I always find it hilarious when Lefty Liberals try to come across as clever and in tune with public mood – even though they’ve supported the underlying socialist disasters for decades, and only change their minds when they see the writing on the wall and realise their equality Utopia will never be achieved. Then all of a sudden they’re at the forefront of the voices of dissent.

Take the opinion piece below. It cleverly compares South Africa under ANC rule to a plane about to crash – with the passengers hoping all the way down that another pilot will magically appear and turn the plane around. In the meantime, the passengers assume the brace position, waiting for the inevitable crash.

Very cute. If it wasn’t written by a Lefty.

The author Tom Eaton gives himself away with the following passage:

A lot of you remember what the plane used to be like before 1994 — a quiet, almost entirely empty flight that had only three destinations: white supremacy, economic collapse, and the holiday resort of Fantasyland 1952. No matter how bumpy it‘s been since then you‘ve always reassured yourselves that it‘s way better than how things used to be.

Destiny White supremacy? Economic collapse?? Fantasyland 1952???

Yes, I suppose to a Lefty Liberal full of self-hate and White-guilt, the intelligent and industrious Whites running a country – the most economically sound country on African soil – would be known as White supremacists. I would call it self-preservation with loads of common sense.

It must be great living in Lefty Utopia-land, where you can cherry-pick history and comment from a collectivist viewpoint years later. No need to take the historical circumstances of the day into account, such as that SA Whites were outnumbered 6:1 (now 10:1) by violent savage Blacks with an average IQ of 67; or that Whites had the intellect to create a country from nothing and gave all the different Black tribes their own homelands to live among their own, practicing their own culture – aka multi-culturalism. Just as they wanted and demanded back then. 

Homelands, I may add, were created on some of the best agricultural lands of South Africa. The SA government constantly funded and supported them with White tax dollars, and still the Blacks couldn’t treat the land with respect or make their homelands a success. It was only when the Blacks saw what the Whites were able to create and achieve out of bush-land, that they all of a sudden remembered they weren’t tribal savages after all and wanted what the Whites had created. Then they demanded their country back. A country which didn’t exist until the Whites settled the borders and gave it a name.

It’s the same ‘Gibs me dat’ Black IQ67 mentality we see all around the world. The leopard is unable to change its spots.

Blacks have never been able to create wealth out of something or nothing – unlike the White race. Sure, some would argue that the SA Whites had the benefit of the mineral wealth, discovered by the Whites and exploited by the Whites – but, it was used for the benefit of all South Africans, not only the Whites. In fact, the Black homelands saw most of the tax money compared to the Whites who earned the government that money. The homelands were run via Socialism, while the Whites lived under Capitalism.

Which was a mistake from the get-go and led to the demise of the White government.  Funding and supporting the parasite (the under achievers and non-productive) ahead of the host (the achievers and productive) never ends well. Hello!! Europe!!!

People like Mr Eaton would rather chew off their fingers than admit South Africa, under White rule, prospered and was a much better, safer place for all – including Black Africans – than what South Africa is today under Black rule. It’s taken the ANC just 20-odd years to destroy what was built up over centuries of painstaking, and often, deadly, blood, sweat and tears from the Whites. It was handed to the ANC, on a gold and platinum platter, and they’ve farked it up, but good. 

One could forgive Liberals if they learned from their mistakes. But, no, they will never admit to ever being wrong, and it’s always someone else’s fault their ideology never works out. 

There is a reason why so many African Blacks were trying to get INTO Apartheid South Africa, rather than escape. Just about the only ones leaving were the ANC ‘liberation’ commie strugglers, who couldn’t make it on their own. And of course, let’s not forget to mention the Liberal Jews and other White Liberals who ran to White Australia and other White-run Western countries out of protest against Apartheid. Notice they didn’t run to a Black-run African country to be with their Black brothers. Such is their hypocrisy. And most haven’t returned to SA to live under the Black rule they once protested fanatically for. Funny that. 

Under the ANC, South African Black life-expectancy rates have dropped by 9 years and continues to fall. Education is abysmally bad, and the healthcare sector is on life-support. Crime is rampant, and illegal immigration is out of control. Drug and alcohol abuse is up, and cities are turning into African cesspits. The army is a joke, and corruption has never been worse. The economy is spluttering along, with social grants and the civil service wage bill set to consume 100% of government revenues over the coming decade.

One can assume that the ANC is finally learning the lesson the great Margaret Thatcher once warned about – that Socialism is great….. until you run out of other people’s money. The commie answer, of course, is to just take more from those who have earned it, and redistribute to those who vote for them. Hence why the ANC are raising income tax to 45% on people making >R1 million/year, and to 72% for those earning >R2 million/year. Sounds great, huh? Until you realise that R2 million is about US$140,000/yr, and they have to hand 72% of what they earn to the ANC.

