I really hate talking about South Africa since it's just a losing and depressing situation, the only time I truly lost it with Doomworld mods was when they brought this subject up as an insult, haha. I got mass deletions on FB when I used to speak about it so I ended up not following it for a year and get a wake up call. Anyway.. just a fifteen minutes drive from where I live this has been happening.

Also, I've spent the entirety of last night on Twitter, looking to see what the other side has to say and it's stomach turning, tbh... I was hoping for there to be moderates like there used to be, but after reading a few hundred militant tweets all using similar wording and seeing their "likes" I didn't realize just how many thousands of Africans were LARPing as revolutionaries here.. saying that they're not afraid of shooting chicken skin (a new insult coined for us, apparently) and seeing smug regressive Leftists sitting in Starbucks cafes in New York ignoring the gravity of the situation while nonchalantly condescendingly virtue signaling about how "white South Africans should be mindful of their history" as if history is that black and white, hasn't been modified and as if we're not well versed in the history of what happened in almost every other African country, including Zimbabwe... and as if history has to define the worst possible future scenario.
Just look at this bone chilling footage, look at the murder, absence of empathy and coldness in this guy's eyes..
My father was born into a farm in Zimbabwe, had to move to South Africa to escape Mugabe's presidency... now we're stuck in this mess, getting the same rhetoric all over again here, I owe them land back we bought under the new government apparently.... after finally building a business from scratch that could support us they've been deliberately over reading the electricity meter at our factory and giving an insane price that we can't afford, then cutting off the electricity for 3 weeks because paying the extra sum of money will sink us.. a few businesses on our road had to close their doors because they had this done to them as well... a family friend had his face smashed into a bloody pulp, my friend got raped on the way back from a party, I had to watch my mom's face getting pistol whipped and that's just in the last 5 years.. I still have a lot of shit to do before I can leave, I hope nothing happens before then, but things are escalating a lot quicker than I thought they were.. all it took was one opposition party politician running his mouth.
