It's true. The only thing we can do to stop criminal gold miners is to segregate our society by race.

#12The region of Donbass has illegal coal mines, or kopanki . Not sure what's their legal status now, considering the whole region is grey area.

#13The survived miners will probably have children. The children who are not fit (neither physically nor mentally) will die working in mines. The mentally fit children will migrate to US. The physically fit children will have more children that are physically fit. What will happen then? Why are we ignoring the future of our species and human rights on a larger scale of time?

Are you saying it's actually good to abuse people because it makes the gene pool stronger in some abstract way?

No I am just wondering why is this largely ignored
Outside of a few wealthy democratic enclaves, the world is largely a place where the rule of law means the rule of the strongest, where human rights don't exist, and where everything and everyone can be bought for the right price. This includes international waters.

There are also studies about generational poverty, medical literature on helping people recover from traumatic conditions, etc..
Not to read any bad intent in your comment, but there also have been studies about social darwinism that have a long track record of problems. I think people do still do studies about genetic inheritance etc., but it's probably impossible to draw society-level conclusions without data.

If we don't continue apartheid, where will we get billionaires to buy social media companies and run them into the ground as a political stunt?
That story is bunk.

#19Hiv infection rates rose from 3% to 18% of the adult population.
Top 10 in the world for murder rates.
30% unemployment rate.
Rolling blackouts.
Afrikaans Paramilitary groups.
Massive organized criminal organizations.
Widespread government corruption.
Recently had the Zuma riots.
It seems to be inching it's way towards a failed state now.
I'm in no way implying that apartheid should not have been abolished. It was terrible. Just saying that the governments that followed were objectively not great.
