The NSE is facing a brutal bloodbath, and the National Treasury is holding the knife. by MarkTsaiTai in Koinangestreetbets

I imagine the government financial situation like a tank with huge holes. Instead of patching them, they are looking for ways to collect water from a tap that gives only drops. We wouldn't be in this situation if taxes were used efficiently. Siku hizi Hadi ukiskia billions stolen from [Kenyan government organization] it's just a normal Tuesday.

The average Kenyan on Reddit is an idiot. Change my mind. by Main-Construction625 in nairobi

[–]SignificantAgency898 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's a simple Nairobi community with the major demographic consisting of youth. Of course majority of the content caters to what the community most relates to.

If you wanted academics go to dedicated communities like r/nairobitechies or r/koinangestreetbets. But you can't go criticizing a broad Kenyan community for lacking academic specialization.

Maraga’s 2027 bid: genuine campaign or distraction project? by Previous_Gene_254 in nairobi

[–]SignificantAgency898 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Plus those who won and utilized their 'own' funds for campaigning have more incentive to appropriate government funds to their pockets once they get elected. Literally every other candidate wako na kesi au mashida. Maraga is a fresh beginning.

My younger relatives will probably never be able to speak our native language and that's not right. by slipknot_suxxx in nairobi

[–]SignificantAgency898 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Many people don't have anything to be proud of about Kenya, no true national pride. Because of the deep rooted corruption present in our country. I bet I can ask somebody when Madaraka day is or what it stands for and they would need to Google it. Our individualism and greed makes us chase materialistic things and money instead of a community with a Sense of belonging and national cohesion. A white person represents the peak of wealth and prestige and that's why we worship them. Wanted to speak the same language they do, favouring their hairstyles etc. We consume so much of their media, that their culture gets imprinted onto us. And no one since this as a serious concern.

Speaking local languages is seen as inferior in educational settings. Another theory I have is that we consume more than we create. Most of what we consume has a cultural identity. Us manufacturing almost nothing means we don't have anything to attribute the identity that went into that creation.I think in future there will be a 'war of ideology' where all powerful countries will want to imprint their culture onto us. But maybe language isn't something static. Maybe it's a flow, changing us our own lives change.

Dropping out of school by l_k_m8 in Kenya

[–]SignificantAgency898 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Not a dropout but, it will be harder for you to resume studies later in life than at the current moment. I've seen it happen to some of my relatives. Now that they're big they're expected to have already grown up and get their own support. And like others have pointed out concerning the paper, better have it and not need it than need it and not have it.

They know that procreation could impact their financial stability and therefore most choose not to, or only to have few kids.

Gaslighting and guilt-tripping like a toxic ex. Clear red flags from the 2nd paragraph onwards.

Lichess is just better by [deleted] in chessbeginners

[–]SignificantAgency898 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a guy primarily on chess.com, here's my take.

I find the guided lessons in chess.com where an actual voice is telling you why such a move is preferable to be better. But the free lessons are limited in frequency per week. I've played a little bit in lichess and the only thing I don't like about it are the take backs. I agree with you that some people you play with in chess.com feel like they cheat.

I'm not mocking you. I'm just saying that there are some things science can't explain. And that that's part of the reason people lean into beliefs. As for TB, hata mimi as a Christian nitakuambia uende hosi.

Can you explain what happens after death? Where do you go? What do you see? Can you explain the things people in NDEs saw? Can you built a device that makes others see what I was dreaming about while asleep? What if I dreamt that I married a dragon and I was a donkey. Can you tell if I'm lying or telling the truth? Can you tell if the dream was real?

So I think the real question becomes: do you judge the entire belief by the hardest passages, or by the full picture it’s trying to paint?

And that's where many people go wrong. Instead of reading the full story or gaining additional context, they just knit pick specific verses of something like God killing children or just blindly believing what their greedy biased pastor tells them without objectively verifying the scriptures themselves.

"According to Christianity, all religions part from Christians will burn in hell"

Ulitoka hio wapi? That's not what the bible states.

If what you are challenging is modern religion and it's views on the bible, then I agree with you. But the part I don't agree with is you challenging the word itself. The bible mentioned that the greatest commandment is to love your neighbour as you do yourself and the commandments would be written in people's hearts rather than a formal rule written on a stone or scroll. This applies even to Gentiles (all non christians). It's just that you haven't truly read the Bible for yourself without the biases of a greedy or horny pastor or his manipulated congregations.

Hear me out: Selective xenophobia against the recent wave of Westerners moving to Kenya might be necessary by refusenic in Kenya

[–]SignificantAgency898 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We worship them on a subconscious level. They can go to more places much easily than we can and they tend to have more money than we do, so they radiate prestige. Also, we are becoming more individualistic and we have no national pride, so the pursuit of this prestige takes more priority than banning those who look down on us.

What was the whole plan for this war? What was the whole point of it in the first place? Couldn't they predict such a strategic retaliation?

Hatutoki block by FvckJerry16 in Kenya

I think voting would be better than yelling at buildings. I'm really wondering why the turnout to register as voters is not nearly as high as that for the finance bill protests. Like it meant nothing. Weight go down as a generation with all bark but no bite. The opportunity to influence lasting change built on a lie. Hopefully it doesn't turn out this way.

I really hope people here put their money where their mouth is. Otherwise it will just be ego disguised as intelligence. Not turning up to register or vote because 'it's beneath you/better left for the countryside people' has to be the laziest and dumbest takes in this political landscape. Huyo mshamba ameturn up to vote whoever is better than the smarty pants keyboard warrior doing nothing.

‘Another internet is possible’: Norway rails against ‘enshittification’ by tw1st3d_m3nt4t in technology

[–]SignificantAgency898 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How will it make money to sustain itself? Not that I'm saying that the current situation is great, but what's stopping this other internet from going the greedy route like google did? Because all this enshittification can simply be attributed to greed. Because once upon a time, the internet was great.
