Many people forget that fact
While a terrorist he would still know that this would ruin South Africa
The moment the ANC took power everything went south
EVERYTHING
He's probably in his grave like. "BOI YOUR RUINING IT, ZIMBABWE DID THE SAME THINK YOU IDIOTS"
Dude the almost nuked south Africa...
There was a nuclear power plant that they broke
Oh boi.
Yes? @épée
Just Introducing you m8
Hey
Utopias. An impossible ideal. The idea of what it truly is changes with the zeitgeist, often reflecting both our greatest fears and values. We may never achieve the idea of Utopia, but we can strive for a betterment of our current lives and lives of others. What that entails, however, is the first hurdle
Im listening... @zerohero007

Wait
Because thinking of it now, some of the poor people I've meet are the nicest and most Grateful people I have ever met
what about the I see so I grab
poor guys
Hmmm there are those individuals too...
That begs the question.. why is there such a drastic difference
You either see and grab or your nice and grateful
I've found that being poor makes people reflect. The free time they have and the powerlessness they feel almost makes them look back o themselves
It's like there's no mid way
I wouldn't say that if it was for gang members as they have people to fall back on who mold there personality. True homeless with no one to fall back on have nothing. And that gives there personality everything.
Wow
...Besides the drugs they turn to, so they can cope.
Poverty seems to have a humbling effect on people
@épée For me, Communism is an early industrial era Utopia. Atomic era/Late Industrial era Utopia is something akin to Brave New World. A scientifically advance technocracy with an emphasis on reality and the capacity to ignore it in favor of constant pleasure. The information age Utopia is Player One Ready, in which we can no longer escape reality and must admit to our inability to create Utopia irl. But online is our Oasis.
But in my opinion such technology is far from utopia. Like a mirage it is not real. It is simulated happiness.
In other words, the modern zeitgeist is that the world is fucked, and we have responded by retreating into the last known refuge of freedom and the last chance to find something that will better our world.
@Harry C I know, but it is reflective of how we feel. The oasis in the book not only held an escape from reality but a chance to better reality. Like a mirage of an oasis to man dying in a desert.
Congratulations, @zerohero007 for reaching level 1!
