Are there even enough trailer parks to house these people?

Do they "deserve a safe haven in the US" because people are rightfully cross with them where they’re currently residing?

I don't know these particular individuals but I've met my fair share of South African white supremacists and I believe they're just about the scariest ones. They genuinely see black people as subhuman animals. Like genuinely. They show each other clips of lynchings for amusement. And it's not just to be edgy. They're hateful beyond any comprehension. They also don't hide their beliefs at all. Idk if they're being sent over to bolster the brownshirt ranks but it's not good news at any rate.

Let's see what well-known controversial figure is from South Africa and seems to have a lot of influence or leverage over the president? Hmm.

This is the stupidest timeline.

The podcast Weird Little Guys just concluded a long series of episodes about the weird bullshit leading up to this.

At my last job we had a sales contact that lived in South Africa (he's white). At one point a few years ago he dropped off the radar, and we finally heard from him about 6 months later. He had picked up his family and moved to England. Left most of their possessions, abandoned the house, etc. He said things were getting too lawless and felt they had to leave immediately.

I also have a friend who's from South Africa (also white) who has most of her family back in South Africa, and the stories I hear are chilling. I don't know this, but it seems like things have been going downhill fast for the past 5 or 6 years now (faster than before).

Just what we need more Nazis.

[–] [email protected] 47 points 12 hours ago

Oh good they are going to import nazis now.

'refugees' fuck off

[–] [email protected] 17 points 11 hours ago

America will finally be the Germanic/Western European ethnostate it was always meant to be. No wonder the US and Israel are so alike, lol, they share the same DNA!

[–] [email protected] 10 points 10 hours ago

They’re not sending their best.

[–] [email protected] 23 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

Well. That isn't surprising. But it is disappointing.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 11 hours ago

New day, new disappointment.

They are probably going to experience some intense culture shock. They may be white on the outside, but old school white supremacists here don't take kindly to accents that identify you as an outsider, even if they are being used as pawns by one particular group of supremacists. 'Go back where you came from or else' is their rallying cry, even if you are born in the US.

Surprisingly, a lot of the white nationalist organs here in the US have VERY intimate contact with white national South African groups. I'm wondering how many of them are coming here to avoid getting caught in government dragnets in SA. Lots of the bombmaking know-how and quite a lot of weapons flowed into South Africa during the fight to keep apartheid from the 60s-90s (and now the fight to either topple the post-apartheid government or create a separatist state where they can institute apartheid), and much of THAT was supplied by contacts in the American KKK. Weird Little Guys did an incredible deep dive on the interlinking of the white nationalist movement internationally with white South African resistance to the ANC and the DeClerc and post-DeClerc governments.

So does Fat Don like immigrants or not? I’m confused.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 hours ago

He likes white skin.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 hours ago

But Nazis need necklaces. It's tradition!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 hours ago

Please don't give us any ideas.
