Sincere Ignorance and Conscientious Stupidity. ...

a trap that perfectly good people fall deep into.

1. The Rhodesians were blind to the fact that because the World, after two World Wars and the Holocaust, had signed of on the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, (UDHR) the days of racial minority rule and/or colonial rule were over .. and therefore there was NO chance of the racist Smith government ever attaining legitimacy.

2. Zimbabweans voted for ZANU-PF instead of Bishop Tendekayi Muzorewa and his UANC Party and kept Mugabe & Co in power, imagining that violence was strength and that pacifism was weakness.

3. Our brethren in South Africa keep proving that Einstein's statement that doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result is the very definition of insanity.

In each of these examples we see the phenomenon of human beings, even though a species known as homo sapiens and possessed of the gift of reason, acting with ignorance and stupidity.

Why??

The answer is actually quite simple ... and, as an example, is proved by what has happened to the the USA that has the most advanced humans on the planet.

You see, even though D J Trump is a prize buffoon, he bellowed, grunted and snorted a gospel of DOMINANCE ... Native Nationalist White Supremacist dominance.

The need for dominance is encoded in our DNA from the time we were in the cave crapping ourselves about everything and anything out there.

The promise of dominance is terribly, terribly, terribly, terribly addictive ... because it is is linked to our instinct of survival.

It is easy to see that the need for dominance drove what happened in Rhodesia and Zimbabwe.

Understand that its is exactly the same need that drives the sincere ignorance and conscientious stupidity in South Africa ...

where all the previously independent tribes have mustered under the imported racist "Black" label/brand in a bid for Dominance over all others.

ANC leaders are VERY adept at fueling this ignorance and stupidity by propagating and instilling a culture of victimhood in our people.

Note that Trump did the same thing with his claims that America was being invaded by criminals and being cheated and laughed at ... etc. ... etc. ...

Racial Affirmative Action, BEE and Cadre Deployment are collectively an EXACT mirror image of the evil Apartheid model of managing human beings.

NOTE:-

that this ignorance and stupidity is so deeply embedded that even our Human Rights Commission is completely oblivious to the fact that our reform model is a repudiation of the UDHR.

Note Also:=

that a typical response to these simple truths is arrogant dismissiveness. ......................................................................................... In the image below South Africa has Model "A" instead of Model "B".

South Africa - ANOMIE ... an embedded culture of Deviance !!!

I make no apology for bringing this up for perhaps the 20th time over the last 20 years.

Simply put, I have repeatedly contended, as confirmed by an on line top Criminologist, that South Africa suffers from a wall-to-wall culture of deviance across the board, vertically and horizontally ... across all race/ethnic groups ...

and that if this was not comprehensively addressed ...
it would fail ...
would fail to achieve its potential ...
and slide to failed State status.

Now we are all witnessing live ... this culture playing out as a vomitus, nightmarish pageant, day and night ...
unchecked in a diabolical mood of egregious impunity. ..
as vandalism, looting and even homicide abound ...
to the tune of Rand billion prejudice.

The people doing this are not criminals. They are ordinary human beings like you and I.
They are doing this driven by a culture of deviance internalized over a period going back to the very corrupt apartheid era.

I make the comparison that I too started life as disadvantaged as most South Africans ... see ((https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10206853396567859&set=a.1733027379902&type=3&theater))
but the thing is that my Ndebele Gogo would have sjamboked me if I had stolen one slice of bread.

Notable ... VERY Notable, is that ANC leadership, that has been governing, has done NOTHING about this !!! NOTHING WHATSOVER !!!

There can be only two possible reasons for this -
a) gross incompetence; and/or
b) a leadership that is pathologically anomic itself.

My prediction is that the Zondo Commission Report will confirm BOTH !!!

If this culture is not addressed ... competently addressed with the help of experts ...
South Africa is DOOMED !!!!

Right now ENCA has a headline question - "Does South Africa have a leadership crisis?"
Answer:- It has had one from the time of Thabo Mbeki !!!!!!
