Xenophobia is a direct indicator of social decay. In every African country where you see populations turning violently against foreign nationals, what you are actually seeing is a population that is drowning financially, struggling to find work, struggling to eat, watching their living conditions deteriorate with no credible explanation from the people responsible for governing them. The foreigner becomes the easy explanation and excuse for a failing state. What makes it particularly revealing is who they target. They never target the foreign corporations extracting resources at below-market prices. Not the foreign financial institutions whose conditionalities have gutted public spending for decades, not the foreign governments whose diplomatic protection keeps predatory local elites in power election after election. Those actors are too distant and too legally armoured, living behind gates in neighbourhoods that the angry and the desperate cannot reach. So they go after the ones they can reach: the street vendor from a neighbouring country, the migrant worker who is every bit as broke and as desperate and as abandoned by power as they are. The poor man’s oldest and most reliable mistake is to see his enemy in his fellow poor person. It requires a macroscopic reading of how power actually operates to understand that the Malawian vendor and the South African unemployed youth are not each other’s problem. They are both products of the same system of extraction, the same manufactured scarcity, the same political class that needs them fighting each other precisely so they never turn around and face the right direction. Xenophobia is never a spontaneous eruption of hatred. It is what manufactured poverty looks like when it finally needs somewhere to go.

The hardest thing to explain to someone inside the imperial consensus is the concept of structural violence. They understand individual violence. One person harms another person. There is a perpetrator and a victim and a clear causal chain. What they cannot see, what the entire educational and media apparatus has been carefully designed to prevent them from seeing, is the violence that happens when a system is arranged so that certain people predictably die, predictably suffer, predictably lose, not because any individual decided to harm them specifically but because the overall arrangement of power requires their subordination. The people of the Global South do not die of poverty because individual Americans wish them dead. They die because the international economic architecture, the terms of trade, the debt structures, the conditions attached to IMF loans, the intellectual property regimes that prevent technology transfer, the agricultural subsidies that undercut developing world farmers, is arranged, in aggregate, in a way that concentrates wealth in already wealthy countries and extracts it from already poor ones. And that architecture was designed. It was negotiated. It was implemented by specific people in specific rooms making specific decisions about who would benefit and who would not. This is violence. It does not look like violence because no one is pulling a trigger. But the deaths it produces are just as dead. And when you try to explain this to someone whose entire identity rests on the belief that what they have they earned, and what others lack they failed to achieve, you are not making a political argument. You are dismantling the story that makes their life make sense. They will not thank you for it. They will defend against it with everything they have. Because the alternative, accepting that their comfort is downstream of other people's dispossession, is not a policy position. It is an identity catastrophe.

America…? A moral compass…? *clears throat* The United States was built on genocide and ethnic cleansing In 1898 it declared itself a ‘global power’ by crushing independence movements in the Philippines, killing at least 200k Filipino civilians From 1912 to 1933 it occupied Nicaragua, violently suppressing nationalist movements From 1915 to 1934 it invaded and occupied Haiti, essentially legalising slave labour From 1916 to 1924 it done the same to the Dominican Republic In 1945 it needlessly dropped two atomic bombs on civilians days before they knew Japan was to surrender, in a ‘display of strength’ to the Soviets In 1953 it overthrew Iran’s democracy in an act of pure self-interest In 1954 it overthrew Guatemala’s democracy leading to decades of violence In 1965 it backed mass killings in Indonesia, enabling the murder of up to a million people In the 1960’s and 1970’s it carpet-bombed Vietnam, killed millions, and poisoned the land From 1969 to 1973 it also carpet-bombed Cambodia with similar effects In 1973 it installed a dictatorship in Chile through a military coup From 1979 to 1989 it armed and funded Afghan militias, destabilising the country for decades In the 1990s it strangled Iraq with sanctions, devastating millions In 2003 it invaded Iraq on a lie, leading to a million dead In 2011 it destroyed Libya, turning a functioning state into a failed one where slave markets now exist In the 2020s it continues unabated, funding and arming the Gaza genocide and more atrocities across the Middle East This is not even close to an exhaustive list of US crimes So, what’s very, very important to understand is not that the United States has lost its ‘moral compass’ — it’s that it’s lost its ability to rewrite history in real time because the internet exists It has lost total control of the narrative Or, in short, now we’re able to see what it really is, and always has been

"The world is watching America lose its moral compass and its global credibility," per the Hill. Do you agree?

