Mmm
Think about it
It's much easier for people to attack him as a racist for using the wrong flag. The apartheid era flag. If he had used the flag of the Boers in the Boer wars he could have built a much stronger defense against racism claims.
GG @dostoevskysghost, you just advanced to level 2!
I don't mind any of the flags but I'm just saying that it was perhaps unwise to use the flag he did. This is because people will often dismiss your argument for simply being racist.
I like his arguments and don't want him to be another strawman target.
I was shocked at how corrupt, intellectually, many SA media people are. Like the one guy on the radio show who accused Roets of defending the apartheid era.
That was just mental
I've been strawamanned and accused of defending the apartheid era as well for saying that the ANC were terrorists and Mandela was a part of this organisation.
And I'm Brown.
In the sphere of public debate and opinion formulation, you must give as little ammunition to the other side as possible.
Especially when the other side is ideologically possessed.
I see what you mean, but damn thats one hella long paragraph lol.
@bloob16 Is the 3D printing done yet?
Yes
Show pics lol
GG @Deleted User, you just advanced to level 1!
@Deleted User lol. Yeah, I have a tendency to explain fully, partially out of fear of being misunderstood or worse.
@Meerkat_RSA kaaklander?
@dostoevskysghost i did a few hours looking into south africas old flags, learnt a lot about their history, and I also watched kaaplanders videos. his earlier stuff is not serious at all and I think he uses apartheid flag to piss people off. When I watched the gun control video yesterday it struck me a bit weird but watching the other videos they are more in tune with being "shitposting"
I am not saying i find anything wrong with him using the flag, but the flag and what he says dont match very well, from what i read you are right wehn you say he can pick another flag that matches better
he is talking about kaaplander
oh wow
thats kewl
@Cal hesitant to talk of them. People often associate them with the fascist parties and call those who support them fascist.
I don't support them completely but I can see why they are so popular. Hindus are often discriminated and treated like shit. They are told they are scum and we can't talk of the genocide and ethnic cleansings the Islamic regimes perpetrated. If you are a moderate like me and argue for a more reformed but hardcore Hindi movement, they just brand you a saffron terrorist.
I am a devout Hindu but am more focused on the intellectual part of the movement and am a stubborn capitalist.
All the while the media is dominated by lefties who support communists. The communists also act with impunity in the state they rule and once ruled. You almost never hear of the crimes committed against Hindus yet we as a whole are held responsible for some crackpots none of us support or even like.
*Hindu
They slash and kill Hindu activists with machetes in front of their wives and children.
Leave them on the streets for everyone to see.
@GTollini I was just making a case for being a bit wiser strategically. From what I have seen in SA media they are quick to paint you with a certain brush the moment you say anything positive about the Apartheid era.
It strikes me that the journalists are terribly undereducated in your nation.
@dostoevskysghost that's a shame, I really like them and believe in Hinduvta as well
You North or South Indian?
Southerner.
Tamil iyer
Hey, same here
@Cal I don't hate Hindutva I just disagree with how to go about fighting for the Hindu cause.
@Cal nice man
