At this point, we all know that they're doing this

Britain's locking up protesters for speaking against immigration, and American prosecutors won't lock up felons

But why do they do it?

It's the time-tested way tyrants like them win power 🧵👇 Image
First, there are various people and interests behind this, of course

George Soros and his Open Societies Foundation are a good example: that's where woke American AGs and prosecutors who won't lock up felons get their campaign cash from

Similarly, you can bet a whole host of NGOs fund those who are letting criminals out of jail to make room for normal people who will be locked upImage
But it's bigger than that. It's not just that insane woke people are causing chaos

It's also that this is a repeated tactic communists, and tyrants generally, use to gain power: create chaos and then exploit stopping it to become popular and have an excuse for solidifying power and crack down on dissentImage
The communists, for example, opened up the prisons and let all manner of violent thugs out of jail, letting them prey on the populace

It's one of the more shocking parts of "Always with Honor" by General Wrangel, for example: as the Revolution began, the prison population of the Crimea was suddenly out on the streets and causing chaos, often when garbed in the insignia of the communists and with their supportImage
Similarly, much the same thing began the French Revolution: the mob stormed the Bastille, killed the guards, and freed the (couple remaining) prisoners, including the Marquis de Sade

Anarchy then followed, which the worst of the revolutionaries were quick to exploit Image
In both cases, it ought be remembered, it wasn't that those taking power were against locking people up in prison

Both were known for covering their hands with blood in the years that followed, with many a poor soul sent to a prison camp and killed

So, it's not that they were against prison, whatever their rhetoric surrounding it might have beenImage
Rather, it's that they knew criminals were their allies in the war against the old order

Whether the scum of Russia locked up during the Great War for stealing, murdering, draft dodging, and so on, or the enemies of the enemies of the French state, rotting in the symbol of the king's power, those locked up by the sane state were beloved by its demented attackers

The old orders in France and Russia weren't prison camp states in the Soviet mold, after all. Yes, both had prisoners and the Russian czars had the exile camps in
Siberia. But their hands were hardly stained with blood. They weren't wiping out an entire order like France or murdering millions like the SovietsImage
But it wasn't just that the bloodthirsty revolutionaries were ideologically allied with the sorts who would steal and murder

It was also that they knew letting such people out of prison would help them gain power Image
Thousands of criminals running loose during the revolution would cause chaos, reduce the existing state's legitimacy, distract people from paying attention politically, and, most importantly, tire them out and make them crave order, no matter who provided it

Countless tyrants have done this. The Nazis were well known for it with the street fights against the communists, the Soviets did it during the Revolution, and the blood-soaked tyrants of the French Revolution used the preceding chaos to justify their rule

Augustus, similarly, was accepted by Rome in part because of the decades of chaos and bloodshed that preceded him. He was less of a tyrant, but it was a similar justificationImage
Image
To return to Britain, and the rest of the West as well, particularly crime-wracked and illegal migrant-saturated countries like the United States, that's why they're doing this

Think, for example, of all they want to do. The Great Reset. Civilian disarmament (gun control). Outlawing beef. 15-minute cities. Getting rid of gas-powered carsImage
All of that will be highly unpopular. No one wants to eat cockroaches and not be allowed to leave a small radius, like some medieval peasant

But they might be willing to accept all of it, to accept the outcome @Babygravy9 wrote about in The Eggs Benedict Option, if there's enough chaos to make them accept it. If the Great Reset seems worth it in comparison to the chaos of rampaging, crime-causing foreignersImage
So, their whole goal is to make The Great Reset seem worth it, just as earlier their goal was to make Marat seem worth it or Lenin and the Reds seem worth it

So, when normal people are locked up for speaking their mind and some illegal immigrant gets away with murder, that's why. They want you to accept their tyrannyImage

NYC's communist is quoting Nelson Mandela, a communist terrorist known for murdering white civilians

As a reminder: Nelson Mandela was not a kindly leader as presented in Invictus. He did not want peace; he explicitly rejected it

A short 🧵on Mandela's terror campaign👇Image
For one, Mandela was in prison because he created a civilian-bombing terror group called "Spear of the Nation," and premised it on the success of Fidel Castro and Che Guevara in Cuba

He then carried out dozens of bombings on civilian farms and infrastructure

MK was backed by the Soviet Union, co-led by a Lithuanian communist named Joe Slovo, and the Mandela-era leadership was convicted of trying to violently overthrow the state

This was after Mandela convinced the ANC, in the '50s, to request arms and support from the People's Republic of ChinaImage
Once in prison, Mandela refused to renounce violence

In fact, the South African government offered to release him from prison if he would simply pledge to not engage in terrorism anymore. He refused

He then smuggled messages to MK's new leadership through his murderous wife Winnie, and those messages helped them plan their attacks and tactics in the terror bombing campaign of the '70s and '80s, which led to hundreds of white civilians killed and thousands woundedImage

In the Medieval period, most states in Europe executed between 0.5% and 1% of their population every year, as punishment for lawbreaking

Turns out, when you do that for half a millenium, you essentially get rid of the "crime" gene and crime becomes a non-issue
*I typed this incorrectly. It was this percentage per generation, not per year. However, the same study estimates that around the same percentage died at the scene of the crime, in some form or another, or while awaiting trial, which would boost it to 1-2% per generation
So yes, not per year, per generation. Still a lot of people and enough for a eugenic effect over time

All you think you know about King Leopold II and the Belgian Congo is wrong

You were told it was a hellish land of cruel exploitation. That's a lie

In reality, Congo was a colonial jewel, the atrocities didn't occur, and the Belgian years were the only good rule it's had🧵👇 Image
First, it's important to note what state of things existed in what became the Belgian Congo before King Leopold II became its ruler

