They pretend to oppose universal healthcare because of “corruption”, but in truth they’re against it because they would need to share resources. It’s bad enough already that they have to put up with the uppity Blacks, but the rest of them too? The uppity Blacks feel the same.

The whole Charlie Kirk thing just proved Frank Zappa right

If six political candidates from the same party in an African country died within 13 days of each other before an election, it would be a sign of political instability, “weak democratic institutions”, “corruption” and “authoritarianism”. Instead, this German story is casually

@DailyInvestorSA Lols. No matter how many times you repeat “govt has run out of money” in one article, it will still be incorrect. The rand issuing state can never run out of money. And with GDP so far below what it would be at full employment, comparing debt to GDP is just as stupid.

South Africa is a political experiment on how long you can keep a country with a wealthy racial minority and a desperately poor majority from imploding when policies are determined by how acceptable they are to the financial markets, and not human needs.

Anyone opposing South Africa’s deeper involvement with BRICS is only doing so to protect existing Western dominance and privilege over the material needs of the majority.

Here’s something that feels illegal but isn’t. Company (A) wants to buy another company (B) but does not have the money for it, so it goes to a group of banks to ask for a loan for this, using B’s assets, its low debt levels and promises of future profits as security. However,

A job guarantee scheme is basically the government saying, “Fine, if the market won’t hire you, we will.” The state commits to providing a paid job to anyone who’s willing and able to work but can’t find one in the private sector. Think of it as a safety net, but instead of

Black South Africans don’t think a lot about ownership. To them, a bank is just a bank, a service. Not that it doesn’t matter who owns it, but that they don’t think of it as having owners, just like they don’t think about the robot at the intersection in that way. It’s just

Dr Brigalia Bam’s views reveal the truth about South Africa’s post-1994 trajectory. The ANC assumed democracy alone would dismantle apartheid’s economic architecture. But liberal democracy preserved White capital’s dominance while creating a Black elite dependent on

What would happen to Cyril Ramaphosa if he woke up tomorrow, grew a conscience and decided to take genuine steps to fix South Africa’s mass unemployment?🧵🧵

Rev. Albert Cleage Jr (1971): Black people are trying to be materialistic and individualistic

The reason the South African economy is struggling isn’t just because things are expensive and people are broke. That’s the surface-level explanation. The deeper issue is that money isn’t moving; it’s accumulating in the wrong places. It’s not that there’s no money. There’s

South Africans must stand up for their country 🇿🇦

Your brain is rotten and here’s why. First, social media is designed to reward shallow engagement, so the more you try engaging with everything, the more your critical thinking erodes. The more your brain rots. Second, the algorithm rewards the quick hot take over the nuanced
