I’ll never get tired of saying this: The problem with South Africa is not the ANC, it’s the system the ANC is governing under. You can remove them, and that’s fine and emotionally satisfying, but whoever you put in there will produce the same outcomes. The ANC is the manager, not the architect of a system designed to preserve capital mobility, satisfy global investors, and discipline the masses. When we say “the system”, it’s not some abstract concepts, we’re referring to policies like the Reserve Bank’s inflation targeting, the manufactured fear of budget deficits, fiscal austerity, free capital flows, WTO trade liberalisation, etc. Swapping the ANC for the DA, EFF, or MKP within the same system would reproduce similar outcomes because the underlying logic of profitability for capital over people’s needs remains. Even parties like the EFF, despite their radical rhetoric, will face the same constraints of capital flight and credit rating downgrades if they attempt radical redistribution. It should be clear that unemployment, inequality, and crime are not the results of poor policy implementation, but systemic outcomes of an economic model that excludes the majority. For example, inflation targeting keeps interest rates high, stifling job creation; free capital flows allow wealth to leave the country instead of being reinvested locally; while WTO rules prevent protectionist policies that could revive local manufacturing. The SARB literally exists to keep unemployment as high as possible without causing societal collapse because that’s seen as the best way to safeguard financial investments! What SA needs is not just regime change, but system change. Yes, Zimbabwe was disciplined harshly for resistance and Venezuela’s economy is made to “scream” for daring to resist, but neither of those countries had the luxury of BRICS membership and the opportunities this presents. For instance, the BRICS Bank and the Contingent Reserve Arrangement offer South Africa potential funding outside IMF/World Bank dictatorship. Trade in local currencies would reduce reliance on the US dollar and ease balance-of-payments pressures. If leveraged aggressively, this would weaken the power of Western financial markets and credit ratings agencies to discipline SA policy. In short, unless there’s a break away from the thinking shaped in the 1990s, every new party will end up governing like the old one, or worse. Blaming the ANC alone lets the system off the hook. And the system is what’s killing the people Yes, the ANC needs to go, but instead of asking “which party can govern better within these constraints”, we should be asking “how do we change the constraints themselves?”

Your brain is rotten and here’s why. First, social media is designed to reward shallow engagement, so the more you try engaging with everything, the more your critical thinking erodes. The more your brain rots. Second, the algorithm rewards the quick hot take over the nuanced view and this is why you have started thinking in tweet-length thoughts. That’s why anything longer than a single tweet hurts your brain. This should be obvious, but not every debate is worth having and not every opinion needs a response. If you prioritise depth over dopamine hits your brain will thank you. But, of course, you won’t, because the alternative is so much easier and far more satisfying. After all choosing depth over dopamine hits requires real discipline. It means sitting with uncertainty, reading full articles😩, engaging with uncomfortable ideas rather than just confirm what you already believe. This does not feel good at all. So, whenever you see something and think “this post is too long to read or listen to”, it’s not because you don’t have time, you just no longer have the mental capacity. Your brain is rotten, decayed by habits designed to keep you reactive. You basically no longer have a brain, and the designers like it like that.

Our Ancestors across the African continent fought against European colonialism they were not docile, colonialists use already conquered groups and ally to attack those who resisted them fiercely, that’s how many empires and kingdoms fell into colonialism.

I would like to express my gratitude to all the peace-loving, freedom-loving patriots and pan-Africanists who rallied around the world on Wednesday April 30, 2025 to support our commitment and our vision for a new Burkina Faso and a new Africa, free from imperialism and neo-colonialism. Your active solidarity and this demonstration of sympathy strenghtens our conviction that the fight we are waging for a fairer and more equitable world is justified. We will never bend our backs in the face of adversity; we will stand firm until our peoples are truly emancipated. With you, we are certain that victory over the forces of evil is at hand. Together, in solidarity, we will defeat imperialism and neo-colonialism for a free, dignified and sovereign Africa.

Eric Schmidt says intelligence is about to decouple from us. “The computers are now doing self-improvement.. They don’t have to listen to us anymore.” Within six years: a mind smarter than the sum of humans -- scaled, recursive, free. We have no language for what’s coming.

When your fake narrative empowers killers To date there is no evidence of a link between the struggle chant “Dubul' ibhunu” and farm murders BUT do you know there is a direct link between the fake narrative spread by White Genocide and WHITE Farm Murders dingbats and grifters and a 160 DEATHS? Makes one think that some accusations are definitely confessions.

"If you can control energy, you can control human beings." A perfect one minute summary of the climate scam. "Back in 1993, we identified [global warming] as the mother of all environmental scare tactics... Groups on the left understood that if you can control energy, you can control human beings." "If, in fact, the combustion of fossil fuels is having a dangerous impact on climate, you have a recipe for controlling all use of fossil fuels—that's 80-90% of all the energy. If you can control that and shut it down, you can shut down the engines of the world." "And that is no less than what the environmental movement wants to do, and has been trying to do now going on 30 years [with] the global warming debate." – Joseph Bast, former president and CEO of The Heartland Institute.

Almond and oat milk are not health foods. According to the "Father of Biohacking" Dave Asprey, there is no need to drink plant milks such as almond milk and oat milk. Almond milk contains oxalates and phytic acid that depletes minerals from your bones. Oat milk raises your blood sugar as much as drinking a soda, usually contains glyphosate and it is also high in phytic acid.