That tale is best told by Henry Stanley in his book, How I Found Livingstone, his tale of searching for Dr. Livingstone in the heart of Darkness

In it, he describes hell on a grand scale. Arab slavers from Zanzibar pillaged the anarchic territory, taking gangs of fettered slaves back with them to be castrated and sold to the Arab slave market

The interior, when not being raided by Arabs, was in a state of horrid chaos. Random violence, cannibals, the ever-present threat of famine, and all the rest we think of when we think of pre-colonial Africa is what life was like in the Congo. Rotting vegetation, insect-infested huts, farms barely maintaining subsistence, and tribes raiding each other and explorers were the basic aspects of life in the pre-Belgian world

In short, life before the Belgians was like life in the Stone Age: nasty, brutish, and short, with the only law being the law of the jungle

Stanley and Livingstone did much to expose this state of things, and it was the greedy, exploitative traders who followed in their wake, before Leopold and the Belgians, that are recorded by Conrad in his The Heart of DarknessImage
It was about a decade and a half later that, during the Berlin Conference, King Leopold II was granted control of the area now knows as the Democratic Republic of the Congo

He controlled it through the Congo Free State, a private attempt he founded and fully owned, with the goal of colonizing and bring order to the anarchic territory

To do so, he started sending to the state Belgian officers and administrators. They, along with a bevy of monks, nuns, and traders, were the ones who set out to turn the anarchic Congo into a well-administered area that turned from animist paganism to Christianity while becoming prosperous and stable

The military/police arm of that rule was the Force Publique, which was mainly officered by Belgians but otherwise consisted of natives allied with the Congo Free State. They protected the nuns, protected the traders, kept out the Arab slavers from Zanzibar, and generally tried to first impose and then maintain orderImage

South Africa is back in the news because of its anarcho-tyranny and Mugabe-style land expropriation

Missed is that this is Mandela's vision

The ANC's "National Democratic Revolution" concept—using liberalism to establish communism—is going exactly as he planned & hoped for🧵👇 Image
"National Democratic Revolution" (NDR), is originally a Soviet concept that was adopted and built upon by the South African communists, particularly the ruling ANC regime, to suit their unique situation and goal

Their goal, as one might expect of an anti-colonial communist group, is race communism of the sort seen in Zimbabwe under Mugabe

Their unique situation, however, was that they had the world's sympathy and were expected to create the "Rainbow Nation" rather than just another nominally democratic hellholeImage
Hence, the NDR concept. By slowly boiling the frog, they could use the slogans and methods of liberalism to first establish socialism, and then, from ther,e move to communism

It's that final step we're seeing now, and they might not have boiled the frog slowly enough, as they're getting more resistance than was expected

Still, it's gotten them this far, so it's worth reviewingImage

The American left is embracing race communism of the sort that destroyed South Africa + Rhodesia

Here, e.g., the Chicago mayor admits to anti-white racism in permitting: “Every dime [blacks] were robbed of, I’ll make sure is returned two- or threefold”

Here's what's coming🧵👇
Mayor Johnson's spewed absurdities are, essentially, the same inane nonsense the African communists pushed before destroying their countries

In South Africa, Mandela's ANC has long insisted that the white farmers "stole" the land from blacks, and thus it needs to be "returned" to them

Much the same was true of Mugabe's thuggery in Zimbabwe, where he and his cronies insisted that "land reform" (farmland expropriation) was a necessity because the white farmers had "stolen" the land when they founded RhodesiaImage
In every case, it was absurd: the supposed "thieves" built everything that existed, they didn't steal it

South Africa is a great example. When the progenitors of the Afrikaners arrived in 1654, they found a nearly uninhabited land, and those few Khoisan there were roving pastoralists who had settled nothing. The Afrikaners then built South Africa from the ground up, turning an untamed wilderness into a thriving colony with hugely successful farms. They gradually marched to the north and west, settling the land as they went and eventually finding the Xhosa and Zulu, both of whom arrived in what's now South Africa from the north well after the Afrikaners did. Once again, it was the Afrikaners who built civilization, with their labor and hands, in that mostly untamed land. Over the mid-19th to mid-20th century, Anglo settlers and capital poured in as well, helping build civilization where none had formerly existed in South Africa

Rhodesia was much the same thing. The British South Africa Company did, admittedly, find the Matabele and Shona in what became Rhodesia when settling the territory began. But agriculture was limited. No cities, roads, railroads, or the like existed. Populations were limited and sparse. Anglos then poured in and settled it, turning veldt into farms, building cities on open land, and gradually raising civilization on land where little formerly existed. Further, what land the BSAC obtained, the land on which civilization was built, was bought from the Matabele, not "stolen."Image

Why are Afrikaners fleeing South Africa?

Well, here's what prominent SA politicians say: "We will k*ll white women, we will k*ll white children, and we will even k*ll your pets"

Importantly, this violence is part of Mandela's legacy and happened because of American policy 🧵👇
This should be quite clear as the Afrikaner refugee situation heats up

For example, an ANC (Mandela's party, long aided by the Soviets) hack calling himself "Staling" released this statement about Trump's refugee program and demanded the Afrikaners stay so that they can face "accountability" for "historic privilege"Image
What does "accountablity" mean in this situation?

It means he wants them to be slain in some of the sickest, most horrific ways imaginable

This is what the farm murders and home invasions across South Africa are: aided by the government (the military, for example, provides them with signal jammers), thugs r*pe, m*rder, and k!ll Boers in their homes

The farm attacks are almost always black on white, almost always involve sexual assault, and frequently involve murder. The same is true of home invasions in urban zones, what few are left in the years after MandelaImage
