In his book, Trevor Noah ranked Cecil Rhodes up there with the likes of Hitler or Pol Pot. Once you know the history, it’s a fair take.

There was a certain Reddit community that would meme the Rhodesian short shorts + FAL rifle getup. Back then thought it was good fun but later learned that most of it was racist dog whistle I did not understand.

Rhodesia is a massive dog whistle, those people are 100% serious. Now days the dog whistle is “Agartha” and anytime you hear people memeing about that they are white supremacists as well.

Dude I ran into a guy on Reddit who was a full on Rhodesia stan. Going on and on about how they were just on the verge of giving black people rights, and how the revolution wasn’t necessary lol.

I’ve mostly just got a soft spot for big guns made of wood and steel
