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

@Ald well, In recent history I mean

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

And white encounters with natives

I like that passage. Many Irishmen fought w/ the Boers against the English as well... 🙂

I’d kinda like to visit South Africa some day

That’d be my 5th continent

@Ald Who is the most hardcore English South African that you know? Just curious

Insatiable Anglo Wanderlustblut

@ophiuchus I encourage you to go take a look. It's worth the knowledge gained and experience

@The Morrígan A friend of a couple years in my personal server

Ethnat pagan

Just go with the right people of course

@The Morrígan yeah going alone would be just. A bad idea.

Orania is nice to look at @ophiuchus

Nice people

I went alone. But I had a secured plan with connections at every stop @ophiuchus

Orania is really interesting. They have (or plan to have) their own currency as I understand.

Do not blame them for getting away from the Rand.

Yes, they DO have their own currency. I brought some back home. @ophiuchus

My grandfather went to South Africa back in the 70s. Very interesting stories.

Which part did he go? Do you remember? @ophiuchus

All through it. Mostly Johannesburg, also visited some place called Sun City out in the desert.

There is so much to dissect in a country like that. I can only say that it will broaden and sustain your perspectives

It makes you realize the dire necessities @ophiuchus

In everything that we do

And when I talk to people from other countries. . . Like my friends in London . . They have the same sense of urgency, nearly, as people in South Africa.

I think Americans will wait until the heat is so hot that they have no choice
