  1. so we want a nation that largely doesnt follow maori tradition that doesnt speak maori have control of what a document in te reo means ?. this is a bad idea history tells that all documents interpreted by people outside the language and culture mis interpret it. The bible is one of the most famous documents that does it
    12
  2. because of the fine print that implies the deal was with the crown not us. which then leads the way to the government not needing to acknowlegde maori land rights/private property owned by maori
    12
  3. not six years mate 3 years the first three years of labour had great economic outcomes its how she got 50% of the nations vote for the second term as for the second term it started the same year covid did
    11
  4. we are all kiwis but we all speak english a langauge from another nation. Why is it that white people act like they are subject to the oppressions of colonization when they are the colonizers. Like just now you feel as if your somehow wronged for having to hear a language native to this very country. This is only an issue in colonized ones too, you wouldn't whine about hearing japanese in japan but you'll complain about hearing maorti in NZ the idea is ridiculous and yet here we are
    11
  5.  @craybro  the last government had to deal with a pandemic so yes there were going to be halts
    8
  6.  @4evaavfc  bugger all even know 500 ppl signed te tiriti and only 39 signed the english version
    8
  7. No ones removing those from the curriculum. It'd be easy to simply add it to social studies mate we dont need to learn about the oregon trail and about the american pilgrims in such detail because it has little to do with our Nations people however we do have New Zealand citizens apart of the lgbtq who happen to live in a world that still ostracizes and persecutes them
    7
  8.  @simondobson5278  historically speaking skirmishes between maori were not over land but honor and past grievances. We werent the type to just smoke people and take everything. That only happened after Pakeha influence
    7
  9. its very similar too other white colonial countries look at Australia america and Canada the only constant is natives are overrepresented in colonial systems
    7
  10.  @simondobson5278  we weren't stupid bro we knew that if we didnt have muskets we didnt stand a chance in warfare. the musket wars were fueled by the need to stay technologically relevant in the new type of warfare pakeha brought with them. And to get muskets you traded maori heads
    6
  11.  @throughput6674  do you believe in demoracy if you do then all maori should be given the chance to vote on this contract
    6
  12. you all have the same rights in your motherlands like england scotland ireland etc
    5
  13.  @PowerboatTraining  no one voted winston or david in only 8 perent of the nation agree with act so no your wrong
    5
  14.  @SB-Kiwi  thats good to hear. Now we just need to insure that the current government knows that
    5
  15. Pakeha is not a slur stop trying to redefine our words. you first did so with maori and taboo and now your doing it again with pakeha
    5
  16. well because this guy is talking about wanting to annex lands from maori for roads. that urupa statement is an issue right now with a hapu in northland fighting against the council because they want to build an access way through their burial grounds. Winston wants to remove maori from the united nations declaration of indeginous rights. While old Seymore wants the Authority to re interperet a Maori document called Te tiriti while lacking knowledge and expertise in maori culture so he can push his colonozer agenda. Thats why media back labour
    5
  17. you say two lots of people now but im sure youve also tried to say things like there are more than just maori and pakeha now to invalidate indeginous protetions from colonization. Can i ask why you want us to be you we never asked you to be us only that we live along side one another without abolishing the others way of life yet people on your side of the fence cant do that. Why cant youo do that , why do we have to ompletely submit to even exist
    5
  18. yeah that section of maori is the section winston and david belong too. im going to ask you several things and you tell me if its unfair to want these things as a maori. 1 We want government to halt legislation that makes english compulsory while maori is not this is discriminatory legislation 2 We want government to stop trying to pass policies that remove indigenous protections from maori this is discriminatory policy which is possible legislation 3 We want government to stop pushing policies that hinder halt or persecute maoridom again these are discriminatory plans to hinder halt or persecute maori. 4 We want citizens to stop persecuting us simply because we want equality
    5
  19.  @dash-kt7uf  the pakeha couldnt stop us with war then or war now. let me ask you if maori and pakeha rose up in opposition to a tyrannical government who do you think the world will side with
    5
  20.  @Czhr43jh6hyx  but we did its just that people were brainwashed into thinking we lost soveriegnty
    4
  21. explain to me where the common sesne is when it comes to the annexing of lands from maori for roads. that urupa statement is an issue right now with a hapu in northland fighting against the council because they want to build an access way through their burial grounds
    4
  22.  @ufconlyfamz69  youre proud to back people like this guy who is talking about wanting to annex lands from maori for roads. that urupa statement is an issue right now with a hapu in northland fighting against the council because they want to build an access way through their burial grounds. ? Lets also not forget Winston wants to remove maori from the united nations declaration of indeginous rights. While old Seymore wants the Authority to re interperet a Maori document called Te tiriti while lacking knowledge and expertise in maori culture so he can push his colonozer agenda.
