We don't like it. The rhodesia fanboism is from a very loud, autistic minority that thinks it speaks for /k/.

people like it to be edgy, in reality it was a white minority gov in the middle of Africa that, while not as bad as SA (or even the groups fighting them) was still not a great place. What makes them popular are operating in short shorts, wielding FALs and being the foremost experts on counterinsurgency operations (and winning most of the battles fought in that style).
tl;dr booty shorts and Belgian rifles

Homoeroticism, killing commies, and the whole world against a tiny nation that faced off soviet, cuban, chinese and regional power backed hostiles.

Selous Scouts
Aesthetic camp pattern
Edginess 'cause race issues
Not saying the Rhodies were right, but...
Zimbabwe was a mistake.
But mostly the short shorts.

Don't talk about racism. That's racist.

Zimbabwe-Rhodesia and Muzroewa's ANC coalition government with the RF are the unsung heroes

It was one of those few times in history when a man could wear short shorts, shoot commies and bushwack. It just appeals for the freedom and wildness of it all.

Even Ian loves Rhodesia.
The camo.
