Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

We already have one in the US that is doing just that
Because that's what amerikkka is all about.
I suspect that Trump offering asylum to Afrikaners has more to do with USA being pissed at SA for the Gaza case than him thinking there is a "South African Genocide". He's just trying to stir the pot but generally South Africans don't take this seriously. Some people on here though...
It's a way of getting more fascists into the country.
I’ve got white children, they’re at the bottom of the hiring list here. So, there is no future for them. And the sad thing is they don’t even know what apartheid is.
If your children are old enough to work, and they don't even know about your country's most pressing issue that only ended like 30 years ago, then no wonder they're at the bottom of the hiring list.
They're ignorant fucks! Lol
I mean... he didn't say they are at the bottom because they are white.
Maybe they are at the bottom of the list because they are dumb as rocks, and happen to be white. And he knows being dumb in America is no impediment, so he wants the asylum.
I mean, that's probably not what they're implying.
I read that as "when my kids who have never experienced the reality of apartheid grow up, they will be discriminated against because they are white"
The article is FULL of little bits like that to make them sound like reasonable people just trying to live. Thankfully the article also provides contrary evidence: 9.2% unemployment rate.
Rich afrikaners who are upset apartheid is gone and they now have to be treated like normal people bitching about how they now have to actually earn jobs instead of being handed one for being white, and they still have the majority of jobs.
imo, you read that with a positive interpretation.
If they were saying that, they should've said that their kids "never experienced it" or "never participated in it" or "didn't live through it".
But instead, they said their kids "don't know what apartheid is".
If they misspoke, fine. But I don't know with certainty that they meant what you said. I think they might've meant what they said.
wierd how they dint try to expel all the whites from africa after it ended.
Zimbabwe did that and it crashed their economy. And all the land ended up in the hands of Mugabe's cronies. The South Africans learned from that.
“I’ve got white children, they’re at the bottom of the hiring list here. So, there is no future for them. And the sad thing is they don’t even know what apartheid is.”
Maybe you should educate them about history and then there can be a move towards reconciliation that’s helps reduce racial violence?
Non-whites have 4x the employment rate and whites are whining about not being on hiring lists? And are they aware that Trump was partially elected because of people here not wanting them competing for same jobs?
What a mess we've made of our species
I am not defending it but their population metrics are crazy. They have 80% black africans from different tribes. While white people account for only 7.3% of the population. It seems more like a failure of their government than the fault of any particular race here.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethnic_groups_in_South_Africa
What are you suggesting is a crazy metric?
What do you see as a failure? Specifically, what are you not defending?
I'm not sure what correlation is obvious, but I'm missing it.
Fuck me I don't want these fuckers here.
We don’t need more Nazis
We have got to revoke their refugee status after this administration. This isn't remotely valid claims.
If there even is an "after this administration", that is. I have my doubts tbh..
Nothing lasts forever.
"Changes aren't permanent, though change is"
There always is. Everything in life is only temporary ...
https://erinfongstudio.com/products/free-digital-download-of-the-fight-fascism-zine or "40 ways to fight fascism" or "don't just do nothing" are good zines about how we can ensure there isan "after this administration"
You still have to give all your info to download the free zine
That's why I included other options :) but +1 to fake info idea
You have to give info, it doesn't have to be yours.
I'll check out the link when I have downtime. Thanks for sharing and stay strong, friend!
Trump's main minion Elon is behind these whispers into Trump's ear about his bringing over his "ilk".
also to whisper you pooped yourself again.
Who's land will they be stealing? All the land in America is already stolen by other White people.
Any bets on how quickly these folks are fast tracked to Green Card status?
Knowing him he'll probably allow them to get on that "Gold Card" track without the money as a show of "combating the horrible racial injustice" in South Africa.
Every accusation is a confession after all. So it would be very on brand for them to fast track granting these people status that allows them to vote so now they'll be the ones with the "millions of illegals voting" for them.
Is there a slur for white South Africans or do I need to make one?
Die Antwoord.
Zef
How come they say Afrikaners instead of Africans?
Dang, they really wanted to separate themselves from the people they were colonizing.
They kept themselves apart, in their own hood.
Because it has a very specific meaning.
White pride?
they are orange
Owen Wilson is looking rough these days.
When a major political party has rallies with chants such as “shoot to kill, kill the Boer, kill the farmer”…
I’d say refugee status is appropriate.
There aren't white farm workers in South Africa. Only black Africans are doing farm labor. So who is the 'white farmer'? What does it mean? It's the farm owner who gets all the product of the African farm labor and gives next to none of it to the farm laborers. Don't try and condemn something you don't understand.
A major political party with thousands of followers threatening to kill you is pretty simple understand.
