Trump’s MAGA coalition is splintering over what it sees as the president’s failure to keep his “America First” campaign promise by leading the U.S. toward an overseas war to protect his pupeteers, Israel. The base that chanted “no more wars” is watching their guy start one. Without Congress and without a plan, not even a coherent explanation of what victory looks like. Some are staying … Continue reading The MAGA coalition is Cracking
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”
Donald Trump has never been shy about rewriting his own story. On September 6, 2025, The Telegraph reported that Mike Johnson, the Republican Speaker of the House, went on CNN and said Trump had been an FBI informant on Jeffrey Epstein. He said it like it was fact. Neither hesitation nor proof either. The idea that Trump was undercover against Epstein sounds wild. It is … Continue reading Donald Trump ‘The Epstein FBI Informant’ Sounds A Lot Like Uebert Angel ‘The Gold Mafia Spy’
Views I sit far from the stage where this drama plays out. I watch from a very tiny little town in Zimbabwe. The internet makes distance feel small. A camera, a stream, a hashtag, and a life is shredded. I do not pretend to be an expert. I know what I see. I know what it feels like when a crowd decides a man is … Continue reading Pedophiles, Patreons, and the Price of Public Shame
There was a time when billionaires stayed in boardrooms and presidents stayed on podiums. Now, their worlds have fused into one volatile theatre. Over the past fortnight or so, a dramatic and very public fallout has erupted between Elon Musk (billionaire CEO of Tesla and SpaceX) and Donald Trump, the recently re-elected president of the United States. It is vulgar, bizarre, and deeply instructive. And … Continue reading What the Musk–Trump Feud Tells Us About the Future of Power
I am tired of being a slogan.
Tired of being the glossy smile on a political poster, the ‘youth’ they name-drop when it’s time to chase votes or donors or dreams that were never built for us. I am tired of being the opening act at your summits, the dance troupe at your national celebrations, the one who reads the prepared speech about “hope” while you sip whisky and rehearse betrayal in the comfort of your bulletproof sedans. You wheel us out like ornaments, like cultural seasoning, and then stuff us back into unemployment, depression, or exile once the cameras are off.
There is no virtue in waving a flag drenched in blood. There is no dignity in singing an anthem muffled by the cries of the brutalized. And there is certainly no honour in pledging allegiance to a state that beats its people into silence and starves them into submission. Yet across the world, governments and their loyalists invoke the word “patriotism” like scripture, using it not as a unifier, but as a whip to silence dissent. This is not patriotism. This is propaganda. And propaganda in the hands of the powerful is a dangerous tool—a mask worn by tyranny, cloaked in national colours.

Donald Trump is what happens when a country mistakes loudness for leadership. He is a walking, orange migraine with a gold toilet and the ego of a demigod. A man who talks in loops, lies like it’s a reflex, and makes fascism sound like stand-up comedy…
