It's been a horrific weekend for South African farmers.

Please RT. The world must know.

#FarmMurders ImageImageImage
I spoke too soon.

The weekend keeps getting bloodier for the South African farming community.

The president remains silent.

THREAD: Race-mad South Africa (2025)

I will be doing another thread documenting all the racialist policies of the ANC-led South African government, this time focusing on 2025.

The SA government denies these race laws exist, while simultaneously declaring how necessary they are.Image
According to the Institute of Race Relations’ Index of Race Law (racelaw.co.za), the South African government has 145 race-based laws operative today, many of which are explicitly discriminatory.

Out of the 324 race-based Acts passed by the SA Parliament since 1910, 122 (38%) were adopted since the ANC came to power in 1994.

Credit to the researcher behind this index, @Martin_ASFL from @FMFSouthAfrica.Image
The latest addition to the Race Laws Index came in January 2025 with the adoption of the Deeds Registries Amendment Act. Through this Act, South African law now allows officials to record the race of property owners, introducing race into an area of law which has until now been non-racial.

Data ripe for abuse by politicians obsessed with race-based property confiscation and "redistribution".Image

2025 Books Read Thread 📚

Book 1

My Project 2025 is to read the books I own written by my friends. The first on the list was @AuronMacintyre's The Total State. In this unpretentious debut book, Auron masterfully details how and why liberal democracies become tyrannical, with the frequent use of all-too-familiar examples.

I will write a detailed review soon, because this book deserves it.Image
Book 2

In 1968, prolific historian G.D. Scholtz wrote The Afrikaner and the Sea, addressing the Minister of Defense, P.W. Botha, and Minister of Economic Affairs, J.F.W. Haak directly, with the goal of outlining the case for Afrikaners becoming a sea power.

A fascinating read that delves into the history of the great seafarer nations of history, the Afrikaner's contradictory historical relationship with the sea, the future strategic and economic significance of the Cape of Good Hope, as well as his proposal for the future.Image
Book 3

In On the Edge of the Primeval Forest, Albert Schweitzer chronicles his experience and observations as a missionary doctor deep in the forests of Equatorial Africa in the 1910s.

Throughout this autobiographical work, Schweitzer ponders darkest, magical Africa, the nature of civilisation, man's relationship to nature, colonialism, theological questions, suffering, superstition, and more.

Very much a complimentary work to read alongside Conrad's Heart of Darkness.Image

Just in time to go through South Africa's ports that the ANC government has run into a nightmarish state of chaos and disfunction.

The container backlog at our 3 major ports stood at 100 000 at the beginning of Desember.
The congestion crisis at South Africa’s state-run ports has resulted in cargo ships having to wait 215+ hours at Port Nqura and 32 hours to enter Port Elizabeth port. Meanwhile, the wait to enter the Durban port stood at 227+ hours at the end of Nov.

businesstech.co.za/news/business/…
According to the state-owned enterprise in charge of South Africa's ports, Transnet, this severe shipping backlog will only be cleared by February or March 2024.

The situation has become so dire that the CEO of Transnet described it as "Rome is burning" Image

THREAD:

Seeing as the South African government's racially discriminatory policies are being discussed internationally in regards to their recently tabled race quotas for water use.

Here is a detailed thread on how race-mad the SA government really is: Image
Striking example is the government’s 2020 Tourism Relief Fund, which, during the COVID pandemic, used the racial make-up of the ownership of struggling businesses to determine whether they qualified to receive relief funds.

Luckily, AfriForum stopped it.

The South African government barred an organization that fights gender-based violence from getting funding because the management was too white:

The reactions to the AfriForum v Malema/EFF case, & Malema's disturbing remarks in particular, has again revealed the nature of white progressive liberals' thinking regarding race.

The idea of paternalism championed by the British Empire never ended after all.

Thread:
White progressive liberals tend to see themselves as having a guardianship role in relation to their black compatriots.

Eg., when a black leader says something others find disturbing or wrong, they deem it their responsibility to adequately clarify (as a parent would):
Further, this white progressive liberal perception of guardianship produces fawning & praise over mediocrity reminiscent of a Grade 1 teacher telling a pupil that his presentation was the best she's ever heard in her life!

The soft bigotry of low expectations.
