I'm generally sympathetic to the whole Rhodesia thing, but these incessant Rhodieboo threads have really gotten out of hand these last few months.

I'm actually Rhodesian and holy shit fuck off the country was never that great

>mfw i'll never be a brown job in the RLI

Anyone else here waiting for the day Mugabe dies and talking about Rhodesia becomes relevant?

Why do rhodiboos feel so much attachment to a country they didn't belong to?

It was sort of a bastion of hope in Africa. Anti-communist, successful, and free. If they won the war, Africa would be that bit more habitable.

It was a bastion of fucking idiots. They had multiple chances to amend the constitution and offer the blacks some actual buy-in but instead kept them powerless. Of fucking course they became communist, because communism offered them the chance to run their own fucking country.

Rhodieboos also forget that the country's vaunted economy fucking imploded by the start of the 1970s because ZANLA/ZANU had terrorized the agricultural regions into submission.

Woah, no way

There's a reason Rhodesia declared independence, and because giving blacks majority rule instantly would destroy the country instantly.

When you give people with no experience in politics the right to vote, they typically vote for retarded shit.

If Rhodesia was to stay on the track it was on pre-war, blacks would've been taught how to self-govern over time. Blacks were already involved in government (see the 1970 election) after the UDI.

The only reason Rhodesia was doomed was because of black communism.

They never made any material progress to enfranchising blacks after UDI. They kept promising but nothing came of it.

Meanwhile RLI and the Scouts kept doing le funny meme interrogations out in the security zones which made most blacks see them as no better than the ZANLAs who did the same thing.
