Tribalism is not when you colonize a country and terrorize the former residents from centuries. Tribalism is when your multi-racial coalition pens a song expressing their rage at said terror. I understand now, priors updated.


Are you familiar with South Africa?

There's at least a dozen different tribes, of which only two are white. There's been inter-tribal violence between all of them since time immemorial leading up to today.


Are you?

Because I don't know a single South African who would describe historical intertribal violence and Dutch colonialism and apartheid as basically the same thing.


Your argument was "there's no tribalism except what the whites brought to South Africa", remember?

And elsewhere you say that because of this, violence against white South Africans are justified.

This is not only insane, but simply historically incorrect. I'm going to stop replying to you now (apparently there's a "HN Blocklist" Chrome addon!) but feel free to keep justifying calls for political and ethnic violence.

It should make interesting reading for others in the decades to come.

The apartheid fans are not bringing their best I'm afraid.

Oh believe me, they are.
