The Noblesse

writer... lover... what was I talking about again?

[Sony Thăng @nxt888]

Take any population on earth.

For several generations, remove their most physically capable members by force and sell them abroad.

Destroy their existing political institutions and replace them with administrative structures designed to extract rather than develop.

Draw their borders to maximize ethnic conflict and minimize political coherence.

Extract their mineral and agricultural wealth for a century at prices you set unilaterally.

When you leave, install governments that serve your economic interests rather than their populations.

Fund civil wars when those governments are threatened by leaders who want to redirect resource revenues toward domestic development.

Then, three generations later, administer a cognitive test.

Compare the scores to those of the populations who spent the same period accumulating capital, building universities, developing public health infrastructure, and compounding the advantages of political stability.

Put the results on a map.

Call the map a "nature documentary."

Tell yourself the scores show something biological.

Tell yourself the history had nothing to do with it.

Tell yourself you arrived at this conclusion by following the evidence.

You did not follow the evidence.

You followed the map to the place you had already decided to go.

And the evidence, the entire, documented, sourced, cross-disciplinary evidence, is the invoice you refused to open.

One minute we say men cheat a lot but some of you message them when you see the material things they do for their partners.

I often don’t watch videos like this because, they usually don’t interest me. But today I watched until the end. While I don’t see any major issue with people passionately expressing their beliefs, I do find it interesting how people who strongly identify with feminism rarely acknowledge that there is also a male version of sacrifices and struggles.

Just as women have many complaints about what being a woman entails, men also have difficulties they are expected to endure. If a woman doesn’t want to recognize that, that’s their choice. But the important point is: as a woman, you shouldn’t expect genuine reconciliation or understanding from men when you dismiss their own experiences.

Also, I’m an advocate of men not obsessing over women’s choices. This video has hundreds of men arguing against these women, and honestly, I even feel slightly uncomfortable being grouped with that reaction. My question is: why are you so invested in convincing people who have already stated their preferences?

As a man today, you shouldn’t try to convince a woman that your idea of what is right, ideal, or principled is the correct one. Let them do what they want. Nobody is asking you to commit to them. Sometimes, the excessive need to argue with women about their preferences can reveal an insecurity: you don’t have enough options and need women in general to change to what you want, so more of them become available to you. It can also mean that you don’t have the ruthlessness to live on your own terms and are intimidated by the fact they’ll beat you to it—by their sexual leverage and sheer social savviness.

You should live on your own terms and only be available to those compatible with it. Many men avoid admitting this and instead opt for endless debates and think pieces.

Ultimately, if someone doesn’t want to submit, believe, or live according to your values, why spend so much energy trying to force agreement? Let them live, and you live according to your own standards. You should only go directly against them if they try to socialise the consequences of their own decisions.

Suddenly all the people who cared about human rights when Russia and Qatar hosted the world cup and suddenly quiet. .. No fancy documentary from the BBC on immigrants rights. No expose on Crime in inner cities (as we saw in South Africa)

Just silence.

[Murray Rothbard @MurraySuggests]

The Iranian navy, which has been destroyed eight times, has apparently closed the Strait of Hormuz again, because the United States, for the seventh time, won the war that wasn’t a war, so now the United States has to open the Strait of Hormuz that was already open before the not-war began.

The not-war began because Iran had uranium that was totally, completely, beautifully obliterated, so they can’t build the nuclear bomb they weren’t building, which is why the United States had to start the not-war it definitely didn’t start.

Now the United States, which has nuclear weapons, is threatening to use nuclear weapons to stop Iran from getting nuclear weapons, because nuclear weapons are far too dangerous for countries with nuclear weapons to allow other countries to have.

If the United States saw the United States doing what the United States does in other countries, the United States would invade the United States to liberate the United States from the tyranny of the United States.

Peter Obi thinks he knows a lot and has in depth knowledge about how to solve the economic, security and power problems.

I strongly believe BAT will flaw him very easily. I want BAT to mess him up so badly in a debate.

I'm using this medium to beg all APC supporters and believers of Asiwaju's knowledge of governance to accept an open debate to teach Peter Obi serious lessons.

A Nigerian woman based in Canada spoke at length about the things women commonly do — and how they often complain when men behave exactly the same way.

MEN should ALSO be TAUGHT not to ACCEPT the BARE MINIMUM from WOMEN 💯

[co-creator with God. 🥼🩺 @MaryRoseMalomo]

Women's innocence?
Women are human beings and like all other human beings, women possess the ability of being kind or evil.
The issue is that women have been infantilized for so long, giving a false notion that all women are "innocent or goodly or kind."
They are not. Women can be hard and wicked and unkind because women are human beings.

Nigerians are very docile people. Airtel has a national network issue. Nobody complains, people experience fraudulent data consumption across service providers, Nobody takes action, no protests, no form of demand for better service, nothing at all.

What they do is switch to MTN. If MTN does not work they switch to Glo, if all of them don't work for them they switch to Starlink.

No demand for justice, no demand for accountability, just spineless complaints. When you try to take action the idiots will advise you to buy Starlink.

And then I took an action by calling out Airtel on my platform, Airtel reached out and decided to troubleshoot my area's network. I agreed with Airtel, let's try that even though I don't believe that can solve the problem.

But let's try something and see, if that solves the problem in my area we push forward and demand that it be enforced nationwide.

People start complaining that I am only concerned about myself, people who have taken no action before.

Others started scaring me. They are going to arrest you, instead of showing solidarity with me and standing up for me against a national problem and encouraging me, they start asking me to dock that the company will oppress me.

What is wrong with Nigerians?

Are you people cursed?

Can you people not stand up for once and achieve a common goal?

This is why you can't buy sardines anymore. In other countries when you increase the prices of basic products the people protest and try to kick the company out of their country.

This is why you buy iPhones at an extra cost. Every increment in the prices of products you see as an opportunity to exhibit class against your fellow citizens.

"I am better than you." "I am richer than you that is why I can afford it."

Are you people stupid?

Why are you so afraid of speaking out and suffering oppression?

What exactly is wrong with Nigerians?

[the_ceo @the_ceo99]

Nigerians are in the comments complaining about how poor their salaries are, and rightfully so. But when it’s time to get involved in the decisions that shape those outcomes, tribe and religion suddenly take over.

It’s strange how people can be united by hardship, yet divided by identity, even when those divisions don’t actually change anything about their reality.

[Daniel Regha @DanielRegha]

In all I have read about men tweeting like women, I haven't seen any man post about:

-Men should be submissive to their wives.
-Men should enter the kitchen and keep the house running.
-No intercourse on the first date or after consistent spending.

Ironic isn't it.

A lot of men claim not to understand how tapping current is sexual harassment until it is a gay man tapping their current.

Misandry is women venting. Misogyny has institutions, laws, traditions and festivals behind it.

Misandry is like old women gossiping at the back of the church. Misogyny is what happened in Ozoro today.

One is a reaction while other is a system.

The craziest thing is even guys have this fear of a group of men as well, but pretend like women are exaggerating when they speak on it for some reason 😭

When Niger delta militants were active, they never claimed Christianity as their religion and never said they were fighting for Christianity. They clearly told Nigerians they were fighting for oil.
When Boko Haram came, they never said they were fighting for resources. They clearly told Nigerians and the world that they were fighting for Islamic caliphate. That's the difference. One fought for resources, and the other is fighting for religion. It's stupidity to try to lump them together as one.
