South Africans are being held back today not by white people and no longer by the direct legacy of Apartheid, but by crime, overregulation, and a grossly incompetent and corrupt government
THREAD: I am one of the biggest supporters of funding the SANDF. I want the SANDF to get more funding so I don't want to be misunderstood in what I am going to say. It's a fact: the SANDF is chronically underfunded. It's a crying shame that it is. BUT
@AtholT@RyanCoetzee@HermanMashaba@AtholT@ME_Beaumont@HermanMashaba You guys either f*cked up and didn't know that your still raising VAT with your recommendation or you knew you were raising VAT and didn't care? Don't know which is more frightening. DA Whataboutism won't save you now.
TRANSLATION: ANC has historically broadcast on two frequencies, one intended for a local audience and one for an international audience.
Channel 1 is for local consumption. The message here is: "Chanting 'Kill the boer,' and worse, is perfectly okay. The National Democratic Revolution demands we must have demographic representivity everywhere, the seizing of the land, and so on. We will sell SA's foreign policy to any dictatorship willing to pay a high enough price."
Channel 2 is for international consumption. The message here is: "We are the leaders of the Rainbow Nation, are fanatically committed to reconciliation and non-racialism, and our foreign policy is guided by our fierce commitment to human rights."
These complaints about "misinformation" and "disinformation" are really an expression of indignation that the Trump administration has tuned out of Channel 2 and are now listening in on Channel 1, and reacting accordingly.
