Every sector in Kenya, from education, employment to business, runs on one fundamental law which we inherited from Anglo-Saxons.

We must have it ALL.

And having it all is proved by others having NOTHING. Even if someone has less than us, we must get it so that we have it all.

Having it all is a psychosis which makes the UK and the US be in constant war with everybody and the planet. And it is a white supremacist psychosis. Whites would rather die in the streets than have universal healthcare from which non-whites would benefit.

And because having it all is a disease, a contradiction of humanity, white supremacy needs rituals of violence to affirm this psychosis. Racism and lynchings of both people and animals, and destruction of the planet, become necessary to feed this psychosis. @ErrantNatives

@ErrantNatives This is how to understand the insatiable greed of the Kenyattas. They are stealing, distorting every sector (health, education, milk) to suit their businesses, imprisoning us with debt, prison enterprises and #hudumanamba, to ensure that they have it all and Kenyans have nothing.

@ErrantNatives To secure this psychosis, the Kenyattas bind the Kikuyu to rituals of violence. Oathing, constant brainwashing, despair and suicide, and blaming it on anything else but the economy. Kikuyus are encouraged to engage in self-lynching to protect a fake supremacy #uthamakistan

@ErrantNatives And ALL Kenyan politicians envy this evil, that is why they are always handshaking and doing any form of negotiating with the Kenyattas for a slice of this evil.

@ErrantNatives The way to fight this evil is simple. UBUNTU. We must train ourselves to care for the next person as we would care for ourselves. We must always ask ourselves: if I get this, what would it mean for others and the planet? If we feel insecure, let us speak what makes us insecure.

@ErrantNatives Confession of our insecurity would make us collaborate and find public solutions for the problems we contront. Keeping our insecurity silent makes us spend our energy planning how to steal from the next person.

And stealing is not only money. We also steal ideas and energy.

@ErrantNatives In the world of ideas, there is stealing. Creatives and intellectuals find themselves in meetings, and "hubs" where their energy, creativity and ideas are sapped by bureacrats, politicians and foreign investors, and the ideas promote the personal fortures of the thieves.

@ErrantNatives That means that in creative spaces, some people pretend to contribute but are plotting on how to approach a donor or politician to personally profit from that idea.

That's why our youth find themselves using a lot of energy coming up with ideas and having nothing to show for it.

@ErrantNatives If we had UBUNTU, nobody would be plotting to steal the work of the collective for their personal gain, because if they were caught, they would be ostracized from the community. UBUNTU would make us happy to share our work to benefit everybody, not just ourselves personally.

@ErrantNatives At #CBCConference2019, Dr @rakeshrajani justified such idea theft by telling Magoha to use the ideas of critics to improve the CBC. That is essentially encouraging politicians to steal our ideas for political expediency and while society and the children of Kenya do not benefit.

@ErrantNatives @rakeshrajani UBUNTU can help us value everybody's benefit as a goal to achieve. UBUNTU can cure our souls from this obsession with being ahead of everybody else. If we want to go fast, we go alone, but if we want to go far, we go together. UBUNTU is working together.

@ErrantNatives @rakeshrajani And don't be surprised to hear UBUNTU in the president's speeches in the weeks to follow. He has theives for speechwriters, who are very good at twisting our words for social justice to make him sound like he cares for Kenyans.

Watch that space.
