just had to counsel a group of imps on the importance of active listening in the workplace it's amazing how a little emotional intelligence can improve the whole eternal damnation experience

Is the SA press dumb, dishonest or deeply biased? Or all of the above?

Who keeps promoting and booking these consultants and activists? How do they get so much coverage?

Why is there never any accountability for false accusations?

What exactly is going on?

This is either carelessly inaccurate or mischievously distorted writing from veteran journalist Ferial Haffajee of @dailymaverick.
The lobbying against BELA is primarily to preserve existing rights/independence – where's the 'battering ram'? FF+ lost votes to the DA in May and is part of the GNU cabinet with the DA – where's the 'fracture' and the 'surge'?
Also, there was no 'symbolic' (ie, racist) orange, white and blue branding at the Monument. These are the colours of the political parties and organisations that participated. Should they have worn ANC green, black and gold?

What causes #poverty? Nothing. It's the original state, the default and starting point. The real question is, What causes #prosperity?

[Acclaimed Journalist @Jonathan_Witt]

Lol, look at this shit leftist.

“Healthcare is not cheap but free”

The doctors work for free.
The nurses work for free.
The porters work for free.
The equipment is free.
The oxygen is free.
The consumables are free.
The electricity is free.
The water is free.

Shit leftist!

For those late-comer anti-lockdown “leaders” who pushed the interventions at the start (often for months or even years!), we would love to hear something like this below from you:

——
“I fell into exactly the sort of groupthink that I had always thought I was immune to.

I never considered a serious cost-benefit analysis because I bought into the narrative that COVID was effectively infinite in cost, so nothing else mattered relative to that.

I immediately compromised on my classical liberal stance that civil liberties are inviolable, treating them instead as just another of the many utilities to be balanced, which is a category error and gross misunderstanding of what civil liberties are.

I. Am. Sorry.

I am, though, the wiser through having failed what amounts to a litmus test.

The moral for me is that, if *I* fell into such an authoritarian mindset despite consciously trying hard to be a scientifically minded classical liberal, then society at large really is deeply and dangerously susceptible to these moral contagions & mass hysterias; we must be ever on guard against them.

We must work to ensure that the failure that is the Great Covid Debacle is understood.

We need to hold culpable the public policy experts, politicians, intellectuals, WHO, and the rest that implemented these evil policies.

Civil liberties must be enshrined as sacred, and not fragile to emergency decrees.

And we cannot forget that I myself am also among the culpable. I, along with billions of others, whipped up bad information about the dangers, pushed hard for the interventions, justified violating civil liberties, and [in some cases] berated those not holding my views.

But I am more culpable than most of the billions. One’s culpable is greater the (i) greater one’s voice and reach, (ii) the longer and more confidently one pushed for it, and (iii) the more one had a formal responsibility for leadership.

And, another moral is that the fact that I had good intentions doesn’t matter. What matters is holding to principles that are good. As it turns out, I did not.

That is what the Great Covid Debacle taught us. And, through what I have learned about my own weaknesses, I believe I can lead us in ensuring we don’t see anything of this kind again.”
——

Now, someone who says THAT ⬆️ is someone many of us in the freedom community would at least excuse. And mayyybe actually accept in a leadership capacity.

But I can count on one finger the number of people that might fit this.

Israel is not committing genocide in Gaza. Hamas is. Every Palestinian who dies in this war is on Hamas’ head.

The Milei Effect is not a result of empty platitudes or saying what people want to hear. The people have changed because they've heard him tell the truth over and over again.
