Since YCee has awakened Nigerians to the “Olodo uprising” debate, here’s a report on how the big tech giants weaponize their algorithms to dumb down the Nigerian/African population.

It’s my favorite report for the @Spearhead_Af from last year, but evergreen. Make sure you follow the @Spearhead_Af for more of this every single day.

Before there was Adolf Hitler, there was Wilhelm Kaiser, the German King who supervised the killing of hundreds of thousands of Namibia in 1904

keep doing things for you. just for you. for your own recognition. for your own approval. for your own joy. keep doing things that spark confidence and self understanding. keep experiencing yourself.

Pattern recognition and the ability to always ask "why" is the difference between a thinking, independent adult and a zombie who lets Twitter manage his emotions.

It's when you look at the "South Africa Vs Ghana beef" and you ask yourself why the South African xenophobes whom everyone knows have had problems with Nigerians and Zimbabweans since forever, suddenly decided to go after Ghanaians - the relatively unproblematic group of Africans that are both highly visible and universally liked across the continent.

Why would the Afrophobes seeking a quick and easy win against African immigrants skip over the hundreds of thousands of available Zimbabweans (invisible and easy to pick on) and Nigerians (widely disliked across Africa) and specifically start a beef with the one group of Africans that the entire continent knows and likes?

How many Ghanaians even live in South Africa compared to Nigerians and Zimbabweans? Why did Ghana - the most unlikely target with the least potential payoff - suddenly become the focus of South African Afrophobes? What did that contrived, 1-sided beef accomplish except create a narrative that set the entire continent against them? Why would Afrophobes seeking a win against immigrants go after the one group of immigrants that everyone likes and aren't even that many, when there were tens of thousands of Kudakwashes and Emekas to go after?

Why shoot themselves in the foot for absolutely no reason by making an enemy out of the state that had the capacity to immediately charter widebody aircrafts to evacuate its citizens who were then pictured joyfully singing their national anthem on the plane home? Why score such a disastrous PR own goal and completely discredit their own movement by adopting the role of comic book monsters, to the point where all of South Africa's continental soft power is genuinely under threat?

Are these Afrophobes really that stupid?

Or, or...hear me out - they are just patsies and someone else behind the scenes is carefully curating a sequence of events that leads South Africa into a catastrophic loss of diplomatic credibility and cultural influence, which will then be followed by an assault against the South African state itself, possibly by one or more separatist entities that are already being covertly armed and equipped?

Who was recently seen sending Starlink kits to Orania under the Seal of the US First Lady? Whose ambassador recently met with Western Cape separatists after publicly stating that he "does not care what South Africa's courts say"? Who is currently pushing every button to discredit South Africa on the international stage including disinviting the country from the G7 meeting and using disaster photos from DR Congo to falsely claim a "white genocide" in South Africa?

Pattern recognition is what helps you stitch all these data points together in sequence and reach the obvious conclusion that helps you avoid becoming a useful idiot whose thoughts and feelings are dictated by proprietary algorithms owned by billionaire white supremacists who microdose ketamine.

It's a basic adult requirement.

The entire country of South Africa is being systematically framed by social media bots. I've never seen anything like this before.

I've seen astroturfing of online discourse by bot farms, but I've never seen someone attempt to use AI bots to outnumber and drown out an entire country of 60 million people.

These accounts spewing the same "go beck and fix ya kantri" talking points with "🇿🇦" in their username are not real people! Open each account that you see posting that stuff. Check the signup date, open the media tab and check the replies tab so see what they interact with. They're all bots!

Some crazy person somewhere with more money than God is trying to set up an entire country using Twitter bots!

Religious people will describe heavėn as a classless, stateless, moneyless society with no private property, no suffering, and everyone's needs met, then turn around and call communism evił.

It will never stop being funny.

But if you import stolen minerals from the third world to make advanced chips and stealth fighter jets, you get to become a superpower right?
So the people of the third world are like whores to you who are good enough to be f*ucked but not good enough to be brought home as wives, right?

When I was young I really thought things were bad because solutions were complicated

Now that I'm old and realize things are bad because solutions are simple but will inconvenience affluent people (or those who aspire to be) and the religious fanatics.

In almost 100 years, no World Cup host has ever forced game breaks just to show commercials, or harassed the very referees & players of the competition because of where they're from. So emblematic of how the US interact with the planet. Capitalism & imperialism on steroids.

[Richard Medhurst @richimedhurst]

The British oil company that became BP discovered Iran's oil. When Iranians realized they were being robbed, they nationalized it — so MI6 & CIA toppled their democracy in 1953, installing a dictatorship. Iranians rose up in 1979 & the West has never forgiven them for it.

The Black community will celebrate the athlete, the entertainer, and the hustler before it celebrates the thinker. That hierarchy was not self generated. It was installed by a system that needed Black intellectual power to remain socially undesirable within the community

In my lifetime, China lifted 850 million people out of poverty, while the US created one trillionaire. It is clear as day that socialism is the key to our future.

[David Hundeyin @DavidHundeyin]

Hearing that they've violated the IFAB rules of football by turning it into game of 4 quarters like an NBA playoff match, all for the sake of extra advertising dollars has vindicated my decision not to watch this "World Cup."

They've literally changed the format of a 150 year-old sport without telling or consulting anybody, so that Burger King can squeeze in 30 more seconds of advertising for its latest zinger meal combo🤮

Farcical.

There’s something so inherently wrong with a society that can’t go 45 minutes without an ad.

[Suppressed News. @SuppressedNws1]

WOW.

AlJazeera just dropped a ONE HOUR documentary about ISRAEL’s CRIMES against the PALESTINIANS.

This is very HARD TO WATCH.

Wait, so we were told to take shorter showers, turn off the tap while brushing our teeth, and conserve water at every opportunity… but data centers can show up and use millions of gallons like it’s nothing?
