Apartheid ended 30 years ago. If you’re still blaming white people for your lack of progress, maybe it’s not apartheid, maybe it’s you. The ANC had three decades, trillions in revenue, and zero results. But sure, let’s talk about ‘white privilege’ while you defend a government that steals from your future and hands you slogans in return.
Your generation inherited a broken system and made it worse. And now you cry ‘inequality’ while looting, burning schools, and celebrating incompetence. That’s not oppression , that’s failure.
Shutting down Afrikaans in the public schools was the greatest error ever made by the ANC policy makers.
You shutdown their language, they build their own Afrikaans schools.
You shutdown Afrikaans in universities,they build their own Afrikaans universities.
Actually the move is so stupid because it takes away the chance of unity and rainbow nation.
Cant and self-righteousness are de rigueur at events like the “Global Progressive Mobilization Plenary.” South African President Ramaphosa’s speech strictly adhered to tradition. Some of the funniest moments:
--He decries inequality and poverty, speaks of protecting workers, and says money spent on illegal wars should be used for building hospitals and schools. Yet he presides over a government and party that are comprehensively corrupt and steal money from some of the world’s poorest people, to the great detriment of his country’s health care and educational systems.
--He flatters his audience for “showing those who are powerful that you will not be cowed,” as if he and other speakers are not among the powerful. It’s a great glimpse into the third-worldist philosophy that it is only the West that wields power negatively. The developing world, by contrast, is only ever resisting the West’s malign power, even when it is unleashing horrors on its own and other people.
--Relatedly, he condemns wars of aggression and says the UNSC is toothless (correct) because some of its members are undermining the global order. It’s safe to assume he was referring to the US here while pretending Russia hasn’t invaded Ukraine and Georgia and that China hasn’t invaded its neighbors’ waters in the South China Sea. Again, the “moral” standard anti-Western ideologues use only ever condemns in one direction because it isn’t grounded in genuine morality. It is grounded in fighting the West by hook or by crook.
--He frequently speaks of democracy and laments the violation of human rights around the world, yet his government and party support many of the globe’s most aggressively anti-democratic and abusive regimes like those in China, Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Russia, and Venezuela.
--His first invocation of Palestine sparks by far the biggest response despite his speech also hitting most of the other progressive orthodoxies. Palestine really is the current central dogma of global progressives, in part because they believe it is a potent weapon against the West.
--He (again) congratulates himself and South Africa for taking Israel to the ICJ. SA’s government and the ANC do so frequently, yet the hypocrisy of it still amazes.
How can the South African Government, which is taking Israel to the ICJ, say that there is no reason to cut ties with Iran when there are well over 30,000 reasons why they should cut ALL ties? We truly have an evil government.
