DeepSight:A modern western style nation is native to those nations and the peoples of the west. I am not saying civilisation is beyond other peoples or nations, or what civilisation\development should or would look like in those other peoples or nations. What I am saying is that like the Japanese society is an outworking of their unique history and traditions (and in some respects is like WDN and can readily adapt and\or absorb aspects of them seamlessly if required), you can't expect all development by all peoples and nations to tend towards the WDN model. Moreso, trying to forcibly impose it where it is contrary to natal inclinations and tendencies is a recipe for disaster - like an organ transplant gone wrong. DeepSight:The reason why is because it is not natal. Part of the inherent consciousness derived from faith, history, tradition and customs. DeepSight:As ever, drop your strawmen and faux outrage. Not racially inferior, but savagery certainly exists does it not? And where does that emanate from. Why can Fula pastoralists casually slaughter people who look not too dissimilar and are racially pretty much equivalent? TV |
DeepSight:Be honest with yourself. The modern western developed nation is not natal to sub-saharan Africans. People of sub-saharan ethnicity can flourish in every position and at every point within a WDN, and those who grow up in that milea are no different in essence from indigenous westerners. The problem is that at scale, sub-saharans do not have the wherewithal to create what is not native to them. It is clear-eyed reality. Admit it, if we emptied the UK and filled it with Nigerians, it would decline rapidly until it was a facsimile of Nigeria. It wouldn't hold as is, and it wouldn't get better. Likewise if you emptied Nigeria and filled it with people who grew up in a WDN (of whatever ethnicity), within a decade it would be transformed beyond the levels and imagination of any current SSA nation. Gainsay that all you like! SA will soon regress to the days of Shaka Zulu ![]() TV |
tctrills:No mind am. Black-majority rule kicked in barely a generation ago and SA is already a failing state. Deepsight argues they need time, and can't say how much. As if of a necessity, it has to get worse - to the point of failure - before it gets better .It was a fully functioning modern state. It has now regressed to Naija levels, and spiralling. Nothing new had to be invented. Just continue as was. If they knew they couldn't run it why not transition in an orderly fashion? So now we know, power =\= wherewithal. When their leader went ahead to marry a 5th\6th\7th? Wife I knew it was back to the Kraals for them. TV |
Zahra29:That is correct. What they do is bring a colossal sense of entitlement , and demand - almost by sheer force of will - that British politics bends to serve their - immigrant - best interest. Regardless of wider concerns or true national interest. Zahra29:I only give cursory regard to politics - it's mostly theatre. But I've watched a few of her outings in PMQ's, and to be honest she is on a roll - and growing in sttature. Punchy and really polished performances. I take a dim view of our current crop of politicians - across the board - narry a statesman amongst them. But KB is definitely stand-out at the moment, and as a leader, putting daylight amongst herself and the pack - within and without. Zahra29:Agreed. I also think some of the things I thought may hamper her are turning in her favour as the "unknown unknowns" come into play. Her ethnicity which I thought would hinder, is a growing strength as she can stand against anti-semitism without the burden some indigenous politicians have. She is undeniably bold, forthright and the closest to calling out ee.slam.eek extremism which is coming more to the fore. Jenrick is vanquished and there don't appear to be any within her party not on-side with her leadership. I thought she ascended too soon, but with the disarray within the Labour party playing out, the emergence of the Greens and splitting of the vote amongst other right parties, the run up may serve her well. More lead time to establish her standing within the party, deliver stellar performances and repair some of the damage to her party. If Reform don't perform, there may be returnee Tory voters. Possibly a position in a coalition government? In all, I wish her well. It would tickle me to bits to see do well and the attending howls and choking all over this thread. They hate her because she's not like them and doesn't do what they demand. TV |
