Crazy how peaceful life becomes when you stop arguing with others, stop chasing others, stop trying to convince others, stop explaining yourself to others, stop forcing connections with others, stop trying to make others understand you, and stop caring what others think of you.
Stop chasing people and forcing connections. No one is busier than someone who is not interested. Their silence is your answer. Their indifference is your clarity. If they want to build with you, they will make time for you; no chasing, no forcing, no guessing, no overexplaining.
My Thoughts on the Cyril Ramaphosa & Donald Trump Meeting:
- It took Johann Rupert & 2 top golfers to organize a meeting with the president of America. Without them, perhaps this would've never happened.
- Trump, Musk & their leadership are patriarchal White supremacists.
- Not much was discussed about the ICJ case that SA pushed against Israel.
- Trump kept interrupting while Ramaphosa was trying to explain but never interrupted the white ppl who were speaking.
- Ramaphosa reminded me that he's a puppet for capital. He's not a representative for ordinary SAns.
- Malema got a good spotlight for ordinary poor SAns. I just don't think it'll be enough to boost votes for the EFF.
- Ramaphosa wasn't prepared for THE ONE MAIN THING we were all expecting them to talk about.
- Ramaphosa asked others to respond, instead of being firm himself.
- Ramaphosa seemed confused about some of the content & allegations and even seemed disconnected.
- Ramaphosa kept laughing and giggling, like a nervous teen in the principal's office.
- It's clear that Trump is a racist and cares nothing for non-white suffering or discomfort.
- Retief Goosen didn't help with the propaganda and seemed to give anecdotal evidence that his own family was under siege.
- Johann Rupert acknowledged farm murders, explained that it also affects Black ppl but went on to expose a much wider and deeper crime issue, which isn't good for tourism nor investment.
- Rupert essentially confirmed that Starlink will be coming to SA and may get a tender to be installed in all police stations.
- Ramaphosa's sucking up was nauseating, as he begged Trump for America to give SA more technology & to help with crime.
- John Steenhuisen has been exposed as a sellout to the DA and white pain in SA.
- Johann Rupert treated John Steenhuisen like a little boy and blamed the DA for failing to resolve crime in the Western Cape, which he said was the worst in South Africa.
- Ronald Lamola was given an approval stamp by Rupert & metaphorically given a pat on the head for not being problematic like Julius Malema.
- Ramaphosa only wanted to talk about business and money. Nothing about the people on the ground.
- No talks of true transformation and land reform in SA.
- No talks of black poverty and suffering in SA, seeming to get worse after 1994.
- Constant embarrassing clutching onto the legacy of Nelson Mandela.
In closing, it was an embarrassing circus for Cyril Ramaphosa and the ANC. We were reminded that big business runs South Africa (& America).
White Supremacy and Patriarchy are alive and well.
Propaganda is alive and well. Most of what was peddled there were lies, but there were not true SAn representatives with a spine to dismiss that rubbish.
Trump is a performer, a bully and a propagandist, who is one step closer to dominating SA, thanks to slave trader, Ramaphosa.
South Africa has no real political leader. Whether in the ANC, DA or otherwise.
Malema has been declared enemy number one, even in America. Alongside Jacob Zuma.
Johann Rupert is now officially the real president of South Africa, and the media houses are not calling it state capture, like they did with the Guptas.
Nicky Oppenheimer might now be the deputy president of South Africa, with Rupert being the darling of America and Western Europe.
Ordinary South Africans, black & white, need to introspect on how they vote, who they support, what businesses they buy from, which media houses they follow.
There is no sovereignty in South Africa. We're still a British colony. And we're an American colony. There are 22 SAn businesses in America. There are 600 American businesses in SA.
Focus on getting key skills, work really hard, invest in your loved ones, go off-grid as much as you can afford, insulate yourself from crime and start looking for other leadership models for you & your people.
Study Jewish & Muslim SAns.
Penuel The Black Pen.
Stay away from people who often tell you to be the "bigger person" to let their sh*t slide. They manipulate and pressure you into tolerating disrespect, avoiding accountability, or suppressing boundaries. You deserve mutual respect, not endlessly accommodating their bad behavior.
