Another beheading in France
All I know is anecdotal. My cousin, Charles Hart, who I played with when we were children, was killed on his farm a few months ago, and hacked to pieces. My brothers are nervous and so have bought seaside houses a couple of hours away, and will shortly be moving there. And they are getting rid of their dairy herds and changing to just grazing cattle for beef which takes less supervision.
No doubt you are comforted by the that your cousin is not evidence of the systematic killing of farmers but a merely nothing out of the normal occurrence of murder...Fangle wrote: ↑Tue Nov 03, 2020 4:19 pm All I know is anecdotal.

There were 10 times (10x) The amount of farm attacks in the first 6 months of 2020 than there were in the first 6 months of 2019.
Murder Stats are going down though....

That is truly fucking horrific Fangle. My deepest sympathies to your family and for that matter with all of SA in its multitude of racial issues.
However fucked up gangs of psychopaths committing horrible racially motivated murders is not genocide, as horrific as they are. I don't think for one instance that DAC or OS would consider a genocide to have occurred against Catholic Northern Irish in the late 70's and early 80's, yet acts such as those are exactly what the likes of the Shankill Butchers carried out.
Genocide is the organised and systematic extermination of a people. Even if you are to broaden that definition to the callous disregard for human life while profiteering off of their deaths (so as to include the likes of the Irish and Ukrainian famines in your definition) you would still be a million miles away from entering the ball park.
Add to that though the unquestioned association of White Genocide theories with the most fucked up white supremacist, extremely racist, neo-nazi fucking fucktards (which I don't for a second think DAC is unaware of) and you're dwelling in the utter depths that humanity has ever plunged into!
It's a racist rallying call - as I stated right when I started commenting on this - there's no fucking grey area with shit this extreme!

But then I have a Muslim wife so I'm probably committing white genocide or something.

You also earlier said you were thinking that it's not racist for saying that white farmers are seemingly being systematically killed. You hadn't acknowledged the fact that that's actually a bullshit assertion to begin with.

Here's what I said, see if you can spot the difference
Sorry if I’ve misunderstood this but are you saying that by DAC saying that white farmers are seemingly being systematically killed, ergo genocide, he is racist for saying so?

No apologism, that's in your head. I treat all religions with same degree of contempt.
I agree 100%.
Religion should be a highly personal thing that pertains to self discovery, self improvement and spiritual growth.
It should be an inward rather than outward thing.

There isn't complete proportionality. You are correct that it's a relatively similar rate to the general murder rate in SA, but the difference is that a high % of those murders are gang-related and between South Africans of the same race. Farmer murders are usually black people killing white people. Genocide is a very strong term that I wouldn't use, but there's a cross-racial element in these killings that isn't there in most cases.

Well if smoking, fast food and alcohol were only ideas they’d do no harm.
