Zo ging dat 40 jaar geleden, verzoening tussen zwart en wit, slaaf en meester "het verleden overwinnen omdat het moet", en toen kwam #Blacklivesmatter

For Afrikaners, May 31 is also “Bittereinderdag”. (Bitter Ender Day)
It commemorates the Bittereinders during the final phase of the Second Boer War of Independence (1899–1902) who refused to surrender and fought to the “bitter end” for their independence, even when military victory seemed impossible.
Today we remember their perseverance until the end of the war with the signing of the Peace of Vereeniging (May 31, 1902). We also remember later Afrikaner milestones such as the Republic Day on May 31, 1961. May the bravery of the Bittereinders live on in our descendants.

‘In Zuid-Afrika vindt e/ culturele genocide tegen ons broedervolk plaats. Maar anti-blank #racisme bestaat officieel niet. Dus is er zogezegd niks aan de hand terwijl de omgekeerde #apartheid via positieve discriminatie blanken etnisch zuivert!’ @kslagmulder #OnsVirJouSuidAfrika

Orania-ism? Since the time of the Boers voluntarily contributions in security, school, church and community stood out as elements of a different type of society.

On 16 December we commemorate the Battle of #Bloedrivier, where faith, sacrifice, and divine right converged in the birth of the Boer people. (Afrikaners)

[Dutch Empire 🇳🇱 @RealDutchEmpire]

Op 16 Desember herdenk ons die Slag by #Bloedrivier, waar geloof, offer en goddelike reg saamgesmelt het tot die geboorte van die Boerevolk.

We built the VOC, sailed the entire world, created land from the sea, and invented the international legal system.

We were engineers, seafarers, merchants, and diplomats.

But when you ask the average Dutchman about his culture he answers something like:

'tolerance'
'cheese'
'chocolate flakes with breakfast'

A nation that forgot its own greatness.

The ANC thugs argued that the term ‘migration’ was also used during the apartheid era and that, therefore, the speaker was guilty of discrimination against black people, which, of course, is complete nonsense.

[Dutch Empire 🇳🇱 @RealDutchEmpire]

South Africa, the rainbow nation of national and inclusive debate, according to President Cyril Ramaphosa, where one gets dragged out of the city council by communist ANC thugs, simply for mentioning that an excess of migration can lead to housing shortages and increased crime…

LIVE NOW | President Cyril Ramaphosa says the stance taken by the US was influenced by a sustained campaign of disinformation by groups and individuals within South Africa, the US and around the world, adding that this is weakening the relations and destroying jobs.

Nederland staat wereldwijd bekend om zijn rijke en eeuwenoude schilderstraditie, en net die cultuurschat wil men nu gaan weghalen, wegens niet WOKE genoeg... Met wat voor mafkezen hebben we hier eigenlijk te maken? https://t.co/qgH9MexCEl

The most iconic example of this corporatism is the Dutch East India Company (VOC), founded in 1602. As the world's first true multinational corporation, the VOC not only spearheaded early capitalism but also laid the groundwork for the development of modern South Africa.

The unique natural environment of the Netherlands gave rise to the world's greatest painters, including Hals and Rembrandt. Later this artistic tradition flourished in Flanders with painters such as Peter Paul Rubens and in South Africa with Jacobus Hendrik Pierneef.

[Dutch Empire 🇳🇱 @RealDutchEmpire]

The Western tradition of self-critique, from Socrates to Spinoza to the Enlightenment, has been a vital driver of reform and progress. But today, that strength is being exploited by hateful actors with ill intent, not to improve the West, but to delegitimize and dismantle it!
