@JarvisAeneas It's all happened before. At a certain age you recognise there are patterns, with access to old newsp as pets you know it's all happened before.
I’m starting to think that I’m the only right-winger on this platform who believes that climate change is a real phenomenon.
Not saying it hasn’t been exaggerated in the media, but I just don’t see how you can wholesale reject it.
@Michael54863926 I've lived and worked in many African countries. You have no idea of the corruption. The police, the tax collector, the labour ministry guy all will find a way to extort money from you. It's absolutely fucked
3 more small businesses from Centurion have retrenched their staff & left South Africa this past month. 28 more people have joined the UIF queue. Working in neighbouring countries is so much easier. No more political interferences. No more BEE & race laws. No more quotas & AA.
There was a demographic problem 2,200 years ago, and Polybius wrote exactly what caused it. Read carefully:
"In our times, Greece as a whole is experiencing a lack of children and, more generally, a decrease in population. Because of this, cities have become deserted and there is a lack of productivity, even though we do not suffer from constant wars or epidemics. So if someone advised that we send priests to the gods to ask them what we should say or do to become more numerous and better inhabit our cities, he would not seem foolish, since the cause is obvious and the solution lies in our own hands.
People have turned to arrogance, greed, and laziness, and they neither want to marry, nor, if they do marry, to raise their children. Instead, they have only one or two children with difficulty, just to leave them wealth and raise them in luxury.
This evil grew rapidly, and we did not notice. For when there are only one or two children, and one is lost to war and the other to illness, it is obvious that the cities will inevitably become deserted, just as a beehive weakens little by little, so too do cities that lack population become unable to survive."

The similarities after 2,200 years.
People prefer partying, doing drugs, and living for today rather than having a purpose, building a family, and leaving a positive footprint in this world. They choose the easy life. At this point, it’s a form of natural selection between those who are worthy and those who are not to continue.
@vigilantersa Around 1995 most did. Economy was good. I'd say up to 2012 most did. Started going pear shaped one the financial crises of 2008 started impacting SA. We were cushioned by the soccer World Cup and strict borrowing laws the government put in place well before 2008.
@karynmaughan@AvainAfrica As someone who went PBHS, my only questions: who was the teacher and what lead up to this?!!
Most PBHS teachers are racist!! That school doesn’t have any teachers of color! @PtaBoysHigh
“If you see a school shooting, just know it was me, because I’m going to blow this school up.” - a WhatsApp voice note from a Pretoria Boys High pupil, who appeared in Instagram videos with his brothers where they showed off guns and smoked marijuana.

Prohibition wasn’t about stopping people from drinking alcohol, it was about stopping farmers from creating their own fuel for their machines.
Making hemp illegal wasn't to keep people safe, it was to maintain the petroleum Monopoly.
@kickstart0225@USronaldcarter Like they aren't dancing to the same piper. Only a fool could believe your politicians are not all firmly under the control of a puppetmaster.
TRUMP JUST PUBLISHED THE EXACT LIST OF COUNTRIES REQUIRED TO JOIN THE ABRAHAM ACCORDS AS THE PRICE OF ANY IRAN PEACE DEAL
Not a suggestion. Not a request. MANDATORY. SIMULTANEOUS. NAMED NATIONS. Country by country.
🇸🇦 Saudi Arabia → sign Abraham Accords → normalize with Israel → or Iran deal collapses
🇶🇦 Qatar → sign Abraham Accords → the country hosting US Central Command headquarters
🇵🇰 Pakistan → sign Abraham Accords → a nuclear power with 240 million Muslims
🇹🇷 Türkiye → sign Abraham Accords → NATO ally whose president called Israel a "terrorist state"
🇪🇬 Egypt → sign Abraham Accords → 100 million people, spiritual capital of the Arab world
🇯🇴 Jordan → sign Abraham Accords → already has a peace treaty, but this demands public normalization
🇦🇪 UAE → already a Member → required to anchor the new expanded coalition
🇧🇭 Bahrain → already a Member → required to stand alongside every new signatory
🇮🇷 Iran → offered an "Honor" to join → meaning: recognize Israel or stay at war
💀 9 named nations
💀 1 condition: all sign simultaneously or the deal dies
💀 ZERO exceptions — Trump's words: "mandatory"
💀 $11,300,000,000,000 in market cap added since March 30 bottom — that's what peace is worth
Every nation on this list has official state policy refusing recognition of Israel. Some for decades. Some since 1948.
Trump's post is live. The calls to leaders have already happened. The list is published.
These are the signatures required. Right now.
I'll keep you updated. Turn on notifications. 🚨
