Was Rhodesia really as good as it's made out to be or is

If it was so good, it would still exist.

>>1644478
>Won militarily
They lost you know, they were demoralized and didn't have the means to continue to fight

>>1644478
They sucked militarily too, my grandfather was from some African country deployed by the Gov as SpecOps to help out the rebels, and they literally were retarded, like they're parents drank lead or something.
He was also a neutral journalist in Nam, and he said they fought like an even more retarded version of the ARVN.
Pants on head stupidity like killing all of your allies cows, and leaving your helicopters (using helicopters at all) unguarded in hostile regions.

I mean good in terms of overall quality of life for its citizens

They deserve their place as /pol/ martyrs because they were the first victims of progressive multiculti thinking. Completely betrayed by London and the West.

They deserve their place as heroes on /k/ because of their FALs and great shorts. Also the song Roland the Headless Thompson Gunner is an old favourite.

>they deserve their place because edgy teens like them

>>1644606
Actually it was they deserve to be liked by edgy teens.

They were quite complex sentences for a nonNative speaker tho.

>>1644478
Yes it was good. Highest standard of living for Africans. BTFO out of communist guerrilas. Their military was VOLUNTEERS and mostly black.

>>1644478
From what I read, this Country had the makings of an African Regional Power. To bad them African went full ape shit and missed out on (What could of been one of the most Prosperous African Nations.)

And Let me Clarify, I'm not white or Black

To me Colonization was the best thing that could of happened to my people. It advanced us at least 3 centuries into the future in technology, legalism , infrastructure, and Culture. Honestly being colonized by a white nation is a a god send, unlike the nation that were colonized by the Ottoman Empire, nothing improved in the Middle East or North Africa.

No you are white. Or a cuck.

I'm a white person and my country was colonised by a white empire

We lost our language, legal system, dress, our customs, and our entire way of life. our country was split in half and we still haven't got it back together.

but hey at least we got some pretty buildings out of it haha :^)

I guess i'm a Cuck because i'm not Anglo or African.

*Cough* Spanish Rape baby.

>>1644916
So only whites or cucks can recognize the positive effects of European colonies? If it want for Europeans. I wouldn't be typing this right now. Nor have a written language.

started out as a forced labour diamond mine owned by cecil RHODES. Highly racist, Africans being less then human and all that thus morally justifiably exploited. Did bring infrastructure and all that but the railway was never finished between Cape Town & Egypt and didn't need to be due to contested anglo hegemony in the atlantic/oceans since Britain ruled all the worlds seas to this day.

Good on em for giving it a go. Think of it as a failed Israel state except its whites not jews and Africa not the levant-mideast-mesopotamia-anatolia etc.

The part of the railway that wasn't completed was between Uganda & Sudan.

http://eskify.com/10-amazing-cecil-rhodes-facts/

Guy had a monopoly on the world diamond trade out of the kimberlies and it frankly wasn't worth the cost of keeping the territory at the time it was lost in 1972 due to its history and the deed of resource excavation mostly done comparitively to the cost of starting some 1970s purge of the natives through africa in a mass democratised highly reported western media orientated world view & public opinion!

>If he was so good he would have survived the grenade we threw at him

I am a non-white and I love the redpilled white man for bringing my country to civilization. As a non-white, I can non-biasedly say that /pol/ is right 100%.

>>1644916
>Or a cuck
I don't think you know what that word means. /pol/ isn't entitled to modify definitions.

Fuck off prescriptivist honkey

>>1644898

Stop blaming Africans as a whole for the demise of Rhodesia, there were plenty of black Rhodie troops (actually the fucking majority of the military was black).

>>1644918
How can they really be your language, legal system, dress, customs, or way of life if you were born long after they went out of fashion?

I'm Irish too and getting taken over by the Brits was (unfortunately) the best thing that ever happened to us. They were right about us. We can't govern ourselves. The most disgustingly corrupt goverments this side of Africa

Rhodesia was in fact really as good as it was made out to be.

A very good comparison would be the USA, except USA was large enough to resist foreign incursions when it was created, while Rhodesia was just one nation against the rest of the world.

Is there anything good for someone wanting to find out how life was for blacks in Rhodesia?

Would it be correct to say the Bush war was less about blacks vs whites and more whites with allied black "tribes" against other "black" tribes?

>>1650110
Which don't happen.

If it isn't just a white supremacist thing then why does nobody care about the Asians getting kicked out of Uganda? Quite similar in many ways to the minority white farmers in rhodesia being the backbone of the economy as the Ugandan asians were the backbone of their economy

>>1644478
I don't get why Stormfags like this country when Blacks actually had a fairly large amount of rights when compared with South Africa and were pretty much betrayed by the same country.

>>1652099
>I don't get why Stormfags like this country

Because there was an even smaller proportion of whites than in South Africa who controlled most of the wealth and governed the country

Not sure why its hard to understand how white supremacists would like that?

As usual the plebs are to blame. I sometimes think Adolf was right when he described the British working class as subhuman.
