After the jailing of Jacob Zuma, supporters of the former president took to the streets, ostensibly to protest but actually to simply plunder at will. The official death toll already runs into the dozens, but in a country as violent as South Africa (57 murders a day) the real toll will likely never be known for certain.

Yeah, I met some folk who fled from the collapse they say coming there. That was in '95, so they got out in plenty of time. What with the ongoing murders of white farmers etc, it's been an exceedingly dangerous place to be for a couple decades now.
ReplyDeleteHopefully the collapse is thorough enough that someone goes and supresses the natives again. (As it was explained to me, it's wrong to think about them as simply "black." They're still extremely tribal - a law that was passed requiring employers to hire the relatives of the black people they employ (to avoid fights) shows this quite clearly.
A group of tribes that invented "necklacing" isn't civilized enough to be part of our society. This is also why apartheid existed - one bathroom for people who want to use a toilet, and another for people who want to shit in the corner.
Not sayin' they can't progress, but it does show that slavery (or at least complete and utter oppression) is a quicker way, generationally, to civilize primitives than letting them maintain their existing social structures. American blacks, despite the disparities they live with in regards to violent crime etc., are still MILES ahead of the South African natives!
It just now struck me that Africa never invented their version of the wheel, but they use a western invention to torture and kill.
ReplyDeleteI hope 'humanitarian' aid isn't sent down there to feed the rioters. Let them starve.
Let Africa do what Africa does best.
My sympathies to the White South Afrikaners.
"It just now struck me that Africa never invented their version of the wheel"
DeleteEgyptian charioteers would be surprised to learn of your theory.
I stand corrected, the wheel was definitely in use in ancient Egypt, though it's use only spread to isolated areas. Chariot wheels were never used for necklacing, however.
DeleteRubber was 'discovered' in the Congo around 1891.
The first occurrence of necklacing in South Africa was July 20, 1985.
Necklacing was used in the early 1960's in the Sri Lankan Civil War.
Why would such an 'advanced' race need outside aid. Starve or die of thirst. You pick.
DeleteRead Kim du Toit’s take on Africa at large at https://www.kimdutoit.com/2017/05/05/let-africa-sink/ to get the proper perspective. Tends to be congruent with Mr Gilmore’s commentary above.
ReplyDeleteSouth Africa was once a thriving country, high standard of living and things like electricity and water worked as expected. Unfortunately hollyweird and other busybody know nothings got involved and fucked things up like they always do. Now don't misunderstand I am not saying one group should be rulers of another but the country was a more stable, productive and safer place before the busy bodies.
ReplyDeleteIt's a damn shame how it's turning out.

And Ypipo in the West led the charge against the Ypipo in South Africa, just like they did against the ones in Rhodesia. Same thing will happen here.
DeleteI was there in the mid 2000s. Lots of parallels to where we are now.
ReplyDeleteCompanies were actively hiring and promoting (or not promoting) based on race. You could see manufacturing being hurt by the skill drain. Service industries too. Lots of stupid truck accidents on the road. People who could get out were getting out.
Urban areas had gigantic squatters camps mostly of people from worse off parts of Africa. Without any real prospects for livelihood that meant theft, robbery, stealing cables, manhole covers, etc.
Guns were being heavily restricted. People were having to get rid of old surplus SMLEs and shotguns. If you were robbed and tried to defend yourself you were probably arrested when the police arrived.
Police were demoralized. Suicide among officers was common (actual or Epstein, I don’t know) this meant the officers that stayed were likely corrupt; little more than gangsters for their political bosses. They hadn’t gone full cartel yet, but you could feel it coming.
Rather than trying to fix the problems apartheid caused, people were effectively reversing it. When that didn’t bring the wealth they wanted politicians moved on to punishment. They’ve now effectively salted the fields for at least a couple generations. Probably many more than that.
I don’t know for sure where the tipping point was, but I fear we are looking at one ourselves. Whatever plans you have, have some backup plans, have some friends, and make sure they have plans and backup plans too. It could be ugly.

Notice how almost all (not naming any names) those 'anti-apartheid' campaigners/activists now live in the US?
ReplyDeleteIt's almost as if they knew all along what the result would be, and yet still did it anyway (and still brag about it).
Sub-Saharan Africa is Sub-Saharan Africa because it's full of Sub-Saharan Africans
