A little bit of Spanish History for proud Spanish people

[AUDIO COULD NOT BE FOUND]

"You say that love is not that easy
And that’s the lesson that you teach me
So hypocritical, overly cynical
I’m sick and tired of all your preaching"

It's not really rare to hear stupidities such as "Spain has been a really great nation until the 2008 crisis!" from people who can't really look beyond their nose. OK, it is true that Spain used to culturally destroy regions all over the world, but it doesn't really mean it was a "great nation". No, it has never been good as a nation: culturally, even America is far beyond Spain, and TV shows it quite well; nowadays, success in Spain is equal to dumbness and... overall, being a scumbag.

But let's focus on the twentieth century: Spain has suffered the most absurd dictatorship ever, established by the least charismatic being ever... which was FORTY YEARS LONG! Wow, next time this happens, let's let them rape our country a little bit longer, okay?

Can I puke already?

And people still forget the most funny parts! Did you know a nuclear bomb was thrown during that period? Yes, it's referred as The 1966 Palomares B-52 Crash, an "error" committed by the U.S. Air Force which led a nuke to be dropped near Murcia; an accident, of course! IT WAS NOT MADE TO SCARE ANY DICTATOR, NO, IT WAS JUST AN ACCIDENT! And everyone believed that and actually forgot it! Yay! The funniest part of all of it was by far when Spanish politicians bathed in Palomares to show people there was no danger (and THEY WERE NOT FORCED BY ANYONE, OF COURSE!)... By the way, that has NO RELATIONSHIP with radioactivity found in waters and fields in Murcia decades later!

OK, but the sixties and Franco are quite far from today, aren't they? Let's move to the 80's, concretely to 1983. From the mentioned year to 1987 Spain had a fun fun thing called Grupos Antiterroristas de Liberación or GAL, groups of para-policemen committing terrorism themselves to "stop the terrorists of ETA", led by the PSOE (the two most popular political parties in Spain are assassins, deal with it) and financed by important officials within the Spanish Interior Ministry.

And, once again, there's a political background behind these facts: terrorism was just an excuse, all they wanted to erase was Basque nationalist activism. Shame on you, PSOE.

But this is not really related to today, is it? Well, after the mentioned PSOE legislature, a PP (aka. children of Franco) legislature came out with a man called Aznar. What this man did was basically raising the housing bubble higher and higher so it could explode in the next president's face. And it did; in 2004, José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero, from PSOE, got covered with Aznar's sh*t and, a few years later, BOOM! CRISIS! And that's basically the reason why we're how we are right now, heh.

It is true that 1966 is the furthest I can rewind (my sources are limited!), but I wonder what would happen if someone spent some time on collecting and writing these things since much earlier... It would be very funny, I'm sure.

We live in Europe's stinky belly button, deal with it.
