You can't say "that is incorrect" just because the facts make you look like a dumbass.

Colonialism is the only reason African is as advanced as it is.

it's sad to say (because of how terrible many of the colonial masters were), but it's the truth

SSA was basically in the bronze age when it was colonized

how many written languages existed in SSA pre-colonization? I've heard 0 but that seems too low

they had no concept of modern medicine, technology, etc. hell, agriculture wasn't even common in many areas

making the claim that had colonialism not happened, they'd have caught up to the modern world in 500 years is laughable. this is not Asia with dominant social hierarchies and monocultures. SSA had countless cultures, languages, etc.

TJ, if you are older than 14 then some key people failed you in life. You think and talk like a child, and have the most logically inconsistent arguments across the board to the extent that it is almost astonishing. You’ve promoted yourself as a libertarian in the past yet have so many takes supporting some of the most amoral and authoritarian moves the world has to offer at the moment.

Is there a way to short the South African Rand? Inflation about to skyrocket.

TJ was melting like an emotional 7 year old girl in the Trayvon documentary thread on the M/TV board

he displayed a legit complete lack of rationality and comprehension of reality

definitely someone that has had their entire reality painted by racially focused Facebook groups instead of stuff that happens outside of the four walls of their home

Anyone seen news on Ginger Baker? Have they taken his land yet or has he fought them all off with his cane?

Unfortunately you will be called mean names for even suggesting what virtually everyone knows to be true.

Nah. Boers/Afrikaaners were always a ruling minority - while the demographics of this country are changing, they aren't anywhere as comparable. Any attempt at land-grabbing, whether legal or illegal, will be met with extreme prejudice. That might be the desired result, but it won't happen.
It's more about the spread of communism/socialism than black/white IMO, and it can certainly happen here. First step: disarm the people.

Yes, I had to look that up. It is interesting to find the history of a particular area at that particular time and how it relates to other world events at that time.

You do realize that in certain parts of South Africa, especially in the interior, the Dutch were the first humans there? Also, there are many other areas where the Dutch made deals with the locals for the land.

What is "neo-colonialism", though?