DeepSight:Please stop. I've already pointed out the shallowness and ultimate futility of your argument. https://www.nairaland.com/4508641/american-politics-thread-trump-47th/6045#139313829\ Firstly, no one denies there has been historic injustices, or even ongoing discrimination against minorities. That does not mean that there are no in-group pathologies that are hampering FBA's and those should not be addressed. Secondly, that's not even proof that extant discrimination s the major factor holding FBA's back. Other minorities are able to rise above and flourish despite disadvantages. And, FBA's would be served better by striving against all odds and not cloaking themselves in the cape of victimhood - hint, it's not a superpower. It's an enervator, a block to self-reflection and only serves to widen the gap. Thirdly, your "it's all about historic injustice and can't be solved until an unquantifiable amount of time has passed, robs them of the moment, the ability to seize the day, absolving them of the responsibility to make real progress under their own steam - regardless of what others do, say or think of them. As does your "all the causal factors are external to the people and have been explained by scholarly research". Not too mention your "blacks can;t flourish until racism ceases to exist. Because Juice don't lead in pretty much everything of note, despite being fewer than FBA's and literally having half the world against them. The bolded is the hallmark of a real people, a viable nation. It's why nonsense talk of carving out a self-sustaining black nation within the US is the most laughable pipe dream. Listen carefully. To live in a developed country FBAs need white people and the order and structure they afford. They (FBAs) simply don't have the collective wherewithal or critical mass as it stands to go it alone. And deep down they know it - and so do you, and all those who flee native black countries for western nations TV ..and don;t think I haven;t noticed how you never answer questions ![]() |
jedisco:You are 90% certain that a "bloke" you have never met is on benefits, but have 0% clue about the when, the what and the why of how your homeland will develop - despite it being your lived experience . Your low-brow nature is typical. Can't make a decent attempt at even a simple case for his assertions, so resorts to ad hominem and personal attacks. Unsurprising crassness from one who spams the thread with his financial statements. Bragging about a 70k pension pot, talk about small and shake. Utter tit!jedisco:That is a question you'd have to pose to those that "receive it" - especially in preference to their homeland "kpali". And like the small minded tribal creature you are, you cannot grasp notions of patriotism or even commonwealth, let alone love and the desire for flourishing of one' nation. Driven only by your belly, grift and a desire for self-aggrandisement. And lo, your fellow ship abandoning pack come crawling out . If only they could find or post something worthy of a response. As the nation, so the people. TeeVee ![]() |
THEDEEPSIGHT:If you can't make it simpler than this, then it's futile. My brain is clearly microscopic .Your analogy fails for a number of reasons. Not least because it is not reducible to 2 individuals - as if all black people are relatively underprivileged and all white people are over-privileged. What ails the underprivileged white people - who have always been with us? Secondly, there are myriad actions that have been taken to redress the historical wrongs which no one denies. A big flaw with your position is the inability to accept any merit in the opposing argument and the sad resort to slurs and tantrums - that clearly demonstrates weakness. The pathways and drive to ensure equal opportunities for all are such, that endemic pathologies have to be considered. And it's a legitimate view that resolving those will drive more gains for FBA than anything else. You typically descend into a dark supremacist rhetoric when challenged or countered. Again weak. Happy to forego your endless callouts if you cannot accept there are natal pathologies in the FBA and proffer real solutions, instead of your "billions and billions of years and trillions and trillions of dollars", i.e. never, never and it's all whiteys fault approach .I'm mostly fond of everyone here regardless - even if I take no prisoners sometimes . But some of the content is just rabid. lacking in nuance or due consideration and is oft times just reverb. Please.TV |
NerdCat:You are free to your view. Mine is different. I am sufficiently convinced by the evidence there is that there is a Creator, and that He is perfect in all His ways. How could He not be. NerdCat:You do realise that for believers faith is a factor. If "verifiaility" is beyond us, who is to say? Could you explain what you mean by structurally - is that within what you'd call a logical framework, or something else? NerdCat:Why does suffering "have to be prevented". Why is incumbent on The Creator to ensure there is no suffering? Christianity portrays "suffering" as an outworking of disobedience by mankind - for which warning was given. For beings created out of and for love, freewill has to be a part of the mix. NerdCat:Omnipotence acts likewise - with certain knowledge of the mercy and justness of the outcome. Again, you claim to know what is best. How? What is your framework for determining this? NerdCat:Suffering is suffering. If you charge Omnipotence within your framework with the ability and foreknowledge to forestall it, why make any distinction? NerdCat:I have indicated why within my faith framework. I don't so much see a widening as no reason to restrict it. Omnipotence is in view is it not? .TV |
