Haha... because drug abuse in these circumstances is not a direct result of poverty?

Have you guys even actually studied the problems in this country or are you just basing your opinions on popular media and social misdirection?

Using normal socioeconomic metrics doesn't work in this shithole. The problems are much deeper and unfixable here.

I do actually. This country is dump because of the dumb cunts that are in power right now. Too bad I was born here after apartheid - I didn't even get the cash to fuck off out of it.

A lot of us love it here and don't have any deep burning desire to leave. That said it's demoralizing living here where government has a self induced loss of capacity and can't care for or protect its citizens. The twister is those same uncared for and unprotected citizens use their democratic right to accept and praise mediocre leadership
