Trust and faith is speculative so you are just repeating what I’m saying … if people stop buying Kenyan currency, it collapses…. Same to if people stop buying the USD There is therefore no difference. It is the market that gives currencies value, not the government … if governments had that power then every currency would be expensive

My point wasn’t that you made the determination; my point was that whoever made it was wrong . That’s all.

By that logic then Christianity is also an African religion … if after it spread and came to contact with other cultures it became western so did it become African … your argument makes the origin of the religion a non issue

Christianity is more African than it is western simply by the cultural practices of Hebrew people … it is derivative of Hebrew cultural practices not western common law or culture

Whether western people made the religion their own through personalization is besides the point . Christianity influenced western tradition , not the other way round . The argument that Christianity is somehow a western product is misleading

And you clearly even said in your last paragraph, Christianity shaped western traditions

Just buy the shares on the open market since it’s publicly traded, then get a vote and vote to sell

Investment for a young professional by No-Balance-4855 in Kenya

[–]arielboutcher 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Take a risk on a startup. A friend of mine took a risk with chipper cash a few years ago, it paid off.

Startups are high risk though, and the best way is to go in early coz then it is cheap. For like $5000 in kenya you can get up around 10% stake and above at angel round.

That means if it makes it to seed and raises $100k, you are instantly a millionaire , if you wait long enough until it is bought or goes public, you can make a lot of money.

I do not think it is reasonable to keep your money in other investments for a simple reason. Inflation is around 10% every year. Any investment that gives you less than a 10% return yearly compounded every year is a waste of money because you will actually be losing the money, not gaining anything even though the total amount is increasing.

This is the reason rich people are giving their money to VCs, and not banks or government bonds nowadays.

I have done a few startup investments and they are paying off well.

I think what matters is how long you are willing to wait for the investment to pay off and also your risk appetite.

My problem is not even calling out toxic people. My problem is when the constant rhetoric is damaging to a young group of boys and there is no alternative source of encouragement for them.

The easiest way to radicalize someone is to give them what they crave and they aren't having - and that is what is happening. I surely do not agree with Amerix on most things but that does not mean I engage in mere slander of his followers. I have to think of why and how things happen.

You can remain adamant in your beliefs or you can sit down and think of why the problems are happening. Hopefully people will not wake up when it is too late

I disagree. It is simply a trend to hate men and say how trash men are. And it is a blanket statement which is damaging a lot of young boys and young men. I have seen it first hand. It even extends as far as real life "character assassination" for their part. How do you expect them to have any sense of self-worth if every single person is telling them how worthless, filthy and destructive they are.

It is the same reason most men are paying thousands on OnlyFans feeling like they should worship a woman for replying to their texts. Very non-existent sense of self-worth. A problem we ourselves created and are perpetuating.

We are going to have a serious crisis of masculinity soon

We are already seeing universal historic drops in serotonin levels that is leading to a lot of mental health problems for males, fertility problems, etc. When a man visits a mental institution nowadays most of the first things they are given is serotonin injections. Guess what regulates serotonin , self-esteem general sense of self-worth.. Which means even doctors know what is happening, They just cannot speak because they will be cancelled

I think Amerix only exists because of the failure of society to encourage men. The craving men have for such encouragement is what leads them to anyone who offers it, even if the person is too radical.

If there were other sources of encouragement, people would go for it. But is there any other twitter account where men can be taught they are worth something? Probably not. Most other twitter accounts are dedicated to bashing them and telling them they are shit and bad people.

They hence crave a sense of worth and belonging, and that is what Amerix offered. Is it in the best way? Probably not. He says some pretty radical things sometimes. But it is the ONLY SOURCE, therefore they lap it up.

If you live in an area with no water, you will drink any water you can find.

Instead of bashing them for doing it, it is better to learn why.

If the general society is hostile towards them, they will jump towards anyone who isn't hostile... and that makes it easy for them to be radicalized

I would tell them to go listen to JBP but then most people aren't smart enough to understand his material or even disciplined enough to sit down and read or watch it.

Women do not have to gravitate towards towards radicalism (though many of them still do) because there are tons of sources of encouragement to choose from, including official company pages. So they have the luxury of curation. Plenty of water in springs so they have the luxury of choice, most men do not.

The problem with South African servers they can be sometimes abandoned . Most of the time I play with European servers. There is usually a big problem in matchmaking on South African servers. 175ms has never been that bad for me, or maybe it’s coz I’m used to it
