Hispanic American Studies

Spain said NO to the United States, and the Americans lowered their heads. In 1806, 212 Spanish dragones de cuera stopped a U.S. expansionist expedition in its tracks. The "Wild West" wasn't a lawless frontier. It was a sophisticated, guarded Spanish empire. Here’s the real history of the cowboy: youtu.be/BISc6y6fIuM?si…

Reminder for everyone!

@Jargon_00 Lol

This is exactly how I feel about Logo Daedalus

@SGimenista_9 Linda sorpresa

Verastegui en la convención católica que es, en realidad, una convención anti israelí. Ahí está claro porque se bajó de la candidatura: Ya no es sionista.

Never in the unfolding drama of human civilization has the world witnessed a more staggering aura loss than whatever happened to white people after the Protestant Reformation

If Netanyahu is actually dead, who runs America now?

🇺🇸=🏳️‍🌈 Trump having to invoke the Muslim oppression of gays to justify the invasion of Iran truly goes to show that Woke™ globalism is the US Empire’s default method of ideological legitimization. In Spanish we say “aunque la mona se vista de seda, mona se queda”. Your McGoy’s Happy Meal was never going to come with a megabased trad crusade.

This gentleman, whom I was unaware of until now—a Moroccan, ex-Muslim, and now a convert to Evangelicalism—has decided to appeal to Netanyahu, the United States, and Israel to intervene in favor of Morocco's territorial claims over Ceuta and Melilla. It is worth reminding him of some basic historical facts. First of all, Melilla has been part of the political sphere of the Crown of Castile since the end of the 15th century. Its incorporation occurred in 1497, when the troops of the Duke of Medina Sidonia, led by Pedro de Estopiñán, occupied the stronghold. The city was practically abandoned and damaged by fires and internal conflicts; therefore, the takeover was carried out without bloodshed or significant battles. Furthermore, at an international level, the area had already been delimited a few years earlier by the Treaty of Tordesillas (1494) between Castile and Portugal, which established the division of areas of expansion and consolidated the Castilian presence in certain zones outside the peninsula. The treaty established that Portugal would have control to the west and south of Melilla, while Spain focused on the North African zone, including Melilla and the coastal strip across from the Canary Islands. On the other hand, the internal dynamics of North Africa at the time also explain what happened in Melilla. Various Christian and Mozarab communities settled in the area maintained tensions with the Sultanate of Fez, and this facilitated the integration into Castile. The chronicles even mention the collaboration of local notables who, after the Castilian arrival, adopted Christian names such as Andrés and Lorenzo de Melilla; this was also the moment when "Melilla" emerged as a surname. In any case, the fundamental fact is simple: Melilla has been linked to Spain for more than five centuries—long before the current Moroccan state even existed, as many of you well know. So, before repeating expansionist propaganda on Twitter, it would be wise to open a history book or, at the very least, search the internet. Because debating centuries of history without knowing them is not an opinion: it is simple ignorance. @OsculaInfame

Spain in 1492: Expelled, killed, or forcibly converted all Jews. Spain during the Holocaust: Closely aligned with the Nazis. Spain after the deadliest attack on Jews since the Holocaust: Accuses Israel of genocide. Spain last year: Refused to grant asylum to Palestinians fleeing Gaza. Spain after recognizing a Palestinian state: Refused to move its embassy to the Palestinian territories because its diplomats didn’t want to give up the “standard of living and security” they enjoyed in Israel. Spain last summer: Called the police to remove 50 French Jewish teenagers from a Vueling flight after hearing one word in Hebrew. Spain today: Officially withdrew its ambassador from Israel, but left its embassy in Tehran. Now that is what being on the wrong side of history looks like. 🤦‍♂️

@EdbieLigerSmith Omg Paris Baguette 💯

Was talking about this with a friend yesterday. If the empire collapses the DPRK will probably move to reunify Korea. At which point a battle will unfold between the they/them K-Pop army & disciplined Communist patriots. South Korea still has mandatory military service, but they’ve been so Westernized & lib pilled that even their military is producing videos like this. ⬇️ Hard to imagine that the South wouldn’t get smoked without direct involvement from the U.S. My only request is that the North nationalizes & maintains the existence of Paris Baguette because those pastries are fire.

