It's like that butterfly flapping it's wings and becomes a hurricane metaphor
It may seem insignificant and unlikely at first...
Black Monday had a pretty good turnout, but very little came of it in the following weeks. Only after Lauren's doccie and Afriforums US visit did the farm murder issue get international traction. I guess one could attribute Black Monday as a starting point but not directly
nope EWC was the start
So it might of been Afriforum.
Black Monday just cause shit
no problem
Small beginnings
It is a combination of things, agree that EWC caused a lot of it. However Black Monday was before that was it not? But EWC brought Lauren here, must have played a big part to Willem starting his channel etc. Youtube vids/channels, including Renaldo, Willem, Ernst, Starbird, Caracal etc flows over to Twitter and both have international reach.
yeah small, but danies tweet/video majorly focuses on black monday having the biggest impact , when its acutally EWC, videos made by willem, danies boertestimony hastag etc
But Cyril Ramaphosa just dodge it by his Robert Magube speech
@Apollo and black Monday awareness maybe didn't inspire them that more could be done?
my tweet :
Ok so let me get this straight... you, Rene and Willem's interviews happened because of Black Monday? Not because of #BoerTestimony? Donald Trump tweeted what he did due to Black Monday, not because of @ErnstRoets visiting Tucker Carlson? So an event a year ago caused all of this
Now I am confused... Danie agrees with me but still pushes out a fake narrative?!?
In the nile... Lol
Black Monday possibly showed how much support there is to appose farm murders and EWC. Not that it makes much of a difference as it is linked to EWC support wise and awareness wise. I am not sure why the video does not show how Afriforum's visit rather got them the interview, as this is actually what happens. I guess it does not have as much effect vs saying it was due to Black Monday.
@Stefan i think it did a fine job getting international attention, everything snowballed from there.
more flipflopping than an australian beach
Well done Tanie
The irony out of all of this is my wife is more right leaning than I am, she actually agrees with what they have done up until now... so it seems they are pushing people like her away
@Rendier they forgot to include die stem in die video. Where people sang it on black Monday
Truth bombs dropping fast
Huh?!?
Good debates on both sides of the fence creates awareness of any topic. The BIG thing that video misses is the role Afriforum played. Boer testimonies came after the fact and rode the wave. Look, I support the cause. Not a huge fan of how it is done but if it works it works. I wont make my own Boertestimony video for example, because I am not a boer in the sense of the word and have no special story to tell. My support is more general in nature and more focused on Afrikaner
@Billy Chiltong great video dude... next time consider not doing what the EFF, BLF and the ANC do with their promotional videos
Me Going Through the Tweets
@Stefan same reason I'm not doing one either, i might be part boer by heritage, but I'm not boer by trade, and i don't think the international community simply grasp that given that it translates directly to a trade.
There is some cringe in most of the testimonies I see, because many of the people doing them call themselves Boere but arent close to being one. Maybe had a uncle who used to farm back in the day or have a wildsplaas somewhere in the family.
@Stefan ja exactly... And it can be taken to promote this conspiracy idea if those who aren't boer by trade are proven not to be... Wouldn't matter if boer refers to a cultural ethnic group.
@Meerkat_RSA let's avoid that term for obvious reasons
Ya i will delete
