It speaks to community, family bonds, working together for the betterment of the whole. If I wasn’t South African, I would want to be Welsh. ❤️

I can’t watch it, Huw! It breaks my heart to see you so despondent. Plus, I love the Welsh. As a society, there are so many overlaps with South Africa. The least of those overlaps is seeing Welsh grandparents picking up kids from school, which is a rare sight in England.

And just generally a horrible character to boot, which is why I still find this realisation weird, because she has been on my radar for at least five years.

Believe whatever you like. In my experience, “people” means your three mates, not the 40 million people who actually make up the electorate.

The problem for the Greens is that no one is going to vote for them when there is something to lose. After all, we don’t vote for the party we prefer under FPTP, we vote against the party we fear. Greens will do well if and only if Reform aren’t threatening to form a govt.

I came to the UK in 2001 and worked in pubs and bars for a number of years. Everyday I would meet someone who, when hearing I was South African, would assume I was an ally and would say some very shocking things. Worse than I would hear in SA.

It doesn’t matter what time the games are being shown. Anyone who opposes what is going on in the US shouldn’t be watching the WC in the first place.

Moral arguments are largely useless, specially in this day. The argument for doing more good things is that poor people spend surplus money in the economy, whereas the rich invest surplus in tax havens.

I imagine so, specially during the 90’s (when I first became a Bowie fan). Afrikaners love techno, and 90’s Popular culture was populated with Ace of Base and 2 Unlimited. Oh, and Neil Diamond for some or other bizarre reason.

To be fair, I’m South African, and Bowie is definitely more popular here than in SA. Same with Queen. I was quite unusual growing up in that respect.

You’re the first person I’ve ever come across who knows “The Laughing Gnome”! Clearly a true fan!

I won’t even be watching it. Just hope things have changed by 2031, else I won’t be watching the Rugby World Cup either.

… unlike Europe, who relies on the global trading arrangements held in place by US hegemony. With BRICS countries fracturing off US controlled trade and trading in their own currencies, Europe is at a serious disadvantage as compared to Russia. 2/2

I really don’t know. The Ukraine war has been one of the most influential conflicts since the Cold War, because it has broken Pax Americana. Russia is instantly better off in a world without US hegemony, because Russia controls real resources, …

I’m amazed that anyone is fooled by them. I get full-on uncanny valley feelings when I see AI videos. Makes me cringe so hard I’m amazed that I haven’t broken my neck yet.
