Discussion How Morocco Stays Stable While Other Countries Collapse

Post image
91 Upvotes

I have this weird theory/idea that came to me while I was literally sitting alone at home
Imagine you have one cow that you depend on for almost everything: food, milk, money, your family’s livelihood, even companionship. You’ve had it for years, you know it, you’re used to it, and you’ve basically built part of your life around it.
Even if you eventually own a whole barn full of cows, you probably wouldn’t just get rid of that first cow. Maybe it’s not the most profitable one anymore, but it has something the others don’t: history, familiarity, and accumulated value.
And even if you start experimenting with different ways of feeding it, treating it, raising it, etc., you still have an interest in keeping it alive.
Then I started thinking:
What if Morocco is that cow?
Morocco has a strategic location, natural resources, access to the Atlantic and Mediterranean, proximity to Europe, connections with Africa and the Arab world, tourism, agriculture, etc. Yet sometimes it feels like we act as if we have nothing and everything has to come from somewhere else.
And then I wondered:
Why has Morocco, compared with many other African countries, remained relatively stable despite everything happening around it?
Could part of the explanation simply be that Morocco’s stability is also valuable to other countries, so different actors have an interest in keeping that stability?
And maybe Morocco is also something of a “laboratory” where different foreign investments, economic models, technologies and ideas are tested or introduced.
I’m not saying this is true or that there’s some grand conspiracy. It’s just a thought experiment.
Does this analogy make any sense, or did I just spend too much time alone at home thinking about cows?

So today I was training in a park and some girls came to me, being all noisy and loud telling me "khouya 3lax katrini maghaynf3k fwalo hadxi rak aslan ghatmout, aji tchreb me3ana ghats7a7", and I was just staring at them.

I genuinely never thought that these kinds of retards existed, but how can ppl in general be so dumb and waste their limited time on earth doing bullshit and screwing their lives around?

(P.S: they weren't joking at all for anyone wondering, faces looking as serious as a monk statue)

Discussion Moroccans nowadays are trolling the king in every way imaginable except by using his name directly.

4 Upvotes

Moroccans nowadays are trolling the king through nicknames, metaphors and indirect references to talk about the social and economic problems they face, while avoiding mentioning him by name.

And that says a lot. When people feel they have to disguise who they are criticizing because they fear legal consequences, it raises serious questions about freedom of expression. Instead of addressing why people are frustrated, the space for expressing that frustration seems to be getting narrower.

Even former justice minister abdellatif wahbi recently called social media the “disaster of our time” and argued for stricter laws against defamation and attacks on people’s dignity. The question is: where do we draw the line between protecting people from defamation and protecting citizens’ right to criticize those who hold power ?

المغاربة وصلو لواحد المستوى جديد فالتعبير على مشاكلهم الاجتماعية والاقتصادية: عوض ما يذكرو الملك بالاسم ولات عندهم لائحة كاملة ديال الأسماء المشفرة : محمد صلاح، ملك الجليد، مسدس الحامد، محمد للي كيقرا في السادس، السيلونسيو....

وهنا خاصنا نسولو راسنا علاش المواطن كيلجأ للتلميحات والأسماء المستعارة باش ينتاقد أعلى سلطة فالبلاد ؟

المواطن مع الاسف كيحس براسو خاصو يقلب على ألف طريقة باش يوصل انتقاده بلا ما يذكر الاسم مباشرة حيت كيخاف من العواقب وحيت عارف ماكيناش شي حاجة سميتها حرية التعبير.

وزيد عليها النقاش اللي ولى كيدور مؤخرا على تشديد القوانين المتعلقة بمواقع التواصل الاجتماعي. وزير العدل السابق عبد الطيف وهبي خرج بتصريح كيقول فيه ان وصائل التواصل الاجتماعي ولات مصيبة ااعصر وبللي خاص فرض نصوص قانونية صارمة لمنع التشهير وحماية أعراض المغاربة وكرامتهم. ولكن حنا عارفين بللي غادي يخرجو قوانين غير باش يسكتو الناس في مواقع التواصل الاجتماعي عن طريق القمع وتحت غطاء حماية اعراض الناس وكرامتهم. وباش يسدو على الناس في مواقع التواصل حرية انتقاج المسؤولين والسياسات والسلطة. ولكن المغاربة ديما غايلقاو شي تخريجة

Discussion The Ring of Gyges (Plato's Ring)

Post image
5 Upvotes

​

Context:​ In Plato's Republic, a shepherd finds a ring that grants him total invisibility. Free from the fear of social consequences, punishment, or getting caught, he uses the power to depose the king and take over the kingdom.

If you could do anything and be completely certain you would never get caught or face consequences, would you still act morally? Is morality purely a social construct built out of fear of punishment?

Society This new website aims to create a new way for the Moroccan diaspora to improve Morocco by submitting ideas.

6 Upvotes

I was sent this website, and I think it’s one of the best projects I’ve seen in months. It’s a platform where the Moroccan diaspora living in developed countries and societies can easily submit ideas on any topic for future implementation in Morocco. These ideas are compiled into documents to be sent to the Moroccan government and forwarded to the relevant ministries; if an idea is significant, it could be incorporated into official programs for implementation. What do you think? The website is called Fikramre.

Discussion Do you do any type of sports or any physical work?

2 Upvotes

Hi,

I'm 21M, I'm still studying and I'm usually setting the whole day studying or playing or watching...etc.

I don't do much physical work, I don't play sports (rarely) but I do walk. Sometimes I walk around 40 minutes with music on in night around the city.

I also do push ups sometimes at night when I'm back home (I can do 25-30 push ups now) but I don't practice any other muscle workout.

Is that good enough or what should I do?

What do you do for moving your body and to try to keep your body good?

I wanna my body be a little bit healthy and in good shape.

Gaming Looking for people to play League of Legends with

4 Upvotes

My friends and I like to play flex in League of Legends but nowadays we're often missing 1-2 people to make up a party of 5, so we're looking to extend the circle.

The idea is to have a small league-related Discord server (5 to 10 people) so that we can often quickly set up a 5-man party.

We're all guys in our late 20s, based in Morocco and Europe. We can have dry humour but we don't tolerate toxicity.

We're looking for people over 23 and we're also hoping to have a bit more diversity in the group, so girls and LGBTQ+ people are very welcome. That said, the main thing is finding people we actually get along with.

And although League is the main reason for the server, it doesn't have to be a League-only group. If we end up enjoying each other's company, we're very happy to play other games together too.

Roles-wise we're ideally looking for people who can play mid, adc and support, and are anywhere between high gold and diamond. We like to play to win but we don't take the game that seriously.

We communicate in darija so that's why I'm posting here and not in some league-related subreddit.
