@MwahafarN if you see 50 people protesting in Namibia, it's a big number.

@Micky_right Namibia was most definitely in South Africa's corner.

@toys_ndjebela I am reserving my excitement for later because MTC is the big dog in this scenario and I doubt whether CRAN has any teeth to do anything.

America was founded on a revolutionary idea: Greed is Good.⁠
⁠
How highly America’s founders elevated acquisition & wealth is unprecedented in the history of ideas.⁠
• For Plato, producers are the lowest of the tripartite division in the Republic⁠
• The Confucian tradition ranked merchants as the lowest class⁠
• In Hinduism, workers are the lowest caste with merchants being the second lowest.⁠
• The Bible depicts labor on earth as a punishment for humanity’s transgressions: you will eat bread by the sweat of your brow.⁠
⁠
The common thread within these classical traditions is the idea that work is undignified and that a life focused on wealth produces a petty soul.⁠
⁠
What’s surprising about America’s founders then is not just how highly they elevate acquisition but why they did so. They valued the formative consequences of acquisition on the character of citizens! Their reasoning flips the classical traditions on its head: work is the most fertile soil to produce virtues necessary for scientific enterprise, familial life, and civic action.⁠
⁠
The founders didn't just embrace commerce. They reconceived human nature around it. They built a system where work becomes your identity, where acquisition has no natural limit. And they knew what they were giving up. The founders looked at the imagination, at religiosity, at Plato’s Eros -- the deepest longings of the human soul -- and ejected them for being too dangerous for a commercial republic.⁠
⁠
On America’s 250th, I’ve invited the legendary UT philosopher Thomas Pangle to discuss the magnificent power and terrible cost of turning greed from vice to virtue, and whether America’s founders would be happy with those tradeoffs if they saw America today.⁠

Read the post then listened to the audio and the audio didn't sound as dramatic as the post is making it out to be. Audio sounded like a sincere gesture of support to capacitate the Judiciary in skills sharing and emulating how Trump likes to portray himself as being accessible.

I think that's perfectly above board because one of the key functions of foreign missions is to promote economic, scientific and cultural ties in all sectors.

But I understand the scepticism of those words from a country with America's recent regime change history on the continent. And not to forget what his more divisive South African counterpart is posting in South Africa.