@_CatholicWest What’s the name of that text?

Here's an English priest in the 1860s remarking on the strange contrast between interior and coastal cities

You gotta study history & geography to really know a place. The Catholic West was a narrow sliver along the coast with cities & places named after saints & Catholic things. Gold rush Anglos then populated interior & coast, and named their places things like Hell's Delight

Trump has been “PSOEizado”

@CTENC10 @negro_milano DIOS

@negro_milano Trump ha sido PSOEizado

[Catholic] Christianity is the only religion that demystifies temporal power. The Protestant heresy occurred, precisely, to re-sacralize temporal power; therefore, at its core, it is retrograde, returning political communities to the worst forms of Pharaohism or Caesarism.

En mayo de 1930 el viajero e influyente intelectual conde Hermann Keyserling - por entonces ya desposado con la nieta de Otto von Bismarck- afirmaba sobre la conquista española de América (en una conferencia a caballo entre la etnografia y la antropologia filosófica) que: «Los conquistadores españoles sintieron la preocupación de llevar en sus naves caballos, vacas y semillas porque eran preocupados a su vez por la tierra. Tan grande fue la influencia de este impulso, que logró hacer una raza de jinetes de los indios cuyos ascendientes no conocian los caballos (...). Hay una fuerza terrenal en los países de Sudamérica, que es un agente del instinto conservador. Hay allí más costumbres españolas que en España misma»

El caballo y la caballería como emblemas de la hispanidad en las Indias españolas:

@Iusetfides No conozco a John Rao

En Estados Unidos pocos católicos comprenden bien el problema del americanismo, la contaminación mental es tan grande que no se dan cuenta de su propia propaganda. Muy valiosos y valientes, Adrian Vermeule en el Derecho y John Rao en la historia de las ideas políticas.

@PinballWiz4rd @Iusetfides ??

@Iusetfides Do not trust Vermeule

@AugustineOTV It’s funny cause right above your post I see another mutual posting about Vasconcelos

@hispano_studies Yea I know

Why does the mestizo reject his identity? Why can’t he accept who he is? Why does he rather be something that he is not? El mestizo at times can be the most self-hating being, that discards all that his ancestors built. He rather chase disillusions than accept reality.

@AridoAmSubstack Nah Vasconcelos was based. A lil cooky… but most certainly based.

Half of modern internal Hispanic/Indigenous tensions is because of La Raza Cosmica. The logical end point means Spanish Lose, Indigenous Lose, Mestizos Lose. The state wins. The quicker Hispanics drop it the better. Why the fuck did they adopt pro Nazi anti indo Kalergi slop?

Spain was formed as a historical nation through its Reconquista against Islam, yes. But it was also formed in opposition to Judaism, specifically to the idea of a “chosen people” of God. That is why the expulsion of Jews and Moriscos was framed as a religious matter rather than an ethnic one, and why conversion to Catholicism was sought from both groups, with many indeed converting. Spain was also built in opposition to Protestantism, against what was seen as Lutheran irrationalism and against Calvinist predestination. For Hispanic Catholicism there are no chosen peoples; any person can come to know any kind of truth. Our universalism was rationalist both in theory, through Aristotelian-Thomist scholasticism, and in practice, through Spain reproducing itself in the Americas as “the Spains.” From this came sexual mestizaje. A “chosen people” does not mix. For that reason we are incompatible with the idea of the Islamic Ummah, which is also a form of “chosen people” even if not an ethnic one; with the Jewish idea of haʿam hanivḥar; with British Israelism; with Yankee Manifest Destiny; and with German National Socialism, which has been described by @AliciaMelchorHe as “Judaism for Gentiles.” In short, Spain was formed in opposition to every idea of an exclusionary community. @armesillaconde
