Why not? Rhodesia was a well-run country. Not only enough to eat for everyone, but Rhodesia often exported food, not to mention minerals and tobacco. From what I know, every child, white and black, had access to education and everyone had access to medical care. Far better than the present situation, where Mugabe ran the country into the ground and looted it.
No, I know that Rhodesia was a successful country. It's just that this country and its inhabitants were abandoned, and things went pretty badly for them in the end.
 
I also use any excuse to post this image, it's pretty awesome.

I've heard a couple of different things about Rhodesia personally I think obviously that would have been the better place for black people to live and and eek out an existence. I am fascinated with Rhodesia unfortunately some pro Rhodesia types go into fairytaleland territory when they're talking about the good things. One thing I can say was Ian Smith was right about what would happen in the future......
There's definitely some rose tinted glasses going on with some of the hard-core Rhodesian fanboys, but even it's worst aspects pale in comparison to what happened when Mugabe took over. It's really a tragic tale tbh, it should still be the shining gem of Africa, but the absolute worst leadership imaginable ruined it.
 
I guess that's one way to keep the russian birth rates up..

Seriously though, "health services" being code for abortion is some evil shit. Who's fucking idea was it to use stock images of two smiling women when talking about rape? That's some creepy shit.
Because it's shit that never happened, at least not how the BBC is trying to make you believe. I'm also pretty sure there are more than few Jewcranian pervs that thought "They will blame this on the Russians" and let his inner rapist fly free.

I hate to repeat myself but war brings out the worst in people and they will take the opportunity to kill, rape and rob in the chaos, knowing they can blame the invaders, insurgents or whoever is the bad guy.

An eternal Anglo turned against Englishmen. What a cruel joke.

I mean part of the reason why the rodesia disintegrated is because they couldn't defend The population so they all just left for South Africa where it was safer And the black people there were under more control lol.

Not only was Rhodesia abandoned, but they were fucked over by the UK and the USA. Indeed, things went horribly in the end. Sure didn't have to happen. Rhodesia wasn't perfect by any means, but it was far better than just about any sub-Saharan African country.

You are definitely correct some of the rhodesian worship Has produced idiots like Dylan roof. Still don't understand why he thought killing innocent black people in the church the church that never messed with anybody was a good idea lol I hate pussy identitarians at least kill off shitty black people in da hood. Folks just get autistic about a past that they will never know.
 
I need to do some research but what really was the main reason the dumbasses in England wanted to fuck them over? Please don't tell me it was all charistic designs for the plight of black people lol
Because they were the only colony that refused to hand over leadership to the blacks. Whites were only 5% or so of the population, but it was a way higher percentage than most of the African colonies. Basically they saw what had happened in all the other ones and said "fuck it, we're not seeing everything we built be destroyed". They declared independence, which was a massive embarrassment to the UK government.
 
Zelensky left Azov to die because they're clearly russian agents, even their name uses russian spelling instead of Oziv, as it would be in the native ukranny language
Also, for the people a week ago who were trying to bring up the lack of denazification on Russia's checklist, that looks like it's about to be crossed off with the donbaus regions.
lol no it's not, "denazification" in the context of ukraine means taking care of the old banderist chestnut, and that in turn means breaking the nationalist power base in west ukraine, all the way in freaking Lvov

they're not even close, calling it quits after the meme battalion dies would be a big ol' failure on that objective
Maybe banning far right parties but as far as kicking the kike out of office and replacing him with their own stodge I don't really see it happening with the current situation.
lol, Zelensky would get told to fuck off by everyone under him and maybe even end up as a lamppost ornament if he seriously tried to do that

people don't seem to realise just how much ukraine had it's overton shifted right, an officer calling some neon yazi a "banderist" is considered an outrage that requires apologies, an investigation and punishment for the offending officer

even had their equivalent of shitlib twitter and boomerbook outrage, with #IamaBanderite
 
If I were Ukrainian, I'd be telling my kids there was a lone pilot defending our skies.
If I were Russian, I'd be telling my kids to stop believing the Western lies online, all the videos of dead people are fake.
Do you think this is comparable?
I think it goes deeper than that. There has definitely been an element of "ukraine-above-all-ism" present in the country since 2014, for one. Secondly, I think a lot of people want to buy into the good-bad binary to some extent. Even if a war is unjustified (as in this case, imo) that doesn't make the defenders good guys.

I don't want to powerlevel too hard, but I keep in touch with family on both sides of the border, and the Ukrainian side has said some really funky shit over the last 8 years. The way that Ukraine gets perceived in the West right now isn't upheld by reality. Anecdotal as this argument might seem, the entire situation is marinated in a fog of bullshit and lies. The rhetoric being fed to Ukrainian kids and Russian kids isn't all that different. This precedent is a major part of the reason why I'm extremely skeptical about anything and everything coming out of Ukraine right now.

Russian kids are gonna be told about how big and bad and evil Ukrainian Nazis are and how many kittens they eat and that they're the reason that innocent people in Donetsk died. Ukrainian kids are gonna be told about how the evil, genocidal Russian orcs eat cats, kill innocent people and steal streetlamps, toilet seats and Nutella.

Russia-Ukraine relations are reaching a point where they will be indistinguishable from Balkan ones. There isn't a good side in this war. Both countries are becoming incredibly autistic and incredibly unlikable.

Don't forget that the West abandoned it and sanctioned it, while the Soviets were funding commie niggers to take it down.

Its a shame that the Dutch fags in charge of Apartheid South Africa kept that timebomb running longer than Rhodesia, which was nowhere close to that level of insanity.

Edit: well ninjed by Uncle Joe.

South Africa fucked itself over by blocking immigration from europe post ww2. They earned their ruin. Really what fucked the rhodies more than anything else was being landlocked. Once the Portuguese were out of Mozambique, the rhodies were completely at the mercy of South Africa. Also they were fucked because the white population was too small a minority, if they had been 20 or 30% of the population, they might still exist.

The politics in Africa regarding the USSR (and allies), the West and South Africa are complex, but don't you believe for one second anyone's primary reasoning was the welfare of black Africans.
 
Unless I'm retarded, I can't actually find this on Twitter or the BBC website itself, possibly fake or deleted.
I've been looking through the replies to the account through the past 24 hours with nothing outright mentioning it.

Plus it isn't Archievd so that easy way of checking is gone too.
