I am addressing a foolish question regarding why I utilize Western technology and English despite my stance against colonialism. I explain how we were coerced into this foreign system, contrasting it with the complete self-sufficiency of our ancestors who relied entirely on nature for food, medicine, and livelihood.
Addressing the Foolish Question
I am responding to a question from a fool who asked why we, who speak against colonialism, still use their phones and the English language. This question comes from the same mindset of brainwashed students who have been indoctrinated to consume the "body and blood" of a foreign savior without question. These people have zero intelligence and behave like zombies.
The Force of Education and Religion
I ask you, was the Sukuma or Chagga man missing anything before the arrival of the English language? We were forced into this system; a child is told they must get an 'A' in English, or they will fail their education and never become a teacher or professional. We did not choose this; it was a system of force that made us adopt these tools to survive, not because we lacked anything before.
The Versatility of the Banana Plant
Consider the Chagga people and the banana plant (mgomba) that God gave them originally. They did not need foreign intervention; they used the plant to create specific foods like kibulu, kitawa, and mbemba. Every part of the plant served a purpose for their survival and sustenance without needing to import anything.
Utilization of Natural Resources
The same banana plant provided leaves to feed their livestock and material to brew alcohol (pombe) for drinking. They had ripe bananas (ndizi mbivu) for fruit and nutrition. The ecosystem was complete, and nothing was wasted, proving that our ancestors were intellectually and resourcefully independent.
Traditional Medicine and Healing
Beyond food, the plant was our pharmacy. Unripe bananas (changa) were used to treat diabetic patients, and the ash created from burning the dried stem (unga unga) was used to treat children's ailments and burns. We had our own science and medicine derived directly from the land before anyone came to "civilize" us.
Language as a Tool of Control
English came specifically to erase our native tongues because language is a system of governance and control. I am answering this fool to explain that I use English because it is the current tool of administration that was forced upon us, not because I want to, and you are stupid for thinking otherwise.
