all about the jouissance

Musk and Thiel are the Spawn of Apartheid.

Thanks for that. I will read it. I wasn't aware that the Right were seizing on Rhodesia now. Ironically Mugabe could serve pretty much as the template for Trump's leadership style. I hope Mother Jones doesn't gloss over that.

If you want to see normally dispassionate historians and moderators descend into a thread and call out Rhodesia apologists as white supremacist bastards, this is a good read. A lot of historical facts, sources and vitriol. www.reddit.com/r/AskHistori...

I feel like Rhodesia is way more controversial than CSA. At least with CSA, people can pretend it’s about “heritage” or states rights or something. With Rhodesia, there is nothing else going on besides white supremacy, like they can’t even pretend

Successful Black president broke so many white guys' brains.

Haven't heard the term in a while, but back then Rhodesians were called "whenwe's" in South Africa ... as in 'when we lived in Rhodesia'.

Listening to this right now.

Yeah got a book by a south African air force pilot who served throughout the bush war the Rhodiesians would call the boers neanderthals which was not very smart when it was south africa keeping them in the fight...

elon is a nazi

I’d ask him if he was also a fan of Leopold II.

Yeah, it was basically a bunch of lower-middle class English gammons doing a Gone with the Wind larp

Quite a few white Zimbabweans where I grew up. As much as I teased my ex about being racist because it wound her up (her husband does exactly the same thing, hilariously), her parents didn't have any love for Ian Smith and would have returned to Zimbabwe if they still had a home.

And their little booty shorts

Disgusting

What fresh 🐀 hell is this?

White South African here. I know several ex-Rhodesians, or, as they're usually called in these parts, "when-we's". "When we were in Rhodesia, x, y z..." I doubt very much that these regurgitators of racism mention the high levels of PTSD, anger, and so on, among that community.

The SA Apartheid Flag is also used by Rhodesia flag types. www.theguardian.com/world/2015/j...

Every time I hear some dork praise this failed state I think of Robert Shaw electrocuting himself in The Taking of Pelham One Two Three.

I remember meeting someone who was born in Rhodesia. It came up in a conversation among a bunch of coworkers "Oh wow you're from Africa? Like South Africa?" "No, Zimbabwe but it was Rhodesia back then." Everyone else "Oh wow, neat!" Me: 😬

Reminding me of the one time I met a Furry that was a huge fan of Rhodesia. They were as weird as you'd think.

Remember when all we used incognito mode for was porn? Now it's like "looking up the SS motto, don't judge me or give me ads"

it's a clear and unambiguous statement of values and those values are Very Bad

Got a book by a guy who was in the south African military, they helped the Rhodisians clandestinely and they were racist towards the south Africans!

Ugh. Maybe that's where I came across it first. That, or it came up when I was looking at some of these accounts. I think there is a whole genre now in the spirit of The Turner Diaries.

It doesn't help when you're a landlocked country surrounded on three sides by other countries who *checks notes* hate you.

I saw a U.S.S. Rhodesia in one of the social areas in Star Trek Online and I couldn't put that dude in Ignore fast enough. WTAF.

On social platforms I help run, Rhodesia fan is on the short list for "ban on sight"

this is not entirely fair—Mike Collins *owns* a trucking company

a bad re-run, this madhouse be.

Ain't none of those chuds sticking around for the whole 8 hours.

Ossoff is hereby vindicated

Some us know EXACTLY what you mean when you invoke Rhodesia. Not “you”, but the general you. The fascist racist colonial “you”.

the mother jones article seems very poorly researched even a few seconds on google shows you, as I remembered that Reagan was a Rhodesian supporter and this was common on the GOP since then

Zimbabwean here. I still remember seeing that patch on pics of the mass shooter of the black church. I won't write his name... and it gave me chills that someone that young, with no connection to the country, had gotten into "Rhodesia" content.

And every one of them flunked out of the police academy.

The link to Mike Collin’s X account with his posts on Trump and the out of context Blood Diamond movie meme are shocking enough, but his lunatic replies are just outright eliminationist. Not everyone in this country is so murderous, but it will be enough to destroy us if we let it.

I've had the displeasure in knowing pro israel, pro russia, trump cultist, former rhodesian terrorist who was welcomed back into this country after helping wage war against the oppressed black majority.

Rhodesia fanbois should all get necklaces....
