I need to read more articles from around that time to put a smile on my face.
Although not too many, as they will start going into "and we gave collaborators of the fascist regime a slap on the wrist, as 10% of the population are fascists, and we can't jail them all and have a functioning society"
and two generations later, there’s a non-negligible population of gamer-forum dudes without girlfriends who think that the Franco years were a lost golden age to RETVRN to
I wasn't even specific about Spain/Franco, also, there's the (Spanish language?) meme about "recuerdas que dice abuelo"/"la dictadura era el mejor cosa que pasó al este paÃs de mierda".
(Now now sweety, remember what grandpa says/the dictatorship was the best thing to happen to this piece of shit country)
