not be possible without the US German immigrant Albert Einstein who studied in Switzerland.

Would we have telescopes or even the modern science without the Italian Galileo Galilei? Or medicine and healthcare without the French Louis Pasteur?

The Internet, gadgets, buildings and blueprints, discoveries and experiments, are all a mush of work being done by humans from all around the world, from different tribes. So it is astonishingly hypocritical and primitive to “hold onto your own tribe, your own culture” as if you did anything for it or it belongs to a particular group of people.

Ideas revolving around religion, family, sexual orientation, and so forth, have been changing and mutating a lot over the years. What was once prohibited in one culture has become the norm in the same culture, and vice versa. From women being allowed to vote, to gay marriage, or the separation of religion from state. In our book “Morality and Ethics” we showcase how the norms, traditions and what it was accepted as “normal” in the past, changed over millennia, from culture to culture.

Therefore any discussion about “our culture, language, traditions” should always be put under the powerful light of history in order to understand that these “things” are remixes at best, and will always be. This, I think, is crucial in order for us, humans, to be able to have relevant discussions about them, without being too emotionally entangled with them. To put everything into a historical, and realistic, perspective.

Here's something new that I learned. In Spain, and likely everywhere else:

You get sick, say you bleed abundantly from a surgery that went wrong, and you have to stay in ER for a day to have you fixed. You lose a lot of blood and need to stay at home for a few days because you cannot work.

So: stress, trauma, money spent to go to the hospital, others helping you, etc..

The hospital gives you medical leave, as is normal.

Great? No.

Guess what?

First few days you do not get paid from work. The next weeks you get 65% of the salary.

So you are fucked health wise and in this system apparently is normal to not even get paid from your job...I mean you can't fucking work even if you want to, and you can't even get any help.

I cannot work because I bleed...
Oh..ok no problem here medical leave.
Thanks. Oh wait and I also lose money because I lose blood?
Yah...if you don't work, you cannot get paid...
But...but I cannot work for a few days...I need help...
Yah. Well. That is the law. Take care!

If this does not sound insane to you, you have a serious problem. You are part of the problem actually.

INSANE!

This Trade-Based Society is just that: Trade. All else does not matter. People's lives are measured in trading hours.

Go to sleep humans, you are nowhere near an intelligent society. You are the most primitive dominant form of life on any planet probably.
