Cynical: With A Pinch of Salt

Don't Trust Anyone Who Says "Trust Me!" I feel guilty that I have not been writing new posts. It is a sign that I have not been learning much on the social aspect. I have been writing other things, which I will hopefully share in a few months. I have learnt a lot of stuff.  Let me start by putting it all out there! Everything is basically a lie. Yes, the statement is wide and overreaching, and maybe a bit nayv. But hear me out. The media (News agencies/houses) will at best tell you half-truths, and the government strategically comminucates so to attain a soft landing. Others call it propoaganda. To get the truth and know what's behind the vail/curtain (Holy of holies, eish sorry), you have to intentionally dig deeper. People are usually self-serving and will only tell you what they want you to hear, in other words, what's in their best interest. Easy access to information sources has made digging easier and difficult at the same time is information overload and me...

Wakanda Forever - Africans Dreaming (ZZzzz)

Wakanda Forever - Nothing to Go Back to. Let's take a moment and reflect, Wakanda is real and it's forever. First and foremost, the death of Okonkwo will forever haunt Africans. The illiterate will be haunted even if they don't know about his tragic death.  Why are some of our African kings coronated by the representatives of the colonial masters? Okay,  African kings were abducted and shipped to Europe to be humiliated, and others simply vanished. Assassinations continued to the modern world, for instance, the assissination of 20th-Century African leaders such as Malcohm X, Thomas Sankara,  , Patrice Lumumba,  Steve Biko, Dr Martin Luther King, and the list goes on. These were great leaders that I don't think we will ever have anytime soon. They were a great hope of Great Africa. These deaths have changed the course of an African's life anywhere in the world. Ethiopians fought and won the Battle of Adwa. At that time the spirit of Mother Africa arose. Will we ever ...

The Weekend Class Clash

Part Reason Why Your Weekend Maybe Noisy Class discussions started heating up in the 19th century. Karl Marx and his friend looked at class from a materialist point of view in the communist manifesto. But class was here before capitalists, I mean in most cultures, whilst in some cultures such as that of the Khoisans, class is rebuked. There are instances where one can be a capitalist without any class at all. You see this in the zeitgeist with the proliferation of public display of ill-gotten gains. To avoid class, ideological, religious, and racial weekend clashes, South Africa was built different, segregated! Nowadays, with our free market, segregation is achieved through pricing out. Racial classification is achieved that way. Unfortunately or fortunately, depending on how you assess it, sectional titles are the low branch easily reached by many. Hence, this makes sectional-title complexes the battleground of "The Weekend Class Class". To live in peace with your neighbours...
