So this fella - who has to be a fake profile - figures I'm an "English scumbag typical from UK descendant" screeching like a fishwife in all caps (with multiple !!!!!!!! of course) - and he's going to make me famous for "calling Afrikaners Nazis" (referring to the 70k+ Afrikaners who applied to take Trump's offer recently).

Spoiler Alert: Nazis Don't Like To Be Called Out For Their Nazism

Did The DA Just Offer To Throw SA's Poor Under The Bus? (And Other Questions)
"The ANC-DA led Government of National Unity is on a collision course that threatens to tear apart the less than one year old formation as the April 1 deadline to reach an agreement on the 0.5 percentage point VAT increase fast approaches." - IOL news article March 28, 2025.
Here the Democratic Alliance demonstrates their willingness to throw the poor under the bus by putting the VAT increase on the table to protect themselves and their wealthy backers interests. This speaks to their attitude about the poor, doesn't it?
I mean, the poor don't matter, right? It doesn't matter if they struggle, does it? The billionaires who keep their pockets full are more important - and so on. I remember something about a French queen saying something like "let them (the poor) eat cake", and it not ending too well for her - but I digress.
Politics is a big business. And those who work in it the longest, gain the most wealth. After all, power and wealth go hand in hand. That's why power, more often than not, attracts powerful greed.
This is typical of the DA to throw poor South Africans under the bus to favor the interests of the uber-wealthy. I repeat: typical. They are the gentrification party of SA, after all.
But don't just take my word for it - let's dig a little deeper:

Who Does Donald Trump REALLY Work For?
Donald J. Trump, the 47th US President is a controversial figure - and has also become the most wildly unpopular President in US history - with the possible exception of the two that were actually assassinated (if that can be employed as a means of determining unpopularity).
In fact, the way in which Agent Orange has been behaving since day one of his second term, like a raging bull in a china shop - laying waste to his own country's government, economy, position on the world stage, and undermining any number of global institutions of which the USA formed a crucial part (NATO, the UN, CDC, Paris Accord etc.) could easily make anyone with more braincells than an amoeba (or the average MAGA) wonder just who this guy is actually working for - because it certainly seems hard to imagine an enemy of everything the USA traditionally stands for doing a better job of sabotage and demolition, than Donald Trump.
When asking this question, we need to also first examine the question "what evidence is there for foreign interference in US elections?" So what evidence is there? Is there any? The answer will probably surprise you.

Crying Wolf: The Genocide That Just Isn't
Greetings, good people.
For years now, some South Africans have been spreading the rumor that a genocide was taking place in South Africa - a genocide that has been proceding unimpaired, unattended to by law enforcement, ignored or downplayed by the media, and also ignored by the outside world - a genocide, which conspiracy theorists would have us all believe, is being conducted against white, Afrikaans-speaking South Africans - and farmers in particular.
Nevertheless, after Afriforum went to all the trouble of throwing South Africa under the bus by presenting a cocktail of lies to the man who might very likely be the very last US president and first actual dictator - and all that followed, I decided to take a serious look at these claims that a genocide was underway in South Africa against white South Africans.
What are the facts?

How "Woke" Became A Right-Wing Slur, What It Means, And Why The Left Should Reclaim It
Greetings, good people.
I recently made a post on Facebook in response to all the "Christian love" being shown to anyone daring to criticize the rampaging Nazis taking over the US of A, as well as the loony wannabes here in South Africa - especially those who so notably embarrassed themselves via Afri-treason's trainsmash of an attempt to convince Trump to turn our country into the 51st state. But that's another story for another time.
Coming back to the topic at hand, I was described - derogatorily - as "woke" by a cross-section of these sorts of people. It is a word these days employed as a slur, an insult, a means of mocking those who exhibit human compassion and caring for others - most notably, for those hated by the traditional right wing - to whom I frequently refer to as either fascists, or more accurately sometimes, as outright Nazis.
Today I'll be taking a close look at the word "woke" - and what it really means, where and how it originated, and how it came to mean the things it does today.

South Africa, Land Expropriation Facts vs Fiction & Afriforum's Treasonous Ambitions To Ask Trump To Overthrow SA Govt
To make it clear, Americans wondering what Afriforum is hysterically waving its arms about, this should help explain the new South African expropriation law for the uninitiated:
Afriforum, an organized lobby group representing Afrikaner interests, deliberately played on fears that ALL private property would suddenly start to be expropriated, even along racial lines, and gained a massive increase in their support and membership - albeit a multicultural, multiracial mix of such.
Sadly, I too was swept up in that initial wave of concern initially - but because they claimed to represent the interests of residents and property owners (I am a property owner btw) and said some fairly innoccuous-sounding "right things", I too showed them some support. But it wasn't very long afterwards that I discovered their right-wing leanings and connections to neo-Nazi (others would play that association down and call them "conservative" - I don't like to mince words) groups around the world and in South Africa too, and terminated all levels of my relationship with them a number of years ago - long before this bill was even signed into law earlier this year.
That said, the final product is a lot clearer and easy to understand, and because I have a clear understanding of this now, I can see there's no reason to panic.)

Warning: Panama Is The Key - This Is Why

Does Takealot Support Fascism?
Dear Takealot & CEO Federick Zietsman,
I reacted with horror this morning when I learned that your platform markets or facilitates the marketing of MAGA merchandise, specifically in this case, the MAGA hat in various colors as shown in the attached screenshot.
All Choked Up
Well, their soup is pretty choked up with bigots now, alright.
It's orange and reeks of poop. They're going to need a whole new bowl to get rid of the mess.
Just another way I tried to warn them over the last few years - but nobody really pays attention much to writers anymore, do they? What do we know? We only research and study history and can more easily recognize bullshit artists when we see them.
It's out of my hands.
