White people, and many others, throughout South Africa were infuriated. But a friend had this to say:
This is good 4GW. Completely deniable if it comes to court action ("I was saying that about the Boer song, not me personally." Plus his culture is fine with weasel words and weasel actions). And gives him a big moral level boost from his supporters. It comes off like thumbing his nose (his supporters love him more, become more bold) and it's deniable if the enemy tries to use it against him. The fact that he'll beat any charges related to it gives him a second moral level boost from a three word tweet.
Emboldens his support base. Co-opts the farm murder movement by essentially assuming a leadership role because now the farm murderers look at him and they also wonder "is he the one giving orders?" (If there is an organised farm killing movement vs distributed movement vs they just make good targets).
This is a master stroke.
He knows his enemy well. They'll do exactly one of three things. Leave the country (he appears to win, even while eroding his money supply). They get another excuse for a 2 minute hate and vent against him, while continuing to produce only to be plundered and thus support him. Or they do nothing different and bury their heads in the sand and continue to provide financial support for his side (tax revenue), provide a unifying enemy (a.k.a. hatred fodder) for his side (like Jews for WW2 Germans - yes, I know that's an oversimplification, but it's a commonplace), and by continuing like this they contribute to the low opinion the rest of the country has of them (a culture that responds/respects force, due to short time preferences and cultural history will only lose respect for another culture that lets itself be plundered).
Moral level win (for his side, degraded moral level for his enemy). Physical level encouragement for farm murderers. Mental level messing with his enemy's minds. This is the kind of thing Heartiste would crow about if it wasn't against his preferred side.
The only way it backfires is if it increases resolve amongst his enemies. But soy boys and shrill shrikes don't really do "resolve".
Malema definitely appears to be the Bantu nations' Grey Champion in this Fourth Turning. Will the non-blacks find their own champion, or will they disappear from history?