jedisco:As in, I ran, and am now sneaking back under cover of darkness. - a true Naija guyman . And take it from an ill-educated overly-verbose Brit - you've overegged the essess in musing jedisco:Tha's not your problem. Your problem is your inferiority complex and unwillingness to leave your lawlessness and backwardness at the border - to properely integrate. To appreciate this nation and show some goodwill about the fact that you are here! jedisco:No one does or is doing that. It's all in your head and a ruse to cover your home-nation lagging and lacking basic civilisational quality. Evidenced by the sly brag you included at the end. . You are nothing more than a "greefter" with a bloated self-regard. True to type.jedisco:True. But one is not meant to talk out of it .TV |
This has to be one of the most pathetic and weak responses I have ever come across - on anything, anywhere. Is that it? After being unable to adequately respond or make any kind of decent a case for a discussion point you yourself raised, you regress to slurs and accusations? It's worse for Nigeria and Nigerians than I actually thought. jedisco:What you have written is not a response. Unless you can call the recent outings of people like Daniel Bwala and Lai Mohammed responses - it's closer to the open defecation you are probably well familiar with. jedisco:This is just poor. Whatever the quality of my writing, what I described was "patriotism". Based solely on a legitimate right to be here and based on a love for the flourishing of this nation - not any other personal characteristic or attribute. Not ability or the lack thereof. But why am I not surprised. Notions such as patriotism, a sense of commonwealth, the rule of law, high-trust societies and the like can't compute with the likes of you. People who cannot see beyond their tribalism and inordinate desire for self-aggrandisement. jedisco:I wouldn't know? Are you able to show instances. I can't help your inability to comprehend reality, or your denial of the fact that there is currently nothing to evidence the claim that Nigeria will ever make it to a level of basic self-owned decency. Indeed, your ramblings here prove it. Your rubbish would make Reno Omokri Blush and FFK call in sick .jedisco:The problem "we" . You cant make this up. Are you reading yourself - you can determine "we", but I can't present my own opinion . The fact that basic welfare is available - not whether I am in receipt of it or not - is testament against your mentality and your country' inability to manage even the basics. It takes a certain kind of compassion,, benevolence and regard for others to have social welfare. Yes, we understand the empire is part of a great past. That empire is no more. We know that things are not as good as were, even taking a downturn. But we still love old Blighty and aren't majorly running off to grift and crap over other nations with regressive behaviour, backward practices and lawlessness. Now, any blueprint, pathway, vision, models, data, thumbnail or any other evidence to the fact that Nigeria will at some point make reasonable progress in terms of development - not assertions, claims, or sheer "force of will" because Jedi-Jedisco, assures us it will happen . TV |
tctrills:...ah . Indiscriminately firing neurons aplenty.TV |
tctrills:One weeps. For the utter depravity and casual way it is spelt out. I am never really shocked, but my gosh !TV |
DeepSight:...because, and to be honest, behind the bogus scholarly facade you like to present, you are a bit of a tit really. Just saying. I can't shake the feeling you are either never married or divorced .TV |
DeepSight:Oga, your pathologies are writ clear. On full view here. Inter-alia, faux outrage over differences. Petulant tantrums when you don't get your way. Wishing death or non-existence on strangers due to mere political disagreement. And your self-regard is off the charts .Heaven-high hyperbolic statements of disbelief. Poly-monikering and a obsessive insistence on being right - always having to have the last word. You fawn like a political hack and at once hate like a paid propagandist. Speak true, do you have healthy happy relationships outside of here? Those who report to you or rely on your benevolence must walk around on eggshells. Please, anything we can do to help? TV |
NerdCat:I disagree. Evidence for a creator abounds. My faith is historically attested too. Evidenced. NerdCat:Again, you rightly limit your observations to "observable reality". That was my point - not an attack on your morality, but your ability to take into account, or even all the relevant dynamic. All of God's attributes work in tandem. Actions by other players in the cosmos earthly and heavenly have consequences. Faith assures me that God has this all worked out. Whilst there may be pain and suffering now, redemption will come to all those who put their faith in Him. NerdCat:Your take is temporal. A surgeon rips open a mans chest to perform open heart surgery. Tat is harm, damage, but the end thereof is healing. One who was limited view of only the ripping may come to a different conclusion. NerdCat:Just filling out your postulation. Resorting to an emotional use-case is not required. If you declare omnipotence is responsible for and to alleviate pain, harm and suffering, surely it must be the totality of it? The parent who abandons their offspring and leads to lots f hurt and poorer outcomes. The one who leaves a supposedly committed realationship causing heartbreak. Random muggings, assaults, terror attacks, wars, along with a host of other things all cause pain, harm or suffering. Why not charge omnipotence with them as well? TV |
