Who will bell the cat?

Pick ten out of those protesters, put them in one government post, and allocate funds to them, to take care of their community and soften the hardship.

You will see that they might turn out to be worse than the leaders they complain about. Coming out to protest is easy, any idiot can do that, but to reflect and make sure you are not a participant in the rot is a hard job, and many won't do it.

Whatever.

Nmeri17:


What do you propose? A return to colonial rule? Any other option?

omo na ur area be that oo.if you get yale bread #300 and beans 200 with pure water #100 it is okay.you don't need to satisfy this period na.

pansophist:


What I proposed was implied.

That in a bid to protest and be a moral judge of the corruption of the political class, it is imperative to self-reflect, and not be the exact thing we hate in others.

On the individual level, a lot of these protesters are not good people to their families, friends, employees, neighbors, etc. The golden rule (to treat others how you want to be treated) is not reserved only for the ruling class, but for everyone.

So no, returning to colonial rule is not even in the list of options. But doing right, matching our actions with words, its the way out.

Nmeri17:


We obviously cannot do anything right. If we could, we would have, for once in the past 64 years. My question was from a realistic /pragmatic perspective, not fantasies such as us miraculously being less hypocritical. We have both established that we are inherently bad people. There are two possible outcomes out of such event:

1) substitute us All with "x"
2) revert to the last working condition (explains my colonial suggestion)

Unfortunately, the west has devised another way to benefit from us, without the annex overhead–thanks to our dumb leaders (the leaders are no more guiltier than the people, in general)

Option 2 is most obvious but implausible, which was why I requested other options (ostensibly, under "x". So, will you be so kind to oblige me with favorable, realistic options that can fit this situation?

pansophist:


The third option.

Ditch off the imposed political system by the colonial masters and explore what works for us. The leadership of the whole is the most important segment of any people/society. China is very prosperous right now, but if they substitute their political system with our cesspit democracy, then they will be as dysfunctional as us.

This is my x.
