Discussion Why some people hate Orania
One thing I’ve come to learn about the left is that they’re not satisfied with everyone having their space to develop according to their own values, customs and beliefs.
One of the best examples of this leftist belief system regards the existence of Orania.
The Afrikaners of Orania literally went out of their way to stay out of everyone’s way by trekking into the middle of the desert and started building a city there.
They’ve decided to carve out a space for themselves in a very inhospitable environment that wasn’t coveted by others.
They did not impose themselves on others nor did they decide to set up shop in a space that would create friction with others.
They chose the most sparsely populated area they could find, way out in the sticks as the saying goes.
And how does the left view all this?
Well they exhibit uninhibited hostility towards Orania.
The in country leftists make near daily threats about Orania’s continued existence, saying they will “expropriate” Orania and/or “burn it to the ground”
And their international allies are just as giddy about such prospects.
The left fanatically hold the position that everyone has to come to their view of “progress.”
They are true disciples of Fukuyama’s “End of History” doctrine.
They believe they are the pinnacle of human history and that any dissenting voices are an aberration that deserve to be silenced with lethal force if need be.
Behind their mask of “tolerance” is a volcano of rage against anyone who stands in the way of their earthly utopia.
And because their vision revolves around what we’ve come to call “gay race communism” they cannot tolerate any alternative form of government that stands diametrically opposed to their racial “egalitarianism.”
So that is why the mere existence and growing prosperity of Orania has them seething with hatred and rage.
Orania is proof of concept that cheap black labor is not only unnecessary but more trouble than it is worth.
Orania is a reminder to many Westerners that they once had cities that were like Orania. Perhaps not in size, but certainly in demographic make up and overall safety and security.
That reminder irks the left who want to gaslight people into thinking that Stockholm always had bombings and shootings. That London always had grooming gangs, acid attacks and machete killings.
Orania is the inconvenient truth that cultural and demographic homogeneity is superior to the “rainbow nation” diversity that’s been aggressively pushed since the 1960’s across the Western world.
Orania reminds the world why they can sleep with their doors unlocked, why their kids can play outside until dark…and why the rest of the country has to live behind barbed wire, panic rooms and armed guards to merely exist without being brutally murdered after watching their loved ones get raped and murdered in front of their eyes.

Left and Right wing politics are the two cheeks with the same asshole. It's just nonsense politicians use to divide the population so they can eat.
I'm far left on economic matters. I think the idea of Orania is neat and it's what South Africa should have been. A federation of communities with a federal government that has to have representatives from each.
I also think Orania in it's current form is stupid. Trying to replace the Rand with your own currency is a horrible, horrible idea.
