A friend says we must stay and fight on Twitter, and that we can't leave the without protest.

Musk urges people to vote Republican. That's the end of Twitter for me. I will be closing all my accounts.

#FrankenEconomy ~ Officials are richer by corruption and the people are poorer than they were in 1994. Where is the money of the workers being invested. Why do they still retire poor? The people don't need the actual piece of land they lost but the USE of land.

[Tanya Pretorius @fetsiboomsticks]

#FrankenEconomy ~ Land without expropriation. Wasted 8 months debating it when the constitution already allows for it. We need legislation not constitutional change.

[Tanya Pretorius @fetsiboomsticks]

#FrankenEconomy ~ Why can't we have federalism. The reason why the constitution cannot be changed on occasion is because what exists there has not been implemented and tested, so we don't know if it works.

[Tanya Pretorius @fetsiboomsticks]

#FrankenEconomy ~ The leaders are preselected and not elected. We love the party more than the country. We have lost perspective at our own expense. Export does not create wealth or safety net for ourselves. Promoting the private sector at the expense of the nation.

[Tanya Pretorius @fetsiboomsticks]

#FrankenEconomy ~ Trade agreements are a problem as it makes people lazy to manufacture. The raw materials are exported making us a consuming nation. Not enough entrepreneurship is being stimulated due to the A-grade materials being exported. Locals then have to lower quality.

#HegelAntiKolonial ~ If in war you submit it is an understanding that you must obey. You value your life over your freedom.

[Tanya Pretorius @fetsiboomsticks]

#HegelAntiKolonial ~ Extension of private ownership is progress. Hegel is not absolutist that private property is the only form, just the predominant form. Common property extension would be more ethical. Even a family property has a responsible relation to society.

[Tanya Pretorius @fetsiboomsticks]

#HegelAntiKolonial ~ Freedom-based account of why slavery is wrong. What other models are there? Whether it is Eurocentric approach or not, consider the alternatives.

[Tanya Pretorius @fetsiboomsticks]

#HegelAntiKolonial ~ Hegel thinks that when there is a rational state, there will be no slavery. Slavery was the norm historically. Hegemonies go unanalysed. If one wants to resist, the question is How? as a lone voice. It's a slow process.

[Tanya Pretorius @fetsiboomsticks]

#HegelAntiKolonial ~ State property is for the people but is administered by the state.

[Tanya Pretorius @fetsiboomsticks]

#HegelAntiKolonial ~ Property rights. Property is for the family and is no one person's, however, it is administered by the man.

[Tanya Pretorius @fetsiboomsticks]

#HegelAntiKolonial ~ Like slaves, women had no control over their bodies, men's bodies, contractual relations, sexual relations, or political relations.
