#south africa is a joke

[former-leftist-jew]

Wow. OC basically admitted that judging a nation or gov't character has fuck-all to do with their integrity or actions, just whether they're using "the RIGHT language."

As Ronald W. Dworkin pointed out in his article The New American Anarchists:

“Self-esteem,” “negative self-image,” and “self-improvement.”

All these words can exist without being connected to anything that does exist. They have no well-defined cognitive content. They lend themselves to illusion because a person can project his or her own desires, hate, and fears onto them. They can mean whatever the person says they mean...

Radicalized knowledge workers reveal a similar trend, spending a large amount of time, both at work and at home, on social media...

Rahman [a BLM supporter] spent much of her life amid abstract concepts. She spoke “the language of abolitionist Twitter,” one writer observed. She was “steeped in the language of social justice and racial politics.” Ill-defined terms such as “race,” “gender,” “LGBTQI,” and “environmentalism” seem to have shaped her crude perception of reality...

The old American students who celebrated the purposeful killing of innocent Israeli civilians revealed a similar obsession with abstract words, constantly referring to phrases such as “colonialism,” “apartheid,” “humanitarian,” and “identity.” The words reflect the same creepy simplicity of mind that chills the blood.

Me and my dad have celebrated this day for the last 5 years soo I thought might as well post some jokes here! And art!!!!!!

Here's a little joke for you guys from me!

Police arrested two kids yesterday, one was drinking battery acid, the other was eating fireworks. They charged one – and let the other one off.

What do you call a pedophile with no legs? Creepy crawly!

And for my fellow saffas!

What did South Africa have before candles? Electricity!

If you ever feel useless...remember taxis have indicators :^]

1- Kan jy vir my kos gaan kry?

2- Knop knop

1- Wie's daar?

2- Lig.

1- Lig wie?

2- Lig jou gat op en doen dit jouself.

Feel free to add you own jokes for today! Even after today!

Without lights and without texts.

It's so good to want to watch a new show with one of your favorite actors, only to find out that it's explicitly only available in the USA, Australia, Europe, and Canada.

what about us down here????? can't we watch nice stuff too????

[deadheaddaisy]

Oh, you can't just fire people with 24 hours' notice?

Fascinating.

Also hey, guess what a number of African countries have in place? And where unions are a way of life to protect workers?

Wow what an interesting way to say "countries with strong employee protection laws aren't at the mercy of tech billionairs in late stage capitalism" but with a real boot licker angle.

I feel like that was kinda mean but I can't interpret that response in any way outside of a call out post about how I think about my home continent more than the one that has a population of a few hundred at most.
