How brutality became culture and normality in Guayaquil and the Ecuadorian coast, and how deceit and lies became culture and normality in Quito and the Sierra or both in the Ecuadorian Amazon.
In the Sierra, lying became a culture and normality, just like theft, because the Holy Inquisition and the Holy Mother Catholic Church forced the Indians to live in lies since the Indians identified Christ with the Sun God or INTI and the Virgin Mary with the goddess PACHAMAMA, but she made the priests believe that the one they adored was Christ and Mary.
Then all the prayers and songs as well as the processions, or other rituals, such as the passing of the child, and the baptisms had another meaning in the indigenous and in the mestizo-indigenous, who were the majority of the population since the whites and the mestizo -whites were the minority, the difference, the strange, in this place in the Northern Andes.
In addition, the Spaniards and their legitimate children, as they were known, the Chapetones and Criollos, generally landowners who divided up the lands of the indigenous people, but also forced them to live on the haciendas, and even forced the women to give birth The sons of the bosses were given small pieces of land to make orchards and raise animals. because there was no salary, but the eternal debts of the so-called INDIAN CONCERTS, because the concertaje was an institution that tied the indigenous people for life to the so-called ENCOMENDEROS or patrons, who had the obligation to teach them the Catholic Faith but also forced the indigenous people to get into debt and to pay for generations, that is, the great-great-grandchildren paid the debts of their great-great-grandparents. Something similar to the external debts of our countries today.
In order to eat, especially milk, meat, or eggs, the Indians had to hide the patron, his birds, animals, or eggs, and even lie to the priest to whom they had to take these products as tithes or first fruits. So the whites, the chapetones, and the criollos said in their conversations that INDIO QUE NO ROBA SINS, but they had stolen the lands of the Indians, and in addition, they stole their work, their women, and even their animals or crops, but this robbery it was something legal, established as law through laws such as TITHES OR FIRST FRUITS or THE RIGHT OF LEG, which forced virgin adolescents to go through their masters' pants to be deflowered.
This is how the culture of lies and theft was created in the Sierra and the Amazon of Ecuador.
On the other hand, on the Coast, the Church did not have a greater incidence. The populations were very dispersed, the peasants were semi-nomadic, like the fishermen, since they moved from one place to another after droughts or floods, and later from one hacienda to another, when the harvest or harvest times came. fishing.
Since the arrival of the Spanish Conquistadors, the brutality of pests, which were cruel in the tropics, like the pirates who frequently appeared, or the way landowners and politicians took care of their properties or their lives, which was through thugs, murderers, what we now call hired assassins, was part of the normality.
The women on the Coast were taken by force, even robbed, the men ended up a week in a bar, injured or killed because the machete and the knife were part of the hand and their skillful use was the way to end a dispute, and even a simple party.
Until today, on the Coast, men boast of the women they have impregnated and the children they have scattered everywhere, or of the dead, they carry ahead.
Impunity has been part of the modus vivendi of the Ecuadorian Coast and Amazon for 500 years, where the indigenous people tend to camouflage themselves with paint and foliage to hunt, they have turned to hidden intentions, to surprise, to deadly violence against animals or against other human beings part of their culture. Killing someone they considered an enemy, and forcing another family to hand over their daughters to a warrior of the family or tribe, was part of the norm. The prestige was in the number of women under his surveillance and the number of enemies he had killed.
Interestingly, Rafael Correa became a focus that attracts the butterflies of the mountain night, that is, the liars and traitors, starting with his former vice president Lenín Moreno and the 50 assembly members who betrayed him since 2017.
Guillermo Lasso, on the other hand, is a focus that attracts the butterflies of the coastal night, which are the criminals, murderers, hired assassins, drug traffickers, or extortionists from the Coast, who now have him busy on 911 in Guayaquil and Esmeraldas.
