This really does make my blood boil.Typical bullshit from an overprivileged imbecile, it's easy to romanticise "Africa" when you're there as a rich white tourist when the average people there have no access to basic amenities and can't feed, educate or medicate their children.
This overprivileged imbecile doesn't have a soul. He has an over-romanticised narrative about himself and his exploitation of Africa that he tries very hard to sell us.
Instead of a soul, he is the living, breathing Heart of Darkness which Joseph Conrad so powerfully wrote about in his 1899 novel of that name.
Haz IS Kurtz, the white deranged imperialist who set himself up in the Congo to dominate and exploit the 'savages' and the animals. Kurtz was an ivory trader with a trading station where he makes the natives worship him and has them savagely decapitated when they don't comply with his orders.
In a short paragraph I can't do justice to this harrowing story based on a real life character. It's an almost traumatising read about imperialism, colonialism, the white man taking charge and 'doing good' to the black "brutes" who should be "exterminated" if they step out of line and don't obey the self-exalted white man...who, in truth is no better than those he enslaves.
Instead of ivory, under the guise of 'saving the animals and the eco-system' (for what? for whom? Obviously not the local people) Haz culls international kudos for his white man's colonialist appropriation and exploitation of, again, the Congo, its people and animals.
Yet again, it's raw power disguised as altruism, dominating and using the most vulnerable.
He couldn't give a tit about how many people who live there are raped, maimed and killed by HIS agents who are under HIS control as the President, now board member, of his 'Africa Parks' colonies.
And, of course, we already know he suffers from a large degree of derangement.
The more things change, the more they stay the same.
In the 21st century, I have no idea what rationale overprivileged white men have for setting themselves up as latter day chiefs in charge of vast tracts of the Congo and Africa.
But I'm certain that Heart of Darkness is exactly the right way to describe what Haz and his ilk have instead of souls.
