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.

Where Gen Z's are today was where my generation was 30 years ago. In our 20s, stuck in IMF SAPs, an AIDS pandemic, and a clueless political class gatekeeping a new generation out of adulthood.
We need a discussion about reconstructing Kenya to avoid these 30 year cycles.
The first thing we need to understand, which my generation didn't, was the role of the West. The @IMFNews and @WorldBank are main actors in these 30 year cycles. They are scared of a new generation of Africans rising and are manipulating our economies to block them from doing it.
@IMFNews @WorldBank It is not a coincidence that the hammers which the foreigners are dealing to African economies also coincide with the same thing in Nigeria and AES, and with the dumbing down of our school system. Gen Z's are in an anti-imperial struggle.
Grade 9 parents have been given this whatever called RIASEC which they are supposed to use in choosing career pathways and schools for their children.
I know we want to concentrate on our kids, but we're Africans. Nothing we are told to do is innocent.
So we have to understand where it's coming from, and why GoK bureaucrats, in their wisdom, decided that Kenyan parents should be subjected to it.
RIASEC is what people call psychometrics, where tests are used to measure people's intelligence or personalities.
Psychometrics are the offspring of scientific racism. Their roots are in 19th century attempts of Euro-American scientists to use tests prove that Africans were intellectually inferior.
And of course, they coincide with the end of slavery, when Africans start seeking education.
I cannot warn enough that the damage CBE/CBC will do to our children's psyche is going to be phenomenal. Parents, you have to wake up and listen. You have to stop looking at the what (content) of education, and think of the how your kids are developing. This isn't a joke.
The relationship between children and parents should be sacred. No teacher should be telling you what to do on weekends, less still, they shouldn't be telling you to take PHOTOGRAPHS of that activity. In this day and age? THINK! Do you want photos of your children in a data base?
As a parent, your job is to develop intimacy, trust and identity in your child. At home, your child should be learning to help around without the threat of a stick or a lower grade. This cannot happen if teecha is always telling you what to do over the weekend.
The only thing keeping the GoK in power is ignorance of Kenyans. And I don't mean the ignorance Jomo was talking about. Jomo was using the racist idea that Africans are ignorant because they don't know Western civilization.
I'm talking about ignorance as a war on consciousness.
Even the most vocal of voices, who were supposedly Gen Z, do not have political consciousness. They think that the right bureaucrats in the government will make Kenya work. Almost all the doctors who led #lipakamatender less than 10 years ago are now trying to make SHA work.
It's a complete failure of political philosophy that makes Kenyans think that GoK's problem is merit of the personnel. The majority of educated Kenyans think that way. And after school, they stop reading, so they sincerely think they are the messiahs whose skills will save Kenya.
We have no opposition because Kenya's democracy is elitist. Kenya's "democracy" is code for elites controlling the masses. Elections are for recalibrating the elite. They block us from fighting on issues. They fight each other and force us to watch and take (ethnic) sides.
The recalibration of the elite through elections is for giving ordinary Kenyans that they have the power to choose their leaders. But once the vote is cast, the recalibration begins. Lawyers in European wigs make fancy arguments in court, media looks active reporting numbers,
pastors pray for peace, private sector lectures us on going back to work, embassies endorse the vote, and Kenyans start following the appointments and sending congratulations. For the next 4 1/2 years, the elite keep circulating positions, making more appointments.
I'm convinced that Kenya is sustained by Western money. We can't have an extremely insipid, corrupt elite, an anti-intellectual academy, a non productive economy, and the economy hasn't crashed. There is an outside factor sustaining this Kenyan economy, but not on our behalf.
Our lives are becoming more incoherent and more chaotic, but the institutions are still standing instead of collapsing. Then the Kenyan journalists and international media sustain the image of a coherent intelligentsia who can explain Kenya with the right theories and data.
Kenya's chaos must be being contained with foreign money. That's why no matter what we shout about the mess, GoK ignores us.
Kenya is one big collective cognitive dissonance. The world can see it, but we, who suffer it, can't.