LordReed:People come up with changes that advance humanity and they are responsible if others decide to use them in harmful or destructive way? Yes my God is all powerful, knows all things and is everywhere present. Why should He do anything to prevent suffering to those who refuse to acknowledge Him, wilfully disobey His commands, nor seek or serve Him. Your demand is that He do good as you see it and on your terms .Wait. TV |
DeepSight:What wealth did Japanese Americans inherit? Or the Irish or Italian. The Nigerian or the Ghanaian nko? Stay in school - to degree level if possible. Get gainfully employed. Get married, and be sure to do so before you have children. Simples. If relatively poor, there are all kinds of assistance, grants, awards and scholarships. Myriad programmes and DEI initiatives. It's actaually harder not to have a modicum of success. But love of grift and a propensity to lawlessness no go gree you !TV |
DeepSight:In your own words, please explain how - briefly please. Ta! TV |
DeepSight:TV is never vulgar . I suspect you have mod permissions and employ them to hide posts you find hurty !DeepSight:Not all black issues stem from the "centuries of discrimination, segregation, prejudice and economic marginalization". Further, using that as a fig leaf to hide behind and a cosh to ward off scrutiny harms black families. As do other social pathologies, especially amongst FBAs. For many black and non-FBA blacks, this whole discrimination\raycist bag is typically a grifters charter. DeepSight:Nope, I don;t need a course in languishing in victimhood, growing an insufferable entitlement or refusing to take charge and map my own destiny with everything I have - stand or fail. People are short, broke, disabled, crippled, blind, barren, orphans, living in war-torn countries and challenged in all manner of ways. What is it? Every group or community of people have at some point in history suffered setbacks, marginalisation or wide-scale trauma. Making those experiences your habitation will only have a compounding effect. Similar to individual relationships. Have a bad one? Ok, pick yourself up, dust yourself down and get on with life. If you choose to become a misandrist or misogynist and spend all your time wailing about how wicked the opposite sex are, that's your baggage. At some point, no one will care, and no one will want to hear it. Free will bro TV |
raumdeuter:...or if she can't find 4 male witnesses to her violation, she is in turn accused of adultery and likely stoned to death. People who argue for the cultural and scoietal superiority of the ME over the West and actually move there are as rare as unicorns .TV |
THEDEEPSIGHT:Lagos lout with your potty mouth. Did you get banned . It's not your potty mouth that irritates the most, it's your bone-headedness .Even during the slave era in the US, black people managed to maintain a sembelence of pair-bonding. Post slavery, the rates were pretty much level with other communities. Once the US govt started to hand out free cash with prompts which incentivised single-motherhood, things took a turn for the worse. Not everything is directly related to historical discrimination. Although I do understand how believing so gives a near fail-safe position and strips away the need for any form of critical thinking TV |
DeepSight:The breakdown of the family affected the whole of the black community and impeded its advance. Serial killers do not have the same broad-based impact on the white community. Obviously not one of the urbane, educated leftists you were describing . Is there no end to your headache-inducing babble ?TV |
bemeruca:He also hates black people who don't join his hate parade for WP and Juice. Freely and gleefully throwing around slurs such as HN and cooon or variations thereof. A really hateful person. tctrills:Oh yes, and this too. A spewer of tropes and canned ideology. Wrapped up in tantrums dressed as faux outrage .TV |
DeepSight:Yes please. Examples. Instances from all those scientific studies you spend your time reading !Perhaps you could deploy the same methodology in your, not gradually, but rapidly spiralling nation. TV |
DeepSight:People accused TR of being racist - I asked for evidence. Detail of broad based harm, or intended harm to black or ethnic minorities in the UK, via his actions individually or as part of an organisation. Non was forthcoming. DeepSight:You quite clearly despise white people and you are one of this boards foremost haters of "Juice". Repeating AS tropes even after being repeatedly corrected. But, I don's suppose the Juice care about the opinion of someone scraping out a living in a backwater no one takes seriously. Kinda like me .TV |
DeepSight:Is your statement science in any sense? Please detail or point to instances which can be used to confirm this position. bemeruca:Abi? TV |
Why was I called out here? I don't, as a rule discuss people or personalities. Only principles, policies and practice. And, coming from you, accusations of racism are quite rich don't you think?. TV DeepSight: |
