Summary
Donald Trump signed an executive order prioritizing U.S. resettlement of white South African Afrikaners, claiming they face “government-sponsored race-based discrimination.”
The order also halts U.S. aid to South Africa, much of which supports AIDS programs.
Trump accused the South African government of land seizures and discriminatory policies, though officials deny these claims.
The move marks a reversal of Trump’s prior refugee restrictions and is seen as aligning with right-wing narratives on South Africa.
From over here in Europe, I’m just hoping that the US government disintegrates entirely from internal strife, before they consolidate into a unified force that decides colonization was a great idea, but let’s UNO reverse it.
Unfortunately, fascists don’t tend to do that. If there is a benefit to embracing the concept of might makes right it’s that the bootlickers don’t really mind when the Night of Long Knives stuff happens, they simply view it as the strong proving their strength and thus rightness.
This descent into fascism won’t be stopped without a civil war, and quite frankly I don’t think the circumstances exist for it yet.
