Has Ramaphosa and his mouthbreathing ilk learned bothing from the Zimbabwe scenario?
Violent conflict is inevitable. A few of the independent Boer holdouts that have been attempting to mind their own business while the country goes to shit around them, have also been preparing for this very scenario - Orania comes to mind.
It will be interesting to see how the international media and big powers choose to respond to this. My guess? Not at all. They wont touch it with a ten foot pole
Aren't a significant portion of South African farmers in possession of firearms? If the moronic baboons make this call they're asking for an insurrection since nobody will want to get the Zimbabwe treatment.
The worst part about these land seizures is that (despite the farmers losing their land), the land will most likely be redistributed to members of the Government and their friends (the richest and most powerful in the country). They will have no clue what to do with the land and production will go down. The poor of the country will suffer the most once famine comes. The dispossessed farmers will likely leave the country and resettle in other countries like Georgia who will take them gladly which need farmers. Taking with them all that knowledge and potential capital while South Africa's economy goes down the toilet and racial tensions ignite in the process as her people become increasingly desperate.
Can''t wait to get a fuckton of useless currency just to collect.
And I still see a bunch of people trying to say that there isn't any discrimination going on toward whites in South Africa. I get that it's hard for some people to try and admit that racism and oppression goes both ways, especially since the situation used to be the opposite in South Africa but oppressing white people is just as bad as oppressing any ethnic group and I am pretty suck of the double standard. Shit like this helps fuel those alt-right loonies too cause it confirms their biases.
The non black whites, indians and other minorities should just make their own country inside south africa before it becomes another Zimbabwe and mass genocide happens.
Because that worked so well in Zimbabwe. Fucking stupid cunts.
This will not end well. I am scared for the minorities, in zimbabwe this resulted in genocide of white/other minorities.
They're not so much militant regarding apartheid era politics as they are apprehensive of the (seemingly accurately foretold) dividing conflict. The armed elements are likely the patrols that go around and patrol the farmland premises in order to protect them from the infamous farm attacks. If you don't stomach violence well, I suggest you don't go around looking for pictures. These attacks are brutal.
The organization is the Suidlanders, a civil defense organization that emphasizes training in a wide variety of matters, from self-defense and first aid to communications and crisis management. So the focus will seemingly be on hasty evacuation of the Boer (aka Afrikaner) people from major population centers in the event of an anticipated white genocide and accompanying race war. And before people get on the pedestal to decry these people as angry, paranoid white racists, do know that they explicitly distance themselves from Neo-Nazis and white supremacist movements. If anything, they merely have an underlying Christian ethos. And do consider that what they've been living in fear of is actually a very real threat now. These folks are survivalists, not supremacists.
I've read and watched a bit about them in recent weeks and they're certainly an interesting bunch. Members of the group have been preparing for years, amassing supplies, constructing mobile refuges in the form of caravans, mobile hydroponics vehicles, supply stashes etc for when they actually might have to abandon everything they know and hit the road to start over elsewhere, some constructing extra spaces and containers on top of their caravans to pick up Boers they might come across in need of rescue on the way and whatnot.
It's all pretty ominous stuff. I mean, where can they actually go? It's not like they can resettle themselves in some corner of South Africa once they've been uprooted from it, right? So I imagine the only options they will have are emigrating to countries that legally accept them. Australia notably has recently offered Boer farmers refugee visas and I imagine certain other countries will be looking to get their share of this population due to their skills.
But I hope South Africa doesn't turn into a shitshow. This wouldn't end well. The Boers won't abandon their homes just like that. They won't just stand down and give away everything they've worked to build and grow over long centuries to a bunch of angry mobs. Even if they outnumber you about 10 to 1, according to population census data. Rwanda 2.0 followed by Zimbabwe 2.0.
"Zimbabwe 2: The o fuck where'd the food go boogaloo"
Conspiracy theories aside: land reform when done properly goes a very long way to fixing wealth inequality, a problem that South Africa is in desperate need of a solution to as its in the top ten for worst wealth inequality. The idea that this could result on famine in anywhere even close to the scale in Zimbabwe is utterly laughable once you take into account that South Africa is already largely dependent on imports for its food supply, its domestic farm industry is one of the smallest in the continent, unlike Zimbabwe which had been producing food surpluses prior to the Mugabe regime.
Not when the land is just given to the currently ruling rich people, which is what will happen here.
So the big question:
Is this Zimbabwe V2, or Liquidation of the Kulaks V3?
I'm getting the growing suspicion that political identitarianism doesn't work out so good and i really wish people would stop it. Maybe this inevitable genocide will finally teach us that politicizing resentment only begets infinite horrors and improves nothing in any capacity whatsoever.
