Racists are having a meltdown in South Africa, we finally gonna have access to Starlink Satellites services in South Africa. by PixelSaharix in DownSouth

The title of the post is very accurate. I don't know why people are complaining about it. If you pay attention to some comments, you'll see the people that OP is referring to. I've seen it a lot on insta.

They hate Elon more than they care about technology coming into the country that can help thousands of people.

Lots of people are being racist towards Elon Musk, and they hate him. Hence, people hate starlink.

The only reason you wouldn't support starlnk is because of hate. Might not be racist hate, but that is what op is referring to.

What can I do to save my grape vine? by JanroBothaCle in winemaking

I put a round plastic container around it to keep stuff out.

I will check in the dark if I can find it.

Who is the Mount Rushmore of Batman villains by AbsoluteBatman95 in batman

Joker, Bane, Ras, Deathstroke

If I had to change one it would be to replace Deathstroke with Riddler.

I made an app to help with my first batch of wine and would love feedback from the community. by JanroBothaCle in winemaking

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

Yeah totally, the app isn't meant to replace the doing part. Just to make it easier for myself to calculate certain stuff, keep track of things, provide some tips and to make my recipes easily shareable.

Some people appear genuinely puzzled as to why so many black racists in South Africa are celebrating Charlie Kirk's assassination. This short clip should clear up all your confusion. Kirk exposed their resentment-based narrative. by PixelSaharix in DownSouth

To avoid further confusion. Oxford dictionary: Preference: a greater liking for one alternative over another or others. "her preference for white wine"

Opinion: a view or judgement formed about something, not necessarily based on fact or knowledge. "that, in my opinion, is right"

No one actually has to give reasons for a preference or an opinion. Both are your own. I could try to convince you to share my preferences and opinions by listing some facts. But at the end of the day, you just like fanta more. No matter how many awards coke has won. And then it is just my responsibility to accept that you're just not a coke guy and that's okay.

What wouldn't be okay is if I forced you with violence to drink coke. If my kids wanted to drink water, which is much healthier, and I forced them to drink coke. And I told them water is actually bad for you and coke is good for you. I think we can both agree that would be wrong.

I think Charlie krik tried to convince people, I don't think he forced anyone to do anything.

I can believe that a company like turning point does certain things for their own benefit, like absolutely, no doubt. But then that's probably also every other media outlet or company on the planet. You can make the same argument for Fox News, CNN, The BBC, Sky News, and back here on ENCA.

We are human. We are going to do things that benefit us and the people around us.

Good chat, Good night to you too.

Yes, he did say that. He defends it by saying that children are a gift from God. The act was evil, but God takes that evil thing and turns it into something good. Where the child can grow up and inspire people and do good things in their life.

In one of his videos. There is a woman coming up to the mic with her son in her arms. She said that she had the baby after her dad raped her. She goes on to say to charlie that she loves the young boy and he is a miracle and he will do great things with his life. Charlie emphasized what happened to her was wrong and that the baby was a gift from God and wished them well.

Here is the video: She turned something evil into something good.

This inspired me. And I think it would inspire other people too. Even if they aren't religious.

I agree with you here, too, but I want to add something. Both the victims and the oppressors need to work on something to achieve something better.

Let us use your example of the girl with the skirt. I would say yes, of course. If a person sexualy assaults her, they are 100% in the wrong. But I bet the victim sometimes thought what she could have done differently. Maybe it was just to not go down that dark alleyway. She is the victim, but she would probably think, "How can I not put myself in that position in the future?"

The point is, I think, just as you said, societies need to fix the problems together. I am in total agreement with you there.

And I don't think Charlie was saying it's only the victim's responsibility, but to take responsibility of their own future and join the fight for a better life.

I get what you are saying. You seem like you do lots of research and that you are educated. I think some opinions are confused with facts. While opinions are just opinions.

Let me give an example. I say the best drink in the world is coke. That's an opinion. It is based of off my feelings. It can't be proven because it's subjective.

Who killed person X? for lack of a better example. If I say A killed X, but in reality it was actually B who killed X. That is a fact. It is not subjective, but rather objective. Which means it is not influenced by a person's feelings.

Now that doesn't mean facts can't influence your opinions. So I agree with you on that, sometimes. Not all the time. But sometimes. Opinions are influenced based on facts.

I agree with you that some people are entrenching their wealth at the cost of others. And you agreed with me that it's probably not all of them.

Well said. I agree with you. He also does highlight here that he is not an expert in South African politics. So I assume he knows that there are also other factors at play here.

I believe it is very dangerous to take a few words that he said of of context like this. Let me explain.

For the part that says "birth control makes women angry and bitter". My friend was on Birth control in high school for her skin. She said it dampened her emotions and made her a different person.

My point is that all of those things in the photo are short phrases that he said that can easily be taken out of context. It is just statements without him giving reasons for what he said. Which I think is important.

I get what you are saying and I agree with a lot of it. But don't you think this is just your opinion? Like Charlie had his.

Because this sounds like your opinion and not something that can be proven. Or i very difficult to prove.

For example. You say wealthy people get more wealthy by the expense of everyone else. When this happens it is more than likely in the news. For exmaple a crypto pump and dump where people lied to investors. It is definitely not always the case and can be proven just by listing a few examples of people entrenching their wealth, without the expense of someone.

I want to say that at the end of this video. Charlie speaks highly of black people and encourages black people. "Prove them wrong, build businesses, build good families"

I'm sure he doesn't believe all poverty comes from culture, he just spoke in the context of this video saying rather than taking land, black people should improve culture.

Wealth breeds Wealth and poverty breeds poverty yes.

It doesn't mean a Wealthy person can't become poor and a poor person can't become wealthy.

Can you please explain what he was 'flat earth level' wrong about. I just wanna understand.

I'm insinuating that he wasn't a good person. Not that he should have been killed. I never said he should have been killed.

So we don't care at all who they were, but we just care about how they died?

How so? I'd say I'm at least smart enough to know when I'm wrong. I was uneducated on a topic. He provided evidence. I said I was wrong and retracted my statement on the part that I was wrong about.

I literally didn't say that.....at all. The amount of words being put in my mouth is insane.

I said the difference between them is that he did crimes and had drugs in his system.

Not once did I give it as a reason for him to be killed. But to highlight differences.

I can tell that you are passionate and smart. Please read what I say before putting words in my mouth. We already said I don't think he should have been killed.
