Our generation is hopeless having been screwed by capitalism. In the 20s, 30s, 40s, 50s, 60s and 70s that generation was invested in humanism and wanted better for all across the world. They were able to organise across continents. Old men in Murang'a would send conman Kenyatta to London; Likes of Che Guevarra would come to Congo to fight with Patrice Lumumbas. We are so screwed up with illusions of
good life which is but a mirage seeing how the supposedly successful people are now dying of breathing complication which is a nursery school science.
While the despots seem to be accumulating more power in the short term claiming you are spreading corona; in the coming decade we will get several Gaddaffi moments.
I never expected it to unravel in the Washington swamp the way it is! I was expecting Slovakia, Belarus, Nigeria and such to take the dump first. It is inevitable as the uselessness of governments whose only welfare is for the 1 percenters is exposed. Corona is certainly a reboot button. I do not discount emegence of guerillas to join Bobi Wine or Tigrays from bolivia or Kenya. Alshabaab destructive ideology has done it, it is probably some time for some humanistic guerillas to organise.
In political freedoms; yes; but life in uganda is very cheap; food so plentiful'; the variety more than in kenya; alcohol very cheap; that is why Museveni despite all that; is going for live presidency. Yes anything imported is more expensive than kenya - phones, electronics - but other stuff like clothes - are cheaper.
And really there is no prov admin or police intruding in people lifes - alcohol is sold in dukas - weed is everywhere (that is part I really enjoyed )
Feels like a mini Ethiopia still worse than Kenya.
Pundit there is no substitution for freedom nothing, don't be fooled eti you can a good life without that, that's why China even with its economic muscle never ranks anywhere close to the west when it comes to citizen empowerment. You become mere robots of the state and they fool you with cheap alcohol, food etc.
