The biggest problem with decolonization is that Decolonization is the Glorification of Entropy
Entropy is the Enemy of Civilization, so Glorifying It Means Things Will Only Decay and Deteriorate
Southern Africa shows this quite well, but it's happening in America too🧵👇

The obvious example of this is the clip from "Empire of Dust" I used yesterday; decolonization, or the destruction of European governance and the handing of power to non-white "oppressed" groups has been tried
In almost every case it ended in disaster

Take the Belgian Congo. It was a jewel of Subsaharan Africa under Belgian rule, and quite prosperous
Particularly, the resource-rich region of Katanga was heavily invested in and quite prosperous
So, when the Belgians announced in 1960 that they would be leaving, the Katangese tried breaking away from the Congo because they, the native Africans of Katanga, wanted the Belgians to stay
They wanted white businesses, white soldiers, white police, white administrators, and so on. They saw those men as being good at governance, just, and competent, and so wanted them to stick around after "independence". That's why they brought in Mike Hoare to help them fight for independence

But Katanga's demand for independence and a continued European presence was deemed unacceptable by the pro-decolonization West
So, in the name of "independence" from the supposedly evil colonial overlords, the UN was sent in to stop Katanga from breaking away
The result was that, remaining part of the Congo, the Katangese have forever suffered and shared in the same evils as the rest of the country. The Simba Rebellion, the years of civil war and murderous anarchy, the famine, etc. All of it could have been avoided had Katanga been allowed to break away and keep a European presence intact
Instead it got crushed by the UN, got its full share of "decolonization," and has forever suffered because of it and the entropy that decolonization brought
Now, the Congo has the state of things seen in Empire of Dust: rooting infrastructure that was never repaired or replaced, a population hostile to the idea of maintenance and learning, and an utter state of disorder that's closer to the Congo Livingstone and Stanley found that the Belgian Congo of the 50s

Why? Why did it end so poorly? Entropy
Decolonization is essentially the removal of European-enforced order and the replacement of it with absolutely nothing anything effective, or, in other words, the destruction of order and the resultant creation of disorder
That's entropy. Entropy is, very loosely defined, a state of disorder toward which everything naturally drifts
It is unpaid mercenaries fighting starving, drunk rebels over villages that no longer exist and cities full of more trash than living people, forever

And that is what "decolonization" praises
It sees order as an unnatural state, which it is, as it requires much work, from Singapore-style policing to constant maintenance of machinery, to create and keep
As the anti-colonial movement glorifies being in a state of nature, it is therefore hostile to anything done to bring about order, as entropy is the "natural" state of things

That is as true with their hatred of things like dams for being "unnatural" as it is of their hatred of policing for being "cruel"
So they want to blow up the dams, hug the trees, and defund the police
That leads to CHAZ/CHOP. Remember that? When anti-Western lefties took over the Capitol Hill zone of Seattle, ushered out the police, and created...anarchy (the entropic version of crime and justice) that resulted in mayhem and murder
It was pretty much a six-block version of Johannesburg, and ended up being exactly like Johannesburg, a land ruled by entropy as applied to daily life, anarchy and chaos

But it's not just crime. While that situation, the anarchy present everywhere from London to LA, is the obvious result of the decolonization of the Great Powers, it crops up in other areas of life as well
Take property. Property rights are not a natural thing. The state of being to which everything reverts when entropy isn't fought is the law of the jungle; one can do what one wants and take what one wants so long as one is strong enough
Property rights, on the other hand, are the root of civilization, and the concept of "ownership" means that violence doesn't transfer the right to real estate or personalty. Even if it is in a different set of hands rather than the rightful ones, that doesn't mean the rightful ones lose their claim to it
Now that is under attack because "decolonization" means the weak, or in this case propertyless, are seen as always right and in need of help, meaning property rights will be stripped away - such as by giving squatters more rights than property owners

That is not natural. The Vikings pillaging a monastery and taking everything is "natural," and is the state to which things revert when civilization is yanked away
The Congo is another great example. What did the natives do as soon as Belgian rule was yanked away and replaced by nothing? Entropy set in and the Simbas raided the Convents and Monasteries, killing, torturing, and otherwise abusing the nuns and monks while stealing and abusing the populations they crossed, particularly the Belgians

That is what decolonization is. It is entropy. It is the absence of order that spirals into ever greater disorder
And at some point you end up as Johannesburg, a city covered in filth, full of decaying buildings, and overrun with crime; it's Mad Max with more trash and murder as thugs smash the road with pickaxes so they can rob trucks
So, when the usual suspects rant about "decolonization," that is what they are praising. That is to where decolonization always leads, as it is a war upon order
Take, for example, these pictures of a street in Johannesburg. On one hand, it is entropy, the absence of order (maintenance) leading to decay. On the other, it is evident in America. What are the shantytowns of California, the homeless encampments of the Bay area, the decaying neighborhoods of Baltimore and Detroit, but Johannesburg with more drugs?

Civilization is not easy to create or maintain. It requires work, it requires hard hearts, it requires ruthless maintenance and everything that brings
Decolonization not only picks away at all that but smashes it in the name of "equity," thus not only introducing entropy to the civilizational system but praising it for eating away at the pillars of civilization
Decolonization not only picks away at all that but smashes it in the name of "equity," thus not only introducing entropy to the civilizational system but praising it for eating away at the pillars of civilization
Thus, it's easy to see to where this leads
Entropy will destroy everything we hold dear. From a house that is "yours" to the ability to take your kids for a walk in the park, none of that is possible in a state of nature, a state of entropy, the absence of order
Only chaos is!
