As they get mogged by China harder and harder, it's hilarious to watch Silicon Valley libs get hysterical upon realizing that the real reason for US tech supremacy was US imperialism - not merit. They were not more "intelligent" or "better at shipping" or had the "best brians in the world" or any such nonsense - they were just more evil and hegemonic. That was their real moat. All else was derivative and followed downstream. And now with China's rise, that moat is drying up. And they cannot defend themselves, they have no option but to watch helplessly as China defeats and conquers them. The copium is a beautiful sight to behold.

We have so many building traditions across Africa of the very same form as this building in Iran, yet we haven’t developed most of them. Gelareh started as a weekend villa in Kouhsar, on the edge of Tehran and Karaj, and when the family wanted it as a full-time home, ZAV Architects refused to tear it down and start over. Instead they grew it, adding vaulted volumes one after another like a body extending itself, until the house wound its way into the garden rather than sitting apart from it. The technique is low-tech masonry, built by hand, using the same local materials and craft knowledge the region has carried for generations. Vaults are one of the oldest ways humans have covered space without steel or imported systems, and here they are proof that old technique can still solve a present-day problem, a seasonal house becoming a permanent one, without the sprawl of demolishing and rebuilding from scratch. Rammed earth, vaulted roofs, courtyard-adjacent growth, our own continent holds every one of these techniques in some form, in Mali, in Morocco, in the Sahel. We rarely take them further than tradition. Somewhere else, the same logic becomes an architecture firm’s signature and an answer to modern housing pressure. 📍Gelareh. Kouhsar, Iran.

@AishaDaughter Words used to have meaning now they're used based on vibes.

An Emirati calling African Americans imperialists because they live in US Imperial core, when the UAE is subimperialist nation that bows down to its US imperialist master and junior of white supremacist sponsoring genocide in Sudan and a destabilising agent in the horn of Africa.

@Daniella810600 U missed his point.

Imagine being black and being racist It doesnt suit you

@SpitJizz @Delightistired These are actors that target an audience like you; poorly educated white people who have nothing else to hang onto other than the achievements of members of their race. You're a deep southerner tho. It COMES with u

@MIKEisTOPg @Delightistired Just googled and saw that it’s early AM in Africa. Time for breakfast! I’m going to bed.

@SpitJizz @Delightistired Can't relate. I get my news on stonetabs.

@MIKEisTOPg @Delightistired Please consult this 85” tv on my bedroom wall while I go shower and get ready to lay down in my clean soft king bed. I’m sure many of those words seem foreign to you. But that’s no one’s fault but your parents for not being American.

@SpitJizz @Delightistired Pls consult this pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/16530454/

@MIKEisTOPg @Delightistired Damn, that response took a long time to upload. Now don’t go using up all of your African mujumbo data attempting to spar with me monkey man. I’m unlimited on this end. Gig data speeds and shit. 😮‍💨 GOD bless America. And no place else.

@SpitJizz @Delightistired Imagine being a failure in life. Gotta hang to those spurs kid, the moment u stop it's game over 4 u. There's no growing out of it, start counting n make your obituary

@MIKEisTOPg @Delightistired You spend your life being useless on X because you live in Africa. What the fuck else are you supposed to do. Now go chop up an albino and make some mojumbo juice. Might just be magical enough to get you to civilization and potable water. Ooga booga!

@SpitJizz @Delightistired Oh my God Im in Africa? Thanks for telling me. I couldn't tell. I spend my life being useless on x.com cos I'm a failure irl. Huts are cool and monkey meat so good, I'll cook n eat u if we ever meet and dance to ooga booga

@MIKEisTOPg @Delightistired You’re literally in Africa. I’m in the United States of America. We are not the same ooga booga. Go back to your hut, eat those monkey brains and once again, shut the fuck up.

@SpitJizz @Delightistired No u can't say that. I've seen what "people" like u that live in dirty rooms look like.

@MIKEisTOPg @Delightistired African booty scratcher shut the fuck up.

@SpitJizz @Delightistired Ur anon name is "Rupert" lmao How many days until u do the rope and tree challenge?

@Delightistired You’re literally from Africa. So fucking gross. Go back to your hut Munjabo.

@FerdyOmondi They're saying you're working for your daily bread, Chief.