They say: Iran is not Arab. Iran is Shia. Iran has its own interests. Iran uses the Palestinian cause. Fine. Accept all of that for the sake of argument. Accept that Iran's support for Palestine is partly strategic. Accept that there are geopolitical calculations involved. Accept every cynical interpretation of Iranian motives. Now tell me: what is your excuse? You are Arab. You are Sunni. You share language, culture, history, and in many cases a border with the Palestinians. The people being killed are your people by every metric you claim matters. Ethnicity. Sect. Language. Civilization. And Iran, the Persian Shia country you're so concerned about, is doing more for those people than you are. If Iran is using Palestine, what are you doing to Palestine? You are using Palestine too. Using it for speeches. Using it for fundraising. Using it to claim Islamic credentials with your own populations while conducting a completely different policy behind closed doors. The difference is that Iran's use of Palestine comes with weapons, money, fighters, and the willingness to absorb American sanctions and Israeli bombs in defense of it. Your use of Palestine comes with statements. Deeply concerned statements. Urgent statements. Strongly worded statements. The children in Gaza cannot eat your statements.

Dear Fam, I'm hugely grateful for the outpouring of support following Mamdani's unfortunate capitulation to zionist power in which he chose to disparage and repudiate me. I didn't see what was happening until late yesterday, after I returned from an iftar with friends. I plan to post a response later today or maybe tomorrow, enshallah. In the meantime, let's keep our focus on the crimes and victims of Jewish supremacist zionist ghouls, vampires, parasites, etc.

NAAAHHH, Dudette... They PFCVKKKED around with Genocidal Hubris… ...and now they’re FINDING OUT in the most biblical, soul-crushing way imaginable. Only now - only now - are they whimpering, backpedaling, and fake-crying “nuance” and “complexity” because the entire digital & moral battlefield has turned into a flaming graveyard for their Hasbara Machine. Their once-Godlike Propaganda Empire is currently being Curb-Stomped into a Fine Red Mist. That “most moral army in the history of forever™" ? LMAO EXPOSED It was always just a bloated, overfunded Paper Lion - strutting around in stolen uniforms and adult diapers, roaring on TikTok, until someone actually punched back...and now it’s bleeding out in full view of the species. Literally the entire planet Earth (minus like 7 Zip Codes in Florida and a couple of Think-Tank Basement LARPers) now viscerally despises them - and not for memes or edgy Twitter clout, but for raw, documentable, ICC-prosecutable, history-book-level reasons. They’ll flip the script again the millisecond any scrap of leverage, any new atrocity-enabling weapon shipment, any fresh “we’re the real victims here” narrative oxygen returns. Trust? Trust?! These ghouls have Negative Trust Equity. They’ve farmed so much Bad Karma that the Karmic Debt Collectors are now arriving in Orbital Frop-Pods. They cannot be trusted. Not tomorrow. Not in ten years. Not in ten lifetimes. They are Cursed Code Walking around wearing human skin. 👹🧟‍♂️🦎🧟‍♂️👹

No one infantilizes Americans more than Americans. They are forever cast as misled children. Tricked by elites. Manipulated by media. Betrayed by politicians. But how many decades does a population get to hide behind naivety? How many invasions? How many lies? How many mass graves? How many "mistakes" before innocence expires? The rest of the world does not get this luxury. Vietnam did not get it. Iraq did not get it. Palestine does not get it. Only Americans are allowed to sit atop the machinery of death and still be described as tragically confused.

According to the United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs: About 45 million Africans live outside of Africa. Out of 1.4 billion people, that is roughly 3 percent of our population. Around 85 to 90 million Asians live outside of Asia. Asia’s total population is about 4.7 billion. That means roughly 2 percent of Asians live outside their continent. About 9 million citizens of the United States live outside their country out of 335 million people. That is roughly 5 percent of Americans. And around 70 million Europeans born in Europe live outside of Europe out of 450 million. That is about 15 percent of their population. So in raw numbers and in percentage, Americans and Europeans are the biggest migrant populations on this planet. Yet somehow they keep pushing the story as if migration is a problem exported by the global south.

