Comrades: I am honored to interview Dr. Ernst Roets for the launch of his Substack “Roots and Realities”. Dr. Roets is the Executive Director of the Afrikaner Foundation and the Head of Policy of the Solidarity Movement. He is the author of “Kill the Boer” and the producer of several documentary films, including “Tainted Heroes” and “Disrupted Land”.
In our conversation, we discuss:
The normalization of corruption after 30 years of ANC rule in South Africa and what Americans take for granted
How Afrikaners are preserving their culture and civilization through organizations like the Afrikaner Foundation, Solidarity Movement, and AfriForum
Lessons learned from building Akademia University and Orania
Inspiration from Afrikaans phrases
’n Volk red homself: A nation saves itself.
Ons sal self: We will do it ourselves.
Soet is die stryd: Sweet is the fight
Die een wat sy deelname weier, is die een wat sy nasie vermoor: The one who refuses his participation, is the one who partakes in defusing his nation
Optimism through birth rates, Burke, and de Tocqueville
Advice for Americans and Europeans in preserving our freedoms and culture
