it's seriously hard to overstate how big an impact losing the Border War, and all the land that became Namibia, had on South Africa

sure, officially it was a 'negotiated peace', but it was a negotiated peace in which SA got nothing and their opponents got everything they wanted, and the guerrilla movement that had spent decades fighting them were elected to power and have governed the independent territories since. it was a huge blow to the national morale of the white minority that they never really recovered from, and seriously damaged the legitimacy of the government. apartheid certainly wouldn't have ended when it did if they hadn't lost that war.

The fact that Cuba of all countries intervened in Angola and fought the South Africans remains one of the most mind blowing events in modern history to me. Absolutely wild stuff.

the funniest part of it to me is that the US government, and American Trotskyist orgs, denounced Cuba's behavior in southern Africa, which objectively consisted of some of the most selfless acts of internationalism in modern history, as 'Cuban imperialism'

Recognizing the American government and trots as two separate entities is an exercise in redundancy.

I always lol how when Cuban sends resources like doctors overseas, western media has articles on "What the real motivation / foreign policy manipulation!"

The idea that SA were a group of racist shitheads was also mainstream in the US, to the point that it featured in the plots of big Hollywood movies and prime time network shows. There is 0% of that happening with regard to Israel.

the Palestinian flag is so utterly repressed in Israel that people started using watermelons as a substitute thanks to its similar colors, then they went and cracked down on that

in other food related insurrection, The Wanted 18 is a story about 18 dairy cows which were deemed a threat to israels state security, and how the Palestinian community hid them around the west bank like a 1,500 lbs Anne Frank