There is a real and important debate happening around the proposed Dangote Refinery in Lamu. For many people, the first reaction is understandable: this looks like development for the people of Lamu and Kenya. Thousands of jobs. Big investment. National attention. A project of this scale naturally sounds like progress. But before anyone rushes to applause, there are some very serious questions that still need clear answers. First, where exactly will the 5,000 acres of land come from? Will it be acquired peacefully? Will communities be consulted properly? Will any families, farmers, or local land users be displaced in the process? These are not small details. They go to the heart of whether this project uplifts people or uproots them. Then there is the environmental cost. Lamu is not empty land waiting to be “developed.” It is a living coastal ecosystem. Mangroves are nature’s coastal bodyguards. They hold the shoreline together, cradle fish nurseries, trap carbon, and shield communities from storms and flooding. Coral reefs and seagrass beds are the underwater engine room of the coast. They feed fisheries, support marine life, and keep the ocean alive. Damage to these systems is not cosmetic. It can be irreversible, and when they are gone, the economic loss goes far beyond the environment. And then there is the ocean. A refinery in a sensitive coastal area raises serious questions about dredging, tanker movement, spill risk, runoff, pollution, and long-term contamination. If oil or industrial waste gets into the water, the sea does not keep it neatly in one place. It spreads. It seeps into food chains. It hits fish, livelihoods, public health, and the future all at once. Then there is the jobs story, which needs to be handled honestly. Yes, people need work. But experience from similar mega-projects in Africa shows that many of the highly skilled jobs go to foreign experts and contractors, while local people are often left with temporary, casual, low-paying roles. That is not a new pattern. In Lekki, Nigeria, where Dangote built his first refinery and industrial complex, communities have continued to raise concerns about displacement, loss of fishing access, environmental damage, and the gap between the promises of prosperity and the reality experienced on the ground. That is why people are asking whether Lamu is about to face the same pattern: big promises upfront, but unresolved social and environmental grievances later. So the real issue is not whether people support development. Of course they do. The real question is whether this project, in this place, with these risks, truly improves the economic well-being and quality of life of the people it claims to serve. Because that is what development is supposed to mean. It should build opportunity without bulldozing communities. It should create jobs without shrinking livelihoods. It should lift people without sinking the coast. So the question is simple: will this project genuinely improve the well-being and quality of life of the people of Lamu, or will it leave behind displacement, ecological damage, and long-term costs that cannot be reversed? That is the question we should all be asking.

@viyancefavour Hunter-gatherers had to deal with diseases on themselves that made them unable to hunt or gather n also diseases that killed animals, crops that caused famine.

Exactly. They weren't all immediate Hunter gatherers. Therefore, there was poverty in Africa before colonization came.

Elephants experience incel rage

@isitbyforcee Red salt would do it

@viyancefavour If he means the people benefiting from the system rot would have to be eradicated in some way because they're directly incentivized to keep it rotten in any way necessary, then yes but most would assume their morally bankrupt neighbors too need to go together.

Lmao this is false wtf.

113 developing countries in the Global South spent more money paying off foreign debt than they did on education for their own people in 2025.

You’re listening to Sisyphus FM, the home of non-stop rock.

@iamNeare First cia W if true

Even though I agree that BITCOIN was a CIA project to usher in programmable money. They made a mistake of releasing the node to the public, now it's uneasy to centralize control cos most Bitcoin mining servers has moved to sovereign countries like Iran, China, Russia n North Korea. The Banking Cartels like JP Morgan, BlackRock, etc have been attacking Bitcoin since. They even created Bitcoin ETF n pumped the price of BTC that's not backed by any Bitcoin n the moment people start realizing, they pulled out their money causing the crash in value. They even backed Janes street to pull the massive Fraud that's supposed to crash Bitcoin to zero so they'll move all the assets to a more controllable crypto. The fact they're going on podcast to say it's "CIA controlled" tells you they've run out of ways to attack Bitcoin n the only option left for them is PROPAGANDA. They want to use the media to discourage people from further adopting the uncontrollable digital asset. The real surveillance here is USDT which is issued by U.S treasury n can be tracked, monitored or even frozen. But you will never hear them talk about it. BUY BITCOIN IF YOU HAVE THE MONEY.
