The Mini-racists Tribal propaganda
A simple response to OBO Arada Shawol
We tend to trust people who act and think like us, and seem to share common values. Tribal foot
soldiers begin with attempts to build rapport and trust. A skilled trickster will not beat you over
the head with his idea without first learning what you believe in, and finding common ground.
Once he has convinced your subconscious he can be trusted, your defenses drop, and the real fun begins. The trickster tribalist will rely upon known cultural beliefs and or popular themes when crafting his discourse. That is why there is a new class born in Ethiopian society. It is a sell out tribalist class of people who change their color very often to confuse other people. Their art of trickery is still going strong, and is a primary weapon of the sellout class. Most of the rhetoric to which we are subjected by detractors, websites, and so called magazines and radio hosts is not sincere, it is merely propaganda designed to crown their own tribal king in Minilik’s palace. And in all their arguments there is an anti-Amara tone and sentiment to it. Many of these arguments appeal to our emotions and conditioning, and are often effective in convincing people to adopt positions for fallacious, yet attractive but poisonous reasons.
If you hear a paid foot soldier and hidden racist tribal member advocating on behalf of his chosen bosses, do you believe he is anything other than a hired gun, paid to convince you to adopt his boss’s position? Is there anyone left who thinks our so called opposition supporters speak to us from the heart, rather than using carefully chosen, professionally scripted words to obtain our support? Do these paid individuals political brokers, and advertising websites truly have your best interests at heart, or might they simply be telling you what they have been taught you want to hear, so they might get the future share of the loot after they crown tier tribal king? The first step to avoiding the undue influence of paid tricksters is adopting a healthy skepticism toward all forms of rhetoric and advocacy. Assume initially that all statements made by anyone working to sell any product or idea are self-serving and insincere, as this assumption will usually be correct. Especially distrust any attempt to invoke feeling or emotion as part of a sales pitch. Religion, patriotism, country, tribe, ethnicity, etc. are all routinely exploited by skilled tribalists. They tell you most people support their agenda and their chosen person, But you do not have to be “most people.” You are free to see through the facade of these tribalists, and use guidance on your own terms.
Hello OBO Arada Shawol, you too?
Yes indeed “birds of the same feather flock together” but in this case you missed it by a mile the
flocks turned out to be different species than the once you mentioned. Isn’t this amazing when
Bertukan soldier Yilma Bekele, Berhanu’s new soldier Obo Arada Shawol? Joining hands with
Siye’s soldier Tekola Hagos a known racist Amara hater. Bravo to the EMF website for bringing
all the anti Amara elements together. But Obo Arada Shawol advocating for Berhanu Nega? And
supporting Tekola Hagos’s suggestion for Ethiopia to be colonized by foreigners? What is this
world turning into? To say the least, I expected to hear a lot from the above mentioned mini-racists but when I read “Birds of the same feather flock together: the case of Engineer Hailu Shawl” By Obo Arada Shawl on Ethiolion.com, I was disappointed. I followed Obo Arada showel’s writing and I always consider him as an old comrade who can see things differently than looking at them
