Give me Spanish brainworms to troll with please (hexbear.net)

I'm on this server in a game and the Spanish guild is 4 times the size of every other guild on the server and also they're assholes.

What topics can I drop into worldchat that will probably cause issues among them?

I know fuck all about ways to be a wrecker with the spanish. What will make spanish people mad at other spanish people? Ideally they end up hating each other and split.

Update: The #1 killscore player on their group has now taken to regularly spamming "parla catala o emigrate" into worldchat. This is probably going to rub somebody the wrong way so things are going smoothly for day 1 of my op.

Imagine being fan of real madrid club de franco? (close to catalonia trolling, but more divisive).

Also, their disgraced former king is up to mountains of women in dubai (unless i mistake monarchs)

Do you have some context for this that might help me better understand it when using it?

Real madrid is widely hated by all spanish people outside of madrid and plastics (which young people might be so ymmv)

https://thesefootballtimes.co/2017/09/27/real-madrid-and-the-franco-regime/

the gist is this, they ignited rivalry with barcelona during his reign (with almost certainly shenanigans in 11-1 game), and then, later, were wildly successful (more than man u for example), so trolling that they were pet team (getting favors and money) of fascist dictator is a good bit (your most famous team is pet project of a fascist etc)

During the war, Bernabéu fought on the side of Francisco Franco's Nationalists under the general Agustín Muñoz Grandes.

(relevancy is that real stadium in madrid is named after him)

He is, lol. but I think some right-wingers hate him because he dismissed a bunch of far-right francoists for liberal and conservatives, and because he was against the 1981 coup (there are some theories he was in favor, but decided to betray the coup leaders for an easy political gain with the Liberals, Socdems and Communists) and went live on TV to mock the coup leaders. He basically made illegal to arrest him, and he made a bunch of liberal things. Eventually he basically gave up on being the head of state and let the socdems govern for him while he went on a world trip doing money laundering and hanging out with hookers.

It would have to be repackaged in like "imagine paying taxes for your king debauchery, you are like 17th century peasant". (being a brit here presents some glass houses issues tbh)

Young male shitheads might just think he is a legend otherwise
