That's a helluva story. Stand up for what's right, never take things at face value, and be kind to the less fortunate, even if you only have a greeting and smile to offer.

Well, that was quick and easy (but still more than the '1-minute read', as Substack classifies it. An excellent post, actually: I knew nothing about it and thought little of migrants in South Africa. This makes sense. (But I'm still not going to find time to waste on the BBC clip, although I'm sure it wouldn't be a waste of time, or else you wouldn't have selected it.)

I specialise in non-one-minute posts so I'm ecstatic when a one-minute person visits. It's like me being critical of the BBC yet occasionally finding value in those bastards. McDdd, may Scotland continue to chill your hot heart!

My pleasure mate, though I consider you to be a realist willing to speak truth to the powers that be, & that is not being cynical IMO. I imagine you aren't too popular with them, to put it mildly...

I was surprised by the BBC Doc, not for it's subject matter, as I've watched SA collapse for 30+years, rather that it was actually produced by BBC, aka British 🐂💩 Corp.

Yep, I have a lot of haters in one political party.

I wear two hats for the BBC, one skeptical with the news, the other in admiration of a lot of their doccies.

👍State tv always has a hidden agenda. It's bought & paid for by the govt, of course. I limit my BBC viewing to some older nature docs & researching Britiain's dark past present & future. I'm grateful for watching the video you posted as it reminded me it's not all shite from BBC, albeit decades late in coming. Same xenophobia shite, different victims of hate, but better revealed late than never, perhaps.

CBC here in Kanada is equally woke & 99% worthless, if not moreso, IMO. Latest "Not See" scandal re 💤elensky/Ukr debacle in Parliament & NDP party leader Jagmeet Singh connections to terrorist Khalistani's have been buried as much as possible by all our Govt subsidized MSM outlets. As for myself, I burnt all my hats 33 years ago & still paying & fighting this today., albeit only with words as I come closer to the end of the road.

Hang in there mate. It's been interesting to follow your thoughts & see your global perspective grow, esp re the 1 sided western narrative & not so covert fascist agression in Ukraine/Russia. To qoute Pogo the old comic strip philosopher, "I have seen the enemy! & he is us..."

Humanity is certainly the enemy of itself. Us outliers are like the flu to the nose of stupidity.

The bible warned millenia ago, choose God to lead, not kings. Jesus revealed their agenda in the open yet we' ve never learned the lesson, as the same principalities & powers took overcontrol over his true church,

(the powerless believing body of poor & oppressed) as the head of the triad, money, military power, religious control & manipulation (institutionalized as the primary tool for keeping the sheep under their thumb). To " Not See" their true nature & agenda in this age of (dis) information is akin to cutting out our eyes, voluntarily.

I will always choose to be be an outlier; the only unacceptable alternative left is being an (inliar). Yeah, I made that word up, but if the true shite fits 💩🚽, I'll shovel it back at them till I finally head for home; some of it is bound to stick to the perpretrators. The best we plebes can do is make them wallow, in the light of Truth, in their own filthy pit of worldly riches & the consequences of their oppressive ruling in darkness...
