Curious of your statement, as it not being the first time I’ve heard something like this, I looked for more information. This article seems to sum up the factual consensus pretty well.

Afrikaners, the descendants of Dutch settlers in South Africa, codified the nation’s apartheid racial segregation system in 1948 and subsequently subjected the country’s Black population to mass evictions and brutal segregation.

White South Africans, as the end of apartheid neared in the early 1990s, owned the vast majority of the nation’s land. Even decades after the end of the apartheid system, white South Africans still own more than 70 percent of the country’s agricultural land, despite making up less than 10 percent of the overall population. The government’s efforts at land redistribution — including a new January land reform law — are designed to address this disparity.

In his February order, Trump claimed that Afrikaners were “escaping government-sponsored race-based discrimination,” as well as “racially discriminatory property confiscation,” and demanded that U.S. officials draft plans to provide relief, including refugee resettlement, to Afrikaners.

Afrikaners have been vocal supporters of Trump, and Musk, who grew up in South Africa under apartheid, has been a vocal opponent of what he calls “racist ownership laws,” in the country. Musk is not himself Afrikaner but descended from more recent British and Canadian white settlers in the country.

Musk has also been vocal about alleged violence against white South African farmers, claiming in 2023 that “they are actually killing white farmers every day.” The country’s courts have found that such claims are baseless.

From what affliction are these people seeking refuge?

Most frustrating thing is it doesn’t just delete the OP and hide the link but it nukes the entire thread and all replies.

There was a great thread yesterday about music with tons of recommendations that I saved to look at later only to find that it was deleted this morning and everything’s gone. It’s such a waste. Why even participate if it’s just going to be deleted like this?

I’m browsing via FF (fork) + Android + PWA right now. No extensions. ?

Hi Doctor Nick!

Haven’t seen part two, but the fuck is that? Ugh.

I was at the Dr office Monday. While in the waiting room, at full volume, everyone experienced:

“Hello Moto” “Hello Moto” “Hello Moto” “Hello Moto” “Hello Moto”

Besides the workhorse knives (the tools most used have to be of good quality), my favorite misc item is a Rosle bar spoon I got 20 years ago. It’s more a proper spoon shape than other bar spoons, with a bowl shaped spoon and straight handle, and it’s like 12 inches long. I use it at least a few times a week.

Sadly long discontinued, and I can’t even find a picture online anymore.

I’ve found it less and less useful over the years.
