Of course, apologists point to the subsequent regime of Mugabe (who I'm absolutely convinced did turn out to be a complete piece of shit) of why Rhodesia was in the right all along. However, this seems to me like an unfortunate accident of history (and an all too common example of bad replacing worse) than a valid reason to support a literal apartheid ethnostate.

Mhmm, an "accident" (but also an all too common example). "Once is happenstance. Twice is coincidence. The third time it's enemy action." -- by the time you start nooticing that there isn't a single example of "decolonization" that didn't result in a disaster, maybe you should stop treating all those "accidents of history" as accidents? Maybe it's more of a historical law, that this sort of revolution, running on nothing but "whitey bad" and encouraged by western leftoids, ends up spearheaded by scoundrels who then destroy everything?

Curtis Yarvin writes quite poignantly about it btw

Here, for example, is a Times story on the fight against malaria. Often, as with politicians, journ*lists speak the truth in a fit of absent-mindedness, when their real concern is something else. If you read the story, you might notice the same astounding graf that I did:

And the world changed. Before the 1960s, colonial governments and companies fought malaria because their officials often lived in remote outposts like Nigeria’s hill stations and Vietnam’s Marble Mountains. Independence movements led to freedom, but also often to civil war, poverty, corrupt government and the collapse of medical care.

Let’s focus on that last sentence. Independence movements led to freedom, but also often to civil war, poverty, corrupt government and the collapse of medical care.

I often find it useful to imagine that I’m an alien from the planet Jupiter. If I read this sentence, I would ask: what is this word freedom? What, exactly, does this writer mean by freedom? Especially in the context of civil war, poverty, and corrupt government?

What we see here is that independence movements—which the writer clearly believes are a good thing—led to some very concrete and very, very awful results, in addition to this curious abstraction—freedom. Clearly, whatever freedom means in this particular context, it’s such a great positive that even when you add it to civil war, poverty, corrupt government and the collapse of medical care, the result still exceeds zero.
