 Science Must Fall | South Africa |
|
Quoted:
If they want South Africa to decolonize, then why don't they let the whites leave with their savings? imagine that in collaboration with some americans, a new USSR invaded the US and established a tyrannical government that nationalized all private property and redistributed it to russians and american communists. after a while, the US communists stopped actually sending americans to prison camps, but enforced an economic structure that prevented most americans from rising above a ghetto existence. what would we want? we'd want the russians gone and the US communists in jail. what we absolutely would not want is them to be able to go back to russia with wealth that they extracted from this country. i'm not saying that that's how things are, but that's how anti-colonials look at the situation: "you came in, stole our shit, and are now trying to exfil with the loot." |

it's interesting to read the responses about science here in this thread, and compare them to responses about science in evolution and global warming threads. for all the weirdness of that video, the speaker is basically saying that science is bad when it is used to further a political agenda.
that's fucking identical to the arguments found right here in jee dee every time science is mentioned. |

Doesn't surprise me. Go read the South African Constitution.
It's a progressive's wet dream, and after 20 years, you're seeing the predictable results. Which explains why Bader Ginsburg loves it so much. Oh, and how's that unemployment rate doing? |

This dumb bitch wants to throw out everything because white people did it and that means it's wrong. She also seems to believe witch doctors can cause lightning bolts to strike people with magic incantations. |

ah, the favored argument of squatters: "your property rights don't mean anything if i want your property and you're not standing on it."  Quoted:
Quoted:
Like they were doing so much with it before the Europeans arrived. Personally I'd like to see a return to it, I don't see any problem with having different rules for how we treat members of our own society vs how we treat outsiders. They're often our enemies yet we give them many of the same protections we give our own, that's stupid. |
