It's the dunk tank.
This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.
Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.
Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.
Rule 3: No sectarianism.
Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome
Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)
Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.
Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.
Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml
Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

My question is, what did Botswana do to get on their good side?

So they play nice with the West by giving them diamonds.
They're compradors?
Plenty of them are just Settlers.

They're all just European ex-pats looting the country from the inside.
There's a difference between settlers and expats
Settlers connotate hands-on rawdogging early bloody landholding and industrial capital and its allies, that seeks to ethnically cleanse, if not genocide an indigenous area and settle its new superstructure there... they're much direct and reactionary as is...
I think all of the above fit the bill.
I mean I guess, but expats strike me more as part of a sterile Finance capital, PMC and its allies around the world, who are essentially little Eichmanns that stay in one country and move to another for business and so on so forth, keeping their hands and image 'clean', 'diverse', et 'diplomatic'... they aren't really Trumpists, who want to defend to hell their settler-colonial land...
They may not ethnically cleanse, if not genocide native populations but they do the paperwork of approving company policy to ruin them into the ground...
