Here's what really isn't understood when I say "the South Africanization of America":
It's not just that crime is going up; crime always happens. It's that everywhere turns into a potential scene of crime and bloody murder, with no respite.
It's total war, but with crime 🧵👇
The stabbing at the University of Arizona really shows this
Some girl was going to a school where she thought she'd have fun, but instead, she was attacked by some knife-wielding black woman for no real "reason"
What should be a relatively nice and calm place is instead, now, beset by violent crime and stabbings motivated not even by a desire to steal, but just anti-white hatred and a desire to harm
Were this to happen in some slum in Chicago, burned-out crack house in Detroit, or street corner in East St. Louis, it's not a story. Such things have always and will always happen in such areas; the solution is just to avoid them
But what's new is this happening in nice places; what used to be confined to the slums and "bad areas" has spread to everyone everywhere, with no clear way to avoid it other than to live in some secluded spot where the "fellow classmates" of the world dare not tread
So now you have homeless crack addicts lighting up on Venice Beach, shooting and stabbings in the nice parts of Manhattan, and "fellow classmates" stabbing their white classmates on pleasant college campuses
What used to be confined to the slums has now spread like a cancer to everywhere, and the natural result is that everywhere now feels like Rorke's Drift under siege with the Zulus charging in a Bull's Head, and some potentially already inside the biscuit box perimeter
Hence the stress, the fear, the worry becoming omnipresent: there's no escape, and often even protesting attack is seen as beyond the pale and "racist"
But while this is new to America, at least in the post-1970s era, it's not new to Africa
Nowhere is safe from crime in the Congo. No farm in Zimbabwe was safe when Mugabe came for them.
And, most importantly, the same is true of South Africa, where only Orania and a few other similarly secluded spots are safe. Everywhere else, from neighborhoods to big cities, face a constant onslaught of crime and the potential for disaster
Take Johannesburg and Durban. They used to not only be safe, but were beautiful. Mike Hoare, for example, describes the Durban of the pre-Mandela period as a jewel
But then came the South Africanization of South Africa with Mandela, and quickly car flamethrowers became a reasonable thing to strap onto your car if you had to take a trip outside the gate of your house
Then things got even worse and even houses with electric fences became unsafe due to the plethora of predatory criminals roaming about; and isolated farms were placed under siege, much as they had been in Rhodesia during the Bush War
Now, what's easy to see is that pretty much the whole country has to deal with the constant threat of "fellow classmate"-style stabbings
There's often not even a reason for it, as @k9_reaper has pointed out when describing the farm attacks; just hatred of the Boers and a desire to destroy. And destroy they do, with horrific results
So now entire cities like Johannesburg are effectively rotten hulks taken over by criminals and squatters, even the nice neighborhoods face the threat of crime and destruction (as became all too evident during the 2021 riots), and its highly dangerous to live on a farm
Everywhere, in short, is the potential scene of an unspeakably brutal crime, and the only solution is to leave for Orania or leave for somewhere safe like Switzerland, if they'll let you in
That is what South Africanization will mean when it comes to America
We're, unfortunately, used to the idea of areas in cities being no go zones for normal people, taxpayers. But as this progresses, it will mean entire cities, entire regions become no-go zones where one is unsafe for merely existing and the government either can't or won't protect you from the rampaging criminals
Private security does what it can, but that's only so much
Take from that what you will
IMO it means unpleasantness in heavily populated and isolated but attackable areas, as in South Africa, not "collapse," which is yet to happen there and so unlikely to happen here
But it's not unhelpful to understand self-defense in all manner of situations, with books like those of @wayofftheres and @DonShift3 being quite helpful in understanding what further South Africanization will probably mean and how you can fight it
Here's what it looked like, for example, as a white and Indian militia fought off an advancing column of rioters in 2021
"We're all Rhodesians now," as the meme goes, because they want to Mugabify the world
But we're also all South Africans now, as soft-on-crime, "rehabilitative justice" policies mean criminals face no consequences of note, anti-white hatred is common, and everyone's unsafe
One of the states I find most fascinating, after Rhodesia, of course, is Singapore
Why?
Because, it, in its undemocratic nature and drive for excellence, shows how we can escape our current decline and build a future of greatness even as decline surrounds us
A short 🧵👇
Why is it a glimpse at a good future?
