Lived there for 14 years, 1981 - 1995, beautiful country, beautiful people, best memories. Had my 4 children there. We had nothing really, but it was wonderful and carefree. Sadly had to move back to the UK because of prices going up and no increase in wages for the last 4 years there. Came back with next to nothing, but so pleased we did because we could see the crime increasing rapidly in the last few years we were there. Still have friends from SA, they are a loyal and kind people, both black and white. So sad to see how bad it has got. Have friends who have left for their home countries, NZ, Canada, Australia, UK all over, just really, really sad and especially for those who cannot leave.
It used to be, in world affairs, that we could say, "Oh, that's THEIR problem." Now, it's like a global pandemic of psychopathology. We are used to saying, "Never again." But now we all are in a front row when "again" is brewing in front of us, only the "Juden" label has been replaced by the "Boer" label. What does "Never again" mean when it winds up being an empty slogan? Would it be more honest to say, "Yep, again and again---and we will watch in silence"?
It used to be a principle of legitimate government that "a government derives its just powers from the consent of the people." Genocide is not a "just power." Legitimacy ends when the majority "consent" to kill the minority. And with the end of legitimacy follows the end of sovereignty. Anyone has the right to intervene and stop this, just as anyone has the right to interrupt a gang fight and rescue the innocent from harm. (I've done this, years ago.)
Giving refuge to those who escape is cheap virtue. How useful is that if the government in power annuls the passports of all whites? Or arrests them at the border? I'm just watching the Third Reich all over again. The United Nations sits on its hands, to watch this travesty in approval. (Not that they are worth a damn. UN "peacekeeping" has a sour and ironic history.)

Correct on all counts.
