  • I’ve met people who I think really relish being aggrieved. I don’t have even 1% of the interpersonal conflict in my life that these people complain about. I think that, while people do say things which offend them, they see these things as an opportunity to be a victim. Anecdotally, I’ve noticed a lot of these people usually have wealthy upbringings




  • The real tragedy about this thing is that when the right aligns itself so heavily with the “white genocide” narrative, it delegitimizes real problems in South Africa among liberals and leads them to side with the government of SA.

    The ANC is an extremely corrupt political party which has seriously mismanaged South Africa. They do, in fact, weaponize government against white South Africans, seizing land and redistributing it to black South Africans. They scapegoat them in order to distract from their own corruption and economic mismanagement.

    This does not rise to the level of “genocide” as Elon Musk would put it, but many people in the west sort of implicitly assume that the South African government is righteous because it’s run by the party of Nelson Mandela, but even black south Africans have started to become fed up with them and gave them a large electoral blow in the 2024 elections. They are still the leading party, but at less than 50% of the vote, so they now have to cooperate with coalition partners
