Our Self: Um blogue desalinhado, desconforme, herético e heterodoxo. Em suma, fora do baralho e (im)pertinente.

Pensamento em curso: «Em Portugal, a liberdade é muito difícil, sobretudo porque não temos liberais. Temos libertinos, demagogos ou ultramontanos
de todas as cores, mas pessoas que compreendam a dimensão profunda da liberdade já reparei que há muito poucas.

¡No Pasarán! passed away

I discovered the blog Merde in France in 2003, if I'm not mistaken, and I mentioned it for the first time here. The blogger was an American living in France with whom I shared some ideas, which is why I included his blog on my short list, and he did the same.

A few years later, the blog was closed and replaced by the blog ¡No Pasarán!, apparently because its author returned to the US. A few more years passed and ¡No Pasarán! converted to MAGA and I stopped following it regularly, although it remained on my list of blogs. Reading it became increasingly painful because an intelligent person justified stupid ideas and promoted people who defended those ideas, although more recently with visible reluctance and therefore focused more on attacking MAGA's enemies than on defending its followers.

I discovered a few days ago that, after two or three weeks without posting anything, ¡No Pasarán! was removed from Blogspot and I dare to think that its author finally concluded that continuing to justify MAGA , its ideas and its people was in fact an insult to his and our intelligence.
