Fact: Apartheid was a crime against humanity. Also a fact: the Apartheid state machinery was incredibly capable. BOTH OF THOSE THINGS CAN BE TRUE AT ONCE. Don’t be so keen to be offended that you miss blatant truths.

this obsession with how much money you think I have and who pays for various things in my life is really getting weird at this point but anything to deflect from the fact that the leader of your party does not have a basic understanding of political ideologies

Unfortunately, not everyone can get their studies sponsored by their daddy or a rich family member. You would know this if you didn't have such a privileged life. Most of us have to work for a living. We can't sit around waiting for mommy or daddy to flick out the credit card.

honestly I think you have to be delusional to live in SA and think that 99% of men are not rapists and abusers there were 9500 rapes between july and september between 28% - 30% of men have admitted to rape 1 in 5 partnered women have experienced physical violence by a partner

how close to a circle is the venn diagram of people who state that landlords should be able to discriminate against prospective tenants because “they should have the freedom to choose” and people who think that it is “unfair” that nandos is dropping their sponsorship of GC

we should not have to coerce men into supporting basic human fucking rights by praising them for doing nothing and if you are the type of man who requires praise first before standing up for human rights then yes you are trash

this is how you know the people who complain about BEE have no idea what they are talking about because every single one of these points was already in the employment equity act. nothing has been changed at all.

Guys, you really need to read this settlement. It's unbelievable - @solidariteit really just completely erased the employment equity framework in effect.

ugh feeling super rough right now. it feels like nothing I do is good enough and what I do actually do is pointless. and ngl the hate comments and criticisms are starting to get to me a bit . it sucks because the positive stuff is out there but the negative is drowning it out rn
