But they seem to be going that way. And if they go that way, mass hunger will follow, as night follows day.
Mugabe was eventually deposed, but as this guy pointed out, he did twenty years worth of damage. You can’t reverse the effects of disastrously stupid policy overnight. There are not just economic effects–such as uncertainty as to the security of property, and following reluctance to invest in or grow anything which makes anything, including food–but cultural effects, such as the belief that “what you make belongs to me”.
Here is the thing: hate us or love us, or treat us as one more tribe of clever humans who suffer from time to time from bad ideas, white people have invented nearly every life advancing technology in existence today.
Modern farming: by and large us.
Vaccines? Us.
Cars, trains, steam engines, rockets, modern boats, airplanes: us.
The computer, modern physics, the cell phone: by and large us, although Asians have no doubt contributed some manufacturing techniques.
The skyscraper, modern roads, the philosophical protection of free markets, political Liberalism as an ideal: All white people, or so I believe.
The notion of universal, equal human rights: white people.
Here is the thing: when you get rid of white people, you get rid of talent. You get rid of ingenuity. You get rid of drive.
Now, on our beginning many new beginnings can be made. The Chinese don’t need us. The Japanese don’t need us. The Indians don’t need us.
But South Africa does. South Africa will suffer from its racism. I won’t excuse the history there, but the history since Mandela has not exactly reflected well on the natives. If they want to claim equal abilities they need to demonstrate them. They haven’t yet, and seemingly have no plans to any time soon. They are walking into the fire, because it seems like the easiest thing to do. This is stupidity, and the recent history of Africa SHOULD make this obvious.
