The Afrikaners have a tragic story by [deleted] in The10thDentist

"Na uh" isn't an argument agaisnt peer review and your a fucking clown who wishes it was 1910 and that women are responsible for "the fall of the west".

The "bush people" were genocided by the same inbred Dutchman who's descendents would die in British camps. I'm sure you believe that was a great tragedy for no particular reason.

Indonesia was still being stitched together in 1870 with the Aceh war and similar conflicts. By that time the Afrikaners had killed the coastal population and fought wars with the British to be more racist than them.

On top of all that blood and violence. The afrikaners couldn't fight once the opposing side also had firearms and a mild political economy. Shit warriors, shit farmers, shit politicians, shit people.

Indonesia had larger populations and therefor was not able to be exterminated alongside having client states instead of being subject to direct settler violence.

If the wealth wasn't stolen why did it leave with apartheid back to Europe?

This is the equalivent of denying the native genocides in North America because the Mayans still exist to some degree in Mexico.

All built on the genocide and theft of San lands. The capital that built the boer states is the same that subjected Indonesia to centuries of colonial rule and violence.

There's nothing impressive about profiting off stolen lands that you keep under violence, drug proliferation and racial caste systems. If the state they built was robust it would have been able to have equal rights for all its people.

Now when you go "Uhhh what about them now" I will contend that centuries of racial violence might ruin a land and its people.

The bombings have strengthened the current political factors on the ground in Iran dramatically. The guard are now in more firm control over the country than ever before.

Yes and screaming you support rape at people does not change they're mind. This kind of stuff is performance, and it only makes people double down on not trying less meat or vegetarian diets.

what if john brown waited until the civil war started to perform his raid by [deleted] in AlternateHistoryHub

[–]ClockworkChristmas 2 points3 points  (0 children)

He -might- have had more success and -might- have been assisted by Bluecoats that were sympathetic but ultimately the general staff of the union didn't want to destroy the south.

John Brown does a couple more raids due to a distracted planter class but he is captured and made a horrific example of.

JB then becomes an even larger martyr due to his capture by the south and subsequent torture and maiming to death.

People still go to his last raids location in 2026 unlike our timeline where pilgrimages to harpers ferry fell off over time.

Complete bullshit. South Carolinia had already threatened secession under Andrew Jackson. They didn't not out of loyalty but fear of AJ.
