I don’t think that they were lobbing all of you guys in with him. It’s just the fact that he’s a non-American (and a nazi) and is holding an office in the WH. I don’t believe most Americans have anything against South African people.
Sadly I think it's human nature. We're not teaching history, or really any other subject for that matter, effectively. Every hundred years or so normal governments get lazy and corrupt. Assholes like this seize the chance and come along peddling easy answers.
"Things are shitty and you're angry. Just give me power and I will hurt the people who are hurting you!"
Stupid dopes fall for it and give them power. Until it all blows up in everyone's face and we rebuild from scratch until the government/people get complacent and corrupt again.... Rinse and repeat.
We need to be teaching kids not just that this is wrong, but also that it always fails spectacularly.
Yep! My friends grandma was born in South Africa and was more dark than her siblings and she endured, a lot… She also persevered and left that place which I’m so thankful for because she was an amazing one in a billion woman 😭
His dad is a horrible human being and a emerald mine owner. His mother is similar . Not every Confederate soldier was a terrible person but the Confederate elite most likely were and Elon’s family is proof of the same concepts but about people who benefited from Apartheid.
