Err... what about the people in Haiti? Or everywhere else that's significantly worse than the WHITE part of south africa?
DEI, of course.
Ah, the white refugee grift never fails to amuse. Trump’s clown decree isn’t about “saving” anyone—it’s apartheid cosplay for fascist optics. Let’s resettle the platinum-tier colonizers who still think land theft is a flex. Meanwhile, actual refugees drown in red tape while these chucklefucks get VIP passes.
But hey, hypocrisy is the point. It’s a loyalty test: how blatantly can we rewrite oppression as victimhood before the bootlickers cheer? Spoiler: they’ll always cheer.
Elon’s drafting eviction notices for Black South Africans right now. History’s a flat circle, and the fascist playbook’s on loop.
The best part of this particular grift is that, unsurprisingly considering it's rapidly swirling around the toilet bowl, white South Africans don't want to resettle in the U.S.
Apparently whatever horrible, horrible cruelty they face in South Africa isn't actually cruel enough to seek asylum in America.
It's almost poetic, isn't it? The self-proclaimed victims of "reverse oppression" can't even muster the courage to follow through on their own grift. They'd rather cling to their crumbling privilege in South Africa than face the reality of being just another immigrant in a country that fetishizes "whiteness" but despises foreigners.
The irony is suffocating. They cry persecution, but the U.S. asylum system—designed to brutalize the desperate—doesn't even register their plight as legitimate. Maybe because it’s not. Their "suffering" pales next to the systemic violence they’ve upheld for generations.
It’s not that they don’t want to leave; it’s that they know they'd lose their pedestal elsewhere. No apartheid nostalgia tour can fix that.

Gee look at that a white South African plutocrat holds the reins and suddenly the architects of Apartheid are "refugees"
Amazing.
Illegal Africans? Send them back! Get the illegal Africans out of our country. Starting with FElon Musk!

What the fuck did I just read?
I have a feeling people will be saying that a lot over the next four years.
People will still be alive in four years?
We might get lucky…
This is so disconnected from the Afrikaners that they have largely rejected it.
They want the land. That's the point. It's a multi-generational fight to hold the land.
It's a lesson that should be learned about Gaza. It's not about quality of life, it's about the 3 most important points of any real estate deal: location, location, location.

For fascists, regular displays of hypocrisy are important, because that's the guarantee that the bad things they obviously plan to do won't be done to their supporters.
