A 1986 survey in apartheid South Africa, 83% of whites said they would opt for continued white domination of the government if they had the choice.
In 1990, a survey of white Afrikaners found that just 2.2% were willing to accept a “universal franchise with majority rule”.

🧵 A story that you won't hear about even on Palestinian twitter because it pales in comparison to all the other horrors that Palestinians are facing on a daily basis. But this story happening in "the West" would lead to calls for investigations, resignations, fascism, etc.
Subterfuge: Forcing resignation of university president for failing to condemn non-existent “calls for genocide” of Jews - all while an actual US-supported genocide of Palestinians underway - is ALL about silencing criticism of Israel, and we ALL know it. https://t.co/32zM2SqsnX
The utter brutality inflicted on Gaza also means little attention paid to the West Bank where 53 Palestinians have been killed by settlers and soldiers over the past week and 4 Palestinian villages have been largely depopulated: al-Qanub, Wadi al-Sik, Ras al-Tein, and Ein Samya
For years, Palestinians have warned that the Gaza blockade, continued impoverishment, aggression, and fragmentation of their communities would eventually lead to an explosion — and here it is. It’s not surprising that it happened; what’s surprising is that it took this long.
An Embraer Legacy 600 Business Jet going by RA-02795 which is Registered to Leader of the Wagner PMC Group, Yevgeny Prigozhin has reportedly Crashed in the Tver Region of Russia to the Northwest of Moscow resulting in the Death of all 4 who were Onboard; it is currently Unknown if Prigozhin was on the Aircraft when it Crashed.
The progressive left (or at least segments of them) - those who claimed to be bastions of open-mindedness and exemplars of tolerance - have now categorically demonstrated they are just as racist, and prone to stereotypes, and guilty of the most basest form of slandering against Muslims, as the Far Right.
Just like the right accused all Muslims, and blamed the Quran, for every single terrorist attack, and smeared mainstream teachings of Islam after every 'jihadist' attack, and forced us to 'defend' our values any time some global incident happened, so too now we see icons of the left fall prey to the same crass and malevolent lies.
Apparently, for @sasa_ghada, to teach Quranic values of morality is inherently inciting violence, and hence any attack anywhere in the world (ironically even when not done by a Muslim!!) is directly linked to me preaching mainstream family values.
WE WILL NOT BE INTIMIDATED! I am rarely this blunt, but I cannot be quiet in the face of this smear campaign. Shame on you, Ghada, and all of those who profess our faith, to now resort to these exact tactics of the right.
This attack has nothing to do with me, or with the Quran, or with the teachings of our faith. I will continue to preach my faith, and I will not be asked to answer for each and every violence perpetrated in the world that has nothing to do with me, or my teachings (and in fact explicitly contradicts the message I constantly convey).
Sisters and brothers, exhibit A in how the 'progressive left' is simply the other side of the same coin as the bigoted, intolerant, racist right:
“I do not believe that [the shutdown] could have unfolded the way it did without Wagner’s role in propping up (Haftar’s forces) and projecting military power in the areas around the oil facilities.”
