@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.
@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.
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
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
I used to think that centrist politics were noble and good, but I've since grown up.
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.
any news on zapiro?
@crazyBoer What about Zapiro?
the arm thing
@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
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.
oh ok.
@Jerm Centarist does not mean 50/50. It's weird that you think that
Would you mind defining centrist?
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.
Well imm gonna play some old nes games.
I think being in the middle is a fair description... I think another would be compromising
it seems as though the far left and far right seem to agree on everything... regardless of how unrelated those issues might be
That's why I don't worry about left-right labels.
I support rhino horn trade. I support lifting of all prohibitions on drugs. Does that make me left or right? I don't care.
Its not about the label as it is about the representation
maybe I see the center as the grey area
where a lot of issues can often fall
Just ground your worldview on a set of values and principles. Everything falls into place after that. It's far more honest too.
but because outrage generates more activity, truly exploring the grey area is not rewarded
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.
For me, most things are really that simple. Humans have a tendency to make stuff more complicated for no good reason.
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.
I would agree that we overcomplicate some issues, but most are geniunely complicated (if we are doing a truthful examination of the issue)
lets use the Alex Jones issue as an example
I am all for free market
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
Dont get me wrong Alex Jones is a warped douchebag
but should private companies have that kind of power...
@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.
same thing happened to the Guptas here
how did all the banks find the same thing at the same time
or colluding with each other which restricts free market