A Message to African Americans Who Use Africa as a Punching Bag. You read some of the comments from African Americans demonizing Africans on the continent, calling us weak, useless, incapable of governing ourselves after independence, still dependent on the West, still poor. And what is striking is that they are recycling the very same rhetoric that white supremacists use against them in America. The same tired argument that slavery ended centuries ago and yet they remain at the bottom of the economic ladder, the most incarcerated demographic, the most policed, the most structurally confined. To borrow the language of Frantz Fanon, this is what internalized domination looks like when it turns outward. The oppressed, unable to strike the system that crushes them, search for another mirror to shatter. What they erase in their arrogance is history. Our leaders were eliminated. Patrice Lumumba was assassinated. Thomas Sankara was removed. Sylvanus Olympio was killed just to name these few. Those who resisted were overthrown through coups engineered from Europe and America. Weapons flooded our lands. Our states were militarize; wars were financed, terror was sponsored decimating millions to this day. Our resources continue to extracted ar unfair prices and our currencies were chained to foreign treasuries. Structural adjustment programs hollowed out our hospitals, our schools, our public services. Illicit financial flows drained over a trillion within a few decades . And yes these happened thanks to our local Uncle Toms. We have been fighting to survive in a battlefield disguised as independence. Let us be honest. The entire Black American population is about 48 million. Africa is 1.4 billion people. That means the whole of Black America fits into this continent nearly thirty times over. Demographically speaking, you are the size of one mid range African country. So no, we Africans will not waste our energy arguing endlessly with what is statistically the equivalent of one large public market on this continent. We have imperial empires to confront and systems to dismantle. From time to time, we will correct grave distortions and push back against your ignorance when it becomes too loud. We will do so as an act of solidarity toward your Blackness, to prevent the embarrassment of supremacist talking points coming from Black mouths. But we will not engage in fratricidal battles. It is beneath our mission and our horizon. We have larger adversaries to face, and we will not allow ourselves to be distracted by those who have internalized hate toward their own as a strategy of survival within a system that diminishes them. We refuse to be the convenient target of misplaced rage, because our struggle is against systems that conquered, looted, and fractured us all, and we will not let borrowed contempt divide a people whose liberation is still unfinished.

Before Fidel, Cuba was not some balanced, diversified "free market" farm paradise. It was a U.S. sugar monoculture with land concentrated in latifundia, serving one buyer, in one currency, for one purpose. Sugar for the empire. Tourism for the empire. Mafias, casinos, and brothels for the empire. That was your "economic fundamentals." When you turn a country into a plantation, it will import a lot of its food. Because the best land is reserved for export crops that serve foreign profit, not local nutrition. The revolution inherited that structure. Cuba did not start from "normal economy" and then ruin it with Marxism. It started from a gangster client state, where Washington and a tiny local elite owned the soil. What did Fidel do? He broke the plantations. He redistributed land. He sent literacy brigades into the countryside. He turned a semi-feudal island into a society where peasants could become doctors, engineers, and teachers. Then the United States answered that audacity with: Bay of Pigs. Economic embargo. Terror campaigns. Permanent attempts to isolate and starve the island. You act as if the USSR "feeding" Cuba was proof of Fidel’s incompetence. In reality, it was the only major power willing to trade with a country Washington was trying to strangle. Cuba sent sugar, citrus, nickel, and workers. The USSR sent oil, machinery, grain, and yes, food. That is called trade and specialization. Japan, the Gulf monarchies, Singapore, South Korea, many European states import large portions of their food. Nobody calls that a failure of "economic fundamentals." They call it comparative advantage. It only becomes "proof of incompetence" when a socialist country does it under siege. You say, "In the end, this folklore hero achieved nada." Nothing? He took a U.S. playground of casinos and child prostitution and turned it into a country with: Universal literacy. Life expectancy comparable to rich countries. Infant mortality rates lower than many U.S. cities. One of the highest doctor-per-capita ratios in the world. Medical brigades that went to Africa, Latin America, even to Western countries during crises. Under embargo. Under permanent sabotage. Ninety miles from a state that spends more on its military than most of the planet combined. If that is "nada," what do you call a superpower that spends trillions on war and still has people rationing insulin, drowning in student debt, and sleeping under bridges? You reduce six decades of resistance to a meme about "importing two-thirds of its food." I look at the same history and see this: A small island that refused to be a plantation. A people who were told, "Surrender and we will feed you properly." A leadership that answered, "We would rather be poor with a spine than rich on our knees." You want to score a cheap point about Fidel’s "folklore." But the real folklore is the story you are selling: That a country under embargo, sabotage, terror, and economic siege should be judged by the same metrics as the empire that besieged it, and if it is not equally rich, the problem must be "communist incompetence." Cuba’s real "crime" was not bad economics. Its crime was proving that a small, Black and brown island could kick the United States out and still refuse to crawl back for forgiveness. That is why people like you need to keep repeating that it "achieved nothing." Because if you ever admitted what it actually achieved under those conditions, you would have to ask a much more uncomfortable question: What would Cuba have become without the boot on its neck?
S.L. Kanthan@Kanthan2030

