South Africa is imploding

Other forum, guys talking to buds over there, its small spots and already under control.

Think Portland Antifa nonsense.

I hope so.

It sure does seem like this is the typical way to report things. I don’t know who this source is, but anyone who reads this the least bit critically can see this guy has an agenda, mainly to get a buck from everyone that read the story because he paid for the bandwidth to get it to you or some such nonsense.
It all just makes me not trust anyone spouting off.

Sadly it sounds like South Africa dealt with it better than Portland did

Worst violence in years spreads in South Africa as grievances boil over

Crowds clashed with police and ransacked or set ablaze shopping malls in cities across South Africa on Tuesday, with dozens of people reported killed, as grievances unleashed by the jailing of ex-president Jacob Zuma boiled over into the worst violence in years.

Here’s a Reuters link with some details.

A recent past president that didn’t show up for his hearings on corruption and fraud was thrown in jail.
So now people that are hopeless, or are told they should be hopeless, that think (or are made to think) they have nothing to lose are motivated to act like animals and that the cause is worth dying for. I bet there are instigators that are safe and sound in their compounds though.

Supposed conservative news seems to be click bait titles and **** poor reporting/ writing.

No doubt things aint peachy.
Just how bad and where?

 

[Hookeye]

Am skeptical about all news.

Cant get the truth about crap going on in Indy from local news.

Sorry, Dave, has been edited to say same as before the like.

If only they had a more centralized state to govern.

Steal everything, burn it all down, wake up the next morning and...sigh in contentment as you gaze at the ashes of your city, having enriched yourself with an armful of free consumer trash from the mall? Where are you gonna get food three days from now, after you've torched the stores and the fields the food comes from?

This is why Africa is Africa. It's not colonialism. It's not the governments. It's not corruption. It's the people, people who will burn their future down in order to grab some free crap today, then wake up tomorrow and whine about how it's all someone else's fault.

Sounds a little like L.A, Portland, Minneapolis, Downtown Indianapolis...

Maybe I should bump up buying those Level IV plates.

So... just open racism now?

This will only embolden those here who commit the types of violence we saw all last summer. They’ve gotten away with it so now it’s given them the mindset they can do what they want with impunity. Only a matter of time.


Hope everyone’s stocked up. Food. Water. Gas. Hygiene supplies. Ammo. The worlds a ****ing mess.

With the US getting so close to an extreme hyperinflation event everyone definitely should be stocking up.

If I'm reading you right, the answer is no. Making an observation about a cultural problem is not racism.

I don’t think you know what that word means. That’s not even close to “racism”

And sadly, the left has managed to make EVERYTHING about racism, so that they have cover to do what they want without fear of criticism. "you're just saying that because he's black" So instead of actually discussing the bad thing the person did as should happen so that positive change can come from it, the discussion deflects away from the actual problem and into whether the accuser is an awful person or not. In redneck circles it would be as follows:


Dad: "Bubba why'd you go and throw your sister's Barbie car through the trailer window?"
Mom to Dad "If you hadnt knocked me up after drinking that case of Natty Lite 9 years ago, we wouldnt be here right now!"
and from this point, the argument becomes a domestic incident between mom and dad instead of finding out why Bubba threw the car, breaking the window.

My middle son has been indoctrinated into this line of thinking too. Deflect and redirect the conversation to avoid the painful truth. It's hard to have a reasonable conversation with him these days.

Wow .......Had not seen some of those videos yet .
Looks like a bunch of Zombies . I saw one video where they were even stealing caskets . ( which they will need shortly when they starve to death when they can`t find any food , after they realize they can`t eat their new TV. )

Your desire to paint with a broad brush fails you once again. PW Botha was racist. And even South Africans are agreeing with Ark’s assessment.

I was wondering who the new standard bearer was going to be.
