Hello, welcome to this podcast, from the Canary Islands for those who aren't afraid to face history head-on.
This episode is not comfortable. It doesn't intend to be. Today I open pages that many would like to close: dictatorships that crushed voices, crimes hidden under flags, silences that still scream. You will hear testimonies, fragments of memory, and analyses that make you uncomfortable. Because to remember is to resist. Because forgetting is also violence.
Today I'm talking about something that doesn't happen suddenly, but silently, by decree, by omission: the dismantling of civil rights. What happens when the guarantees that sustain a democracy begin to erode? And why do some historians see disturbing echoes of 1930s Germany?
In the United States today there are:
- Voting restrictions: laws that limit access to the polls in racialized communities.
- Mass surveillance and criminalization of protest.
- Setbacks in reproductive, immigration, and LGBTQ+ rights.
- Use of the judicial system to consolidate political power.
- Rhetoric of “internal enemies” that justifies authoritarian measures.
If this story moved you, share it. If you believe there is something that should not be silenced, write to me. I'll talk again in the next episode.