It, much like Rhodesia, embraced the functional aspects of our civilization without the egalitarian insanity
As such, it shows what me must avoid to have a thriving society
It is undemocratic, and thus practical rather than ideological, prosperous rather than race communism obsessed, and gleaming rather than covered in the usual refuse of the Third World and increasingly Third Worldified West
It is, in other words, the opposite of South Africa
It embraced excellence rather than equality, and prospered for it, creating a world in which one would like to live rather than some steaming, Third World hell
The trend for the past century and a quarter, one partially shown by this superb video, is that houses prices in gold got cheaper, but priced in fiat they've gotten hugely more expensive
The truth, then, is that Houses Aren't Getting More Expensive, You're Getting Poorer
🧵👇
This chart provides a good showing of the gold trend, though it only goes until 2020, after which the trend accelerated
Priced in gold, which is useful because it represents the cost in a relatively stable fraction of global production, houses have gotten noticeably cheaper while growing larger and more complex
Priced in fiat, they've become unaffordable to the majority of the country
So, what happened? Why don't they seem cheaper?
Because income hasn't kept up with real inflation
As Forbes noted: "The bottom line is that, in terms of gold, wages have fallen by about 87 percent. To get a stronger sense of what that means, consider that back in 1965, the minimum wage was 71 ounces of gold per year. In 2011, the senior engineer earned the equivalent of 63 ounces in gold. So, measured in gold, we see that senior engineers now earn less than what unskilled laborers earned back in 1965. That’s right: today’s highly skilled professional is making less in real, comparative terms than yesterday’s unskilled worker."
Time for a very short 🧵with some of my favorite memes about the Rhodesian Bush War
First up, of course, is this about Operation Eland, the amazing raid on ZANLA in Mozambique in which 4 Selous Scouts were injured, and 2000 "terrs" left "slotted"
The rest 🧵👇
Up next: always remember what's possible
The Rhodesian security forces never had more than a few thousand first-line fighters, yet they fought a nearly successful, 15-year war against terrorists backed by not just the communist bloc, but the "free world" as well
Few things are impossible to those willing to go all out fighting for them, as the valiant efforts of the Rhodesians in the Bush War show, and thus even their loss is inspiring. If they, a small and landlocked country of ~250k whites and a few million blacks, could almost win a fight against the whole world, we can surely rescue our country
Then there's: your average Joe has no idea about any of this
People frequently ask what I do and I end up telling them I generally focus on the history of "decolonized" Africa, with a focus on the tragedy of Rhodesia. They're shocked to discover America aided communists destroy a free and prosperous state in the name of race communism.
Further, it seriously changes their view of not just the Cold War, but also the American Civil Rights Movement, which was backing Mugabe and Nkomo even as they launched terror attacks on Rhodesian civilians
Never forget that despite the mythology of the Cold War being that it was a global fight against communism, America aided communist terrorists who attacked free and prosperous Rhodesia
Thatcher shows what the Cold War was really about
A short 🧵👇
Why did they do that? Because Rhodesia stood for what they hated: hierarchy amongst men
Namely, though it had no apartheid, it had propertied voting; to vote, one either needed to be highly educated or have a certain amount (about $60k USD in modern money) of Rhodesian property
That common sense law screened the incompetent out of the voting pool
Only stewards could vote, and thus those controlling the direction of the country were better able to steward its prosperity and future
I'm often asked why I find the Rhodesian story so compelling
Much of the answer lies with this short clip, as I'll explain in the 🧵👇
The thing is, when faced with fighting the whole world in a desperate attempt to defeat "democratic" race communism, the Rhodesians took that plunge
They did what was honorable rather than easy, and spent a decade and a half battling nearly the entire West plus the entire communist bloc
Their enemies had Soviet advisors, Chinese training, brand new Communist-bloc weaponry, and total moral support from the democratic "free world" which meant the UN was on their side and the Rhodesians were cut off from world trade
But still the Ian Smith-led government didn't give in. Despite being surrounded on three sides by 1975, being grossly outnumbered, and having the South Africans stab them in the back in the name of detente, they didn't give in until all was lost in 1980
America isn't, and has never been, a Catholic country
We don't have to listen to the Pinko Pontiff as he attempts to push Gay Race Communism: Catholic Edition on the world, and have our ancestors' refusal to embrace Rome to thank for that
I remain shocked by how many people are like "this is good, actually, and America should listen to him"
Many of our Catholic brothers are great guys, I don't have anything against them and wish them well
But I find it absurd to 1) pretend America is a Catholic country, 2) say we should listen to what some communist in Rome says, and 3) describe Protestantism as heresy at the same time as the Catholic Church pushes race communism
Yes, some Protestant churches are full of heretics. But the Anglican Church of America, for example, is certainly far closer to accurate than whatever Francis is prattling on about
