I've spent a lifetime exploring this issue to try and understand (and survive) my family. If anyone wants to take their thinking on this beyond glib ignorant/disingenuous inanities, I can recommend the following, in order: The Scramble for Africa by Thomas Packenham, The State of Africa by Martin Meredith, Let Not My Country Die by Credo Mutwa, Revolution Deferred by Martin Murray, Unfinished Business by Terry Bell and Dumisa Bhule Ntsebeza

But those books must be bad because they've created your opinions.

Like third was saying the other day at least our old far right contingent used to read and prize learning. Vim used to read. Craner always read a bit. Different class of far right antagonists entirely.
Could someone put this in a voice note for me?

The literature produced by the left has deteriorated terribly as they succumb to a conveyor belt of derangement syndromes. If you want a mainstream person to take a leftist tack the best thing one can do is to hide any leftist literature. It's not uncommon that I think about something Trump has done, or something wrong with management of the environment, or some social problem but the moment I cast about for similar angles I come up against this wall of hysterical dumbness, irrationality, and conspiracy theorising that is the modern left and am dissuaded from taking things further. Because why would I want to get taken for people who are that stupid?

I read a lot. A LOT. And I've buried vim vuego in every debate I've had with him, even though my natural medium is standing up and bellowing at people sitting around a beer hall table.

No-one was allowed to leave until they conceded it's RHODESIA in ye olde Cheshire cheese last Saturday.

But I also do my bit, have a social conscience and so on. Why, only last week I hypothecated my national insurance to pay only, strictly exclusively, for thirdforms incontinence nurse.

You don't actually have to read much on the right; extant reality and the vital currents of all human history are present at all times and can be indicated with a nod or vague gesture. There's no gatekept obfuscation, the discourse is not buried amid dusty shelves in condemned libraries of 1960s polytechnics.
