So recently I started reading and watching some videos about Rhodesia and the Bush War cause its something I barely knew anything about.
The thing is that in every video explaining the situation and the details of what happened there the vast majority of the comments are about how great Rhosesia was and prasing how well run the country with no mention to the racial problems that existed.
This becomes even more glaring when the comments are about the war that ravaged the country. Specially extolling the veterans that fought for the side of the white minority, treating them like war heroes.
The thing is that I dont see this happening with a place like South Africa, where everybody condemns the regime, or India or even excolonies from other countries.
This question has come up a couple of times.
Here is an answer from /u/profRhodes discussing how it was seen at the time
And here is another answer from /u/SwarthmoreBurke addressing its current popularity among racists.
