Oye Sherman (Maria Rovira) tells Àlex Gutiérrez that “anything you say out of pure common sense is woke”. In fact, just using the first part of the subject of the sentence could title an article, and even a whole book: “Anything you say”.Literally, what the scoundrels say now. And it is that things are like this: someone says “Good morning” and immediately someone jumps in with “Good morning will be for you, how you can tell you live off the system”, or with “Good morning? Don't you see it's raining?”. We have fully integrated that the cultural battle is played out at every turn and that, today, more important than what is said is who says it. Result: either you stop saying “Good morning”, in which case a voice is lost in the public square, or you continue saying it because you don't give a damn what the bitter ones, the professional offenders, or the haters say, in which case the incentive for debate in the same square is lost.It is also true that it is not the same anything you say as saying anything. If you send a primary message, you can't normally expect an elaborate response. Provocateurs are in their element. You only have to listen to the immense majority of political messages to see that they are constructed to annoy the adversary and not to leave them indifferent, and of course, if you throw a stone with the intention of hitting the mark, there will be a queue to pick it up and throw it back at you.We have lost the taste for considering the argument that tests ours, because this makes us feel insecure and, on the other hand, we have incorporated the taste for reading between the lines, because this makes us feel clever. So we end up overinterpreting any message, and naturally humor and irony have passed on to a better life. Despite everything, and more so today, Easter Monday, may we have a good day.

The author of the black comedy Riders of Justice He teams up with the actor again. Mads Mikkelsen to construct another bewildering mix of film genres and tones. The protagonists of the story are two brothers who seem to have been taken from different films: Anker is a tough man who belongs to a thriller The criminal, while the ultrasensitive Manfred could inhabit a drama about the challenges of autism spectrum disorder. Manfred has been guarding the loot from a robbery while Anker was in prison, but, when the two meet again, the former claims that he is John Lennon and that he knows nothing about any hidden money.

In December 1935, Jaguar presented its first car in London, called the SS Jaguar Type 00. 90 years later, the British brand is experiencing one of the most uncertain moments in its history, with a commercial repositioning that generates more doubts than certainties and development and electrification plans that neither the general public nor the specialized press have finished.

"The extreme right represents the reaction against a left woke which has perhaps gone too far." This commonplace is not normally used to introduce a debate about the Left and the challenges it faces, such as reconciling the defense of individual identities and universality, or like the debate around the uncritical importation of concepts from an Anglo-Saxon postmodernism that feels a lack of the complexity of the complexity of complexity. made by the thick beak of the contemporary Left that consolidates a powerful idea instrumental in the rise of the extreme Right: the existence of a supposed cultural hegemony (what the extreme Right calls Cultural Marxism) of a condescending and authoritarian Left that imposes a new unnatural morality on the average citizen. YouTubers and influencers, there are a number of opinion makers in the traditional media, disguised asenfants terribles although they are often over sixty and have had their lives sorted out for years, who complain that freedom is threatened by the wokismIt is common for the same people who make fun of the "offended woke"They find it intolerable that a feminist corrects them or that someone suggests some formula of "inclusive newspeak", often trying to convert, in the name of exasperating narcissism, their daily pettiness into definitive proof that there are legitimate reasons to rebel. woke and good-natured that violates their freedom.

We think that with Trump's antics we're rediscovering America, the one hidden behind the illusions of the Democratic Party and Hollywood, but perhaps we're discovering our own limits. What has shocked me most in recent months hasn't been the antics of the POTUS or his eccentric mentor, Elon Musk, but the general public's boycott of Disney's new film, Snow WhiteThe rerun no longer tells us how values have changed since 1937, but how many more changes in values we can tolerate. Because now it's not Trump who's proposing a regression: now it's the public itself. And what worries me most is that I, possibly, include myself.

In recent days I have read in this newspaper several papers referring to the universe woke, the culture of complaint, etc. Without any intention of starting a controversy – I have not had any interest in being right for some time, either in this or in anything else – I would like to make some clarifications in the form of notes, which are naturally debatable.

The term woke It has been a weapon in the hands of the extreme right for years. Donald Trump, Elon Musk and Javier Milei use it without complexes to attack a sector of the left that, in his opinion, intends to put minorities ahead of majorities. The use of woke In a pejorative sense, it has also landed in Catalonia. The PP, Vox and Aliança Catalana –and social networks– have adopted it to disqualify policies in defense of LGBTI and racialized groups that, in Catalonia, have been implemented when Esquerra, from the Generalitat, and the Comuns, in the Barcelona City Council, have governed. Even Junts has joined the bandwagon and in the draft of its political report it even raised the need to battle against "thought" woke– the militancy amended it and, in the final version, the word appears goodism–. Why?

Woke has become the preferred insult of the new extreme right, from Trump to Ayuso. If you are concerned about social inequalities and discrimination based on identity – sexist, racial, linguistic or whatever – you have already screwed up. You are woke up, a naive, an outcast who has had his brains brainwashed by communist radicals and who doesn't know what life is about. Life is about triumph, about power, about the freedom to do whatever you want. The poor should get their act together and the different, starting with the immigrants, have only come to piss us off and take advantage of our good nature. What's this nonsense about worrying all day about minorities? And the majorities, what? And the normal, what?
