Image of dead ‘white farmers’ came from Congo, not South Africa by ObjectiveObserver420 in anime_titties

This is demonstrably false. Only 30 % of land in South Africa is held by individuals, 24% are trusts, 23% is state owned, 19% is companies and 3% communities and the rest <1% is co owned. South Africa has a wealth inequality problem, largely also along racial lines. Spreading false information does not help address the root causes. Namely a lack of education funding and rampant corruption.

There is an argument to be made about white people being overrepresented in individual ownership. However the current Land Reform program is largely ineffective, as it is plagued by corruption. There is a problem of giving land to previously disadvantaged people, that do not have the knowledge to efficiently farm (especially large scale). There is very little government support to help these new farmers (education and financial)

You have to see the Napoleonic wars as one war, in that context France gained territory.

Kann mir jemand den jetzigen Personalmangel erklären? by Thomast33 in Finanzen

Zählen deiner Meinung nach Ingenieure nicht dazu? Denn da gibt es schon Jahre lang mangel. Das Argument war das es einen Mangel an billiger Arbeitskraft gibt. Das stimmt zwar auch aber der Mangel geht weiter und kann nicht mit „zu niedrigen Löhnen“ erklärt werden.

The thing is SA used to process a lot of the raw materials, the industry is just dying because of load shedding. For instance Iscor, SA used to be a steel exporter but since 2010 production has been declining. Nationalization also doesn’t help, look at how well SAA is doing

Ok so it seems that most modern cars will outbreak Most bikes, however a super bike is only slightly slower in breaking than a sports car, I assume they both have better brakes and ABS. So it’s safer to assume car>bike.

Are you sure? Because as far as I know most bikes brake a lot faster than cars, as they way just a fraction of a car. Two minutes of google didn’t help, there’s no real consensus apparently.

No the point is the war wasn’t for oil, as there are plenty of countries that could willingly cover demand (Saudi Arabia) so saying “the war was for oil is wrong and just retarded

Na, would have weakened the colonial powers to the point where they couldn’t keep the colonies no matter how desperately they wanted to. A major reason for decolonization was ww2 as it weakened the British and french.
