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 probably a 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.
Rhodesia, an apartheid state neighboring South Africa during the Cold War, who fought Zimbabwe in the hopes of upholding apartheid.
They lost the war, and were absorbed entirely into Zimbabwe.
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.
thank you

I mean, the look is certainly a vibe, but I also believe the cure for unrehabilitatable racism is a bullet, so 🤷♂️
I’ve mostly just got a soft spot for big guns made of wood and steel
They had a camo so effective the country can’t be seen on a map
