Plato was 100% correct. You cannot have a functioning democracy if primitive uneducated people are allowed to vote on national matters.

One of the easiest ways to prove that Cyril Ramaphosa and the ANC crime cartel are lying through their teeth about human rights (incl. Gaza) is their unwavering support for this vile regime.

A kid wrote to me in the late 90s that he'd passed his test in History because he was the only kid who know who the Hittites were, thanks to Age of Empires. We tried to add historical versimilitude to Age of Empires. Not because we wanted to be educational, but because we felt

Joyce Carol Oates's observation about Elon Musk could equally apply to many wealthy white South Africans: Entitled, ignorant rent-seekers who think their apartheid-legacy springboards (networks, capital, technocrat qualifications) equal intellect, education and innovation.

BRICS+ is an economic grouping, certainly not a political grouping and definitely not a military grouping. Certain BRICS nations are hostile to each other, but recognise the economic benefits of trade. Hence, styling it as a BRICS+ military exercise makes no sense.

Another product of the culture of lawlessness and functional illiteracy in the Eastern Cape. 'Traditional' farmers who don't understand modern agricultural practices are the #1 cause of FMD. Educate + then punish those who don't behave. That's how a civilised society works.

This is so frustrating. It's getting quite hard not to conclude that the environmental movement is primarily an anti-Western vehicle given its silence about arguably the biggest environmental destruction currently being wrought on the planet. The massive - and potentially

The more tribal a society, the more backwards its culture. It's an anachronism that advanced, civilized societies have mostly left behind.
Lee Kuan Yew saw tribal loyalties as a threat to Singapore's national unity and social cohesion, as tight-knit ethnic enclaves breed very strong internal loyalty over shared lineage. Given what has emerged out of the industrial scale welfare fraud among the Somali community in

Listen up, you piece of shit. For four years, Russians have been killing innocent Ukrainians, raping women, stealing, and destroying an entire country. You piece of trash, you haven't even condemned these war crimes, not once. And now you're all too happy to believe the

France built a giant colonial empire, lost it all, and then within a century, built another giant colonial empire. I don’t think any other country has done this.

Societal addiction to panem et circenses eventually leads to idiocracy and decay. When 'artistic' lowest common denominators like Knowles-Carter and Swift are feted by the media and made billionaires by the mindless masses, you get peak idiocracy in the form of Trump et al.

Even if you account for the massive inequality in the US, this point is still valid. That's how utterly useless African governments are.
America has over 900 billionaires. The African continent as a whole has less than 30. Tell me how capitalism doesn't work?

Debate-worthy selection of 2025 movies: https://t.co/V2gXKTxoR3 Bugonia and Warfare are both thought provoking. One Battle After Another is so-so. Sirāt and Train Dreams look interesting. The Brutalist is an overrated, pompous piece of pseudo-intellectualism.

Dion George may be a duplicitous character, but why does a DA MP and minister have extensive 'private business affairs'? How is this not a massive conflict of interest and an open invitation to corruption?
South Africans with multiple citizenships and/or permanent residence in foreign countries should be barred from holding senior government office. This split loyalty rot started with that scumbag Tony Leon.
