An open letter to the people of South Africa:


So what now?

The trending hashtag in the social consciousness of 2022 South Africans without a satisfactory answer. Before we rabble over the poor state of affairs our country is failing to overcome I’d like to address the people, ordinary citizens burdened with the woes of a nation succumbed to the slow cancerous decay of unilateral democracy a quarter of a century revealed. What happened to you?

Everyone simply surrendered, gave up the fight and rolled over to quietly die without dignity. We fought oppression and injustice and, mostly, social division to stand as a country united if only for a short time before tumbling back into our old habits. It’s not impossible to overcome the discrimination of the past should we choose to learn from it and move forward together leaving all that racially motivated hatred in the history books. We all want the same thing, we all face the same challenges in order to change but South Africa is a failing state because everyone stopped giving a shit and let bad decision making go unchecked and unchallenged. What is it going to take to wake you up and pull your head out of your arse to motivate you into action?


Good people, genuine fucking people are losing their passion for a country with huge potential because the most South Africans don’t care. I’m telling all of you the ability to change things for the better is there. Piss poor education, collapsing government infrastructure, depleted economy are scary things but they’re not impossible to better. I believe attitude needs changing. Get out of the past, let it go and move forward. Take ownership of your decisions, we need to work together to make South Africa prosper. Ask questions, basic fucking questions about everything if you’re unsure, there is no reason to remain ignorant. Drop the attitude of personal self preservation, you’re an idiot to believe there is no problem with the current state of the nation and you’re an even bigger idiot to blame someone else. With a bit of focus we can change for the better. The government has lied to everyone, violent protests won’t change that. Take the fight to parliament, these muppets work for us, the people and we need to speak up. Voice our objections as a nation united and tell every MP to get their shit together or to get the fuck out because we deserve better leadership. Half witted individuals have dangerously driven the entire country to the brink of failure with their half-ass ideology.


Evaluate what is important, what takes priority and plan from there. Education takes priority, education is important, education needs a plan. Everything starts with education, everything builds upon that foundation, starting with English. Speak in English, write in English, think in English and get better at it. Not forsaking the diversity of language we have but I’m telling you English is the global default language; we’ll officially welcome the aliens to Earth in English. Know things by learning things because knowledge exercises the brain just like training at a gym exercises your muscles.


Continue to rage against the machine but your protest needs guidance instead of violence. Wanton destruction doesn’t resolve your problem, it sets your objective back. Fight the power by taking the fight to them, bring your protest right to their doorstep, face them. I understand the monumental task ahead for this change to happen but considering the current state of hatred, ignorance and intolerance. It plagues everyone but we can change. All we need is a decent plan, a plan that will grow our country from strength to strength. We had such a plan in 1994 and it was working until 2003 when everyone said fuck the plan and started doing their own thing reaching the current situation that I consider a huge insult to all those great men and women who defied the persecution of the past to walk South Africa into freedom, everyone forgot their history. History is important; it’s the documented account of our predecessors we learn from, gain insight and should be motivated not to repeat the same mistakes. The most comprehensive source of history is printed in books, the digital equivalent has been whittled away to millennial garble-rot. Put in the effort to learn; libraries, book stores, news agents, charity shops - let this be your quest for knowledge.


Drop your opinions, they’re outdated. Ridicule quickly turns into sarcasm, sarcasm is not taken seriously. All the armchair criticism sounds like a school yard sizing up of whose imaginary friends are better. Enough cock banter. Communication, direct, take your complaints to the people you’re complaining about; call them out without in real time. Stay off social media, it’s the option pulpit of distraction that nullifies the severity of your complaining.


There is some good left if people exercise a little compromise. My recent experience with a government institution was positive and of a fair standard of practice. I left satisfied but still there were a few nay-sayers sharing their criticism, come on people take the small victories. The more positive feedback we share can spread the improvement of service. The success is still in the minority, Lets grow that number.


So what now?

Discontinue the love/hate relationship, we either move forward or we move back. The choice I leave to you.

The fairies got into an argument that escalated to brawling over differences in opinion. A riot followed, property was damaged and things were burned or stolen. It's just in their nature as it is in nature. Someone disagrees and laws get reversed, crowds are fired upon, countries wage war and fuel prices increase. Having written the HU manifesto, which remains unpublished, our consensus on humanity indicates people are the planet's apex parasite so should extraterrestrial life arrive on earth; think Independence Day without the epic speech or happy ending.


Unwavering we doggedly pursue our ridiculous quest to preserve humanity as determined as ever to conquer all as the new supreme overlords, that's not the manifest but the fairies believe it so roll with that.

Hello Irony Fairy here, today we’re sharing face palm moment:

American politicians are banning abortion as the country exhausts its supply of baby formula, diapers and feminine hygiene products. Face palm.
