@AmericaChivalry@ExistentialEnso The official coroner report agreed his cause of death was asphyxiation caused by the officer pinning his throat. Are you disagreeing with the literal expert?
Blocked one of my best friends of 3+ years at 1:30 in the morning. Feels fucking bad but I don’t want to be friends with someone who so blatantly shows that they don’t gaf about me
@CrazieyBoy@dqveed You definitely don’t speak for me, you are ignorant and bitter and I wish your mother would have hugged you more so I never had to hear this ridiculous take
King Sekhukhuni 1 :The British Nightmare. He strongly opposed the corruption in his land and was a brilliant general and strategist who defeated the British Colonial forces over 3 times, resisting the colonization of his beloved kingdom of Matora until the end.
Sekhukhune I was one of the most determined African rulers of the 19th century, a leader who refused to surrender his kingdom during the height of European colonial expansion in southern Africa. At a time when powerful empires were carving up African land and resources, Sekhukhune stood as one of the fiercest obstacles to colonial rule.
As king of the Pedi Kingdom, sometimes referred to historically as Bopedi, he focused on strengthening his people politically and militarily. He expanded agriculture, built alliances, and developed a strong defensive system in the mountains of present day South Africa. He also understood early on that colonial powers were not simply interested in trade or diplomacy. They wanted control.
Sekhukhune resisted both Boer and British expansion, refusing to allow outsiders to dominate his land or dictate the future of his people. His forces became known for their discipline and strategic use of terrain. Using fortified mountain positions and coordinated attacks, the Pedi warriors managed to frustrate and defeat colonial forces multiple times, something that shocked many Europeans who underestimated African military organization and leadership.
One of the most significant moments came during the Sekhukhune Wars, where British and Boer forces struggled to overcome Pedi resistance. The British eventually launched a much larger campaign against him in 1879, bringing overwhelming manpower and modern weaponry. Even then, conquering his kingdom proved difficult and costly.
What made Sekhukhune remarkable was not just his military ability, but his determination to preserve independence during an era when many African kingdoms were under intense pressure from colonial expansion. He understood that losing political control meant losing culture, land, and sovereignty.
Although he was eventually captured, his resistance became a symbol of African resilience and anti colonial struggle. Today, he is remembered as one of the great African military leaders who challenged empire at a time when doing so required enormous courage.
His story is a reminder that African resistance to colonialism was never passive. Across the continent, leaders and ordinary people fought to defend their nations, identities, and futures against some of the most powerful empires in the world.
@princessxemnas You guys are missing her point- he might be ‘good’ now, but the people he killed don’t come back to life. The people he hurt are still out there, possibly displaced, grieving their dead. And he gets to be ‘redeemed’? I like Iroh as much as the next guy but she is kinda right
@Yelleru Pretty valid criticism. I don’t feel like the monsters are really that scary this time around, they don’t do enough damage. Some can 1 shot you but you generally move too fast for that. I felt like I needed everything to go wrong in order to die
