My point exactly. I think that it goes deeper than simply discrediting
the government (because let's face it, there are far better and more
legitimate ways to discredit this particular government: AIDS policy,
Zimbabwe, corruption etc.) The people who propagate this sort of
misinformation have an agenda of their own, an agenda flavoured with
malcontent, racism, bitterness, and misplaced feelings of
disenfranchisement. It's strange how the very people who were quite
happy to oppress before 1994, now complain when they feel a bit
uncomfortable or are inconvenienced. |