Let me guess how long those productive, skilled people will remain in the country….. As with all commie governments, the productive, educated, skilled and successful citizens flee the depressive and soul-destroying commie ideology very quickly.

Other than that, South Africa is doing swell under communist Black rule. 

I look forward to Mr Eaton writing a humorous article titled: “I was wrong about Apartheid South Africa”. I’m guessing I’ll see flying pigs first. 

THE cabin crew are smiling tight-lipped smiles but everyone knows what‘s happened. You can see it on their faces when they slip out of the cockpit and quickly pull the door shut behind them.

The pilot has died.

And there‘s no co-pilot, because the recently departed was an arrogant dickhead who insisted on working alone.

Worse, the plane is starting to lose altitude.

As you watch the drinks trolley lurch past, you curse your apathy. How did you let it get to this point? After all, you knew that this was going to happen sooner rather than later. They guy had been at the controls non-stop since 1994, and recently he‘d been in horrible shape: bloated, flatulent, losing feeling in his extremities, increasingly paranoid. When he fired Chief Engineer Mbeki in 2007 you all agreed that the signs weren‘t good, and yet you kept him in the pilot‘s seat year after year. Why?

Perhaps there were a few extenuating circumstances. A lot of you remember what the plane used to be like before 1994 — a quiet, almost entirely empty flight that had only three destinations: white supremacy, economic collapse, and the holiday resort of Fantasyland 1952. No matter how bumpy it‘s been since then you‘ve always reassured yourselves that it‘s way better than how things used to be.

Mainly, though, you and the rest of the passengers haven‘t demanded a change of pilot because you‘re all too busy tightening your seatbelts and riding out the turbulence. If we can just get through the next five minutes, you tell yourself. And then the next five minutes. And the next. And before you know it, Jacob Zuma has been president for seven years.

Now, as you see the horizon tilt in your window and the cabin crew start to whimper, you realise how deep in denial you‘ve been. For years you‘ve assumed that if something goes badly wrong, trained professionals will spring into action, pushing buttons and cranking handles like in those World War Two movies where they land a plane with no wings or engines and everyone walks off with a picturesque graze on their forehead.

You‘ve told yourself that well-established countries with stock exchanges, universities, botanical gardens and video rental shops don‘t just go into free-fall. Except for Venezuela, of course. But we‘re not Venezuela because we don‘t have an inept, anti-business government overspending on an obese civil service while blaming its mounting failures on a third force and — oh shit.

You look around, hoping to see someone in a uniform stand up and march up the aisle. You want to shout, “Shouldn‘t we ask if there‘s a pilot on the plane?” but you don‘t want to alarm anyone. In any case, you‘re still pretty sure that someone will do something. But instead all you can see is passengers getting grumpy.

Up in First Class, a blonde woman in a blue T-shirt is hammering away at Twitter: “If I‘d been flying this plane this would never have happened!” Across the aisle, a portly gent in a red beret is yelling: “Bloody pilot! This aeroplane is an instrument of white capital and we should never have been on it in the first place, so once it has crashed we will occupy it!”

I‘m not sure when our pilot popped his clogs. Perhaps it was Polokwane or Marikana. Maybe it was White Shirts pushing MPs out of parliament, or the planned media tribunal, or riot police throwing stun grenades at students.

Maybe, comically, it was when he told the country he didn‘t have money for students and then promptly announced plans to spend R4-billion on a private jet.

Whenever it was, though, I do know that he‘s snuffed it. This government is dead. It will nudge the controls this way and that as it gets dragged out of the cockpit, but, right now, there is nobody flying the plane.

That‘s worrying, of course, but not as worrying as what‘s happening right now. Because instead of asking if there‘s a pilot on board, we‘re arguing over where, when and how the pilot died. And we‘re not examining the claims by the DA and the EFF that they know what to do. Yes, the DA has clocked up some hours in gliders over the Cape Winelands, and the EFF has launched a couple of impressive rockets in Johannesburg, but fly a fully laden airliner? Where‘s the flight plan? Actually, screw the flight plan: at this point we‘ll take any plan that looks technically sound and isn‘t just the usual pissing contest.

The fact is we don‘t have a clue if anyone in South Africa knows how to run it. All we have is the old belief that someone will do something. Call it hope. Call it denial. But at some point we‘re going to learn the truth. And when it happens, our seatbelts better be fastened.
