this sub only shows up on popular when it's Rhodesia or North Africa. If I had a nickel every time this sub shows up, I'd have a couple nickels and it's weird that it keeps happening.
It’s comical to me that out of all the places the White supremacists tried to have their own state was a place surrounded by black people, for hundreds of miles. Why not try Europe or something?
>Why not try Europe or something? Well, they kind of *did....*
>怎么不去欧洲或者别的地方试试呢?

There are several eastern European states that effectively achieved that via the Nazis.
有好几个东欧国家当年在纳粹的操弄下,实际上就是这么干的。

Just look at Israel nothing but Arabs for miles to see but hey this is a great place to put a country
看看以色列就知道了,周围全是阿拉伯人,但他们还是觉得“嘿,这就是建国的好地方”。

White supremacy is an oversimplification of how Rhodesia chose to incorporate and restrict ethnic diversity. While there is evidence of supremist ideology, it is often intermixed with elements of an oligarchy that reinforces ethnic supremacy to maintain an established hierarchy of power. Racism is often just another tool in the arsenal of union busting
I mean, lacking accountability is inherent in white supremacy.
我是说,缺乏问责机制本身就是白人至上主义的固有特征。

Are you trying to tell me it wasn’t actually Hitler and the Nazi’s fault that their country was nearly annihilated when they lost a war of annihilation they started? /s
Lions led by donkeys podcast did a few episodes on these shitbags. They actually got feedback from a fan who said he found a grave of one of the white trash and pissed on it. Well done!
《由驴领导的狮子》(Lions led by donkeys)播客专门做了几期节目讲这帮人渣。有个听众反馈说他找到了这帮白人垃圾其中一个的墓,还在上面撒了泡尿。干得漂亮!

Finish the sentence. Are you seriously trying to advocate for the existence of a state for White supremacists?
把话说完。你真的在为白人至上主义国家的存在背书吗?

America's participation in the Rhodesian white ethnostate is hilarious and pathetic, look into soldier of fortune magazine and the exploits of kissinger
美国参与罗得西亚那个白人种族国家简直又荒唐又可悲,去查查《雇佣兵》(Soldier of Fortune)杂志和基辛格干的那些破事儿吧。

I remember reading about a guy who wanted to be a mercenary, answered a classified add in the back of Soldier of Fortune, got hired to be a soldier in some African country. The flight he was on landed just as the airport was captured by the rebel forces. Things did not go well for him after that.
A colleague in the Oil and Gas industry from South Africa had another colleague who was one of the Selous Scouts during the Bush War. The guy would occasionally get drunk and talk about his time in the scouts. One day he started talking about a recon patrol they were on. They ran into a kid herding goats. They couldn’t let him go as he would give their position away. While they were debating what to do, one guy says he’ll sort it out and walks off with the boy. Ten minutes later he walks back wiping down his knife. The guy apparently still screams himself awake at night.
This is a very common bit of military folklore. It is an old tale that keeps getting retold, with different wars as the background. The first time I heard it decades ago, it was set in Vietnam but it was an old tall tale even then.
I don't think it's folklore. It's just how wars are. My dad had a similar experience when he was in jump school, and he was going to be deployed to Vietnam. One of his trainers was an officer who was getting drummed out, my dad respected the man, and asked why he was getting the boot. The basic story was that the army was trying to get ahead of scandals after My Lai, and the officer had ordered a village burned because his squad's patrols kept getting ambushed regularly and the only place they could find that could support enemy forces in the area was this village. The village leadership refused to give any information about the ambushers, so the officer decided to prioritize the safety of his men over these people's homes. As my dad tells it, that's when he decided to go AWOL, because he both agreed with the officer's reasoning and also never wanted to be in the position of having to make a similar choice. He spent years running from the military and dodging the FBI before his parents managed to get a lawyer that could get him amnesty, i think during the Carter era.
That sounds made up. The Army was NOT kicking people out for that kind of thing. And if he was being kicked out, he wouldn't be assigned as an instructor at jump school. And if he was, he wouldn't chat about war crimes with trainees
Just to be clear, “good” here is referring to the war criminal being traumatized, not the African child being murdered right?
明确一下,这儿说的“好”是指那个战犯感到受创伤,而不是指那个被杀的非洲小孩吧?

Yeah, I hope it haunts him until he dies. I hope his old age is tortured by it.
没错,希望这事儿能折磨他到死。希望他的晚年被这噩梦缠绕。

I'm gonna ask it: why are there so many arguments in these comments over Rhodesia? From my limited knowledge it was a colony that practised slavery and lasted 14 years and the country that proceeded it was also racist and is crashing hard due to that; living the same death Rhodesia had. Edit: all of my assumptions were right; racists can't stop jerking it to the idea of them once holding power for less than 20 years for the six thousanth time while the "worse and incapable" institutions all outlive them by hundreds of years.
Rhodesia is like the Atlantis for white
supremacists because when it was ruled by a white minority it had a relatively prosperous economy, and after Mugabe took over the country fell apart.
Because if you haven't noticed many historical subs are crawling with white supremacists and revisionists.
这还用问?你没发现吗,很多历史类版块里到处都是白人至上主义者和历史修正主义者。

