@k9_reaper Stances you mean...and I'm referring to all 3.

[Emile @emileboon]

@willempet Ironically, he doesn't seem to notice that he gets completely ratioed on almost all of his posts.
Very few agree with his idiotic comments and yet he keeps doubling down...

[Emile @emileboon]

@uMarhobane You have to wonder if this wasn't by design.
Just have 2 sides argue about the semantics (Logomachy) instead of the content of the argument.
Pretty common stragetegy to discredit one side.

[Emile @emileboon]

@louisbos123 and @hkrugertjie , you're both focussed on only the button half of the equation. Simply adjust the denominator and numerator to white farmers only, that number is not anywhere near the mean...
~56/44000x100000 = 127 (even though these are approximations, it is sound in order of magnitude)
National average is ~40.
There's no way to spin this to get to the mean @hkrugertjie.
The pure numbers also don't tell the full picture, motif and violent nature are also not normative.

[Emile @emileboon]

@jcollins_jason @hkrugertjie @ErnstRoets @afriforum Read my reply (to my own post), you're not looking at the big picture...

[Emile @emileboon]

@j33624 @hkrugertjie @ErnstRoets @afriforum You're wrong, do some research before you post nonsense like this.

[Emile @emileboon]

Ethnic cleansing is the removal of an ethnic group from a region, the means isn't limited to killing.
Every single major government policy is aimed at directly/indirectly removing whites from SA society.
If the ANC/EFF/MK could push a button to remove all whites from "their" country, they would, if you think otherwise you might have fallen on your head and you should have that checked out.
The only counter argument is that they want us to stay so that they can keep stealing our tax money, but in the end the greedy ogres will always kill the hen that lays the golden eggs...

[Emile @emileboon]

@hkrugertjie @ErnstRoets @afriforum The issue is that the term "ethnic cleansing" and "genocide" are used interchangeably.
I think the term ethnic cleansing is totally defensible and should be the term settled on by everyone fighting this.

[Emile @emileboon]

@BroScience99 @willempet It's called "per-capita" rate, you should look that up...you're making yourself look really stupid infront of everyone reading this. Do better, think, learn.

[Emile @emileboon]

You didn't think this through at all did you. Taking your stats above:
That makes the implied White murder rate about 40–75 times higher than the implied Black rate, with a midpoint around 57 times higher.
(Based on 2026 census data: Rural Black: ~19.0–19.2 million
Rural White: ~200,000–260,000)

[Emile @emileboon]

@RiebvJanbeeck @ErnstRoets The proper term in my opinion is "ethnic cleansing".

It doesn't refer to only killing but of getting rid of an ethnic group by many mechanisms.

This seems to me to be exactly what's going on.

[Emile @emileboon]

@k9_reaper By all means, carry one mag.
These are cowardly people, you'll probably not need more than 2 rounds to make them scatter like rats...

[Emile @emileboon]

@dvorahfr Earth is not the issue, humans are. Mars will be much worse, if you think we're ruled by elite technocrats now, what do you think will happen on Mars? There you won't even be able to run away from your overlords, because even your ability to breath will be beyond your control...

[Emile @emileboon]

I understand the sentiment, but we should be careful not to be politically correct about the issue.

The term that we should be using in my opinion is "ethnic cleansing" or "ethnic persecution" and "incitement to genocide" (by the EFF).

What's happening in SA can be absolutely termed as such as the situation fits those terms perfectly and it cannot be disputed.

No other group in SA is specifically targeted and persecuted under the law and in calls for violence as the Afrikaner (and the white minority in general).

The EFF can also be defined as "stochastic terrorists", as they're hoping that their calls for violence will be acted upon by their extremist followers; there is ample evidence that this has indeed happened in many farm killings.

The ANC is allowing this to continue knowing full well that it now has multiple degrees of separation from the consequences, so it can plausibly deny its role in all of this. It's creating the environment for all of this to happen without necessarily "pulling the trigger" so to speak.

Just because there is no white genocide as per the definition in SA yet, doesn't mean one should pivot all the way to the other side of the argument...

[Ian Cameron @IanCameron23]

There may be some that may not like me saying this, but I stand for the truth. There is no white genocide in South Africa but farm attacks and murders are real, unique, and demand specialised action.

Let’s set the record straight: there is no white genocide in South Africa. That claim is factually incorrect and distracts from the very real crisis that does exist — the ongoing, targeted, and uniquely brutal attacks on our country’s farming communities.

The facts speak for themselves: farm attacks affect people of all races, white, black, coloured, and indian. What makes these attacks different is not the race of the victims. It’s the nature of the disproportionate violence (sometimes torture), the location (isolation), certain political rhetoric, celebration by some on social media and the economic implications that make them a national priority.

Farm attacks are uniquely savage. Victims are often tortured for hours. Some are tied up and beaten, raped and even tortured to death. Some attacks can carry on for hours. In some cases even children have been murdered. In some cases, very little of significance is stolen — but something far worse is taken: safety, dignity, and life.

These aren’t random crimes. They are calculated, often executed by organised syndicates who take advantage of the remote and isolated nature of farms. Help is far away. Law enforcement is stretched thin. The result? Criminals act with impunity — and communities are left traumatised and vulnerable.

This is why the Democratic Alliance (DA) has fought for years to place rural safety at the top of South Africa’s national agenda. And finally, this week, Parliament has formally acknowledged the truth — farm attacks are real, and they must be addressed with urgency.

Two parliamentary portfolio committees, Police and Agriculture have adopted a report that includes several DA-led recommendations:

-A Specialised Rural Safety Unit in SAPS;

-Stronger crime intelligence focused on rural syndicates and cross-border networks;

-Prosecution-led investigations to increase conviction rates;

-Better collaboration between police and community safety structures like farm watches;

-And, crucially, formal recognition of the uniquely brutal nature of farm murders.

This is not about creating a hierarchy of victims. Every South African life is equally valuable. But to respond effectively to crime, we must understand its context, and farm attacks do have specific, repeated features that set them apart.

These attacks strike at the heart of South Africa’s food security, job creation, and rural economy. When a farmer or farmworker is murdered, the impact is felt across the entire agricultural value chain, and across every dinner table in the country.

The DA remains fully committed to justice, safety, and dignity for all who work the land. We call on the Minister of Police to act now. Rural communities can’t wait any longer. What they need is not only sympathy, they need protection, prosecutions, and political will.

@k9_reaper You should follow some of your own advice. Don't shoot down people that offer a helping hand just because you think everyone is a bad guy...pushing away the good will accelerate your path to the bad.

[Emile @emileboon]

@k9_reaper The problem is that's not what is taught by just about anyone. Getting off the X to most means a little 1.5m side step which isn't going to mean shit.

[Emile @emileboon]

@k9_reaper To go beyond trinkets invest time in learning to design in some CAD software.

[Emile @emileboon]

@k9_reaper Perhaps more importantly, you'll need to get one or two high sites up (routers/repeaters).
Those will require a custom built solution with PV and that's likely going to be a 868MHz board.

[Emile @emileboon]

@k9_reaper Would be best to get 868MHz version as all other LoRa you get locally is on that band.
That way you could in theory roll out a public channel that anyone could use in case of emergency...
There is a lot of LoRa Meshtastic out there.

[Emile @emileboon]

@Gilera85 @k9_reaper Jip, it's theoretically possible but those lighter (12V) to USB adapters typically produce no more than 2.4A.
I've never even been able to find an AC USB adapter that powers a Pi properly (official Pi PSU's work best).
So custom built or rare find would be required...
