A South Africa update, and it’s not pretty

American Thinker:

In 2018, Tucker Carlson highlighted the expropriation of land from White farmers in South Africa. He stated “[a]s land seizures based on skin color shows, South Africa is once again becoming a place where an entire group of people is targeted for discrimination and violence on the basis of their skin color.”

Twenty-six years ago, “South Africans engaged in a peaceful revolution. As late as the 1980s commentators predicted that any transition from white minority domination and black majority rule would precipitate a bloody civil war. Instead, in 1994 South Africans replaced president F. W. de Klerk with Nelson Mandela in a free and fair election that astonished the world.”  Thus, “. . . South Africans of all races voted in the country’s first democratic elections, choosing Mandela as their first black president. The inhumane apartheid regime seemed to be miraculously ending peacefully, though much work remained to improve the lives of all South Africans.”  By the “late 1980s, however, South Africa’s economy was in a deep recession and large segments of the country were becoming ungovernable.”

Former president Jacob Zuma (2009-18) “brought the country a reputation for corruption and ineptitude.”  In fact, in 2018, the World Bank ranked South Africa as the most corrupt country in the world.

In 2018, Hammond and Tupy “in reviewing South Africa’s flirtation with the idea of changing its constitution to let the state expropriate farmland without compensation, wrote that South Africa need only look north to Zimbabwe to see the disastrous consequences of this kind of policy.”  Zimbabwe’s former dictator Robert Mugabe gave “the green light to his paramilitary supporters to invade commercial farms, seize some 23 million acres of land and the confiscated farms were resettled with small scale agriculturalists.  Many of the new would-be-farmers had no real knowledge of commercial agriculture and many soon returned to subsistence farming.  The actual commercial farmers left for other African countries and the result was devastating food shortages in a nation once dubbed the ‘bread basket of Africa.'”

  1. Power corrupts. Absolute power absolutely corrupts.

    Yes, I know, this has been said many times before, so will not take credit for the saying, just using it to illustrate what happened in SA.

  2. The double barrelled combination of blacks running a socialist(communist) government 100% guarantees that SA is fucked.

    The atrocities committed on out lying white farmers, sometimes by once trusted black workers, is horrific. Brutality without bounds.

    And if truth be told, it’s the white settlers from 100s of years past that tamed that land and made it a garden. The same whites that made SA a capitalist powerhouse as well. Putting all of it in the hands of ill prepared blacks will turn it back into a shithole wilderness.

    It’s well on it’s way too. Even now there are large settlements of whites forced into “housing” with no running water, open sewers or electricity.

    I’d love to see the President offer a chance for these people and the farmers if they could leave their homelands, to come here. It’s a win-win-win because I’ll tell you, you can never have enough of those kind of folks in your foxhole.

  3. You’d have to be ignorant of Mandela’s political background not to know that his bullshit would be memory holed the minute he got power.

    He did and it was.

    Communists are the same everywhere no matter their color.

  4. My only surprise is I expected a white genocide within 10 years and its taken a long, slow roll to get to where the murders are starting on a “Just like Mugabe’s Zimbabwe” level.
    I think that all the SA whites will be killed without the rest of the world helping them to get out because only “BLM”.
    That means saving people who have a white skin is so UN-PC
    that the AOC’s of the world will block any help and smile as
    they die.

  5. See if there are any similarities.

    “whose leaders have encouraged land invasions and have been accused of inciting racial hatred, and whose protests have often exploded into violence,”

    “‘We are not calling for the slaughtering of white people—at least for now.’ The populist EFF says if ever given the chance to govern, it will seize all banks, mines, and land, and dole out the wealth to impoverished black South Africans”

    “verge of collapse and set to become the next Venezuela.”

    “freedom in South Africa has been steadily declining as the government has inserted itself more and more into economic and private life.”

    “Nationalize health care, even though state hospitals are failing and private clinics offer high levels of care.”

  6. The present situation in SA was so predictable that anyone who’s head wasn’t soaked in idiotic idealism saw it coming. When a black SA president calls for the murder of whites it doesn’t take much guessing.
    Handing the government over to the SA blacks was like handing ISIS 50 tons of weaponized smallpox.