It’s basically a dogwhistle, racists and incels love Rhodesia and talk about it constantly, and while it existed it was a massive cultural influence on western racism and white supremacy culture.
During the war the Rhodesian armed forces decided to attempt to recruit foreigners to bolster it's dwindling reserves. They sent out suitably macho ads like "be a man among men" and "Terrorists stop here" which hit a nerve with the "too young to kill asians" in US society and "I want to do my bit for colonialism" crowd in the UK. They advertised in "soldier of fortune" magazine and a particular demographic in the US ate that shit up. This would probably be a similar demographic to "loves watching ICE Raids on the TV" today. Most recruits in this campaign got just enough time in the country to get pictures like this dude above and then were either sent home unsuitable or quit.
战争期间,罗得西亚军队决定招募外籍雇佣兵来填补日渐枯竭的兵力。他们发了不少主打“硬汉”形象的征兵广告,比如“做男人中的男人”或者“恐怖分子止步”。这套说辞精准踩中了美国社会那些“在亚洲杀人还没过瘾”的家伙,以及英国那些“想为殖民主义尽份心”的群体的痛点。他们在《财富士兵》(Soldier of Fortune)杂志上打广告,美国某些特定人群简直把这套吃得死死的。这群人估计和现在那些“爱看电视里播ICE(移民执法局)突袭”的人是同一拨。这些新兵里,大部分人还没在当地待够时间拍几张像上面那哥们儿一样的照片,要么就被认定不合格打发回家,要么就自己溜了。

Cracker is a term in America that primarily black people use as a derogatory term for white people. It comes from whip cracking.
Was Rhodesia better run than Zimbabwe? Possibly. But one would have to be deluded beyond reason to believe that Black Africans should have continued living as second-class citizens in their own land. Rhodesia is gone—and rightfully so. We can (and should) criticize how ZANU has mismanaged the country, but that doesn't mean the racist regime it replaced was in any way better.
Nazis trying to normalize their white supremacist bullshit with this Rhodesia garbage. We see you.
一群纳粹在这拿罗得西亚那套垃圾试图合理化他们的白人至上主义狗屁言论。我们都看着呢。

I can’t imagine being willing to die for “Rhodesia.” Just go home to England and listen to the Beetles while drinking tea, old chap. Editing to add an alternative statement - “Imagine being willing to die to hold on to the property your mommy and daddy stole and to keep people enslaved.” Love the downvotes. Enjoy your Sunday weeping for a slave colony that lasted a grand total of 14 years. I assume Monday is reserved for weeping over the Confederacy and Tuesday for Apartheid.
They weren't fighting to stay, they were fighting to maintain superiority over black people while exploiting them as cheap labor. There wouldn't be an effort to get the white colonizers out if they weren't there to rule over the natives rather than treat them as equals. Also a huge number of people fighting in the Rhodesian bush war were not Rhodesian. They used to advertise in American magazines. Just like the pro-apartheid terrorism a decade or two later, there were networks of recruits from connected right wing extremist organizations, from American KKK and Nazi party members to European fascist sympathisers. It was like the Spanish civil war, except the only foreigners joining were the fascists.
I don't know shit about this conflict but I do know that the guy in picture gives literally ZERO fucks... seems like he would not care whatsoever if he lives or dies in this photo. Wild
You are talking like war is a football match and he took a smoke break at half time and about to go into battle again
你这话说的,搞得战争像场足球赛似的,而他只是在中场休息抽了根烟,马上就要重回赛场了。

"Rhodesia" was a colonial project: those people basically tried to have an Apartheid state in the 1960's and 1970's. They rounded up black people as ~~cheap workers~~ slaves during the day, and parked them in ~~special villages~~ concentration camps at night. The belgian soldiers guarding the ~~special villages~~ concentration camps kept labelling any African trying to be free a "terrorist". And those idiots wonder why the Africans do not respect them! In their minds, they were protecting Africans from so-called "terrorists" (actual independantists). With a LOT of African people working at every possible job, and very few European colonizers to steal the profits (businessmen, farm owners, factory owners), the situation was unbearable, especially when every country around got rid of the Apartheid regimes and was more or less independant. So, of course, Rhodesia became a free state at some point and called itself Zimbabwe. If you want to see archive footage from Rhodesia, here's a belgian documentary about some of the last white farmers in Rhodesia. It's in French, and was filmed only a few years before this Apartheid bullshit collapsed. [https://www.sonuma.be/archive/rhodesie-les-croises-de-l\_empire](https://www.sonuma.be/archive/rhodesie-les-croises-de-l_empire)
Huh, this is one of the first pictures of a Rhodesian soldier that I’ve seen where they’re not wearing those doofy fucking shorts. Also, FALs are awesome, but they look dumb asf with that baby-puke camo the Rhodesians sprayed all over them….the comments are weird.
Whenever Rhodesia is mentioned and the details of Rhodesian atrocities are left out, its nearly certain the op is some sort of white supremicist. Such boutique racism you've got to be really tuned in to even be aware of it. Dylann Roof shit
I worked with an old dude that was part of this war ,Lt Alan Balson . We were building a gas plant in Fort Saskatchewan, Alberta. He told me some fucked up stories .
t. Redditors getting pissed off at non existent comments just to feel good about themselves. Nice photo, maybe someday the land will see stability and prosperity in our lifetimes
又是这套。Reddit 上的网友总喜欢对着根本不存在的评论自个儿在那儿破防,好让自己显得特别高尚。

Fuck this POS I lived in Zimbabwe during my childhood. Racist, cruel, condescending pieces of shit. I wonder how many innocent people he killed.
