I gave the time of your post. Why can't you answer the question? I am sure you will come back with some deflection, such as 'what was your question'. Edited by matt_himself (02 May 2017 10.59am) It has nothing to do with your lies. What you ascertain does not make sense, the post does not prove it, you need to build a coherent logical Currently, your volume of posting is exceeded only by the totality of your stupidity. Sorry get back under that bridge and wait for another billy goat. Edited by pefwin (02 May 2017 2.15pm)

Edited by pefwin (02 May 2017 2.15pm) I predicted you would dodge the question, what I should have done was also add that you would add a load of insults and, bizarrely, label me a troll. You are without a shadow of a doubt the strangest poster on here. Full of anger, hate, hypocrisy and self righteousness.

I don't think its enough to be different, you have to deliver on that. The subsequent persecution of white people out of employment in South Africa and Rhodesia simply delivered failure, because the issue was never really about white people just having the best jobs. The reason why White Farms prospered in Zimbabwe was the experience, knowledge and education disparity in farming between those who originally had the farms and those who then took them over. They had the skills, qualification and experience to do those jobs. The process of social change has to be graduated to practicality not to serve popularise and ideology. You can't replace oppression with a different form of oppression, and expect it to be any more successful. No matter how much you can blame the failure on the 'white guy'. Again, I very much agree with what you say here.

True enough. The exploitation of less advanced cultures has a lasting effect. Look how long it took Britain to get it's s*** together after the Romans. Edited by Hrolf The Ganger (02 May 2017 3.59pm)

Edited by Hrolf The Ganger (02 May 2017 3.59pm) I think its an inconvenient truth, because Europe was largely forged out of people murdering one another to f**k over things like Tribalism, nationalism and nationalistic nonsense of kings - Then came the age of Empire, which largely meant fighting less fortunate people, because the people we usually fought were getting a 'bit to tasty' - All of which culminated with the first world war (the war to end all wars), and the second world war (because we had to be sure about that statement). Since then, European peace has largely existed because the technological capacity for war and its consequences, even without nuclear weapons, is so horrific, that its self defeating. So we fight wars with nations far away that don't have that kind of capability. Because on some level, humans are c**ts and we like to f**k over people who are weaker than us.
