CW: racism, riots, etc
- Woke up
- Protests everywhere because corrupt ex president got jailed and ethno-nationalistic violence and xenophobia, and general mass unemployment and extreme extreme poverty. (People are stealing flour and maize meal, like it's extremely desperate times)
- Can't go to work because of it, hope I'm not fired. (Boss actually wanted me to come in, fuck that I'm not risking my life for your shitty business)
- military and riot police deployed country wide
- :reddit-logo: posting racist "rooftop Korean" esque memes and videos of people firing into a crowd of protestors on r/southafrica (actually the least of my concerns)
- Fuck it back to bed
Jesus, I didn't know S. Africa was that bad, stay safe.
Only got that bad recently because they arrested Jacob Zuma, the corrupt ex president a few days ago. The situation is complicated because Zuma was a liberation and struggle hero, he spent 10 years on Robben Island with Nelson Mandela. Which means a lot of people are still loyal to him, because of his work in the past. Sadly after being president from 2009-2018 I think he was extremely corrupt and terrible, worst examples include building his own homestead with 20 million USD of taxpayer money, and saying that a shower can cure HIV/AIDS, in a country where 1 in 5 adults under 50 has HIV. Also Zuma is of Zulu ethnicity, which leads to the xenophobic and ethno-nationalistic attacks against others. Venda people have been the most effected recently as the current president (Cyril Ramaphosa) is Venda. There are accusations of betrayal and breaking agreed social contracts by the ANC jailing one of its own, especially such an important figure. The situation is complicated, this seems to have been the spark for such rioting. But there is also lots of xenophobic and ethno-nationalistic attacks and innocent people being harmed. And then the local chuds inflame the situation by posing like "rooftop Koreans" protecting their property. Lots of dogwhistles about"property rights"
Lot of crazy straight up fash shit on the local sub. Stay safe comrade

Fire :reddit-logo: into the fucking sun.
r/southafrica seems just like a place were Afrikaner shitheads meet up. I'm not going there. Do you see any movement at the moment that could get South Africa out of the mess it is in now?
We should just annex Cuba at this point. They tried governing themselves when we let them be independent, time to take back that mistake. Annex Cuba, free the people, make them US citizens.

Death to America.
:amerikkka:
Crazy how the US and media supported her and then when they find out she’s a socialist then nothing.
I'd like to congratulate the Taliban on winning the war in Afghanistan.
Am I a bad poster for only logging on while at work? Or am I a good poster for only being on here while I'm getting paid?
I used a men's public restroom for the first time today. (I transitioned over the pandemic.) It's kind of a strange time, gotta say.
You can have multiple mains??? :walter-shock:
The sheer power of your posting. I can only dream of achieving this one day. :inshallah:
Do you wanna know how I got these mains? :joker-gaming:
My fellow shitposters were drinkers...and leftists. And one night, they go off crazier than usual. "John Brown did nothing wrong!"
The reddit mods get the ban hammer to defend their liberalism. My friends don't like that. Not...one...bit.
So, me watching, the mods ban the whole sub, shit posters laughing while they do it. They turn to my account, and they DM, "Why so leftist?" They come at me with the ban hammer - "Why so leftist?" They stick the ban to my main account - "Let's ban the leftist shitposters!" And... why so many mains?
Going to lean full into calling Trump the actual president of the USA ala :guaido-despair: and say that the stop the steal protests and Jan 6th. was the american version of #SOSUSA and we need immediate outside assistance of countries like Brazil to get Trump back into office and stop Biden's communism.
football hooligans are scum, usually far right. but, I just saw a tik tok of England fans smashing up a Lamborghini for being Italian lmao
When do the US-located "hands off cuba" protests start? Can't wait to get beat up by cops while gusanos can annoyingly cry about freedom and oppression with a thin blue line flag to their heart's content
Biden just commented on this stuff which means it's legit now
