Zimbabwe is a shithole, but just how much better was it as Rhodesia?
>>27920249
In literally everyway it was better.
>>27920249
people at least had food and relative stability.
still had real shitty apartheid tho
But this is a board about weapons, mate. Please head on over to >>>/his/, no matter how shitty it may be, it's still the proper board to discuss these kind of topics.
>>27920263
That seems to be the unfortunate paradox. Stability = oppressing a significant part of the population. While morally I can't agree with that, giving them free reign has destroyed their country.
>>27920263
apartheid was still better, it was literally a matter of race butthurt
"Yes I know you keep me clothed and fed but that makes white people look competent!"
>>27920249
That webm isn't Rhodesia, those are Portuguese soldiers.
>>27920249
I've been there. It's really bad. You have to be extremely careful what you do and say in Harare or you will get v&.
Victoria falls was cool though.
Did they seriously run around firing from the hip like that? No wonder Rhodesia doesn't exist anymore.
>>27920313

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0060073/
>>27920351
Yes, a documentary.
>>27920249
Thats Congo
>>27920313
IIRC, its Mike Hoares boys, so not Rhodesia.
>>27920399
nah belgian troops are trained to aim for the hands
>>27920279
Most of the historic human population has been, and still is, living under some form of oppression regime.
Oppressive Rhodesia was objectively better than oppressive Zimbabwe in every meaningful way that I can think of.

Its actually British Mercenaries in the Congo, its from the 1966 Italian Documentary "Africa Addio"
>>27920263
apartheid only existed in SA
There was just unequal laws in rhodesia
>>27920249
This is from Portuguese Mozambique not from Rhodesia
>>27921379
Its from the Congo actually
>>27921389
No
Stop it.
>>27920295
V&
>what dis mean?
>>27920279
The real tragedy is that colonial oppression often limited indigenous development, so they had no idea how to run their own country once they overthrew their oppressors.

It means he's a virgin and you're a newfag.

Its Mike Hoares Mercenaries fighting in the Simba Rebellion http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=e29_1405845415&comments=1
>>27920263
rhodesia didn't have apartheid you mouth breathing retard
>>27920295
You've been to Zimbabwe or Rhodesia?
The whole RHODESIA WAS RAYYSISS meme is retarded. Yes, they were. But compared to every other white African country and even compared to the US at the time Rhodesia was much better.
You can't point the finger at one country and then completely ignore that at the same time period our own country was even worse.

>>27920469
Fuck off Rhodesia has always and will always be /k/ related

This reminds me:
>He and Creighton started singing the commando version of a Leonard Cohen hit song, their arms around each other's shoulders:
>'Goodbye to you, my trusted friends.
>We've known each other since you were in my sights
>I tried to teach you right from wrong...
>We had joy, we had fun, slotting floppies in the sun...'

>property and education requirements to vote or hold office
>free education
>disproportionately low black participation in goverment
I'm not quite sure how that is apartheid and not just africans refusing to be educated and work to accumulate wealth.

Both oil reserves.
Rhodesia was economically cut off from the rest of the world and still had a better economy than Zimbabwe.
It was the breadbasket of southern Africa as Rhodesia. As Zimbabwe they have risked famine several times.
