If you want to find an historical parallel which involves Rhodesia, try the tale of George Armstrong Custer and the 7th Cavalry.
As best I can recall, Custer was (only) outnumbered 4 to 1 by various Indian tribes. The Rhodesians, on the other hand, were outnumbered by something like 22 to 1. The Rhodesians eventually gave up for the same reason Roberto Duran screamed
"no mas!" during his fight with Sugar Ray Leonard: people getting their ass whipped eventually want the pain to stop. When your racist buddies in South Africa look at you and tell you hat you're too fucked up for even them to support, you must be
really fucked up. Zimbabwe is a pretty fucked up place now, from what I've read. But it was always a fucked up place for the majority of the population there. This notion that it was some sort of heaven on earth is purely a fantasy.
Fiscally, I might compare California to Argentina in the late 70's/early 80's - just in how the government there has mismanaged the finances (with the help of the proposition voters). Socially, it is being overwhelmed by (illegal) immigrants. That's hurting them socially and fiscally. But I can't think of an historical parallel linking California to either Rhodesia or ancient Egypt (conquered by the Greeks and then by the Romans).
I think what meesterperfect is getting at (just a guess here based on his prior posts
), is that a White population is being pressed by a non-White population. I'm fairly certain that's why he brings up Rhodesia so much. It's that Egyptian link that I'm dying to hear. I could actually help him make a link to Rome in the mid to late period of the Empire that would probably work. But he's on his own with this Egyptian thing. :1orglaugh
