Is it wrong for a foreign power to maintain a small, centralized group controlling an indigineous population that does not want them there? Absolutely.


Is it also accurate to say that, based on centuries of specific cultural evolution, the British and Dutch are far better at creating a productive, successful society? Also true.


This is the summary in effectively 2 sentences.




So...the question is, would you rather be "wrong" and have a successful, prosperous, relatively safe and stable country?


Or "right" (as defined by...who knows) and live in a corrupt, violent, shithole with rampant hyperinflation, starvation, rape gangs, etc. they just replaced a white government with a black dictator who made life demonstrably worse for everyone except his tribe.


Tale as old as time

Again, where do these delusions come from? Rhodesia was dealing with an insurgency from 1966 onwards as well as being heavily sanctioned. South Africa detained more than 18000 people in the wake of the Sharpsville Massacre, the event which militarized the ANC. Why isn't their any blame put on the part of the National Party in SA pursuing institutionalized apartheid in 1948? It seems odd that the ruling class never gets any blame in these threads for making things worse, and instead we get retarded nostalgia by a bunch of cucked retards about some good-old-days that never existed.
