@kimheller3 "Changing who governs without changing the underlying relations of power is not transformation."
This I agree with, but not for the reasons you think.
The rest of your post is regurgitated Marxianism and misunderstood Freirenistic hogwash.
@talkcentss Conclusion 1:
The economically literate vote different to the economically illiterate.
Conclusion 2:
Those who vote for communism or socialism, stay poor.
Conclusion 3:
Education makes a huge difference in understanding the economic surface.
@WorldofThabiso@Our_DA No confusion.
People are hurting. Petrol prices, corruption, potholes, crime, no water, sometimes water but with cholera.
Also, only 4.6% of people are "confused". (X users)
The other 90%+ know EXACTLY why the voters voted they way they did.
@Joy_wa_Afrika@WorldofThabiso@Our_DA LOL. Tony Leon!? Good riddance!
A political party that feels pressure to "transform", is weak.
You stand by your beliefs, or you don't.
VF will learn this lesson soon too..
Hence why I didn't vote for either of them!
FG is the only way forward!
@denialmustend@Awande277@ClutchPlatePB And yet, there's no actual evidence that THEY (Afriforum) did.
Genocide, maybe.
White Genocide? Nope.
Never.
Happened.
@khumo_k7 I know at least 14 people personally, all black, who voted DA.
They're gatvol of ANC promises and don't agree with "victory or DEATH" slogans, so ya... they voted DA.
They want electricity, water, fixed roads!
But keep telling yourself its a race thing.
Struggle.Struggle.
@SpoiltHousewife@theKurnel Exactly.
This is why people voted the ANC out. They paid for services they never got.
But but but.... it's "white racists!!!"
Really?
This is why we can't have nice things. We can't seem to just look at the problem, we have to add skin colour.
@300bars@Escort_emmanuel Right!?
It's like the default mode in a lot of people on X from SA.
"ah ah ah. I now have to pay for electricity - it's apartheid!!!"
This is why we can't have nice things.
@Chris80109155 Nah, citizens of all colour schemes just got gatvol of potholes, no water, corruption and no interest in actual education/job creation.
Has nothing to do with black or white votes.
Now go pedal your racist kak somewhere else.
@SpoiltHousewife Sorry, no.
I'm not voting ANC (communist) or DA (socialist).
None of the other 546 parties represent me in any meaningful way.
I will be voting random independent.
@Mmasekgoba That's what you get when 546 parties contest the local elections, and only half of people bother to vote.
We need maximum 6 parties and mandatory voting.
ANC, for communists
DA, for socialists
ACDP/Al-Jamah-Ah, for religious
VF, for conservatives
FG, for libertarians/freemarket
@BrockRiddickIFB I agree.
Sadly, I grew up in a world where I could legally fly aircraft and drop bombs on people, at 18, but it was a criminal offense for my girlfriend (20 at the time) to have sex with me, because I wasn't 19 yet.
Like, WTH man!?
@NdumoZindela@WorldofThabiso@Our_DA 4.6% of all South Africans are on X.
So if you ask people here if they voted DA, maybe they didn't. But that's only 4.6% of the population, so, quite pointless actually.
@MalaviMmapimele Eish boet.
You know wards have different amounts of people nè?
This is why we have kak politicians. Because people don't understand how voting actually works and why local ward elections are MORE important than general.
Nee fok bra.
