It is conspicuous that the core of the tech right—Musk, Thiel, Sacks—consists of South African expats for whom skepticism about multiracial democracy was mother’s milk.

I'll never forget that Die Antwoord music video where the son tells the mom to get him a drink and the mom orders the daughter to do what her brother says. And she does. There is no fighting. There is no questioning why he can't do it himself. Just blind, angry obedience. It's the expectation of South African privilege to get what you want and to not pay attention to the costs on others. Probably from generations of diamond mining.
