@ItsDooby When you say that people are "literal Nazis" it makes you a literal idiot.

@cuchiminh7232 It isn't a fact. "Racist" isn't a quantifiable thing, it doesn't mean anything. It just means that you dislike what someone says but are unable to argue against it. If you want to criticize, you point out why someone is wrong. When you just say "RACIST", you sound like an idiot, and I stop listening.

@cuchiminh7232 Anyone who calls anyone else a "racist" is an idiot who isn't worth listening to.

Rhodesia was the breadbasket of Africa. Zimbabwe was always a dysfunctional shithole.

Robert Mugabe was exhibit A as to why colonial rule was better for Africa. It may not have been perfect by any means, but it sure beat what came after. And that one guy's name is almost Shithole. That would be appropriate, given where he's from.

@dshe8637 That's an entirely indefensible statement - unless you mean that Britain educated him and allowed him to become more than some backward savage on an anonymous farm somewhere in Africa. Britain was anti-socialist, anti-"pan African", and generally anti-ethnic cleansing. Mugabe was all of those things. It's true that with British rule, he was given an opportunity that he would not otherwise have had. But to blame that for his misrule is absurd. Like everywhere else in Africa, Rhodesia was a much better place under colonial rule.

He only avoided a firing squad by the grace of his American citizenship.

@susansinsua5583 I'm pretty sure they already did Idi Amin. And calling people RACIST makes you an idiot. Idi Amin was horrible, everyone knows that. His expulsion of Indians, and his treatment of whites and other ethnic minorities are a part of that. When you criticize someone, even a monster like Idi Amin, point out what they did wrong and why it was wrong. Calling it RACIST just means "I don't like it, but I can't explain why".
