If you could change 1 thing about Somali culture?

I would change this culture of xasidness that we have and replace it with genuine desire to see one another succeed. I think this would improve our community greatly.

Most Somalis are frothing at the mouth reactionaries

Unfortunately true.

I don't know a lot needs to be changed for f*ck sake we in 2016 and yet we still dabbling in medieval practices and thought process, one thing we need to get rid of asap is the practice of shunning of forward thinking you come with some thing and they quick to jump and say Gaal atahey amaa shuquul galeeydka nagaala taag.

I have a deep respect for the Shiat Ali

Somalis like to pick and choose what they want to practice in their faith. Observe them closely.

Most reactionaries are hypocrites.

Lie must be stop and Qiyali living.

1) I wish somalis were original and had a sense of individualism.

2) Live and let live.

Nothing. It's perfect
I wouldn't change shit Breh

 

[Kaafiye]

What would it be? For me it would be ceeb this and ceeb that, Somalis think everything is ceeb anything that deviates from what they consider normal, we shame people too much it's corrosive to our culture.

You could have picked our extreme corruption or our myopia or our lack of cooperation skills.

But you chose ceeb culture as our primary problem.

Something is wrong with you.

You're asking Somalis to be liberal and forward thinking. Good luck with that. That's why conservatism sucks. People want to justify doing terrible shit from 1921 in the name of tradition and culture. Back in the day cultural conservatives were against the suffrage movement because it went against the culture and traditions of the time.

It's the same fucking diabolical arguments you hear from Somalis. Cultures evolve and its about fucking time ours did as well.

That has nothing to do with conservatism you nacaas.

You don't even know what conservatism even means. All belief systems and ideologies consider themselves progressive and "forward-thinking". For you to hijack that term speaks to your shallow thinking and incredible arrogance.

You really are an utter moron. Honestly your IQ must be shockingly low.

Social conservatism is about the preservation of traditional values, culture and morals.

A cursory glance would do, tbh.

Traditional values depends on what culture you're referencing.

No two cultures are alike.

I'm actually embarrassed that you're this stupid. Please take a timeout and sit in the corner for 10 minutes.

Ceeb culture is worse because it restricts human capital and growth.

Thanks bro.

Somalis need to become a lot like the U.S with its 'can do' attitude and general positive outlook in life.

 

[Al Dhoobe]

If Somalis weren't the way we are we'd probably be the biggest used condom in the African continent. The same qabiyaalad that destroys us, actually saved us from our natural resources being exploited by foreigners or so called somali governents used by foreigners. It's literally a catch 22! Qabiil protects the land and the people who reside there, but it also deters any development due to the qabiil having more sovereignty over the land than the government itself
