There's the old question, "what if they tried to start a war but nobody showed up?" I think the point of basic training is to winnow out anyone with real independence and virtue so only the obedient remain. Of course, every nation has its nationalist propaganda on education and the media further clouding the issue for all but the most inquisitive. It's s trange how everyone in power seems to be trying their hardest to turn Ukraine into World War 3.
As for power outages, we have trees fall on power lines every now and again with winter snow or summer storms, but electricity is otherwise reliable. One would think a country with South Africa's industry and mineral wealth would have a thriving economy with robust infrastructure, but political plunder always diverts wealth into the coffers of the corrupt. The UK plunders its colonies, too, for another layer of historical losses.
Is there any remnant of Boer or Zulu warrior spirit to fend off domestic tyrants or foreign invaders?
Laughs, well I can say for a fact that most of the country wont be showing up. If anyone is able to read between the lines we are actually more of a communist state than anything else. But let them eat at their fruit tree without watering it, it's not like the majority of the country really has any notion of what is really going on.
I say fuck it, I know how to work hard. I'll always have bread at my table.
Yeah the power outage situation is getting very problematic and when the system collapses, well that would be a problem of it's own. But I think it's all planned, they are sabotaging the power stations and such and the information they spread about why and what happened is all lies to be honest. I can spit out more stuff but I don't have the mood for that now 😂 after all everyday is just filled with more declining anyways.
Yeah that last sentence is very sensitive. There is to be honest but most Boer's in the country are to afraid to do or say anything, in fact if you're white and you so much as farts in their direction you'd go to jail. The Zulu's well they want to do something but they don't, there was talks a few years back that the Zulu king is going to try and set things right but who really knows.
It's one colossal fuck up to be blunt.
Ten years ago, the ZAR/USD was R9.80 for one dollar. at the time of writing this it's R19.66 for one dollar. To think there was a time when the Rand was stronger than the dollar, however short it may have been.

I claim no knowledge of South African history beyond that both fought the British, and I feel about the British Empire the way I feel about the New York Yankees in baseball: my instinct is always to cheer for their opposition.
