From the comments of the OP, warning immense racism
Which part are you referring to exactly? The world did view apartheid in that manner, no argument there. History says these men were on the wrong side. Although the military and political landscape is quite vast. Let's for argument's sake say what one person's experience was true, that he farmed in Namibia for the SADF in attempts to win hearts and minds, did his mandatory service automatically make him a racist? Surely not. As long as targets were military most of the time and in line with the greater goals of keeping communist states disorganized and supporting indigenous resistance, it would be quite hard to label military motives as racist.
:what-the-hell: :fidel-wut: :wut:
Also feel free to brigade that shithole subreddit as much as you want. I think I’m still banned for being anti NATO.
"they were from diverse backgrounds, regions, and countries such as"
proceeds to list a bunch of countries with white people
Diverse backgrounds, regions such as US, Britain, Italy, Western and Eastern Europe
:lmayo:
"I'm 1/16 Irish, 1/8 Welsh, 1/8 French, 1/16 Russian, and 1/32 Cherokee"
-Dudes named things like Tanner Mulligan who live in Kansas
1/32 Cherokee
This shit drives me fucking insane. I got an ancestry test done and I have like 30-40ish percent indigenous heritage (and it fucking visibly shows, like with a lot of Latin American descent) and then you have white as snow people talking about how their great great great grandfathers cousins 2nd wife boned some guy who was like two generations removed from a half indigenous person so therefore I can be racist.
The worst parts is I've heard people say this all the time, it's not even a meme.
even the good liberals all have cherokee princess grandmothers
I'm an eighth Cuban and eighth Jamaican and I don't think it's worth mentioning until a white person asks me "What are you?"
What is wrong with people?
Literally all white people lmao. Just a bunch of Europeans and white Latinos, which have European ancestry. But that's diverse by :lmayo: South African standards I guess.
No, by "indigenous resistance movements", they mean the guys the CIA funded to oppose the MPLA.
Yes that's a true story, their other comments say that the apartheid military can't be racist because they had black anti-communist volunteers.
Chuds love to play devils advocate in the most absurd of ways.
:soviet-hmm:

Very important that we validate the lived experiences of... uh...

Asking for Gal Gadot
it would be quite hard to label military motives as racist.
Honestly don't even know where to begin
Also the post is about foreign volunteers, not conscripts. It's so different that you can't even begin to compare, yet that's exactly what the comment does.

Has this motherfucker ever heard of the Holocaust? Or even the literal concentration camps Britain held these very people's ancestors in during the Boer War?
These neckbeard Apartheid era SA and Rhodesia stans need to get shoved in a locker.
Just remind them that Rhodesia is dead whenever they start.
The :cope: they'll produce is incredible
Only if the locker is located in the Balkans, points into the ground, and is several hundred feet deep. :pit:

:pit: : "Um, actually, they were just fighting against communism!"
Makes you wonder why the brave defenders of all that is good against Gommunism always find themselves on the side of Apartheid regimes and colonial empires.
Anti communism being inherently linked to fascism? No ways!
There was a quote from I can't remember who which goes something like "Communism is bad, but anticommunism is far worse". Obviously from a lib but it got me thinking back in my younger days...
Look, a bunch of talentless murderers who smell like baboons! The Spitting Image song doesn't miss.
There's definitely some actual South Africans in there unfortunately.
Though the western larpers go up everytime there's a popular post
