Er tydeligvis mange som er skikkelig sinna på SV og MdG fordi de faktisk ønsker å bruke politikken til å endre på ting.
Skulle jo helst bare lagt seg på rygg og blitt enige om at det beste for alle er at vi fortsetter som før og ikke burde ha ambisjoner om en bedre verden.

Let’s be clear: this is class warfare.
Tens of thousands of working-class Americans are going to die because of this “deal.”
Real people. Real deaths. For another tax break for the rich.
Those who voted for it — Republicans and Democrats — are on the side the 1%, fighting against the rest of us.

This deal to reopen the government is fucking disgraceful.
Tens of millions will lose their healthcare. Trump will be emboldened.
This is exactly what’s wrong with Democratic Party leadership and why we need more people in Congress who will actually hold the line.

YouGov too busy stirring the pot to check their own posts.
It's actually 10% of white Britons that don't feel well represented.
And 17% that don't feel *very* well represented.
Vs ethnic minorities with 22% and 29% in the same categories.
And yet YouGov is focusing on the white folks. Wonder why.

![Q. Why?
A. Until 1965, Africa was very civilized because each country was governed by a European country, and there was law and order. Look at Spain's example. Spain's history is the history of world colonization. Where Spain went, it brought order, civilization, cities... We did the same, but 500 years later. When the Europeans left, everything fell apart. Nothing remained. South Africa today is a lawless country, where even the police chief and Interpol director [Jackie Selebi] was sentenced to 15 years in prison for corruption. The African National Congress [ANC, which has governed South Africa since the end of apartheid] has looted the country. We are bankrupt. The US has cut all economic aid because South Africa supports Iran, Hamas, and all those terrorist groups. Zimbabwe, formerly Rhodesia [which also had its own apartheid], is as if it ceased to exist.
Q. Why did that happen?
A. All European countries have practiced racial discrimination. What happened is that South Africa maintained it when it achieved full independence in 1961. So apartheid is not something South Africa invented but something it continued. For example, the Netherlands did not allow people of color to enter its territory until 1920, despite having colonies in countries with people of color. South Africa maintained apartheid for an obvious reason: as soon as European countries left Africa, everything went to hell, civilization ended.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:yn75hmwkitdshnylue6d3grk/bafkreieezpkvcwpx7xi7gta4m335mmpmublgsbnutphytt3fx5bfsykbpy@jpeg)
![Q. How do we know that the Democratic Republic of Congo or Rwanda won't follow in China's footsteps, which 100 years ago was one of the poorest countries in the world, where people were literally dying of hunger and living in perpetual civil war?
A. It's impossible for Congo to ever become like China. China was printing paper money 2,000 years ago. They always achieved extraordinary feats. In April, I went to Stanford University [in California], and many of the students and professors I met there were Chinese. They are the nicest, most decent, civilized, and intelligent people you can imagine. As far as I'm concerned, all the Chinese - and all the Japanese - who want to go to London can go.
Q. Do your children share your views, or are there big arguments at family meals?
A. They share them.
Q. What about Elon?
A. Yes. My views are not based on any crazy ideology but on the experience of having traveled through Africa, where you have to be careful about what you eat and drink because if you make a mistake, you could be dead in two weeks... Think about Spain. It's an exquisitely beautiful country. If you bring people who don't appreciate that beauty, what can you expect other than them destroying it? They won't do it on purpose, but because they don't understand that beauty. I like people to move up in life, so I have a lot of black people working for me in minor roles. They are very useful, helpful, try to do things right, do as they are told, don't argue with you... but I would never live in their communities under their lifestyle.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:yn75hmwkitdshnylue6d3grk/bafkreig4o2sjtxgga2cpv2kxnoml7mpupkyvqrt3262plzoq5jfves7rum@jpeg)
