Memorial crosses installed in Washington DC have revived erroneous claims of a ‘white genocide’ against farmers in South Africa, a narrative echoed by US President Donald Trump. South Africa’s government rejects the allegation as baseless, saying crime and violence affect people across all racial groups.

    If you ignore all the other killing going on South Africa and only focus on one group then sure, there’s definitely a genocide.

    I mean it’s not like South Africa averages 60 murders a day or anything… 38 were killed just in this week. Non of them on farms.

        The maga trash isn’t leaving office for a few decades. There is no blue wave. The republicans have full control. It’s over. Move, fight, or hold the fuck on.

          You’re getting downvoted an awful lot, but honestly, I think you’re right. Historically, when you have a authoritarian that gets voted into power like this, they don’t get voted out. That’s not the means of their being removed from power, like ever.

          I keep hoping this is some sort of special case and things are gonna turn around in this country, but the more I see, the less I believe that this is going to be some sort of magical special exceptional situation where that trend does not continue.

          I am still hopeful. Somewhat…
