A DREAM FOR SOUTH AFRICA

That we, English South Africans, turn our backs on being "English" and rebrand as Africaners.

It's simple. Afrikaner means African. In Afrikaans, it's spelled Afrikaner. In English, it's spelled Africaner. Same word, one language each.

So the Afrikaner keeps his name and we take ours. Nobody changes. Nobody loses. We just stop calling ourselves English, and start calling ourselves what we are.

The Dutch and French settlers did this long ago. The English never did. Now is the time.

Because tell me, what has Britain ever done for our fathers? For us? And what will it ever do for our children? Nothing and it never will.

Except sell us down the river to save their gold mines, and leave us the BEE blood debt for 33 years.

This generation must come together as one nation, and ALL South Africans who identify as South African first are welcome.

Because they want us divided, and a divided people is an easy people to control. Stay apart, and change happens to us. Stand together, and it happens BY US. FOR US.

If this resonates with you: LIKE, COMMENT, SHARE. Let's make this happen.

Johannesburg voters put the DA first at 34.8%. ANC got 20.3%.

Ramaphosa is reportedly pushing an ANC-led coalition that freezes the DA out anyway.

This is not new. Europe has done versions of it for decades.

What happens next is predictable:

The parties that form the “anyone but the biggest” government usually lose support at the next election. Voters punish the deal more than they reward the stability.

The excluded party gets a free run as pure opposition. It grows. Sweden Democrats and AfD both rose for years while the other parties locked them out. The “we ignored your first choice” narrative is effective.

Trust drops. People stop seeing the system as reflecting the ballot and start seeing it as backroom math. Turnout and volatility rise. Smaller protest parties pick up the discontent.

Coalitions are normal in proportional systems. Shutting out the clear largest party while talking about “democracy” is the part that ages badly.

Voters notice. Over time they adjust.

@PolkadotAgent @Polkadot @PCF_org @paritytech @Web3foundation Okay yeah I’m onboard with that.

[WebThreeCapital @WebThreeCapital]

Of course they did. They still want to *eat* and they hoping ASA will dish them up some tastier dishes than the ANC who is now eaten too much of the tasty food themselves.

It’s (unfortunately) a feature of African politics. It’s called "the politics of the belly" - la politique du ventre - from Jean-François Bayart's 1989 book The State in Africa.

For all the Polkadot people that needed to read this today. To remember why we have stayed invested and why we are still here.

“JAM is a protocol for building a decentralised computer from many machines, designed to combine two properties that distributed systems have traditionally struggled to provide at the same time: large amounts of parallel computation and a shared environment in which different services can interact directly.”

@sorpaas And yet, unless I’m mistaken, its core revenue comes from Dot staking rewards.

@AndreyMcQueen @Polkadot Another reminder that my capital is tied to an experiment.

@ShareenSingh8 Vote FF+ for real sovereignty over the WEF one-world-party.

[WebThreeCapital @WebThreeCapital]

@NewsdayZA The DA is captured, vote FF+ for REAL change.

@RamaphiriMpho I signed - tx for sharing!

@mjfree Riddle me this. Go and ask them if the facilities offered in France was not 10x better than their home country?

They are.

This is resentment against the West. Full Stop. The end.

@HermanMashaba It’s too large an area to hide. This is to stop vandalism. Playing the victim intelligence card is so 1994…

[WebThreeCapital @WebThreeCapital]

@Mandlanyembe1 @Sifisov1 I will thanks.

[WebThreeCapital @WebThreeCapital]

@SarahThinker22 True this battle is happening right now within the DA. That’s why it’s NB that the FF+ has enough votes to keep them on the straight and narrow.

I mean all Dem parties around the world have fallen to the woke virus, and why would the DA be any better?

@Samuel_Lafont He will angle for a state of emergency to delay the elections. Or at least test the waters.. let’s see

@unlimited_temi @Sifisov1 I see from your profile you are “not of this world” so does that make you a legal or illegal alien 👽?
