The Congo Dandies is a video about male Africans living in poverty, spending their hard-earned money on clothing pretending to be millionaires. Poverty is defined as absolute or relative. Absolute poverty refers to the lack of means necessary to meet basic needs such as food, clothing, and shelter. Relative poverty takes into consideration personal, social, and economic status compared to the rest of society.

These terms only describe the results of being poor. They do not explain the methods used to cultivate impoverished thinking. Poverty is a condition that has little to do with the lack of material possessions. But more to do with being mentally limited from psychological enslavement.

Psychological Warfare

Psychological warfare is necessary to control society by affecting their motivation and standard of living. The use of neutralizing propaganda, threats, and other emotional techniques was designed to mislead, intimidate, demoralize, or otherwise influence that culture’s thinking or behavior. Resulting in the belief that one is incapable of overcoming their present situation.

It’s called invisible violence and in ways worse than physical injury. Nations living under this stronghold fail to challenge their existing state of affairs, socially and politically, for fear of negative repercussions.

“Nelson Mandela said, he learned that courage was not the absence of fear, but the triumph over it. The brave man is not he who does not feel afraid, but he who conquers that fear.”

Fears are unpleasant emotions caused by the belief that someone or something is dangerous, likely to cause pain or a threat of torture, accomplished by promoting false propaganda portrayed in media, religion, and other literary works, designed to change your view of the world. Poverty is the result of this deception; hypocrisies forced upon a society deprived of their strength and vitality that breeds mental servitude.
