Can’t stop thinking about how Wall Street is celebrating Elon Musk becoming the world’s first trillionaire, while he single handedly eliminated humanitarian aid that will lead to the needless deaths of 4.5 million of the poorest children in the world in the next 4 years.

I'm re-engineering my timeline. I've seen enough about the trending topic and never-ending exchanges between SANs and other Africans. I understand how social media works (the beauty & dangers) and how Elon has made it easier for hate to fester amongst us. This shit is dangerous

[provocation is good for society @khanyisile]

so many people have been radicalised by trading insults online. this is not the last wave of xenophobia at all.

@iGhostAccount In our conversation the other day, I spoke of patterns. This is what I meant. Fomenting unrest using real issues. All you need is a pressure point, and all these countries have one theme in common.

[Phumzile Van Damme @zilevandamme]

Ya? In this doll please point out where South Africa’s “DNA,” is xenophobic. Xenophobic violence is wrong, period. Anywhere. South Africa included. But let’s operate with facts and data. Stop generalising.

They can’t start fights with European nations because they need their hospitals for their President to die at.

[mamncane @Kim_Khandashisa]

I don’t blame anybody who feels this way about South Africa right now but I also need them to match that energy and double it for their leaders and governments.

[Hind Rajab 🇵🇸 ♥️ @LungeloN_Zulu]

Did you pick up any depth of negative feeling towards their own governments??

Literally can’t watch Seinfeld anymore, once one of my fave shows. This man is a disgusting and proud racist who doesn’t support the genocide of a people but doesn’t even recognize their existence. He should be shunned from polite society, but, y’know, the ‘Palestine exception’.

Now you are digressing and changing your own position where you agreed people should not take the law into their own hands. That is why I am saying sometimes we just argue for the sake of it.

It has been 15 years, correct, but those protests did not turn violent merely on the back of immigration alone. It is a South African culture that our protests are violent; see any service delivery protest that burns down schools, digs holes in roads, or the recent big one, the July unrest that left hundreds dead and shut down many people’s businesses.

No one is objecting to protest. We will both agree that the March in March protests have been largely peaceful, though there were a few instances where people were beaten on video and some South Africans were turned away, accused of being foreigners. Worse, in Mossel Bay, over 50 shacks were burned and many people were displaced, mostly South Africans from Limpopo being chased by AmaXhosa in the area. Two Mozambican nationals died. A third person, a South African, was disputed as one of the victims of the violence, with people branding him a thief who deserved to die. Everyone went quiet when the person he was alleged to have stolen from, the shack owner, was released from jail and spoke on TV saying the boy was running away from a mob…. many things can be true at once, and we do not have to trade one truth for another just for our own expediency.

There is no instance where we should accept violence. None. No instance where citizens should be allowed to take the law into their own hands.

The very same March in March, referencing the peaceful protests, can be used as an example of that and should not be besmirched by defending violence that its own leaders are also cautioning against. Not calling out violence and instead validating it does a disservice to the very same movement.
