Once upon a time someone posted their home country for sale on Craigslist and while popular culture saw it as a mere publicity stunt to boost online activity on the user's profile some people raised a cautiously curious eyebrow to it. There is merit to placing an entire country on sale on display of the online store front; neither promotion nor immaculate condition nor a non starter needing some attention and the deal of a lifetime, it's an absolute shit bomb and not the fixer up dream many wish it to be: South Africa with a failing economy nearing bankruptcy, no working utilities, high levels of civil unrest and collapsing infrastructure and magnificent views of the countryside. Going for the price of corruption, it's a steal, a rampant fire sale, everything must go. Every square inch of value is slowly being strip mined and left to corrode away in the great waisted opportunity that is Africa. Early bird discount offered should civil war break out prior purchase. The insane amount of debt aside you will take ownership of failed power supply, failed water sanitation utilities, failing education system benchmarked at 30% achievement, medical practices pioneered in medieval times, a bankrupt economy plundered by corrupt government entities you may well have to bribe and payoff to get rid of, incompetent armed forces, crooked police, an overburdened unemployment fund desperate for the institution of workhouses, malnourished agricultural sector and car guards.
Additional issues include illegal immigration, Nigerian syndicates operating drug and human trafficking, rampant crime, collapsing transportation, social inadequacy want everything for free. Ultimately you're buying racism and segregation because in all honesty South Africa hasn't put apartheid behind them. South Africa today benefits from civil freedoms and nothing more. Enough said about change, there is no foreseeable improvement for the country as we watch the slow advancement of the cancer destroying the last remaining positive values of a once proud and prosperous nation with a controversial history. It took Nelson Mandela 27 years in prison to bring about change in South Africa and it took the anc government 27 years to ruin everything. But the people are great with a full service history of ignorance and arrogance in sufficient quantities to poach off the last rhino in Africa. Don't despair, the people are accountable for letting it fall into ruin, ag shame ne, let's have a braai and a few bottles of brandy in communal criticism of the world around them. Anything goes, as per the ANC government. This in line with the international standard of I'll do what I want, fuck you you're ignoring and I don't care. 99.9% distrust rating on social media platforms, good job everyone. We're steering clear of cancel culture territory, wait a minute no we are definitely not because someone needs to kick the world in it's va-jayjay to wake it up. Fuck you, our purpose here is to hurt your "feewings" on every level of personal association. This is not Hate speech, this is brutal honesty lessos minds assume is hateful because it sounds super angry. Suck it the fuck up princess because your grandpa crawled through the blood soaked streets of Apartheid South Africa fighting for your civil freedom, your grandma endured daily abuses of inequality for everyone to be seen as equals in a democracy. You have smeared millennial fecal matter all over that legacy with your disrespect for the common laws, tantrum rants for free stuff the rest of us earned through perseverance and determination instead opting to complain about the failed state and growing racial intolerance you claim to be so liberal toward. Less talking, more doing. The established dictatorship can still be challenged and defeated if everyone gets their shit together and stands against the anc government. The gunpowder treason shall not suffice, understanding the mechanics of tyranny requires the status quo doesn't shift too much - the goal being to put someone in charge that favours everyone better than their predecessor. Do yourself a service by reading Dictators Handbook by Alastair Smith & Bruce Bueno de Mesquita, available everywhere these things called books are stored.
