Somalinet and Qabyaalad

Post by Turbulence »

I am curious. Would you say Somalinet or other sites like it made you more of a clanist/hateful over the years towards your fellow Somalis before you were exposed to them?

Yes, it has even gotten to the point where I neglect my studies to karbash someone.

Yes. It made me more qabilisit before I was exposed to them. However, my experience is like a concave down curve. Eventually after I spent more time in these sites and dived deeper and understood Somalis better I became less clanist.

The initial increase in qabilism is attributed to me knowing things I never knew before which shook my principles and ideas I had about the somali people. I grew up knowing 0 about qabiil issues and it wasn't a topic brought up or discussed in the house. I only knew my basic abtirsi and so all the fkd and the ugly history was eye opening for me.

It has made me less truthfully. I have become exposed to other's points of views and perspectives at an intimate level I wouldn't have otherwise within the Somali political situation. That exposure has contributed to my perspective becoming more complicated and nuanced than previously when I was just aware of my point of view.

Nope i had crash course in qabyaalad back in my high school. Used to live in a small town with 90 percent darood when it comes to somalis in that town. I was shocked when this cagdheer retard with no chill threw my clan under the bus at one stage during social studies when the white teacher asked him out of curiosity about Somalia. They are taught young. To this day am still shocked.

I apply the simple logic of "if everyone hates me, i hate them all, but if everyone hates each other, then i hate no one".

You know some of the most naturally light pigmented faradheer Somalis I have seen happened to have been HG/Cayr. I am not even talking post-civil war generation Somalis but older.

Somalinet has made me much more tribalistic.

Growing up when I used to look at maps I'd wish one day it'd say "Gulf of Berbera" instead of "Gulf of Aden".
In any YouTube talking about history I'd be very happy when the HOA was marked with Somalia or if they spoke/reffered to it as the "Somali coast". After Somalinet I'm trashing "Benadir state" and telling Hawiye they can't claim Benadir history or being Benadiri.

It's made me a lot less hateful though, I used to beef a lot with Ethiopians and Kenyans on Reddit. Nowadays I'm a lot more reconcilitary and peaceful.

The Most lightskinned somalis have seen happened to be Hawiye or related to them Xawaadle, Saraansor ((Gaaljecel, Dagoodi and Ajuuraan) including Jajeele.

I remember once visiting Kenya and running into dozens of Dagoodi Suju and visited areas they settled in by accident I was stunned by the beauty of these people. As a male I was obvioiusly attracted to the females they had height and beauty inclunding the most lightskinned somalis which trumps Xawaadle, Saraansor and Gaaljecel. I have also visited the Ogdeen regions but they have nothing in comparison. Dagoodi resemble more like Amxarro in the light complexion where as the Ogdeen resemble Oromo including their facial features Dagoodi resemble the Amaxarro if they don't speak with you in suju dialect you would assume they are ethiopian
