that first tweet does seem fair though. that "reallifelore" channel is hot garbage and though i dont know anything about namibia i fully believe that video is 97% waffling about bullshit
I don’t know a lot about Namibia either.
Confidently believing the first answer that comes to mind, when a question is posed, is the height of polisci intellect.
Why, if Namibia is so inhospitable, did the Germans try to colonize it? Why are other deserts relatively populous? Israel for example supports a huge population. Hell even Las Vegas has like 1/4 of Namibia’s population by itself.
Germans didn't just try to colonize it, but genocided hundreds of thousands of people there and the best agricultural land is still owned by settlers until this day and demanded as restitutions by the descendents of the genocide survivors, which may or may not be a reason why German think tanks are running anti-postcolonialism psyops.
