- “I’m not into politics”What’s a sign of very low intelligence?
- The US was hours away from invading Venezuela, until the Venezuelans started casually patrolling their borders with Russian anti-ship missiles. Then the Americans suddenly remembered there were “Christians” in Nigeria..
- Western media did not show South Africa's presentation at the ICJ, but they then chose to broadcast the entire Zinonist reply. This is what Africans have to deal with wherever they go.
- Nigerians are up in arms after finding out Boko Haram is funded by the United States. I wonder where they thought some random fringe group out in the rural wilderness was getting the money to carry out cross-border terrorist attacks in half a dozen countries.
- Here's a summary of what's happening in Ukraine/Russia. [Thread]
- Boers: They're killing us and we might not last much longer. Help😫 Trump: OK, come on over!🤗 Boers: But...but we have all these lands, businesses, well paying jobs, high quality cheap food, affordable housing and abundant cheap Black labour over here🫣
- Japan has 17 million unemployed university graduates in their 30s and 40s, living with their parents and facing certain old-age poverty. How did this happen?
- Basically, Elon Musk is trying to govern South Africa through Twitter.
- Chomsky: The US is living under a totalitarian culture much worse than Soviet Union Soviet Russia could access BBC, Voice of America, German TV Today Americans are not permitted to hear what Russians are saying The US has imposed constraints on access to info beyond Soviets

- Every developing country in the world should carefully study what Nigeria and South Africa have been doing with their economies over the past 40 years. And then do the opposite.
