This South African man is in awe of the safety and cleanliness at a rural American gas station 😂

You really don't know how blessed we are to have places like Buc-ee's and Pilot:

How can America be this awesome???

It is 12 o'clock at night. Look at this. Nothing, no one. I mean, completely spotless. Clean.

I just took a walk all the way down there. Midnight. It's freaking midnight and I'm completely safe. I'm a white person walking around. That's so cool. Look at that. Those trucks - nobody's trying to rob them. No one's looting them...

America is clean. America is friendly. Look at that truck right there! It's not being robbed!

To be fair, there are plenty of Democrat-run cities where junkies and gangs will pull a gun on you. (Please don't attempt this same thing in south Chicago.)

That being said, we all know that there are still plenty of magical places where people are actually safe to walk around at night.

Heck, even DC is looking cleaner since Trump took over.

Ok I’ve officially seen everything now!

I laughed (and felt slightly horrified) at his shock that no one was killing/eating the squirrels. 😭

At any rate, if you want to know why this gent is so amazed at being able to walk around as a white guy in public, here ya go.

At the risk of being a whitesupremacistracistrunningdog, I wonder if someone from the ANC would have the same reaction.

The ANC only took 20 years to turn South Africa from a 1st World nation into a 3rd World nation

Please don't attempt this same thing in south Chicago.

A co-worker of mine, in his late 30s, reasonably trim and in shape, dressed in a suit to see a client. He took the company car, a white Mercury Grand Marquis that looked very similar to the Ford Crown Victoria cop cars common at the time.

The car was running out of gasoline on the highway in west Chicago, and that exit did not have an adjacent on-ramp. He got off, and everyone around was staring at him . . . hard. When he went inside to pay (no pay at that pump at the time in the early 2000s), he was told by the man behind the counter that everyone thought he was a cop, and they were either trying to stay clear, or take him out, and it would be best if he left right away.

Just stay away from the so-called “sanctuary” cities and you’ll be fine.

Try a gas station on the south side of Chicago. I had to get off the highway and stop one time because I was dangerously low on fuel.

Americans, especially white middle class Americans look at this kind of thing and think it is normal.

It is not. For most of the world this is a undreamed of paradise.

The other thing they do not think of is how many systems have to work together to make it this way.

Or how much of the wealth produced in this country is because of things like this.

The less you have to spend on keeping your stuff safe the more money you have for other things.

I lived in countries where you have a guard at your house at all times if you do not want to get robbed. Leave the house unattended for a couple of hours and you come back to a stripped house. This is a financial burden for people.

"To be fair, there are plenty of Democrat-run cities where junkies and gangs will pull a gun on you. (Please don't attempt this same thing in south Chicago.)"
...or any city run by Democrats!

All that this man says about America is true. And not only can a white man walk safely at any time, but a black man or man of any color can do so.

Unfortunately many Americans take such splendor for granted. The USA is truly God's wonderful gift to all people. The American Dream is not merely prosperity; it is liberty, justice, prosperity, and safety for ALL PEOPLE. The wise will follow the American example. Wise Americans will nurture the USA and keep her safe.

I will also add that safety in America depends in part to strict law enforcement, a respect for law and law enforcement officers, and the right, recognized by the US Constitution as granted by God, to self-defense and to be armed for this purpose.

Well, not everywhere. Don’t try doing that in St. Louis or Memphis.

For every clean Buc-cees, I can show you 20 gas station bathrooms that would gag a maggot.

Yesterday, I heard on a National conservative talk show that leftists are poo-pooing positive comments from people who are here for the World Cup from overseas. Actually, what they’re poo -pooing is anyone who says how wonderful things are, how clean and how nice Americans are to them.

The leftist are answering back saying that we are nothing but haters, racists, and that Americans in general are awful, nasty people. It’s not so much that they see Americans as that, it’s all aimed it one man, and I’m pretty sure you can figure out who that is. Would they have said the same thing if somebody else was in the White House?

Being white in South Africa gives one a kind of unrecognized PTSD.

At one level there is government and globalist woke propaganda, while on the other, one knows the constant danger, and knows one is always a target.

I know more than a few (white) South Africans now in the USA. They marvel at things we take for granted - like being able to walk across a parking lot at night.

He must remember that American cities are much more like South Africa than the suburbs, exurbs, and rural places. He should be able to discover why that is.
