It is impossible to resist this wonderful tweet with which @TirodeGraciah commented on the invitation of the priest of the paranormal, Íker Jiménez, to the YouTuber Roma Gallardo to explain live, on his television show, about the suspicion that he was going to launch a Fraud of the law by requesting a sex change to denounce the cats of the Trans law: “Eighteen years on the air and finally a ghost appears in the program”.
It is pure tweet art, a spherical, succinct and devastating disqualification disguised as flattery. When Twitter disappears due to the incomparable management of Elon Musk, we will not miss the videos or threads, which will appear in any other format. We will miss this carelessness and this exquisite precision.
Gallardo, who in his own right is well known for being convinced of being the voice of “the boatman’s truths”, is your sister’s husband on Christmas Eve with half a bottle of cava in his body, so he is always right, except when he’s wrong.
The problem of putting Gallardo together with Jiménez, like putting Mario Vaquerizo and Isabel Díaz Ayuso together, is that one can feel the temptation – difficult to mitigate – that the world is orderly, that it is most natural for those who want pain to live together to death with those who distrust the science of vaccines, claim that there is something called “plandemic”, believe that there are haunted houses, use the güija, look for underground water holding two sticks in their hands, chase UFOs in the nights of autumn and they are convinced that there are men in black who throw the shepherds who have had biblical contact with the aliens down the ravines.
And what’s more, they also think it’s a shame that the Animal Welfare law allows – which it doesn’t – the carnal act between species, but not with gray extraterrestrials with bulging eyes, who are already eager to get fisted and speciesist with the sex
When a Gallardo appears on the screen trying to ridicule the rights of groups historically persecuted, mistreated and obliterated, such as the trans group, it is tempting to believe that all the atrassism, superstition and pre-enlightened thinking coexist in an intelligent coven intellectual based on suspicion and demagoguery, giving each other the right and proclaiming themselves paladins of an evidence that “the power” or “the system” tries to hide to prevent everything from exploding when the humanity knows “the truth”.
The 18th century does not meet for dinner. That is why it is appropriate to call for calm. Even if it doesn’t seem like it, the world is not simple and it is not ordered, and the enemies of rationalism are not all the day nor are they all of the same gang. As Scott Adams said, we are all idiots. It just changes how much time per day.
