Well if you're all for white minority rule in SouthAfrica, then i don't think you'resomeone i would want to interact with. So not sure if you're trolling or not. But in case you're not:

It's a move in the right direction to break the stagnation of the ruling party at the moment. If it takes coalitions to do that then so be it.

Like i said in my reply to someone else, the ANC were literally the saving grace of the majority of the country after Apartheid. Their constitution and the country's constitution is so ideal. We would have sung the ANCs praises from then until now if only they jad kept their promises that they made post Apartheid. And there was a will and the money to do so, but unfortunately corruption got in the way. Of course it was also the IMF that imposed their usual ridiculous conditions on the country. But there's no doubt that corruption was the final nail in the coffin, so to speak.

Ok, i understand now, i didn't understand your reference before.

That is a very real worry, but i believe it's still a step in the right direction.

It's by no means perfect in any way, but we have to move away from the stagnancy of the ruling party at the moment. It's a hell of a pity to see what they've become, they started off as literally the saving grace of the majority of the country. Their party constitution is actually the most idealistic. But corruption has completely destroyed all the good intentions of the founders of the ANC constitution and the country's constitution.

Yep, this is a step in the right direction for South African politics. I think coalitions will start becoming a norm in the near future of the country.

I sometimes feel like the DA would damn us all for the sake of a little publicity

As someone from the global south, thank you. You perfectly put into words exactly how a very many people around me are feeling.

This us vs you mentality is really rubbing a lot of people the wrong way, and telling us that our neutrality means that we're supporting the global west/ north's enemy is frankly insulting, considering what the global west/ north has done in the past and is still doing now.

Im not sure. But worldnews@lemmy.world removed all comments on a post about Israeli transgressions in Palestine, and then they locked the post.

There were some inflammatory comments but the majority were pretty normal and neutral statements based on fact. But the mods removed all comments.

So I would steer clear of them.

Edit: maybe not steer clear, just be aware of what is happening there.

Thanks for the post. I'm a novice at pirating too and i think i was a bit lost too. This post and the megathread helps a lot.

The most sophisticated thing i did previously was to get mullvad as a vpn
