A short time ago, I was looking for information in Spanish and I found myself by chance with a cartoon about political speeches that gave me enough things to think about, at the time I wrote a post about it, but I didn't have much interaction and I would like to try again , but now in another language.

When I saw this, I thoughtful about how the political speeches I have heard recently are not really great pieces of oratory, intended to mark the story , but rather a lot of absurdities that are often pointless and full of falsehoods that impress me, not so much because they dare to say them, but because they manage to start passionate applause from the people who are the audience of these political speeches.

It is not the situation I expected to find, but with the rise of anti-politics during the last decade of the 20th century, the postmodern posture of ambivalence between the truth and the lie of the great speeches, the demagogy runaway and the Populism of the 21st Century and other things, result in that I need to refresh what would be expected to be a political speech.

Political speech. It deals with three factors: the forms of organization of power, obedience and dominion. The policy can be analyzed through a series of categories, concepts and reality measurement systems.
The Political Speech is a political practice, important for the creation of consensus for argumentation. The development of political discourse has to do with the political culture of the country, as it conditions the discourse and adapts to the changes in society.

Already with the second paragraph of the appointment I can hit my head against the wall for a while, I mean, it is enough to be disappointed and want to hit my head to see if I am the one who is wrong and I need a little blow to understand, as if it were an old television or radio receiver from the time of grandparents. But no, I think it's not me.

It is assumed that the speeches should serve to argue and thus manage to resolve the differences between the factions present in any human group, in a way that does not need to reach physical violence, psychological violence or any type of violence, but what I have to Listening in several recent cases is something close to fallacies, cheeky lies and proclamations of dangerous ignorance ...

And yet, my dear fellow citizens choose these people for positions of power ... and then complain and say that it is not their fault, that they were deceived, that they lied to them ... But, if they had paid a minimum of attention to what They were telling them they would have known that they were lying brazenly. I do not remember who it was that said that those who choose thieves to govern them are not victims but accomplices, but each time I believe more than their phrase is very accurate.

Given all this, I find it absurd that banal and empty political discourses continue and the population continues to give its full support.

Isn't all this absurd?
