I can remember when I was younger people talking about how overpopulation was going to be a major issue as my generation got older, wild how like everywhere but Africa it's the complete opposite, just massive demographic collapse everywhere

He’d have voted Yes. 1) English speaking 2) College educated 3) Urban (Pretoria was more conservative than Joburg but still voted yes) and 4) His families political views

There was a joke about this on SA social media back when he was with Kim K, cause there’s a city in South Africa called Kimberley and a province called North West lol
❗️FF Plus joins government of national unity (GNU) to help restore and rebuild South Africa
The party has signed the statement of intent, and will use this opportunity to implement and promote the party’s policy and its voters’ mandate to save South Africa from ruin.

A big underreported development of the past couple decades has been the dramatic growth of American-style evangelical Christianity across Africa and Latin America
American culture and ideas have almost no reach in Dubai, Istabul, Shanghai, Jakarta, Nairobi, Singapore, Lisbon, Stockholm or Mumbai. You can’t run an empire with London, Toronto and Melbourne
Zuma: There is no Government of National Unity (GNU) but a white-led unholy alliance between the DA and ANC. “This is nothing but a return of apartheid and colonialism.”
There's supposedly between 1-3 million evangelicals in Iran now. They can't get an exact number for obvious reasons, but there’s apparently loads of legit converts rather than just people faking it to try and game western asylum systems. Some converts moved to Armenia iirc.

Not “third world” maybe but Kazakhstan has a lot of Russians (and still a few Germans) , and cities like Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan have large Russian minorities.
White people vastly overestimate Taylor Swifts global reach and star power. She’s a huge pop star….for White people. She doesn’t have as large of a fan base outside of White culture. She doesn’t influence artists outside of her bubble. That’s not the marker of a legend.

Most British universities are just visa fraud operations it seems lmao. My friend lived next door to an Egyptian guy who’s wealthy parents essentially bought him a position on this masters programme so he could migrate there
UNRWA has been getting criticised for their cosiness with Hamas for years, just because Israel made an accusation doesn't mean they were the only ones to do so. Besides they only suspended funding after there was evidence that UNRWA members took part in Oct 7th
The Netanyahu govt's claim that UNRWA is a “front” for Hamas is simply false. The inconvenient truth is that, prior to horrific Oct 7 attack on Israel, it was Netanyahu who enabled Hamas in Gaza—all b/c he wanted to block a 2-state solution. It is well documented—take a listen⬇️
I think we must have some of the strictest school uniform rules out there. We had makeup wipes handed out to us, had our skirt lengths and our tight thickness measured, could only carry one type of bookbag etc. and this was a public school
You want Western exceptionalism in one map? There’s something very deep here.
Only the West lets children dress differently and express their individuality.
@nikicaga
In South Africa it’s mostly Muslims and black communists supporting Palestine and white liberals and black christians supporting Israel. Weird coalitions I know
I just imposed a series of tariffs on goods made in China:
25% on steel and aluminum,
50% on semiconductors,
100% on EVs,
And 50% on solar panels.
China is determined to dominate these industries.
I'm determined to ensure America leads the world in them.
BREAKING: The ANC (centre-left) will lose its majority in the Gauteng provincial legislature, with no party winning an overall majority in the province according to broadcaster
@News24
How is invading a neighbouring country with the intention of overthrowing their government and installing a friendly one *not* the definition of imperialism?
There isn't a Russian imperialism or a Chinese imperialism.
This imperialism exists in your head only.
There is one imperialism: Western imperialism led currently by the United States, the one that's killed tens of millions and overthrown 50+ governments in the last 50 years.

Rewatch the original Mary Poppins film from 1964. The movie was set in an idealised 1910 Edwardian London. Even though we all think of 60s Britain as iconic, there were many hints in that movie that Britain had declined and this was a nostalgic look at the peak of empire and
At this point we just need to accept that since majority of people no longer need children to work on the farms or carry on the family trade there’s no reason to have a ton of kids.
A lot of discourse on this but no, men can’t call women bitches. Do you know how many women hear that word right before they are beaten to death by their husbands???

[TALKING POINT] The ANC has confirmed that Zimbabwe's ruling Zanu-PF will assist the party during its election campaigns and will also be part of the observer missions during the May 29 elections. What is your reaction to this?
