@nickopiyo The ban now means, finding you with these equipment (which must be exposed outdoors to access satellite connectivity) guarantees you time behind bars... 🤔

We shall not leave Uganda for development elsewhere but rather aim harder to develop our motherland Uganda towards absolute collective social economic transformation......FOR GOD AND MY COUNTRY
Palmer Luckey blow Joe Rogan's mind with the EagleEye helmet—straight out of a sci-fi fever dream.
This thing turns soldiers into walking supercomputers: real-time AR overlays spotting enemies through walls (X-ray vision via drone feeds), blue force tracking so no friendly fire, and AI commanding drone swarms right from your forehead. No more fog of war; it's like Call of Duty cheats for the battlefield.
Palmer built it on his own dime, fixing what the Army's clunky IVAS couldn't.
If this deploys, infantry becomes unstoppable.
Game-changer or Skynet starter pack? What do you think—hype or holy shit?
I'll say it in less diplomatic language than you: Bobi Wine is a foreign-backed dumbass with a completely empty head and zero political potency beyond the ability to noisily and rhetorically posture as Museveni's "opposition."
If I were Ugandan and I had to choose between the ruling foreign-backed client strongman and a younger, foreign-backed puppet opposition challenger, I'd choose the former because at least Museveni is old and doesn't have long left, so his last few years will give Ugandans a window to develop the actual political awareness (not their sloganeering soundbite stuff) needed to find a genuine alternative.
If Bobi Wine mistakenly gets into power, he will be Museveni in 1986 - a young, foreign-backed upstart with little understanding of his place in the world, who leverages his foreign backing to hold on to power without having any real ideas or plans for what he wants to do with power - because his entire plan was to seize it from The Other Guy.
Step 1: Defeat the Dictator
Step 2: ??
Step 3: Uganda transforms into Shenzhen
Like Museveni, due to his painfully obvious lack of animating ideology or philosophy, he will make a few semi-decent noises for a couple of years, and then his intellectual bankruptcy will take over his entire government, which will devolve into petty squabbling, use of state power to settle private scores, witch hunting of political enemies, and conversion of the state into a reward program for loyalists and praise-singers
And every step of the way, he will throw parades and congratulate and praise himself everyday for the amazing feat of having triumphed over His Predecessor The Terrible Dictator, even as Uganda continues to be an extractive, $1,000 per capita GDP colonial economy that doesn't create wealth for Ugandans or improve their lives in any meaningful way - exactly like Museveni.
If Ugandans are ready to oust the status quo, they shouldn't waste it on a younger carbon copy of the status quo. It would be such a tragedy to go out and risk death by Museveni in an electoral or popular revolution only to end up bringing in a millennial Museveni. They should identify a real alternative first. Someone who has a real ideology (not amorphous nonsense like "fighting corruption/ending repression"); someone who doesn't have the long arms of NED/KAS/FCDO controlling him; and someone who understands industrialisation, infrastructure and education as the only national priorities for an African post-colonial state (not "press freedom" and "gay rights").
But if understanding and identifying such leadership is too hard for Ugandans, and it's much easier to queue up behind a moron who became popular for being a singer, hoping that he will somehow lead the wholesale economic and political decolonisation that Uganda needs to stop being poor, then my commiserations. Your future looks like Nigeria.
