Hi Reggie B... I tried to link you into a private message but it wouldn't let me... Anyway...
True, true, true... All true as usual from the wise man Reg. Im really astonished at how it seems most of society has conformed to relinquishing themselves to the state... The lessons of 20th-century authoritarian regimes should still be a fresh lesson in everyone's minds.
My Parents immigrated from a little-known fascist country, Portugal.
Antonio Salazar was the autocrat that dictated the nation from 1932 to 1968...
They tell me about people just disappearing or being found dead. How they were afraid to speak their minds in a public area.
The undercover secret police would be up in the bars, at the festivals, and even at church trying to find anyone who spoke badly of the regime.
I believe they were the last totalitarian regime in Europe and the last country to still have colonies in Africa. The natives were fighting back so every boy who turned 18 was sent to the wars in Africa during the 50s and 60s.
There is a division amongst the Portuguese of that era. Some loved Salazar and proudly went to war... The rest loathed Salazar, the men would skip country before turning 18 to avoid going to war for him. Sneaking over the border into Spain and/or the rest of Europe was a popular route.
Another route was to fly to Mozambique legally cos it was a Portuguese colony, then sneak into South Africa.
My dad knew people there so that's what he did... Lived there for about 10 years before coming here...
He's a wise old man that has seen a lot and did it tough. Grew up in a strict autocratic state, then spent 10 years in the most racist society on earth at the time, South Africa during the apartheid which I'm sure u know about... Full segregation. U can't come into my hood unless u have a pass. U can't catch this bus or use these bathrooms or drink from this fountain. Man, people have no idea what racism is these days, your racist if you haven't employed a person of colour now. My dad had workmates that were black but could never socialize or eat together. Black people needed a special permit to work in that area during that time.
We're living in the most non-racist period in human history yet the apparent indignation is louder than ever before.
The social justice warriors are just nauseating but I know I have to get used to it or something cos its only getting worse with this generation coming through
My wife hates anyone private messaging too me, so I had to stop all such, because she would have a spac attack every time.
I would love to have people do so in private myself, but my wife has so many messages her self that just clutters up so much room, I do not bother to read her stuff at all, but she has to read anything that comes in too me and that takes up to much of her time.
Yes I know people from South Africa who came here and all their story's, black ones as well and most that I know well who are white have a spook in their ancestry blood line.
The new age SJW etc etc are all on track to creating a world that is dominated by such insane shocking total bigots as themselves. funny thing that they are ranting on and on about, is that they demand that all such must follow their lead to the letter or else they will use their love affair as to their god idol malice to undermine all who they oppose. it's insane ! what shallow total morons they are and not to mention they claim they have been offended justify their malice.
So being offended is a right to passage to use malice is it ? Bigots are people who will not listen to reason.
What If went about justifying myself with malice too everyone who offends me ? I would of never had a job for a start as I got offended every day not only that but people would try and take advantage of me, not to mention try to rip me off and they did at times and there was nothing that I could do about it as it's just part and parcel of the Trade. so as for offending me such was like water off a ducks back, I was watching out that I did get payed hopefully.
If someone played the race card on me I could not give a rats, in fact I would turn to them and say I agree with them and I will tell such even something more about what is wrong such as them.
My bother came home to me from the Darwin Casino saying some clown said to him dribble about our mum, I said that I would turn it around on clowns like that and just say, I am sorry to hear that about his own mother ? fact is the clown has not a clue who my mum is at all anyway. in fact my mum would put someone like that on his tail as she had a black belt before I was born and even tossed my dad on his tail and a few of his mates as well. You get morons like that, that just try to wind you up because they are jealous or what ever their problem is.
Were my brother works all are black fellers and they all think that he is a part black feller as well, no he is just tanned from working outside and they are all younger than him and he speaks his mind openly to them all.
I love people who are straight up and honest and speak their mind even if they are crude or wrong, I can respect that of someone, I don't demand that all must believe or do as I say or want them to be ? look every friend that I know I may not like everything about them but I don't disrespect them for their point of views, but they have other quality's that I may admire about them. I may even love the idiots but we do not see eye to eye on everything.