Under Fidel Castro’s dictatorship, Cuba imported two-thirds of its food (!) — from the USSR. This man was too busy with his “Revolución Cubana” and “Antiimperialismo” that he forgot economic fundamentals like agriculture. In the end, this folklore hero achieved nada.

King Charles's aide Peter Loughborough, who currently serves as lord steward to King Charles,  oversaw royal protection at Epstein's home, emails claim. The bullshit that the Royal family and British police didn't know what was going on all these years is falling like leaves. Charles closest aide now, overseeing security at Epsteins home and two Royal protection officers were staying with Andrew there. Two years after Epstein was convicted as a pedophile and a underaged sex predator. Why the British government isn't investigating all this? Everyone knew and protected Andrew and Epstein. They had no problem with the pedophile trafficking and raping children as long as nobody will find out. Zero accountability. Disgusting people. Shameful disgusting people.

IMPERIALISM & JEFFREY ESPTEIN Every new Jeffrey Epstein revelation makes it clear that this isn’t some isolated horror but rather a window into how the ruling class operates. A child sex trafficking ring that doubled as an intelligence-gathering and blackmail operation doesn’t exist on the margins of power, it exists bc of power. We see pedophilia as uniquely monstrous, and it is! But the same elite that enabled or participated in Epstein’s network also oversees a capitalist imperialist system that drops bombs on children, starves them through sanctions, justifies their mass death as strategic foreign policy and parasites on the global south to steal its resources while its children live in abject poverty. Gaza. Iraq. Yemen. Sudan. Congo. Cuba. And on and on and on. If a person is cool with mass murdering children abroad and sees their deaths as acceptable in exchange for power and profit, then OF COURSE they’re fine violating the bodies of working class little girls in America. These crimes are connected. This isn’t some freak scandal. This is the same ruling elite that murders children abroad and then acts shocked when we learn they were also abusing them behind closed doors. Say it again: An elite that views children as disposable in war will see them as disposable EVERYWHERE. Same people, same system, same total moral rot.

ZIMBABWE PRESIDENT SCHOOLS TUCKER CARLSON This exchange between right wing commentator Tucker Carlson and Zimbabwean President Emmerson Mnangagwa at the World Governments Summit is revealing, not for what Carlson uncovers, but for how clearly he echoes a long standing Western distortion of African history. Carlson frames Zimbabwe’s land reform as a racial injustice against white farmers, recycling a narrative that strips colonialism of context. Mnangagwa pushes back, calmly but firmly, reminding him of a basic historical truth: Zimbabwe was colonised, its land violently seized by settlers, and independence required reclaiming what was taken. Land was never “white” or “black”; it belonged to the native Africans who were systemically dispossessed. The liberation struggle, led by the late Robert Mugabe representing ZANU and the late Joshua Nkomo representing ZAPU, was not just about establishing a Western-style democratic system; it was first and foremost about reclaiming land. Hence, the Lancaster Agreement was signed in London and stipulated that the British state should compensate white farmers for land reclaimed by the newly independent state. But when the British reneged on their promises and veterans who had sacrificed their lives for independence became frustrated that they were still landless over 20 years after independence, they started pressuring the ZANU PF government, led by Mugabe, to push through the land reform Carlson references, without giving any historical context. What followed the land reform decades were economic sanctions designed to punish African self-determinationn. This is how colonialism survives: not only through force, but through narrative. By rewriting history, erasing context, and manufacturing moral outrage, Western media launders power into “concern” and calls it journalism. @VoxUmmah @venanalysis @qiaocollective @ProgIntl @KawsachunNews @OrinocoTribune @blkagendareport @SoberaniaPod
