The big "Der Spiegel" feature on South Africa (which is as good as everyone says) marvels at hearing a black South African express nostalgia for apartheid when at least the country worked, etc., but if you look at polling it's not that unusual. https://t.co/GGXKUucMAA pic.twitter.com/AgdYTRiObl

It was impossible NOT to hear black Zimbabweans express nostalgia for Rhodesia. For working class black Zimbabweans, life was indeed better in many ways in Rhodesia....higher wages, lower costs, better social services (at least in urban areas), etc..... The primary beneficiaries of majority rule were the new socio-political elites ushered in with the Zanu-led government.Redbrickbear said:The big "Der Spiegel" feature on South Africa (which is as good as everyone says) marvels at hearing a black South African express nostalgia for apartheid when at least the country worked, etc., but if you look at polling it's not that unusual. https://t.co/GGXKUucMAA pic.twitter.com/AgdYTRiObl

It's taken South Africa over a decade longer to fall apart than it did in Zimbabwe. The big difference between the two seems to be that in Zim, the unrest mostly occurred in rural areas, the farms. In South Africa, there seems to be a lot more urban component to the dynamic. There are reasons for that - Rhodesia was an agriculture led economy, while RSA had a far larger industrial base. But I wouldn't over-apply that observation. Racial tensions are the true driving force, and by any measure, they were/are worse in SA than they were in Zim. It was palpable back in the day....
They really are. They are just a mafia like organization that engages in lawfare and shakedown tactics to extort money from companies. They actually have way too much power and they need to be shut down along with the SPLC.Jack Bauer said:

There are at least 10 cities in the United States where it pays to be constantly armed.
And its only getting worse.

Said they felt far safer in the bush than in the cities.

1/ At a South African university, an argument is made to eliminate science from study because it's a "product of Western modernity."
"We have to restart science from an African perspective."
As an example, the speaker suggests "Black magic."https://t.co/nTHSkm4HHW

So now, is there a single "non-****hole" country in Africa...Egypt maybe?
If someone put a gun to my head and forced me to go live in mainland Africa, Ethiopia would be the easy winner. If I was given the additional choice of Indian ocean islands probably Mauritius or the Seychelles just because there would be a good bit of ocean separating me from the rest of mainland Africa.
But given current events I increasingly look at whether a place has an ancient Christian culture that has survived or been re-embraced as the primary screening tool for such things. Nepal and Thailand might be the two exceptions to that rule.
The U.S. should put sanctions on South Africa for racially discriminating against an ethnic minority.

I think this was the only white illegal alien I saw on the border in Lukeville, Arizona. Border Patrol agents told me he was from South Africa. Apparently that’s his son with him. Must be bad in South Africa if white people are coming here illegally. pic.twitter.com/10Ro2GXdhu
