From what affliction are these people seeking refuge?

[–] Ledericas@lemm.ee 11 points 4 weeks ago

simple, from "not being the majority ruling class in government, policy and wealth extraction"

Let's see what well-known controversial figure is from South Africa and seems to have a lot of influence or leverage over the president? Hmm.

This is the stupidest timeline.

'refugees' fuck off

[–] skvlp@lemm.ee 26 points 4 weeks ago (2 children)

Do they "deserve a safe haven in the US" because people are rightfully cross with them where they’re currently residing?

[–] Venus_Ziegenfalle@feddit.org 23 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

I don't know these particular individuals but I've met my fair share of South African white supremacists and I believe they're just about the scariest ones. They genuinely see black people as subhuman animals. Like genuinely. They show each other clips of lynchings for amusement. And it's not just to be edgy. They're hateful beyond any comprehension. They also don't hide their beliefs at all. Idk if they're being sent over to bolster the brownshirt ranks but it's not good news at any rate.

thier support of apartheid hasnt done them any favors. and 1 came over and destroyed the country.

[–] RangerJosey@lemmy.ml 23 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

Well. That isn't surprising. But it is disappointing.

[–] peregrin5@lemm.ee 6 points 4 weeks ago

New day, new disappointment.

America will finally be the Germanic/Western European ethnostate it was always meant to be. No wonder the US and Israel are so alike, lol, they share the same DNA!

[–] frustrated_phagocytosis@fedia.io 16 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

They are probably going to experience some intense culture shock. They may be white on the outside, but old school white supremacists here don't take kindly to accents that identify you as an outsider, even if they are being used as pawns by one particular group of supremacists. 'Go back where you came from or else' is their rallying cry, even if you are born in the US.

Surprisingly, a lot of the white nationalist organs here in the US have VERY intimate contact with white national South African groups. I'm wondering how many of them are coming here to avoid getting caught in government dragnets in SA. Lots of the bombmaking know-how and quite a lot of weapons flowed into South Africa during the fight to keep apartheid from the 60s-90s (and now the fight to either topple the post-apartheid government or create a separatist state where they can institute apartheid), and much of THAT was supplied by contacts in the American KKK. Weird Little Guys did an incredible deep dive on the interlinking of the white nationalist movement internationally with white South African resistance to the ANC and the DeClerc and post-DeClerc governments.

Are there even enough trailer parks to house these people?

The podcast Weird Little Guys just concluded a long series of episodes about the weird bullshit leading up to this.

[–] resipsaloquitur@lemm.ee 13 points 4 weeks ago

They’re not sending their best.

[–] gradual@lemmings.world 12 points 4 weeks ago

Strange how they only allow white people.

[–] Darleys_Brew@lemmy.ml 11 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

So does Fat Don like immigrants or not? I’m confused.

Seems like there’s space for them in El Salvador.

Great, now americans need to learn about necklacing

[–] ChicoSuave@lemmy.world 3 points 4 weeks ago

But Nazis need necklaces. It's tradition!

[–] Maeve@kbin.earth 3 points 4 weeks ago
