One of the many reasons I left NRM was the whole idea that you're not allowed to think for yourself. I would often make posts criticizing government dysfunction and corruption, and then my inbox would be flooded with messages asking why I’m fighting the government!
If for instance there was a corruption scandal involving some NRM bigwig and the opposition was up in arms against that person, you were expected to defend that person no matter how much loss or damage the person had caused.
Surprisingly, once Gen. Museveni ordered for the investigation of that person or took some action against them, you were expected to immediately shift goalposts and condemn him or her. If you continued defending that person after Museveni had spoken, you would be branded a traitor - ekipinga. Likewise, if you went to public hospitals and talked about the terrible conditions there, you were branded opposition. If Gen. Museveni came out and said the same thing, they would clap hands and nod in approval. So I asked, "What is my head for if I am not expected to make a judgment call on what is wrong or right?"
Sadly, that behavior has persisted up to now or even gotten worse. You all saw how NRM apologists were on these streets defending Anita Among despite all the evidence of grand corruption. But when the system turned on her, they joined the chorus of those condemning her. Seamlessly. Shamelessly!
I shuddered yesterday when I saw the number of apologists defending the shootings in Kisekka market. I'm sure if Museveni issues a statement today condemning that behavior, you will see how they instantly pivot and join in the condemnation. Suddenly, they will be "deeply disgusted" by these unpatriotic actions that harm peace, security, and tourism.
So, what is the purpose of having a brain if you can’t use it to think for yourself and discern what is right or wrong?
Mulekere awo kuvoola abantu. Not everyone is as rich as you are, and not everyone can afford what you consider “decent” clothes.
If you have a point to make, especially when you’re trying to educate or advise people, learn how to present it respectfully. No matter how valid your message is, once it’s delivered in a demeaning or emotionally charged way, people are more likely to focus on your attitude than your point.
And by the way, what exactly is decency? Can someone define it? Or are we still so backward as a society that we judge people based on appearance?
What was the point anyway, does the Bible he reads surely call for such from him?
@eddykenzoficial@ghettokidstfug@shakira@burnaboy@FIFAWorldCup It's good you also know that the world is watching even what this government does to the people and you chose to stand with the same government that kills, abducts people, imprisonments, corrupt government. You even go a head praising what it doe.
