ER Forum: A Past Time For A Few Killil Schadenfreude & Epicaricacy Cadres

Post by Amayah » 11 Apr 2022, 15:55

The English language does not have a word for 'ምቀኛ' so the German word is schadenfreude (ሻዲንፍሮይዳ) and the Greek word is epicaricacy (ኤፒካሪካሲ) - both mean rejoicing and getting pleasure from the suffering & misfortunes of others. This is called ምቀኝነት and this Forum is full of it. It is toxic and sickening :shock:

We may not see eye to eye on issues but I agree with your assessment of this forum.

A lady from the aristocracy of Hailesilaasie heard the student movement ushered in “Communism” and she asked “what’s communism?” And her friend told her Communism is “ምቀኝነት” and the lady said “ታዲያ ወደ ሀገሩ ነዋ የገባው” አሉ አሉ. :lol:

The issue with the mentality of the highlanders in contrast to the Galla and South is a difference of night and day. Cost/benefit analysis comes next to vengeance and win-lose paradigm. Most other world functions on political paradigm of win-win based on national interest of the people. Almost uniquely the highlanders of Eritrea, Tigray and Amhara function on not on the common good of you and me, but “I win but you have to lose!”

Think of the Badme war for that land and the 20 years after that. Instead of Tigray using Eritrean ports and Eritrea making business of it, the highlander vengeance mentality (lose-lose) kept both peoples losing irreversible gains that their peoples will not ever recover.

Think of the TPLF warmongering and what it cost all in the region - destroying schools and clinics and factories as if that was a sign of victory. Imagine schools and clinics?! OMG!

Also look at us! You and me! Look at the discussions in this forum and the reflection of that backward, uncivilized and ignorant mentality that shaped our upbringing. “I have to win but you have to lose!”

The reflection of the mentality of the Galla and South in the political polity of the country is a good contribution to the country as the highlanders’ vengeance mentality is unbecoming to the modern government system.

This is not about being critical to you or anyone. It is food for thought on how the mentality we inherited is damaging and unhealthy.

It’s more than economic problem that is making us bad for the sake of being bad because not everyone in the world is rich or well to do.

Cadre

In English, it's only Ethiopians that you hear it from, no one else, and I believe this is the only legacy Communism has left behind in Ethiopia!

The Badme war is not the only example of 'win-lose' (or lose-lose) game theory in Ethiopia. Lose-lose is an example of ምቀኝነት theory. What about the current war between TPLF & the Fed? What about the war between Shene and the Fed? What about the Killil against killil war for land and resources? I would be less inclined to generalize these as being 'north v. south' mentalities.

Theory of evolution now has two contending foundational principles - one view holds that evolution is driven by the struggle for survival and survival of the fittest which is the basis of 'win-lose' game model and a second view holds that evolution is driven by the cooperation and winners being those that cooperate the most which is the basis of 'win-win' game theory.

Which model is more successful is a matter of empirical evaluation. In our case the real culprit is the postmodern critical theory of identity politics and ethnic existentialism. As the saying goes, bad theory is rectified by good practice. Soon one of the two views will win out or both might turn out to be true. In any case, I find no fundamental objectively verifiable psychological differences between the people of northern and southern Ethiopia - both of them are victims of identity politics and zero-sum game.

Here comes another agame putting every body in the same basket.
As Eritreans we are not competing with any body. We want to live in peace if possible with our neighbors if not to be left the fu’ck alone to go our own way. We don’t need what is not ours and we never fought with the scum bags previous Ethiopian leaders just to say we won and they lost. One can not loose what one had not to begin with.
We fought to just free our country not to get a gold medal as winners and any Ethiopian should not feel they lost either unless they are stupid and want to subjugate us with the help of their masters.
And this mother fu’cker have nerves to mention Badime too. Whose is Badime? Why were you agames squatting for over 2 decades in our territories?
Like I said above we didn’t win Badime either. We got it back because it is legally ours.
So, stop putting Eritreans with you agames who are stuck on winning at any cost and for things which is not yours.
That is funfunat agames traits and trying to win regardless of what is right or wrong is why you are destroyed and will be in miseries and suffering for centuries to come.
Other than that bring a single freaking fight we did just to win which doesn’t belong to us.
Again, it is your agames and some stupid Ethiopians characters who have such stupid attitude.
You all tried all the bull crap and failed miserably and still harbor such failed sh’it to get different result.
Why don’t you try respecting every body and work hard for the benefit of all the citizens of both countries?
Dissecting your brains tells us (at least so far) you don’t want to see Eritrea be at peace and develop even if such endeavor benefits you.
Man, face it. You funfunat agames have such trait and sadly there are also stupid genuine Ethiopians.
Now not that we want to WIN, because we fought and got what is ours, but yes you are correct that we detest you funfunat agames and we will make your generation to come lives more miserable than what is now.
That is not WINNING. That is called REVENGE for the unforgivable crimes you ungrateful agames committed on the Eritrean people when you were in power for 27 years.
Yes riding your white masters you dragged us probable 50 years back and we won’t sleep until we drag you filthy agames 3 centuries backwards.
By the way, what is your real agame nick of this site?
It is the shame, lie and deceit (good to feel shame at last) which is making you cowards, evil,funfunat agames to change nicks.
Do, stick to you agames and your master Ethiopians win, lose games. We have nothing to do with it. Our record is clear that the ethnicity crap is not going to help you. That is an observation and opinion. What you do is your freaking business. Stop accusing us as if we are hand twisting you to do what we say.

The Ascari syndrome illness ( as detailed below) is one of the drivers of problems in the Horn of Africa. Eritrea has been infected by this illness since it's inception during the Italians .

Identity crises : Sandwiched between the memory of Italian spaghatti , their ghetto( ከምፑሽታቶ) and the kalcho of their masters and the thousands years proud history of the free Ethiopia.

- Obsessed to create forged and poached history to satisfy their hunger for a unique identity.
- Have become wild cat, never to be re-domesticated.
- They live in the past in the memory of Italy-Asmara ፃኧዳ፥
- Filled with excessive hatred and jealousy. The root cause of the jealousy started when Tigrayans migrated to Italy Asmara and outshined the unsophisticated and lazy ascari in hard work & entrepreneurship.
- Mercenary and Banda: Mercenary for Turkey, Egypt, Italia ( two times, the 1st in the 19th century and 20th century) and now for Abiy and Amhara extremists

- Shallow, easy going, lier and a habit of betrayal
- Externalization of their self inflicted problems and victim mindset.
- Restless, emotional, inflated ego, confrontational and boastful
- Narcissist , destructive & mafia like - On themselves ( they shoot their own feet) and also export destruction.

- Waste their time looking over the fence and envying at the green field of their neighbors and talking about others instead of minding their business and building their country. Ascari have no history of building a nation , building and running a successful company and no constitution. Historically they have been ruled by Tigrayans from the South of Mereb.

- They think they can easily manipulate Ethiopians except the Tigrayans. Ascari are too scared of the Tigrayans as they think they are too sophisticated in thinking and indiscernible. They call it "ልቢ፥ ትግራይ...."

As a summary ascari suffer from "ascari syndrome" sickness deep rooted illness in their mind set and soul that requires deep therapy for healing.
