It was Stormfront circa 2014 according to an archive of an article mocking them but I also remember it echoing on 8chan a few years later where they wanted to colonize the 'uninhabited' and therefore free southern Namibian seaboard.

There's a reason it's - you know what, forget it. Go right ahead. I'm sure it'll work out just as well as Operation Red Dog back in the day.

Yeah, when the region called the Skeleton Coast is the most inhabitable part of the Namibian coastline, I can be pretty sure things aren't going to go well anywhere in that whole region. I guess it's a more practical stupid idea than the Bir Tawil triangle, or those floating cities in international waters that unhinged libertarians have fever dreams about.

 That owns. Although it does make me kind of sad to think of what happened to the San natives of the region, and how they've been marginalized, between European colonization and Bantu migrations.

No but see those people only keep away from the coast because they were told to by their government, who they believe because they are weak. Once the settling (real white) people make land the Boer resistance will drive up from Strandfontein in their bakkies to deliver supplies to hold the beachhead that can't even sustain livestock or potatoes or drinking water, right until the special thing happens. Spoiler: The special thing is death by dehydration. Bring a beach towel!

The US showed up for the South Vietnamese and then left, but China's always been around starting poo poo or waiting to start poo poo. France was their colonial occupier so the disdain is obvious there.

China Mieville wrote that amazing article about the hollowness of libertarian fever dreams: they are petit bourgeois, and all their dreams ultimately amount to becoming the grand bourgeois. Even in their wildest imaginations all they can think of is to recreate the state with themselves at the center. I remember in one of those floating paradise movements they became bogged down debating how the guest worker program would handle visas for maids and construction workers.

It's an odd question. Do you think it's translated? The low percentages have to have understood it better.
