“In my study of communist societies, I came to the conclusion that the purpose of communist propaganda was not to persuade or convince, not to inform, but to humiliate; and therefore, the less it corresponded to reality the better. When people are forced to remain silent .....

@MxolisiBob The black population has grown massively since the late 40s. Numbers wise, the natives have flourished. Life expectancy also increased well pre HIV. HIV wrecked that. I think the apartheid regime wanted strong literate wage slaves.

@samued5r @visegrad24 I'll take that as I am correct. Again.

@usefulhaiku Let's see. I tend to agree, but we live in unusual times. No doubt there fat to cut. Just waste to cut.

@samued5r @visegrad24 The correct answer is that they couldn't read or write. Any language. So we will never know. Unless you feel they were too childlike to have ever cut deals with the settlers? Simply didn't have the agency to do so.

@samued5r @visegrad24 If it was sincere, what language should have been in? If such a deal was possible, how should it have been written up?

@MxolisiBob The native population did bloody well under the jack boot of the genocidal apartheid regime. They were shit at the genocide game. It's almost like the did the opposite. Weird.

@EMukumbo @Che_4real It would be nice if they updated the 36k limit. Increased each year to account for inflation..

@samued5r @visegrad24 Point taken, but just out of curiosity, what language should it have been written in?

@michaelzlin True. As long the chosen representatives know where and on what that money is spent. If they haven't, it's on them. If they do check and there is irregular expenditure, then the bureaucrats get fired. It's very likey there has been scope creep in the agencies.

@boof_ivermectin @ClassFirst2 @BIkLibertarian @martyrmade You should contest it. If you think the people living throughout southern Africa could write or read, you know are very wrong. None of the Buntu languages were written.

@ClassFirst2 @boof_ivermectin @BIkLibertarian @martyrmade Really. Where?

Hells teeth.

@pataderp @LeoMcoboth55625 So both. I've read a ton about these raids. Cassinga and some of those Rhodesian war raids. Met a bloke who parachuted in on Cassinga. Many of women killed. AK and SKS welding women. Such bullshit. Like Hamas.

@IsmailAbramjee @DodgyIdealist Yes. I mean no, that is not possible for Doge not being the federal government and all that, but that would perhaps be somewhat revealing.

@JustXavierB Yup. Let's see how it plays out but that wild.

@IsmailAbramjee PEPFAR isn't the only funding we receive. A truck load of other funding has been paused. The NPO sector is scrambling. Environmental, arts, journalism. A whole bunch. But that doesn't explain the purpose of the pause.

@ori0n7 @marcel__za @JustXavierB @RT_com @Freshermoon2 @nielkraai3000 Added to that areits ability to genuinely supercruise, it's all aspect stealth and it's ability fly fooking high and choose with leisure the time and place of the fight.
