    You sure you don’t know why trump wants to take in the remnants of the apartheid regime’s constituents?

    South Africa used to be what american southerners dream of when they fly the confederate flag.

      Sure, they want more racists, especially armed racists, to close ranks with for when the coup goes from administrative to paramilitary. That’s why I have the feeling that these people coming in are a special breed of violent ideation.

      But will their shared hatred of nonwhites and progressive globalism be enough to form bonds with Americans? They’re still foreigners moving to a foreign land at the end of the day.

        I could imagine they would be bonding, yeah. The Afrikaners are probably also able to speak english, and then you have a bunch of white people wanting to live in a racist system with them as the ruling class and the only real difference being their dialect.

        Remember that being white didn’t include many races we consider white today, the most absurd example being the Irish who are on average even more white than the anglogermanic “original” ones.

        When push comes to shove they are still white people and ideologically very similar and will band together against the liberal scourge
