re: history question for the OT: what was so bad about Rhodesia?

There were no racial qualifications, it was about money and land ownership.

So you needed to own land in order to vote?

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

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.

Write a 'song' about it.

I'm thinking this is sarcasm and you are not a fan of my work.

But, I'll play along. What would you like the 'song' to be about?

As others have said, Rhodesia was a land f incredible farms and agricultural production. The downfall started with civil war - black militants against the white Rhodesian army and the eventual defeat of the Rhodesian army. After the blacks took over, forcing all of the white farmers off their farms, the blacks promptly drove the agricultural process that made Rhodesia so well known into the ground.

We went to Zimbabwe a few years before covid. It is an incredibly beautiful country. We were at the Northern Game camp of the Hwange game preserve and then journeyed down to the central game camp, across the preserve.

Two stories. We went to the restaurant at the northern came the day we arrived (Drove across from Victoria Zambia) we went to the restaurant for lunch. We were the only people there. They had maybe a six page menu with many many dishes. We ordered and the waiter said, "We are out of that." We ordered three mor etimes, with him saying "We are ot of that each time. Finally I asked, "Can you tell us what you do have?" He said, "Meat pies." and we said, "Great. we'll have meat pies." They had orange drink and Quinine water, so we had quinine water with our pies. The pies were great. I think they were Impala meat, fresh from the preserve.

At the main camp (About two weeks after Brad Pitt was there) we dined at the main restaurant, with pretty much the same experience. There were two other groups there that night. The waiter was very nice so when we finished I asked him, what type of money he wanted as a tip. I told him I had "Zam-dollars", from Zamba, "Zim-dollars", from Zimbabwe, and US-dollars. He said if I was giving him money, he wanted money that was worth something, and would I mind paying him with US dollars. I tipped him, maybe $30.00 for then service and our (former Rhodesian Army) guide got upset, saying I had tipped him close to a month's wages.

They had a store at the main camp and we went in to buy some stuff. The wife wanted a package if Oreo similar vanilla cookies, vanilla cookies with vanilla icing between the halves. There were probably 15 cookies in the pack and the cost was 250,000 Zim-dollars.

Somewhere in the house, I have a 1 million Zim-dollar bill. It is worth so little that it is printed on only one side.

I did manage to get within 20 feet of a pair of rhinos in the bush, close to the central camp. A highlight of the trip, and the last of the great five I saw on our visit. (Lion, Water Buffalo, Elephant, Leopard, Rhino) There were also many other animals in the preserve, Zebra, Giraffe, Hippo, Crocks, Hyena, and all kinds of antelope species.

Some of the best coffee beans I have ever had. Rhodesia or Zimbabwe could be a great country.

You're right. Rhyming is for ignorant children.

The central theme behind that mindset has always been about wanting to maintain power societally and politically. When such power shows signs of slipping away, chaos eventually ensues.
