when i think about this, i think about the french revolution.
historians estimate that pre-revolutionary france had a gini coefficient of 0.59. the top 20% controlled roughly 60% of the country’s income while the remaining 80% starved. that disparity was so violent it brought down a monarchy and birthed the world we know today.
in modern-day south africa, we have a gini coefficient of approximately 0.63, and the top 10% capture around 70% of the nation’s total income. that’s a higher concentration of inequality than the very conditions that caused the french revolution and we’ve surpassed it.
those figures sparked a history-altering revolution over 200 years ago but today it’s just a statistic.
One of the saddest things about liberating yourself from internal biases like internal misogyny/anti-blackness/fatphobia/etc. is #noticing how many people just don’t care to be saved from them lol. You’re locking yourself in a cage + subjecting others to it like WHY
Loose translation:
It's basic human instinct to search for greener pastures. These people (migrants) are here because they want something better for their families. They want to provide for their loved ones. Please, don't beat them up. Please, let there be no bloodshed.
For once I agree with simbas stupid ass 😂. The vote was seriously unfair. Tommy does not deserve to still be here. Neither does Mica if I am being honest #LoveIsland
Anyone that dances in a circle singing “she might have big boobs but I have a big heart” is someone that is clearly threatened. Idk why yall are acting obtuse 😂😂
