Europeans during colonialism killed 26 million elephants in Africa, especially in Ivory Coast, just to make piano keys, but today they want to teach us animal conservation. Hypocrites.
Good Morning, @NelsonHavi
The logistics business you incorporated in Europe during your March 2026 visit is doing exceedingly well.
Congratulations Omwami. 👊🏾
The hardest thing to explain to someone inside the imperial consensus is the concept of structural violence.
They understand individual violence.
One person harms another person.
There is a perpetrator and a victim and a clear causal chain.
What they cannot see, what the entire educational and media apparatus has been carefully designed to prevent them from seeing, is the violence that happens when a system is arranged so that certain people predictably die, predictably suffer, predictably lose, not because any individual decided to harm them specifically but because the overall arrangement of power requires their subordination.
The people of the Global South do not die of poverty because individual Americans wish them dead.
They die because the international economic architecture, the terms of trade, the debt structures, the conditions attached to IMF loans, the intellectual property regimes that prevent technology transfer, the agricultural subsidies that undercut developing world farmers, is arranged, in aggregate, in a way that concentrates wealth in already wealthy countries and extracts it from already poor ones.
And that architecture was designed.
It was negotiated.
It was implemented by specific people in specific rooms making specific decisions about who would benefit and who would not.
This is violence.
It does not look like violence because no one is pulling a trigger.
But the deaths it produces are just as dead.
And when you try to explain this to someone whose entire identity rests on the belief that what they have they earned, and what others lack they failed to achieve, you are not making a political argument.
You are dismantling the story that makes their life make sense.
They will not thank you for it.
They will defend against it with everything they have.
Because the alternative, accepting that their comfort is downstream of other people's dispossession, is not a policy position.
It is an identity catastrophe.
@IanECox I always thought you were weird, always trying desperately to fit into our Afrika, our way of life, our psyche, and customs but failing. Your stupid white ass privilege exposing your fakeness.
Pack your bags and go uproot olive trees in Gaza you ugly cunt.
@DrWamonje@rodgers_adai@DavidNdii The transfer of public assets to private hands by Margret Thatcher in the UK where Francis lives has been a disaster! Case in point privatization of Thames Water.
The fact that you live in the UK and are oblivious of these failures, shows the joke is on you.
@Young_Pharmacie@DavidNdii Every morning you walk into state house to work to further your personal & family's interests.
You spend the whole day pretending to work for us, pontificating & condescending.
Every month you collect KES 1M for this service to yourself.
Lucky Man David. Felicitous.
@DavidNdii@Young_Pharmacie So why then did you accept a KES 1 Million presidential (mis)advisor's job?
This job presumes you have in your heart, the goodwill and fortitude to transform our country to a better state.
If you are seeking intellectual orgasm, state house is the wrong place to find it.
