For some strange reason I feel we and Real Madrid are much, much closer than before,
or much closer than I thought. Yes, no more mes un que club scheisse.
This feeling disgusts me.
That's human psychology.
People always have two desires/urges:
1) ego = look at your own ass
2) protection from others in case of a danger
Now I will write three simple examples to see how humans change their skin based on what their ass needs:
1) Barca vs Real = in times of piece, and when there is no bigger threat to your life, then Barca and Real are the biggest enemies.
But now look at this:
2) imagine if, a foreign army attacks both Spain and Catalonia.
Let's say if Germans attack them.
= in that case, your life is at threat and a survival is more important than on-field rivalry between Barca and Real.
In that case, former arch enemies Barca and Real will unite and fight against a bigger threat = German army in this case.
But, look at this:
= in that case, German's are the biggest threat to Barca.
But what if suddenly aliens attack Earth during Germany vs Spain war?
Who is now the bigger threat: Germans or aliens?
= aliens, of course.
And now, suddenly, Barca & Real & Germany will unite in the fight against the biggest threat = aliens.
= so, safety is more important than ego in tht case.
But it also works backwards:
4) during the fight vs aliens, Spain and Germany will be friends.
But if we win against aliens, we might eventually again start to fight with Germans since there is no bigger threat.
5) and if, let's say Spain and Catalonia win against Germans, for a few years Spain and Catalonia will be friends, but over time (without larger threats in Germans or aliens), Catalonia might ask for an independence again and a hate between Spain and Catalonia may grow again.
= ego is now more important than safety since there are no threats to our lives so we can fight between eachother.
Now apply the same rules for Perez and Laporta.
In happy times, Barca and Real are enemies.
But in tougher times, when we don't have money for survival, we will unite with Real and fight against a greater evil: Uefa.
In a nutshell, this is human's wired behavior and psychology and this is why politicians, Ceos, owners and everyone are assholes and you
can't trust anyone because they will stab you in the back when they'll no longer need you.
