So many weird white supremacist dog whistles from David Grusch on Rogan.

Re: the South African Truth and Reconciliation committee thing - while there have been bunches of these, few have been successful. None as successful as Arch Bishop Desmund Tutu's. Chile had some success I suppose. Its kind of easy to set these up, super hard to really follow through in earnest.

We think US is a power-keg now, but we ain't close to SA late 80s/early 90s leading up to Mandela's release and the commission in the mid 90s. Joburg's a rare city that was nearly destroyed and rebuilt 5 times its short history. It was run out of a bar for most that time. Nonviolence started there.

You might recognize that tower from the more recent Judge Dredd movie. That city shot from the previous post was taken from a cool bar at the top. I did NOT take the stairs in going up Ponte tower. Some folks race it though.

But NO, Mr. Grusch is inaccurate at best. White farmers did not randomly walk in after breakfast give testimony and leave. The amount of effort to make that successful is nearly indescribable. Good thing they have a terrific museum in Joburg that walks you through, year by year leading up to it.
