"let's consult the oracle"

Abdi here has interesting things to say on Ethiopian history.

I have been told/asked that I look Indian many times, specially by white people.

I like how he thinks he's shedding light on a cryptic issue that we never heard of before

Didn't everyone in early church (Catholics and Orthos alike) adopt the Melchizedek Priesthood?

Deaddd💀💀

She has a mom vibe to her. Would kill to get one like that

Im glad that we kicked their asses. Both my grandfathers fought in that war.

"you got assistance from the Soviets" Yeah nigga and they were helping you first. Sorry that they didn't see a future in you, they must have realized we are the winning side.

Monasticism isn't and shouldn't be plan B. Either it's plan A, or you don't do it at all.

"the win isn't yours"

There is this subtle cringiness that comes from protestants and I guess it overflows to the eo converts too, that makes them say things like this. It's not the truthness of his message, rather the means of delivery and the setting (on a public setting to a very large audience)

He says insane culture and the clip switches to girls in netela holding up skateboards

Quite a picture painted here by the author (British I presume) of the last hours before Haile Silassie left Ethiopia during the war. But one name caught my attention: "Ayena Birru". If I'm not mistaken, he is the man who created the Amharic typewriter...

Damn this is so good

Sadam Hussain once said this to the US, "سنُذلّ أمريكا كما أُذلّ الأحباش يوم الفيل." “We will humble America as the Abyssinians were humbled in the Year of the Elephant.” He did not humble the Abyssinians (Ethiopia) nor was he able to do that to the USA. But we need to remember

he says this as he creates systems that will take already employed people out of jobs.

One of the people in the Frankfurt School, Theodore Adorno, had a book explaining exactly this. How pop music is a form that came from decaying classical music, and that each successive forms of pop were more and more decayed forms. It's titled "Intro to sociology of music".

Habibi come to Ethiopia😂😂😂 As someone who grew up getting spanked like this, I say it is actually a good way to raise kids. It teaches them to respect people, know their place, and behave well consciously, learn how the world really works, and have thick skin (no pun).
