South Africa is possibly the only functional country where private citizens can threaten people and order them to leave the country while the government watches shamelessly and helplessly. This only happens in a failed state. Clearly SA gvt is tolerating this.
Once you turn 20 you have to fight everyday for the rest of your life to not lose your personality & spirit, bc what once came naturally to you will be exhausted into nothing if you don't actively Try.
What sucks is that life could be so easy. So easy. There are enough resources to end world hunger, homelessness, and poverty. We could slow down and fairly utilize and distribute them. Instead, everyone suffers while 20 men control half the world’s wealth.
I stopped negotiating with Uber drivers when it comes to prices. Initially, I used to do it ndio wanibebe but nowadays I just cancel and tell them good luck. The economy is fucking us both in the ass nanii I'll just tip the modest one, not the entitled one.
We were given a planet that grows its own food, overflowing with trees, fruit, water, medicine, and sunlight, where life itself is abundant and generous. Yet we built systems of debt, competition, division, and war instead of learning to live in balance with it.
We are not victims. We allowed politicians to oppress us. We defended them as they looted our taxes. We allowed them to divide us along tribal lines while they united to exploit us. We are both the problem and the solution. We either fix this country together or keep suffering individually.
I realized how privileged I am when I went to pray to God and didn’t need to ask for a meal, for the healing of someone I love, for a roof over my head, or for a job to provide for myself. God has taken such good care of me and my family that all I can do is be grateful.
Signs that you’re politically stupid: when your defense of a politician has nothing to do with development, economic performance, policy outcomes, accountability, integrity, or leadership track record and is instead driven purely by tribe, identity, or blind loyalty.
The myth that poor people just need to “work harder” is nonsense. Most poor people work longer hours doing harder jobs for lower pay. This system doesn’t reward labor; it exploits it.
