@The Morrígan The weather doesn't make a place special... it's the people.
And now that I’ve learned I’m actually not Native American whatsoever, I’ve decided to make my christmases a little more European.
Gonna go nail a raw chicken to a tree
It is a combination of the folk, the land, and the spirit that gives Place
@Rogue I know some very special and mighty people in South Africa. Strong people. So you're correct
Yes
The Zulu are a strong people
I admire the culture of the Boer.
You could learn some lessons from the Boer people @Rogue
Sadly a lot of boer are still libs that basically support initiatives made to destroy them
Oh no
Well, I beg to differ . . It's the Afrikanners that are still liberal. . Not necessarily the Boer @NITRODUBS
Two different cultures of white folks
Boer vs. Afrikanners
And then the English
Sorry I must’ve gotten the two mixed up
Yes. Many people aren't aware. It's ok.
The most hardcore S African I know is English
Ahhhh
But that's anecdotal
Well . . .
I know that the Boers are a very conservative people and not in a good sense
Many of the Boers despise the history of the English in SA
The English sold them out
Worked with the Zulu tribes, etc
I know
The Boer wars were some of the worst cases of white-on-white atrocity in history
I agree
It's really dwarfed by the coming of Christianity imo but yes it was bad
The English put rebellious Boers in what were essentially concentration camps
Yes.... I've come to see this @Ald
And the (((Eternal Anglo))) were behind them...
Really makes you think
It took me literally traveling to SA to "see" this @Ald
Henry Haggard Rider’s Allan Quartermain novels are incredible depictions of Boer era Africa
