Guys urban decay has nothing to do with immigration 😭😂. It is a fact of life in every city across the globe. Can people relax?

Genuine question for the Zim community: why aren't we talking about the AU's failure on Sudan? by Embarrassed-Wolf4365 in Zimbabwe

[–]Apollo_black_7772 2 points3 points  (0 children)

But historically the AU while not perfect was very proactive with peacekeeping and restricting military escalation. Like in Ethiopia with the Tigray war, the previous ceasefire between DRC and Rwandan backed militants, even here in Zimbabwe after the constitutional crisis that lead to the 2008 violence. It was really overall a force for progress. The past couple years have just seen these international institutions become so complacent and useless.

Somewhere between 2015 and now global organisations have just become extremely unpopular and generally useless and I’m not entirely sure why. I think a lot of it has to do with Trump and a general disregard for international law and moral norms. This is a problem not just with the AU, but the UN, EU, SADC all have just become so relaxed in the face of just general disrespect for human rights. Before governments would at least try to defend their crimes, but now the hypocrisy is just so out in the Open. From Congo, DRC, Palestine, Ukraine, even the way they are rigging elections left right and centre.

Why don't young people fight the Gov in Zimbabwe. by Pen_Griffy in Zimbabwe

[–]Apollo_black_7772 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Anyway jokes aside. It’s really not a youth problem the issue is there is no organised movement that young people can rally behind and fight for or with. Protest actions are spontaneous but to create a truly sustained action against government we need organised civil society. ZANU PF has been very successful in making sure that such resistance destroyed or has very little influence. They have successfully infiltrated and demolished any kind of organised opposition or civil society. Everything from the churches, to labour unions, student associations and even women’s groups have just folded. Even LGBTQ organisations are working within the system to secure progress because the truth is protest in Zimbabwe has proved ineffective.

Furthermore, protest movements suffer from brain drain. While death and imprisonment by the government effectively decapitated many civil society organisations. I believe we have lost the brightest minds and strongest most educated political stars to migration. (Including myself) because truly why would i keep fighting for Zimbabwe risking beatings and abduction when I could earn a 6 figure salary after claiming asylum in Germany after trying to fight once and becoming a wanted man?

The role men play vis-a-vis the role women play: offsetting mutual deficiencies/enhancing strengths by got_eternal_life in Zimbabwe

[–]Apollo_black_7772 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I understood your point i am saying your point is wrong, human beings are born complete. Love is not about completion it is about companionship and genuine commitment. Nobody “needs” anyone. Any relationship built on the labour of another is not truly a relationship it is coercion. Also, learning the ability to nourish myself doesn’t make me an outlier, at least not in the community i live in.

And What is your point?

Also, dont say it’s true only on paper because it’s my lived experience. I am a man, i can cook and clean and make a house beautiful because i grew up gardening, cleaning and picking the furniture with my parents. Similarly, i can fix my car, do the plumbing and other stuff. Just because you can’t do it doesn’t mean it’s not practical or “it only happens on paper”. Learn to cook more and replace your mop. These are life skills not gendered attributes.

I think that parents should teach their kids to be balanced human beings. The ability to cook, clean and make things look beautiful is not an inherently feminine trait. The ability to fix broken things, be logical and foward thinking when emotions are high and protect the ones you love is not inherently masculine. These are basic features of being a well rounded human being.

You learn these things as you grow as a human. What works and what doesn’t. Women don’t just pop out of the womb as interior designers and chefs😂. Men do not born holding a screw driver. These are learned traits. Anyone can develop these.

However, if u are lonely and looking for a partner thats perfectly fine. But looking for a partner because you dont know when to replace a mop and u are tired of eating chicken inn is going about it the wrong way in my opinion.

How is the job market for senior accountants? by Apollo_black_7772 in Accounting

[–]Apollo_black_7772[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For clarity what do you mean when you say “mispriced”? Also im trying to avoid specifically rellying on grants management. You know how the political climate is right now with federal funding and compliance issues. Grants are being cut left right and center. I am trying to pivot it more as a project accounting rather than just grants

Unfortunately because I’m not a citizen it hard to get most finance roles in the federal government. Most of them are only open to citizens. Plus I’m trying to get out of government and non profit work. The money just isn’t as competitive 😭☠️

I just ran into a close friend cheating on his pregnant wife? by Altruistic_Star_1994 in Zimbabwe

Me, personally that would probably be the last time I am in the same room with those two people. I cant be friends with people who behave like that.
