The Slow and Ugly Implosion of South Africa Continues

In 2018, Tucker Carlson highlighted the expropriation of land from white farmers in South Africa. He stated, "As 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.

Calling it an implosion is disingenuous. It was a first world, European country.

It has transitioned to a black country.

That's the story. You see the same results everywhere it's tried, including city after city in the United States.

Well, at least this gives everyone plenty of time to make plans and leave.

Goes to show you that you can peacefully hand the reigns of democracy over to tribalism, then they burn, loot and murder.

all white africans are refugees from an oppressive and tyrannical government and should immediately be given such status in the USA and relocated.

[riri]

After years of “black economic empowerment” laws many can not afford to. They live in squatter camps. They began showing up in 1996 and now number nearly 500. Many once solidly middle class now inhabit them.

That gif features what appears to be the Michelin Man jumping up and down in excitement in the background.

“Goes to show you that you can peacefully hand the reigns of democracy over to tribalism, then they burn, loot and murder...”

With some people who are incapable of living in peace and harmony, you either have to be on top of them or they will be on top of you.

What happens when you turn over a modern, functioning society to people who’s average IQ is 80?

Are there any examples out there? Class? Bueler?

I am only observing reality, and verbalizing what I see. And since I’m retired I can get away with it.

It’s okay though, Negroes are in charge.
Maybe they can get help from Wakanda.

South Africa’s and Zimbabwe’s leaders got their ideas about politics from the worst examples in the U.S. - race hustlers. They are just as corrupt as their American counterparts.

Their promises are 100% about gaining power, power which they then exercise for their own power and financial gain, doing little, beyond their many speeches, to lift the lives of those from whom their lies bought the votes.

[EEGator]

Africa is Africa because of Africans.

Europe is Europe because of Europeans.

“Calling it an implosion is disingenuous. It was a first world, European country.

It has transitioned to a black country.”

Something similar is happening here as our white population implodes.

[P.O.E.]

Back in the 60s the movie “Addio, Africa” told the tale of the brutality that ensued when the Europeans turned over the countries to local rule. (It was made by the same filmmakers as “Mondo Cane”, so it’s in the mondo vein for sure).

Definitely not for the faint of heart.

I hope these guys aren’t negatively impacted by all this. I might want to buy one of their cars some day.

Twenty-six years ago, "South Africans engaged in a peaceful revolution. . .

Little fact-check note here for Tucker: three decades ago, Cuban troops financed by the Soviet Union engaged in a violent revolution to overthrow two southern African countries that offered more liberty to blacks than either Cuba or Russia.

This war waged by the Soviet Union marked the completion of a campaign begun under the tsars to seize the land off the Cape of Good Hope to give the Russian Navy a friendly warm-water port of access to the seaways of the world. Until the southern African wars, the Russians had exactly one major port that doesn't turn to solid ice in the winter, and that has always been a strategic vulnerability to them.

Russia feels much better now. All you African farmers and businessmen, black and white, who are now broke or dead as a result--hey, sorry!

All you American and European Communists and useful idiots who helped make that happen--repent and make reparation now, or take the option of doing so at your leisure in eternity.
