One of the funnier experiences I had studying my undergrad was walking into my first environmental economics class expecting very orthodox green, maybe even degrowth talking points, only for the first thing we get taught to be that "the total minerals in the earth is an…

And, unfortunately, there has been relatively little introspection about why these predictions were wrong.



After reading "Economics: The User's Guide" and "Bad Samaritans" I have to conclude that Ha-Joon Chang is just terrible.


Who in the Cape voted for this? No one, yet it is here and only getting worse. The only way we will combat the degradation is by reasserting our autonomy. The national government is causing this, and the provincial government is too weak and timid to deal with it.

This is Cape Town, the real Cape Town, the story of 2 cities

LAND INVADERS have built shacks directly on the railway lines in Langa, further crippling rail services, and hurting commuters who use the trains. They can’t be removed because of the stupid PIE Act. Clear the tracks. Get them the hell off. Send them back from whence they came.

You thought a senior member of the party declaring that the leadership has been captured by the ANC and other criminal interests was a big kerfuffle? Silly you, they were already in the process of covering it up. No panic. Carry on as you were.

Dion George's resignation being framed as DA infighting and panic. But it may be much simpler than that. The DA says he resigned before a formal process could test serious allegations, which means the big questions never got properly answered. There were also significant…

I think at some level the ANC and the black elite are annoyed by South Africa's linguistics diversity and I don't mean just with Afrikaans.


"I think you've had enough to drink already" 🔄 Translating... "Im a light-weight and you're making me jealous"


I think you could broadly categorized Anglo-SAns into 5 types: Afrophiles, Anglophiles (Souties), Afrikanerphiles, Topophiles, and Cosmopolitants. I hesitate to include the last one since it mainly describes something that isn't there so is maybe too broad.


Matric pass rate is a pointless metric. Show us the rate of students completing school from grade 1 to 12.

2025 Matric Results Announcement: NSC Provincial Breakdown Pass Rate 1. KwaZulu-Natal - 90.6% 2. Free State - 89.33% 3. Gauteng - 89.06% 4. North West  - 88.49% 5. Western Cape - 88.20% 6. Northern Cape - 87.79% 7. Mpumalanga - 86.55% 8. Limpopo - 86.15% 9. Eastern Cape -…



Really dark moment for America. The sooner Trump and his Peronist quacks are gone the better.

This gotta be up there with some of the most retarded econ policy he's tried. No doubt if banks capped interests at 10% he'd try bully the banks into handing out high-risk loans anyways.

Thank God the Europeans came along and gave Africa its precious borders. What would we do without the sacred lines on a map. Every day I pray thanks to Saint Cecil Rhodes and King Leopold the second for giving us these divisions based on imperialist resource extraction.

The amount of white right-wingers calling for SA to be broken up into ethno-nationalist states is extremely concerning. What the actual fuck is wrong with these people



Whenever ANC affiliates say something to the effect of "SAns are the friendliest, nicest, and most moderate people ever" I sort of just roll my eyes because the implicit suggestion amounts to "it can't happen here" with regards to radical leftist takeover.


Great piece. Zulus will continue to throw their support behind statists and despots until they gain the self-confidence, wealth, and independence that comes from a strong civil society. I hope that comes to be.

There is nothing stopping AmaZulu from forming their own voluntary associations to build wealth and institutions for themselves. rationalstandard.com/p/some-reflect…



Still true

Trump talking about taking Canada (which i suspect he isn't serious about) and Greenland (which he may be more serious about) is very bad, both for America and international stability.



I don't know how feasible a regime change operation would have been in Zimbabwe at the time, but being so weak towards someone so evil is always the wrong move.

In this moment among all the many legitimate concerns with America's actions, I find myself thinking back to the "quiet diplomacy" of Mbeki towards Mugabe.
