South Africa’s current predicament is much worse than the MSM would like us to infer. I’ve got Telegram feeds of unadulterated mayhem, and some first person sources that make me deeply grateful to not have family in SA. Here are some things to keep in mind as we watch a crisis unfold that many of us in the dissent sphere have been speculating on for years.
First, this isn’t BLM writ large. BLM was orchestrated by our plutocracy and facilitated by law enforcement and public officials. This was ignited by the imprisonment of former president Zuma for corruption, but it isn’t something under anyone’s control. In the U.S., putting down a riot or preventing one from happening is 100% a matter of political will. SA no longer has that capability. At this point, the cops can’t even stop their own from looting.
The upside to not being able to contain black mayhem is that they can’t stop whites from defending themselves. As much as they’d like for whites to lay down their arms and open up their communities to the mobs, the best public officials can do is ask. The scale of mayhem paired with the incompetence of authorities will make it very difficult to hold anyone accountable for self-defense the way we’ve seen here in America. I’ve watched footage of Indians dispensing brutal punishments to looters. Since they’re filming their actions and posting them online, they obviously have zero fear of legal reprisals.
The level of destruction is something difficult to contextualize from American life. In Durban alone, at least 45,000 businesses have been knocked out of operation. Again, this is violence without parameters. In the U.S., the police would let BLM loot and torch retailers in certain areas, but a critical hub for food distribution, a power plant, or a chemical refinery? They wouldn’t have let it go that far.
What SA blacks have in common with ours is a complete lack of agency as a group of humans. There’s no self-restraint conjured in their minds through reason. They’ve committed acts of wanton destruction that will immiserate and shorten their lives and all they can do is cheer and take home looted appliances they won’t be able to use because they knocked out the power. In terms of the future, they are blind.
Why steal food you can’t store? What’s the point of destroying the place where you can reliably purchase something to eat every day? Why in the hell would you torch a plant from which you siphon free electricity for your shanty? It’s all an issue of considering the near-future consequences of their present actions. That’s not a thought process most of them perform adequately, if at all.
This brings us to the question of whether or not it’s over. Phase one seems to be fizzling out as the mobs get tired, most of the stuff that was easy to steal is gone, and the military and private security firms go into action. But, what happens to the economy and food supply in the wake of all this destruction, especially to critical infrastructure?
The lawlessness of SA and the lack of human capital guarantees it will be an uphill battle for construction companies to rebuild in a timely fashion, assuming most of these businesses decide not to call it quits. Famine riots are a beast all their own. That could be on the way. This might be a decisive milestone on a path to national catastrophe.
What strikes me from watching videos is how many I’ve seen where a white person will film an aftermath and exclaim they can’t believe this is happening in their country. That’s what I find more disturbing than watching someone get cut up alive with a machete. Really, you haven’t noticed what’s been going on in your country since the mid 90’s?!!
My only surprise is that worse didn’t happen sooner. Many dissidents have this false assumption that things getting worse will force people to wake up, known as “accelerationism.” That’s a pipe dream predicated on the assumption that normal people can use reason to make predictions based upon their lived experiences and observations, free of social and emotional inhibitions. If that were possible, things wouldn’t be this bad.
Very few of the expatriate South Africans I’ve socialized or worked with are what we’d call “based,” despite having families scarred by trauma and scattered in exile to wherever they could obtain residency and employment. Dispossession hasn’t cured them. They’ll still cite wealth gaps, historical inequity, etc. and condemn race realism as racism. It’s a very sad situation that’s bound to get worse.
I’m proud to officially announce my candidacy for the office of Dogcatcher.
Where’s Ebola when you need it?!! These things truly are subhuman trash. Maybe Angela Merkel will invite them to Germany when they run out of food in a few days.
We caused all of this because we were to greedy to do our own work. Then we were to proud to admit our failure and to weak to correct it. Now we will reap the rewards.
Thats a line of thinking right out of Jew hasbara 101 JDUP777.You are blaming Whites when it wasn’t Whites but Jews who brought the blacks to America.Slavery in the U.S.actually greatly hurt the 96% of Whites who didn’t own slaves.Studies have shown that White Southerners were caused great economic(as well as other)harm by the Jewish slave trade.So take your White guilt crap back to Tel Aviv(oh,you’re already there).Great article Tom Shackleford,I immensly enjoyed reading it and learing more about the situation in SA.I’ve always cared about our kinsmen there and in Rhodesia and in the past taken a newsletter out of SA.Sad how the Jews in America and Britain destroyed SA/Rhodesia on purpose and then wouldn’t let them migrate yet any mud race on Earth could migrate here.Its all by design to destroy Whites.The latest is the Turkoman Jew Boris Johnson offering citizenship to 7 million Hong Kong gooks.Sickening.But we clearly see who rules us(for now anyway).
I’m not taking about the American South. In South Africa we employed black women to work in our houses and black men to tend our gardens. Black laborers worked our farmlands. This is still practiced today and has nothing to do with Jews.
I agree for the most part. The desire, and then dependence, on abundant cheap black labor in SA (in the cities and out on farms in the hinterlands), not only meant constant mingling of the races (which is a huge problem in a guerilla war situation), despite apartheid, but indirectly invited millions more blacks to migrate into SA for a job and better living standards. It was a house that could not stand. Total separation, and self reliance, was the only solution that could have worked.
“Very few of the expatriate South Africans I’ve socialized or worked with are what we’d call “based,” despite having families scarred by trauma and scattered in exile to wherever they could obtain residency and employment.”
I don’t know which Saffers you’ve been around! Almost ALL the (many) South Africans I’ve known are hyper-based. What they do, however, around foreigners is put up a front of “yes, SA is working, it’s wonderful love love Madiba thanks next subject” until you clue them in that you know about their country and dislike the ANC. Then their true feelings come out!
Zorg I totally agree on Afrikaners being aware.They’ve always been that way.Its the brainwashed English sellouts(much like American women)who embraced their own destruction.All this caused by a wholly Jewish owned media,education and finance(just like America).Long live Rhodesia and long live the Boers.
Yes, it was the English, by and far, who voted to end apartheid.
There are two groups of whites in South Africa. The Anglos and the Afrikaners. The Afrikaners have steadily been building parallel systems and have a survival plan. Unfortunately this is not available in English but it’s driven by the Solidarity movement. This movement has hundreds of thousands of contributing members. Will the plan actually work? I don’t know.
The Anglo section of the population basically have a liberal British mindset. They are almost exclusively urban and have very little connection to the land. The issue with the Anglo mindset is that they cannot imagine a future where they are at the bottom of the food chain. Most of them plan on moving on to other parts of the Anglo sphere if things get really bad.
What most people don’t realize is that South Africa didn’t go communist when apartheid fell. It’s went neo-liberal. This made whites very rich. So there is still a connection to the rainbow nation for some urban whites although the numbers are dwindling.
My personal prediction. Is that SA is unsustainable. In the next couple of years the global economy, the SA economy and the welfare system (feeds millions) will collapse. Unlike Zimbabwe, South African blacks are mostly urbanized in the northern and Eastern parts of the country. They cannot eek out a living on a small plot like the Zimbabweans do.
As we have seen now the army and police are less capable then a basic Indian suburb with some guns and private security.
What is going to happen in South Africa after all the assets have been stripped is going to be utterly cataclysmic. And really, who is going to come in and help? SA is the poster child for multi-culturalusm. But I have hope for the white population especially the Afrikaners.
If you read this site you should watch South Africa because you can learn good lessons. However it turns out.
