South Africans, at what point do we admit that we have normalised failure?
How do we accept a system where citizens can lose up to 41% of their salaries to tax, yet corruption continues to thrive, rural roads remain undrivable, municipalities collapse, and local councillors operate with little to no accountability?
Taxation without visible service delivery is not governance; it is betrayal.
This country does not lack money. It lacks ethical leadership, consequence management, and political will. We cannot keep comparing ourselves to countries like Qatar and pretending the difference is luck. The difference is leadership, planning, discipline and accountability.
South Africa deserves a government that respects every rand taken from its people. The amount of tax we are paying is just insane😭💔
I’m begging South Africa — can we please remove the ANC so we can finally build a proper country? 🇿🇦 We deserve better. From Guptas to the CAT mafia, extracting state resources. how much damage do we have to see before we see that these people are hindering our progress?
Colombia President Gustavo Petro:
"There is total immunity for presidents attending the Assembly, and the U.S. government cannot condition the opinion of the U.S.
The fact that the Palestinian Authority was not allowed entry and that my visa was revoked for asking the U.S. and Israeli armies not to support a genocide, which is a crime against all of humanity, demonstrates that the U.S. government no longer complies with international law.
The United Nations headquarters cannot continue to be in New York."
[THE RECORDING OR PHOTOGRAPHING OF POLICE OFFICIALS WHILE ON-DUTY OR EXECUTING THEIR DUTIES]
There is no prohibition that prevents a private person from recording a police official while the police official is on duty or exercising any power or duty as a police official in public.
A private person is not committing an offence, albeit interference with a member, defeating or obstructing the course of justice or any other offence, merely because he or she is recording the conduct of a police official.
Arrest under these circumstances will be unlawful.
The device used by a person to make such recording or to take a photograph may not be seized, damaged or destroyed merely because a recording was made or a photograph taken of a police official. In addition, such a recording or photograph does not constitute a contravention of the Protection of Personal Information Act, 2013 (Act No. 4 of 2013) ("POPIA") and police officials cannot rely on their right to privacy to protect their identity or conduct.
Pearl clutching and outrage at Glastonbury performers.
Silence over this barbarism.
This is where we are.
We have the receipts.
There will be a reckoning.
“Tel Aviv isn’t safe”. Imagine if all the borders were shut and Israelis were told to go north. No, south. No, north. No, south. By foot. Carrying all their belongings. Carrying their children. While dodging snipers. As 2000lb bunker bombs were dropping. For 77 years.
Who could have imagined in 1977 as I left the theater absolutely amazed after seeing Star Wars that 47 years later the hero of that movie would turn out to be a tremendous fucking asshole.
Our greatest joy is making fans young and old smile.
I love what we're doing and we're just getting started.
New exclusive sound fonts about to be announced with features never before offered in the saber community.

I have stopped all trips for super fans, we have athletes & artist who are struggling to raise money to attend sporting events and exhibitions, how do we justify paying for fans? We shall no longer be paying for these trips and will use that money where it’s needed the most.
Im taking these idiots to court.
The MSM is insane.
I have no idea who this moron is or what he has even done.
If a girl kills herself, or crashes her car, or fake rape claims a man - do we talk about her being a Taylor Swift fan because her music was on her spotify?
I have never once encouraged violence.
I encourage emotional control and stoicism.
The Matrix is angry because they want men weak, as I encourage them to be both mentally and physically strong.
