My dad and I planting some sweet corn on the farm in Limpopo, South Africa. Our Dragonfruit project is also coming along nicely. I should've gotten into farming a long time ago.

Having grown up on US action movies from the 80's and 90's, I gotta say, she does have a point. Is the USA only good at violence when it comes to killing poor black and brown people in foreign countries? Where's that USA cowboy spirit now? All those guns and still crickets. 😢

Between these 3 US presidents, about 11 MILLION black & brown people got killed by US foreign policy, wars, invasions & political interference. The US has shown itself 2 b the world's greatest terrorist.
This is why the rest of the world is turning its back on the US. Trump is just the last straw.

Growing up is realising that the greatest threat to world security in the past 80 years is the USA and Israel. How old were you when you came to understand this dark, simple truth?

They need to do a "Revenge of the Nerds" reboot. I miss living in a world where knowledge, & ingenuity trumped brute force & cruel stupidity.
Nerds of the world, this is a call to arms. How do we, as a global collective, "Revenge of the Nerds" our way out of this dire dystopian reality we're in?

Chilling on the verandah in Limpopo, South Africa...
Whenever there's even just a little bit of rain, then there's a moth infestation. They're all gone by daytime.. Nature is incredible.

Around the world we have all started to feel the pain and anxiety of the US's embracing of fascism, nazism, bigotry and breathtaking ignorance. People of the world, now more than ever, we need to unite to start making racists shit their pants again.

To the world that is intent on succumbing to bullies, narcissists, liars, mass-murderers, racists and ethnic cleansers, rest assured that here in South Africa, we children of Mandela will NOT be bullied. We will speak up for the poor, the marginalised and the oppressed. This is who we are!

Imagine if a black South African left SA at age 17, moved to the USA and became the world's richest entrepreneur. Imagine the response if this guy inserted himself into the Obama administration, accessing government funds and firing staff on a whim in a similar way to how Elon Musk is behaving.
