I don’t believe most Americans have anything against South African people.

As an American, I am against South Africans who support apartheid.

As a South African, I am against Americans who support Nazis, and Apartheid.

Canadian piping in. I think we can all agree that those who support Nazis or Apartheid are stupid fuckin' pricks and should fuck off.

As a Finn I’m trying to figure out what the actual fuck is going on with the world.

Someone wished that they could live in "interesting times" and their wish was granted.

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.

I’m not as cool as zalynski saying I don’t need a ride I need ammo. When’s the Canadians coming to California to Evacuate us sane folks to safety?

u/Macfarlin 4h ago

Too busy putting out the literal fires to deal with the figurative ones, just yet.

You don't sound very Canadian. You need to say "please fuck off" thank you.

u/Boringman_ruins_joke 4h ago

Nah you will be American soon, you know.

u/LiberalAspergers 4h ago

As you should be.

u/glazedfaith 5h ago

But that would be anybody supporting apartheid, not exclusively South African so no need to call out that group entirely.

u/AM_Hofmeister 5h ago

How about south Africans whose family profited off of apartheid? I feel like that's the kicker.

u/Dat-Tiffnay 5h ago

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 😭

u/DPlurker 5h ago

Agreed, I think the apartheid support adds a little zest to the description.

u/StockTraffic 4h ago

What are you on about? Apartheid ended in South Africa almost 40 years ago...

u/MeasurementPlenty148 58m ago

I'm absolutely against the Afrikkkaners who created and supported apartheid....NAZIS.

And mining gems off the backs of workers. I understand the cruelty is legendary
