Ramaphosaed

~ Clarissa

Wow, people, did you see the Oval Office showdown between Trump and that racist South African dude?

I feel enormously better already.

Why did the African guy even come? Did he think he was going to get praised for his behavior?

  2. If nothing else, I will cherish this term’s WH pressers forever. Previously, I thought the most entertaining official press conferences ever were his first term’s hostile exchanges between Sarah Sanders and the press. Those were hilarious. Trump himself holding court from the WH is even better 😀

    1. When he said “let’s turn on the TV”, that was priceless.

      I’m actually curious how the MSM are trying to spin it. I’m sure they are trying to but my imagination fails me as to what it might be that they can say about this.

  4. Now c’mon, sure, the ANC Communists have turned a first world nation into a third world shithole; half the citizens are unemployed, the electricity and the water systems ares collapsing is, and okay the only functional security/policing systems are private. But Comrade Ramaphosa is way, way more trustworthy than Comrade Malema; well, okay, maybe a few thousand Boer farmers, wives, and children have been butchered, but the Kulaks really have nothing to worry about ;-D

    1. The neo-liberal mind is incapable of processing art for art’s sake or beauty.

      If everything is turned into a grievance, there is no room for quiet enjoyment.

      In any case, in the neo-liberal mind everything can easily be turned into grift, with or without monetary benefit – as in the case Cliff highlighted above.

      Can you imagine the self-satisfied smug on the face of that witless bureaucratic nobody with a fourth-rate mind from the Equal Opportunities Office? This is how they win. And then they come and tell you that THEY are on the right side of history.

    2. A philosopher – and I’m blanking on the name right now – said that neoliberal subjectivity suffers “from an excess of self.” Huge, over-inflated, pulsating egos that squeeze everything out. That’s why neoliberals love the expression “to take up space.” They want to expand like huge globes of want. They are entitled to everything, want to consume everything and everybody.

  7. Bayou Renaissance Man (who is from South Africa) has a collage of all the MSM headlines:

    I know one shouldn’t be surprised by the shamelessness of MSM anymore. But, you know… they deserve their irrelevancy. I don’t understand why they are still in business: nobody would actually pay for that, would they? Where is their funding coming from, now that USAID has been axed? Just drug companies? Or is there some other clandestine financial support that needs to be audited out of existence?

    1. I mean, these are all supposedly independent organizations that are all distributing the same propaganda, at the time, in the same words, and lack even the initiative to “put it in your own words” as our grade school English teachers harped on for years. They’re clearly all the same organization. Who’s funding it? And how do we turn off the spigot?

      1. For their readers, these slogans stand in lieu of prayer. They never get bored because the purpose isn’t to understand reality but to ward off malignant spirits. It never works because the spirits are inside them.

    2. This is very much on point for our discussion of the plans to fund left-wing influencers. People go to right-wing bloggers in search of interesting, original takes. People want to feed their brains, hear original, new approaches. Nobody is going to seek out a repetitive, ultra-conformist view. There’s no amount of money that will make anybody who isn’t already in the captive audience purposefully look for the party line. We already know the party line. It’s being transmitted from every device and every pulpit of the Cathedral. A fanatical observance of speech codes makes for intensely boring output.

    1. That’s what happened in the USSR where all good farmers were murdered and the land was put into collective farms for the perennially incapable to till. Then the famines started.

      But why should we learn from history when all the same mistakes can be repeated in perpetuity? Didn’t Bernie Sanders say that Africans breed too much? That’s a great way to reduce population sizes.

      1. It’s no joke. We are doing the same thing in the US, but at a slower pace: we don’t murder farmers, we are just making it impossible for the next generation to replace them, and the average age keeps going up.

        Successful farming isn’t a plug-and-play process, like legos. Even the big industrial ops depend on a certain amount of local expertise and experience. Every region, every farm, every field, and every crop is different. Somebody who’s lived and farmed in the same place for 30 years has a huge advantage over somebody who just started out. that expertise takes a long time to recapture, once you let it expire.

        1. Heck its the same way with home/victory gardens as well. The best advice I ever got about gardening from my GP was, you never do it all at once. As unless you are quite literally growing food to survive, you will burn out fast and loose all desire to garden.

          So you start with one maybe two sections the first season, and every year, work on them, and expand by maybe one more section. (This of course is using hand-tools. Machines make it a lot easier and you can do more.)

          But yes, experience is king when it comes to growing things. You’re first garden will be nowhere near and good or efficient as your 5th, 10th, 15th, 30th, etc. And that is not even considering animals either.

            Yes, it usually takes many years to learn the “how to” and “why” to garden successfully ;-D

              1. Actually my wife was the gardener, I was more “lift that bale an’ tote that load” helper. Her grandfather raised gladiolas and melons commercially when he wasn’t working for the CPR. It may have skipped a generation, but she didn’t fall far from the tree ;-D

  9. Who’s funding it?

    Established mainstream media are part of a system. They receive money from multiple sources: subscriptions, advertising and state contributions, at least in Europe: public monies are regularly disbursed by parliaments and governments or quasi-governmental bodies for the purpose of “encouraging diverse opinion”.

    Take for example The Guardian, which is the UK’s prime left-wing mouthpiece. It says that it is primarily funded by its readership through subscriptions and donations, but I rather doubt this. In fact, the Guardian Media Group, which owns the newspaper is owned by a private limited company with Share Capital, the Scott Trust Limited, whose primary goal is to ensure the long-term financial and editorial independence of the newspaper itself.

    However, the Guardian also receives grants from organizations like the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and the Open Society Foundations. So, although the newspaper is not owned by a single owner or billionaire investor, it is still part and parcel of the whole capitalist system which many of its readership would like to see abolished.

    The grift behind the MSM system is immense and it would take the talent of investigative journalists and analysts like Christopher Rufo to unveil the rot behind it.

    And how do we turn off the spigot?

    You can’t. The interests behind it are so interconnected with the whole system of power, one can only bless the Internet for enabling wise and savvy people to reach other sources of information.

    1. It’s the previous form of capitalism they want to abolish, the one that create a large middle class. They want to establish the neoliberal capitalism where a small group of oligarchs rules over a multitude of dispossessed, constantly angry lumpenproletarians.

  10. It sounds like you’re satisfied with cheap spectacle. Just like you orgasmed about Canada supposedly implementing measures to stop the abundant flow of fentanyl over our Northern border at the very beginning of Trump’s current term.
