The World Didn’t Sign Up To Be America’s Captive Audience (But Here We Are)

Sometimes I look at my social media feed and wonder when exactly I became an unpaid U.S. political analyst, commentator or whatever. I live thousands of kilometers away, my taxes don’t go there, I don’t vote there, and yet every day I’m force-fed a steady diet of American political drama like it’s my emotional multivitamin. I open TikTok: screaming match between a congressman and a … Continue reading The World Didn’t Sign Up To Be America’s Captive Audience (But Here We Are)

America’s Love Affair With “The End Of The World”

Some days I think the United States doesn’t actually want to fix anything. I think the country is addicted to decline the same way some people are addicted to astrology. I think that’s bcause it’s easier to believe Mercury is in retrograde than to admit you forgot to pay your bills. Everyone is screaming about apocalypse like it’s a sport. Right-wing apocalypse, left-wing apocalypse, climate … Continue reading America’s Love Affair With “The End Of The World”

Engineer Jacob Kudzayi Mutisi is Wrong About Debt Free “Wealth”

Engineer Jacob Kudzayi Mutisi recently wrote a piece on Byo 24 that has been shared widely by the news pirates on WhatsApp. He argued that Zimbabweans are wealthier than Americans because they buy cars and build houses without debt. No mortgages. No student loans. No credit cards. The picture painted was one of a people living debt-free, while the West is drowning in obligations. It … Continue reading Engineer Jacob Kudzayi Mutisi is Wrong About Debt Free “Wealth”

Tendai Ruben Mbofana is Confusing a Mirror For a Weapon

Views Every few years, whenever crime rates rise, someone will dust off a moral panic that blames the latest boogeyman for our social decay. In the 1980s, it was “Satanic” heavy metal. In the 1990s, it was kung fu movies. In the 2000s, it was video games. Now, apparently, my dear mentor Tendai wants us to believe that violent entertainment is breeding a violent Zimbabwe. … Continue reading Tendai Ruben Mbofana is Confusing a Mirror For a Weapon

America Does Not Have Democracy!!

The majority of Americans have given up on being citizens. They’ve sunk into the passivity of Spectators and Consumers. What they have is a lot like… America Does Not Have Democracy!! Continue reading America Does Not Have Democracy!!

Child Bearing

Bearing a child affects a woman more deeply than it can any man. No woman thinks, like, “I guess I’ll go out today and get a pedicure then stop off at the clinic for an abortion”. It’s a soul-bruising choice. From the depths of my conscience, I say: what about the rights of the born? The ones already occupying the planet, the ones living and … Continue reading Child Bearing

War experts

I guess we are all experts on war. I’ve heard all I want to hear from armchair commanders, whether they are congressmen or the guy who flips burgers down at the diner. I’m only listening to Veterans at this point. They have plenty to say. Some are those against the war, and some are for it. A lot of soldiers believed that joining the Guard, … Continue reading War experts

A lost cause

Could we just brush up on history, please? Remember that the Soviet Union spent ten years trying to crush an Islamic insurgence in Afghanistan? That really ended well for them, didn’t it? So, their Deciders think it will end up better for them because — of what, exactly? When you consider that the USA supported the Taliban in Afghanistan to the tune of more than … Continue reading A lost cause

The Morden-Day America.

You Americans are luvvies- warm, friendly, generous– and much too polite lately. Why are you sitting around sucking your thumbs and sucking up the Biden BullShit? Are you utterly spineless? Of course politicians have no spines, just like they have no scruples. Politicians may start with principles and a conscience but those who try to act accordingly are weeded out at the lower levels. The … Continue reading The Morden-Day America.

This war

So far, I am untouched by this war. My family was profoundly touched by earlier wars. My great uncle was killed in Chimurenga. Not in combat, in a training accident while he was still in his teens. A cousin of mine was killed when his helicopter was shot down in Congo. I’ve run my fingers across his name on the Veteran’s monument in Gweru. My … Continue reading This war
