@AcidOverride that is true!!!

Re: Land; In 2016 i predicted zuma will be out a year before elections 2019,early 2018 is what i said when zuma will be out and ramaphosa will replace him. I predicted the anc will target farms to seize portions of it and leave the "business side/farming" intact. It seems i need to give more of my predictions😂 The mineral resource connections have been made regarding the land also,i checked out a few of them and found mining of gold/diamonds even fracking in northern cape mentioned. The companies want prospecting rights,much easier when a farmer no longer owns it. As for thinking farmers sitting back like zimbabweans did in 2000 when their farms where seized,the government must be fools.

If a civil war ever breaks out,it will be a full on guerilla warfare,and who is the masters of guerilla warfare who teached the world?...thats right.. us afrikaners. The british couldn't defeat the boers by military means. 600thousand british vs 40thousand boers they only won because they put our women and children in concentration camps. Jan smuts even said the war can still continue,but we had to stop due to concentration camps.All i know is If there is one guy you dont mess with that is a south african boer

@gonzo especially if you've put him with back against wall.

2018-08-16 10:27:59 UTC  

@Roovdwalt There has to be a center... We might just not recognise it if we call anyone to the left of us a communist and anyone to the right of us a nazi.

2018-08-16 10:29:42 UTC  

ME : I disagree with BEE
THE LEFT : You alt-right white supremist
ME : I don't think Trump is good for the US
THE RIGHT : You liberal snowflake

2018-08-16 10:31:16 UTC  

so the question remains, who represents an oke like me... my views are not homogenous with either the right or the left... I agree with each on some issues, and disagree on others.

I can't be the only one - I feel like it is an untapped market politically

2018-08-16 10:42:52 UTC  

I used to think that centrist politics were noble and good, but I've since grown up.

2018-08-16 10:44:48 UTC  

I don't see the appeal in 50/50 in all things. I am in no way centrist about EWC. It is immoral and should be opposed.

2018-08-16 10:45:15 UTC  

any news on zapiro?

2018-08-16 10:46:03 UTC  

@crazyBoer What about Zapiro?

2018-08-16 10:46:24 UTC  

the arm thing

2018-08-16 10:47:08 UTC  

@Tom_Servo I think there are many on the center, but again, "personalities or parties represent the center in SA or global politics" I am not sure, as all I know are still leaning one way or another. How do we define center? Could also be someone that Agrees with BEE but also agrees with Trump? it a weird pendulum and difficult to define

2018-08-16 10:48:01 UTC  

I'm not sure what you're asking, @crazyBoer . He declined my invitation and I said I'd draw a cartoon about it. I've not done it yet, if that's what you're asking. I've been very busy with the farm list stuff.

2018-08-16 10:48:14 UTC  

oh ok.

2018-08-16 10:48:21 UTC  

@Jerm Centarist does not mean 50/50. It's weird that you think that

2018-08-16 10:48:40 UTC  

Would you mind defining centrist?

2018-08-16 10:49:33 UTC  

I'm simply using the idea of centrist of being "in the middle". If I'm wrong, then I'm happy to use a different definition.

2018-08-16 10:50:05 UTC  

Well imm gonna play some old nes games.

2018-08-16 10:50:09 UTC  

I think being in the middle is a fair description... I think another would be compromising

2018-08-16 10:50:45 UTC  

it seems as though the far left and far right seem to agree on everything... regardless of how unrelated those issues might be

2018-08-16 10:51:12 UTC  

That's why I don't worry about left-right labels.

2018-08-16 10:52:14 UTC  

I support rhino horn trade. I support lifting of all prohibitions on drugs. Does that make me left or right? I don't care.

2018-08-16 10:52:18 UTC  

Its not about the label as it is about the representation

2018-08-16 10:52:53 UTC  

maybe I see the center as the grey area

2018-08-16 10:53:09 UTC  

where a lot of issues can often fall

2018-08-16 10:53:32 UTC  

Just ground your worldview on a set of values and principles. Everything falls into place after that. It's far more honest too.

2018-08-16 10:53:42 UTC  

but because outrage generates more activity, truly exploring the grey area is not rewarded

2018-08-16 10:53:46 UTC  

For me there are things on the left that I support as well as the right. That is why I hate the scale, maybe one way to define it is to have a set of values for the center? But again, it is one of those things that no one can ultimately stand for every center value... I agree that it is a grey area.

2018-08-16 10:54:58 UTC  

For me, most things are really that simple. Humans have a tendency to make stuff more complicated for no good reason.

2018-08-16 10:56:13 UTC  

Does me schnarfing a line of coke affect your life? No? Then come and persuade me not to do so. But don't use the state to come into my home at the expense of everybody else.

2018-08-16 10:56:37 UTC  

I would agree that we overcomplicate some issues, but most are geniunely complicated (if we are doing a truthful examination of the issue)

2018-08-16 10:56:53 UTC  

lets use the Alex Jones issue as an example

2018-08-16 10:57:00 UTC  

I am all for free market

2018-08-16 10:57:58 UTC  

but when companies have grown to the scale of FB, Twitter etc.... then they end up having unfettered power that can no longer really be regulated by the free market

2018-08-16 10:58:21 UTC  

Dont get me wrong Alex Jones is a warped douchebag

2018-08-16 10:58:46 UTC  

but should private companies have that kind of power...

2018-08-16 11:00:20 UTC  

@Tom_Servo I agree, and it is still tricky to me. We want private companies to have their own voice, but we don't want them to have the only voice.

2018-08-16 11:00:37 UTC  

same thing happened to the Guptas here

2018-08-16 11:00:46 UTC  

how did all the banks find the same thing at the same time

2018-08-16 11:00:57 UTC  

or colluding with each other which restricts free market
