My fav part is "this isn't going to get political" then "SA is degenerate" and "Roving gangs of Marxists are killing people"
Not to get political but this country is filled with people who shove bones through their noses and shout unga booga
I have to live in the same country with people that think like this.
:xi-plz: South Africa begs for mercy
Reactionaries will tell you that racism is something that is really bad that we can all agree is wrong. But whenever you point to any concrete manifestation of racism that touches their own prejudice or material interest they will have a million good reasons for why that thing is not racism but rather "the free market", "common sense" or whatever bullshit they conjure up to avoid questioning their own beliefs.
"Due to systemic nepotism, there are math teachers that don't know what square roots are, army officers that can't read, and cops that have never fired a gun."
Imagine being American and thinking you're any different than what you wrote there about SA
right?
Of all things, that seems to be a positive, not a negative.
But clearly this person just wants Rhodesian death squads out there pulling triggers America style without repercussions, so it's all very transparent and telling of the poster.
It's not even true the South African police abuse their power, including firearms usage. and are xenophobic as fuck. We literally had a police minister that said the police should shoot to kill more often. ACAB is ACAB for a reason.
Except that policing has always been the violent subjugation of the underclasses. If we had someone dedicated to conflict resolution they wouldn't be a cop they'd be a social worker
You can post all the shit in that thread, but saying that John Brown did nothing wrong is over the line.
:JB-shining-aggro:
slaveowners getting dead was good, is good, and should happen more often
A slaver's life slowly draining from his eyes as he bleeds out and chokes to death on his own viscera is a legitimately hilarious thing.
Person is a far right Amerikkkan "historian" apparently. Seriously fuck all of this.
No one even called it Rohdesia, that’s Zimbabwe
I don’t agree with Mugabe much, but uncritical support in his pissing off of Rohdieboos
his name is also the crazed crusader, like, its so blatant you'd think its a bit, but its not
Any discussion of South Africa on reddit always ends up like this. So fucking depressing how ingrained the racism and apartheid era lies are
Holy shit it's so fucking racist. So many people spreading the "white genocide" far right lie. Just to give everyone an idea, there were around 60 farm murders in the entirety of last year. On average, there are 60 murders a day in South Africa

Lol at this racist prick, but the ANC is bad news and South Africa needs a communist movement stat
I mean yeah the modern ANC leadership sold out and is solidly neoliberal, the current president (Cyril Ramaphosa) used to own McDonald's South Africa and was a key shareholder involved in the Marikana massacre. South Africa also just got another IMF loan. It's still 100 times better than apartheid of course. I'll be sure to use my ANTIFA Super Soldier status to start a communist revolution stat, I just need more Sorosbucks
key shareholder involved in the Marikana massacre
Didn’t know that :agony-deep:
It's so fucking bleak here I swear.

Basing my investment strategy on the idea that only white people can run the government.
A few choice bits:
The government funded and targeted genocide of whites for one
317 points, 3x awards.
reddit literally enforces that, it's against the reddit rules to insult any group except whites, or even to report on crimes committed by any group except whites.
reddit is literally a marxist anti white propaganda website."

So he's fine crashing their economy cuz the governments bad? Amazing. Definitely the moral action to take lol.
Huh? The state of South Africa is not an epic redditor last time I checked.
IMF gang gang
Edit: sad to say it, but that’s who they are up against. You don’t, under any circumstances, have to hand it to the IMF
