March and March leader Jacinta Ngobese-Zuma clashes with a journalist after he alleged that she had said “people must perish”.

She challenged him to produce a video proving she made the statement.

I’m putting together a compilation video of statements made by ANC ministers about South Africans and will be sharing it across social media platforms. I also plan to run targeted ads aimed at young voters during the election week on TikTok, Facebook, YouTube. These people are too comfortable in their positions and out of touch with the realities of South Africans.

The @SAHRCommission recently released a statement following a telling imbizo, where the ultimate truth shared by 98% of participants was that they all echoed the same sentiments😭😭

Psst… we’ve got the recording, all thanks to a special someone on these streets🔥🔥

A thread 🧵

[Alex Veremeyenko @alex_verem]

Let me trace the timeline here because nobody's connecting it.

Step 1: Scrape the entire internet. Every book, every article, every conversation, every piece of art, every forum post. Do it without asking. Do it without paying.

Step 2: Train a model on all of it. Call it "artificial intelligence."

Step 3: Go to BlackRock's Infrastructure Summit and announce: "We see a future where intelligence is a utility, like electricity or water, and people buy it from us on a meter."

Step 3 is where you sell people's own knowledge back to them. On a meter.

They took the collective output of human thought, compressed it into a model, and now they want to charge you by the token to access a version of what you and everyone you know already created.

One Reddit user put it perfectly: "They stole all this data from us, the people, our life's work, creativity, art, by devouring the internet and blowing through all copyright laws. Now they want to sell it back to us in the form of a utility."

Imagine if someone photocopied every book in the public library, burned the library down, and then opened a subscription service for the copies.

That's the metered intelligence business model.

And they're pitching it to infrastructure investors as though they invented water.

The African student who memorizes Western economic theory is not receiving a neutral education.

They are being taught to see their continent through the eyes of the people who designed its current arrangements.

They will learn about comparative advantage, the theory that says each country should specialize in what it produces most efficiently.

In practice, for many African countries, this means: keep producing raw materials, because that is your comparative advantage.

Do not process them.

Do not manufacture.

Do not climb the value chain.

Export the cocoa bean. Import the chocolate.

Export the cotton. Import the shirt.

Export the bauxite. Import the aluminum.

This is called efficiency.

What it is, actually, is a permanent assignment of African economies to the bottom of every value chain, guaranteed by a theory that presents this arrangement as the natural outcome of rational markets rather than as the result of deliberate historical policy, colonial infrastructure investment, and trade rules written by the people at the top.

But the student learns the theory before they learn the history.

The theory makes the history invisible.

That is the function of the curriculum.

You have left South Africa, but South Africa is your everyday talk.

The saddest part of new Amerikaner life is that you will have to spend the rest of your life talking about South Africa just to remain relevant.

You will have to flatter and appease others every single day just to be accepted in the USA. You will be forced to be an American praise singer.

By playing the victim and lying about South Africa, you have robbed yourself of a good life - and now, a victim is exactly what you will remain for the rest of your days.

No one can tell me otherwise. Being able to support yourself financially without bothering anyone is top tier.

I know a true life story of someone who won $3m, only his wife knew. The kids didn’t know, no one knew. They never change their cars, they only did some few home renovations. And did some little life upgrade. They didn’t change jobs. Change their cars 2 years after.

Anytime they did something for themselves or other people, they claimed they’ve been saving for it. They lived a quiet, peaceful life.
