the happen'
lol
Not happening.
They will take the land with no resistance, then starve.
Then, the west will give them billions in food aid.
Then they'll start begging them to come back
That too.
If I were in charge of their various human rights abuses, I would have put SHITLOADS of people through degrees in agriculture, plant and animal science before showing any outward sign of wanting to expropriate land.
And I would be VERY racially selective in the amendment of the constitution, only the Boer can have their land taken, so that foreign investors would know who could have their stuff taken without compensation and who can't.
Smart leadership would endeavour to re-create the conditions that allowed the Nazis to get away with confiscation of Jewish wealth.
Blaques hardly know how to farm though
I doubt teaching them will work in the long run
There's dozens of stories of Christian missions going to Haiti and showing the people how to farm and then when they come back a year later to check on their progress, the land has completely been salted and ruined because they don't know how to maintain it and they use it for other purposes than farming
They'd likely refuse the help. I remember reading about some case in South Africa where some people's land was entrusted to a tribal council and they refused educational help (but decided not to refuse the government money) offered because they claimed they wanted a black farm to be run by black people and for people not to think that they were incompetent. Ironic considering that the farm was defunct in 5 years and the tribal council had been embezzling the funds
That's why I wouldn't just get people in to show them how to plant stuff. I'd put people through university WELL before any expropriation happened.
Make Farming School Great Again
An actual degree in Agriculture is VERY different to a missionary showing you how to do something.
Take the San out of the reservations and put them through farming school
The stolen fruit will turn to ashes in their mouths.
It's hard in South Africa and Haiti. These people think this shit happens by magic. They have no understanding or appreciation of how much thought and work actually goes into maintaining a farm in those places.
Most people in the west don't either.
Because they've been told by their leaders that the farmers just sit around and get rich
Farming is a specialist, and under-appreciated skillset.
lol
@Dinosorcerer These people are going to get a rude shock.
Some of them already have, but the lesson hasn't seemed to take
I don't think this has happened in SA yet.
It happened in Zimbabwe a while ago, but no one wanted to learn those lessons.
It's going to happen eventually
Yes, after they actually take the land.
There have been a few isolated cases in SA like the one I talked about above
I have no sympathy for people who steal and murder, then starve as a consequence. However, these people are also condemning innocent children to the same fate.
@Dinosorcerer Got links to these isolated cases?
I honestly didn't think you'd start seeing it this soon.
How does 2004 sound?
wut
How can you attribute happenings in 2004 to stuff happening this year and last year?
