34 years after Apartheid ended in South Africa, Blacks are having second thoughts

[JGalt]

All the protests by the progressives, the boycotts, and concerts and benefits, and today South Africa is far worse off than they were in 1989.

"Imagine watching this video as a progressive. How are you supposed to understand this? Literally nothing in your framework. Your entire understanding of historical narrative has no explanation for this result..."

They've eaten or run off most of the afrikaaners now so ...pffft.

Who is so stupid that they couldn't predict this?

Now that would be worth our paying for. But they must also forever renounce their U.S. citizenship.

South Africa Nears an Ignoble Record: 100 Days of Blackouts

A state-run power company, what could possibly go wrong? And who do you call then to complain? Socialism is on full display. South Africa is nearing 100 consecutive days of rolling blackouts, the longest stretch yet, with more to come as its electricity crisis deepens. Eskom Holdings SOC...

A lot of south Africans begged the white farmers to come back.
The white South Africans showed the blacks how to farm large plots of land yet they fell back on subsistence farming.
Oh well...fuck em let em starve.

 

[Tommy Tainant]

Yes. people want to be slaves. Dickhead.

Sure, we could renounce our citizenship. And the American Blacks should forever forbid the exportation of Africa's natural resources and minerals to any Western society OR the USA. There would be:
1) No cobalt for cell phones, laptops, etc.
2) No cocoa beans to make chocolate.
3) No uranium for any kind of nuclear power use.
4) Less lithium to make electric car batteries.
5) No diamonds for industrial or personal use.
6) Less platinum, gold and other precious metals.

And the biggest, most important issue: Force the USA to get their military bases out of Africa. ALL of them--- I hear there are more than 20 US military bases in Africa.
Now, who do you think would be hurting the most?

From 5 years ago, long article here is a snip.

Just look at what Zimbabwe recently went through. It forcibly evicted 250,000 Europeans, and stole almost all their property. There are only about 5,000 Europeans left there now. I was last there a couple of years ago. The place now produces nothing but people and political agitation. It used to be the breadbasket of Africa. Now it’s going back to bush.

You’d think South Africans would say, “Geez, that country’s economy was totally destroyed by politics and envy. That wasn’t a good idea; we ought to act more intelligently.”

But they’re doing the opposite. They’ve announced a plan to confiscate, without compensation, all the white-owned land. They started with two game farms a few weeks ago. Everything will be distributed to cronies of the President and his ministers. Then, having evicted the two white tribes—the Afrikaners and the British—the remaining nine black tribes will start fighting over everything.

Why is this? Is it because South African blacks are that stupid? I thought about it, and the answer is “no.” They actually view what happened in Zimbabwe as a success.

Justin: Why do you think that is?

Doug: The blacks went from owning, say, 10% of the country’s wealth to now owning, say, 99%. That looked pretty good. The fact the absolute amount of wealth fell by perhaps 75% is irrelevant to them.

It’s a different way of looking at things. No black in South Africa thinks Zimbabwe made a mistake. They consider getting rid of the white people a triumph.

This is obviously racist. But Africa is probably the most racist place on the planet. Most people in Europe and the US either don’t know this or, if they do, they’d never admit it.

Frankly, it amazes me that so many Americans have programmed themselves to feel “white guilt.” Anyone who’s traveled knows that Europe and the US are the least racist societies on the planet.

But all the races are “racist,” to be candid. It’s genetically programmed into humans to fear alien groups. It’s a result of the competition for scarce resources, over millions of years of evolution. Racism may be unsavory, but it’s entirely natural. The only solution is to view people as individuals, first and foremost. Looking for political solutions against racism only makes things worse, not better.

Justin: How could what’s happening in South Africa impact the rest of Africa?

Doug: Well, South Africa has always been the workshop of the continent. Basically, anything industrial that’s ever happened in Africa has come out of South Africa.

But the future looks grim. There are only four million whites left in South Africa. And the smart ones are going to make the chicken run and get out. It’s “unfair,” of course, because the Afrikaners were there only slightly after the Bantus, who came down from the north as the Europeans arrived by boat. The big losers are actually the original inhabitants, the Hottentots (now called the Khoisan).

When the Europeans do leave, they’ll take their education, work ethic, and culture with them. After the two white tribes leave, the nine major black tribes will fight over the spoils. The best case possibility is that South Africa—or Azania, as some politicized blacks like to call it—will break up into several new entities.

They’re already confiscating white farms in South Africa. And what will happen with those farms? They’ll be destroyed and go back to the bush just like they did in Zimbabwe. Modern farming is a very high-tech, management-intensive business.

So, I’m very pessimistic about the future in Africa.

Justin: The Chinese obviously have a lot of skin in the game in Africa. Don’t they have an incentive to erect infrastructure that will support their interests? Or should the African people be making these investments?

Doug: The investment should come from Africans. But that’s unlikely for reasons I’ve already mentioned.