  7. Make absolutely no mistake about one thing: The self identified “progressives” are aware of what went down there and that is the template they want to apply to the United States.

    It is what they are aiming for.

    They are motivated by a compulsion to increase innocent human suffering, misery and death. Their public rhetoric is not even remotely consistent with what their programs and policies have yielded EVER. Their political philosophy has a track record that is unequivocal in what it delivers anytime and every time they have been in position to implement it. There can be no doubt that they are willing advocates of a wicked and evil worldview that is antithetical to The Good. They are hostile to The Good, they are enemies of The Good.

    The dripping hatred they proclaim for others is nothing more or less than the manifestation of their own self hatred (well deserved I might add) projected onto others. They have been indoctrinated with a sense of envy being a virtue and that manifests in their resentment of anyone who is living a joyous and happy life.

    They have freely chosen to follow a path that has reduced themselves to subhuman pieces of shit and undeserving of any respect whatsoever. Sympathy for them is completely out of the question and pity for them is not something I have in me any longer. I am indifferent to their suffering. Their suffering is self inflicted and it is well deserved.

  8. So, it is obligatory that a few million Whites in SA be killed so that our Progressives can lessen their outrage and guilt..Trump asked Pompeo , head of CIA, to study the situation regarding a possible Genocide building in SA which was obviously the first step in a possible intervention by America to stop such a holocaust…The Left here was outraged and it is obvious that they believe that millions of whites must be murdered without any attempt to stop the carnage…This outrage is proof that Progressives are sub human mass murderers at heart…why else would they be alarmed at our watching the situation…after his tweet, the leaders in SA stopped their preparations and got Religion at the possibility that the USA would intervene …but an election is near…NPR, one of many sources for expressing the need to kill millions of Whites, on August 23, 2018 , we pay them to write this, wrote a must read screed using CNN, Ramaphosa, lies, blatant disregard of facts etc to blast Trump and Tucker Carlson for responding to make believe murder of thousands of White farmers despite photographs of violent hacking of women and children to death while their father/husbands watch before execution…This, one of hundreds of similar articles mustered by the Democrats exposes the true nature of Nihilist Leftists. NPR.org actually uses propaganda and outrage to divert attention away from what they will gleefully want to see, mass murder of Whites…

  9. It has been the goal of democrats at least since 1965, when Ted Kennedy authored The immigration reform act, to make white people the minority in the US. They are well on the way, and advanced in their goal by leaps and bounds with each democrat administration since then. Once whites are the minority, the slaughter will begin in earnest.

  10. Genocide, Genocide of Whites…NPR.org 8/23/18 Tucker Carlson and Donald Trump …What Trump tweeted and why it has sparked outrage…Democrats want Genocide so that they can virtue signal…Americans will be Cancelled if they protest against the Propaganda ….remember, under Clinton, we destroyed a Christian country so that Islam could have a country that was a part of Yugoslavia…even today, the descriptions on Google of what started the conflict are unreal in their distortions…

  11. Hope everybody here stocked up on ammo. It’s gonna get rough out there. They won’t be killing you for your Nikes. They will be killing you for your can of beans.

    “…They will be killing you for your can of beans.”

    …no, they’ll be killing you for the color of your skin.

    …THEN they’ll take your beans…

  13. …the Hatians killed all the White people by 1799, which is still signified in the modern Hatian flag that was created when Toussaint L’Ouverture symbolically ripped the White stripe out of the French flag and had the remainder sewn back together.

    It’s been 221 years.

    …how’d that work out for them?

    Ya beat me to it.
    South Africa flourished under white rule.
    All of Africa has been propped up by the guilt of the white man.
    If left alone, the black race would probably go the way of the dinosaur, but we continue to send food, and they continue to over breed.
    I know I’m an asshole for saying it, but it’s time someone did.

  15. South Africans were out of their minds giving up control of their nation to the idiots who ran it into the ground: the democrats of Africa. What they should have done – and what America should do – is they should have simply divided the nation into SA West and SA East. Whatever SA the mandella crowd would have taken control of would be the basket case that SA is today.

  16. CC: We already lived under a communist, black minority regime for 8 years.

    I don’t recall liberals complaining about you should only have a government that “looks like the country” then.
