January.- Among the broad range of “cyber-haters,” the RENEGADES stand out as the most furious. According to Iroel Sánchez, this was because every day they had to take on the stressful task of trying to wash away their past.
I believe that within that rage there is something more: the disappointment with themselves for having no principles, because a person without principles is a soul in decomposition.
What the RENEGADES seem to forget is that the past they try to wash away had witnesses.
I knew many of them, those with whom I worked and studied. I saw them intoxicated with Revolution at Open Tribunes; shouting insults at the officials of the then SINA who appeared during the marches for Elian or the Five; I saw them with a lump in their throat telling a personal anecdote about Fidel; I saw their fiery interventions at meetings of the FEU and UJC: “Comrades, what would Mella or José Antonio Echeverría say if they saw that attitude?”
In short, an endless list. Worse yet, I saw many opportunistically asking for houses, cars, and trips, which… they were given.
When I see them on social networks, foaming at the mouth, I have to laugh, but afterwards I am overcome with feelings of pity and secondhand shame.
No, RENEGADES, the past cannot be washed away, and your luck is that on this side there is ethics.
