Is it causality or just correlation?

IZAK VISSER WRITES:Something has been bothering me, and I would assume a lot of fellow Namibians for a while now.In school we were taught that we're Namibians, and that we live in the (independent, democratic) Republic of Namibia.A republic is defined as a form of government in which the position of power is held by the people and their elected representatives.I just feel that for a long time this has not been the case.How is it possible for the vox populi to want 30% unemployment?How is it possible for the vox populi to want their infrastructure to be owned by Sino-imperialists?How is it possible that we as a nation have forgotten our history to the extent where we are blind to the systematic corruption of our elected officials? Or have we become so used to it as the norm that we just accept it as “one of those things”?Maybe I am just venting my frustrations, but I do not understand how a superpower who is known for the fact that they trap third world countries with development loans etc. can operate with impunity here. How can we justify trusting the very people that are directly responsible for this pandemic to have our best interests as a nation at heart?How can we trust a party (CCP) that has literally been caught red handed spying on the African Union? Notably the very same people that have built pretty much all our government offices? This just leads to more questions...Like “If they have access to our government communications, would that not explain why they have seemingly received all the infrastructure tenders by underquoting the local providers? Is it possible that the CCP crashed our building industry via economic espionage?I am trying very hard to not see causality where there is likely just correlation.I am trying very hard to put my faith in our elected leaders, even though it feels like they are absent.I am trying very hard, like everyone else, to find a glimmer of hope and purpose in a world where there is naught but smoke, mirrors and immorality.I thank you for your time and for your consideration.