    4
  23. your happy with guys like this who is talking about wanting to annex lands from maori for roads. that urupa statement is an issue right now with a hapu in northland fighting against the council because they want to build an access way through their burial grounds. ? Lets also not forget Winston wants to remove maori from the united nations declaration of indeginous rights. While old Seymore wants the Authority to re interperet a Maori document called Te tiriti while lacking knowledge and expertise in maori culture so he can push his colonozer agenda.
    4
  24. if division has been big for ages why has there not been a big maori movement in over 30 years the last time this happened the government was trying to cap how much maori ould sell their land for. pull your head out bro. Im going to ask you several things and you tell me if its unfair to want these things as a maori. 1 We want government to halt legislation that makes english compulsory while maori is not this is discriminatory legislation 2 We want government to stop trying to pass policies that remove indigenous protections from maori this is discriminatory policy which is possible legislation 3 We want government to stop pushing policies that hinder halt or persecute maoridom again these are discriminatory plans to hinder halt or persecute maori. 4 We want citizens to stop persecuting us simply because we want equality
    4
  25.  @throughput6674  It had both pakeha and maori mate under labour where as this government just wants pakeha. You need to learn critical thinking skills and stop letting people indoctrinate you into the same old racist cliches
    4
  26. this guy who is talking about wanting to annex lands from maori for roads. that urupa statement is an issue right now with a hapu in northland fighting against the council because they want to build an access way through their burial grounds. wheres the common sense in that
    4
  27.  @annemackay-ib4gy  are you aware of the govenments new policy to remove Naori from the united nations decleration of indeginous rights
    4
  28. te reo is volentary but english is enforced. make that make sense
    4
  29. his logic is that he wants to annex lands from maori for roads. that urupa statement is an issue right now with a hapu in northland fighting agains the ounl because they want to build an acess way through their burial grounds
    4
  30. this guy Shane is talking about wanting to annex lands from maori for roads. that urupa statement is an issue right now with a hapu in northland fighting against the council because they want to build an access way through their burial grounds. Winston wants to remove maori from the united nations declaration of indeginous rights. While old Seymore wants the Authority to re interperet a Maori document called Te tiriti while lacking knowledge and expertise in maori culture so he can push his colonozer agenda.

  31. @todd3095 yeah. you'll notice that those stats are also comparable to other native groups inside of colonised countries. Our cultures our people and locations are all different the only constant amongst all these nations are colonization, white supremacy and National conservatism. These things created problems that span hundreds of years and are ongoing
    4
  32. @todd3095 so it can help but what took generations to do to a group will take generations to undo mate. You're looking at this from an individual/well i did it POV from your end but a well its most of them perspective towards every ethnic group that shares those statistics that were caused by white supremacy and national conservatism. Keep in mind your people have had the opportunity for hundreds of years where as other groups have only had since the sixties that's like two or three generations mate in comparison to to 6 to 7 that Pakeha have had. You also gotta understand Pakeha still think of maori as criminals like you, you might not even notice it but that part of your brain that wants to point the finger at Maori being disproportionately represented in negative statistics without asking why is prejudiced because if you're unwilling to ask why then your unlikely to care why so you just say yeah its because they just have an obvious predisposition for it
    4
  33.  @jamescooper-hope6930  no im making a omparison between the mistranslation of our treaty and a document that was mistranslated by people who didnt speak hebrew and and defined passages as they saw fit. You need to work on you ability to contextualize whats being said correctly
    3
  34. yeah like david and winston
    3
  35.  @louisebracknell2451  only 8 perent of the nation voted for act and their policies
    3
  36. @bracknell2451 that is incorrect only 8 percent of the country voted for At you still want democracy right. If this was a true democracy labor and nat would be the leaders
    3
  37. People need to understand that we need to take life to sustain life. unless we can create artificial sustenance or we can somehow learn photosynthesis we will continue to take life in order to live. Vegans and vegetarians are hypocrites vegetables are also alive. yet how many of them will consciously give thanks to the lives used to sustain their life. at least i acknowledge and appreciate the lives taken so I can live
    3
  38.  @neil3488  no it simply went over your head
    3
  39. secretly record the people at Waitangi on Waitangi day to see them all and have the evidence to back it. now im not saying the majority are but there is a specific tent there every year that is dedicated to telling us how we don't need the queen and the Pakeha. its the biggest tent there so you cant miss it
    3
  40.  @simondobson5278  your talking about the musket wars they werent land wars they were wars driven by trade for muskets. 1 maori head was worth one musket to pakeha
    3
  41. Newzealand aint perfect but it sure is hell is pretty damn good
    3
  42.  @throughput6674  does your mate know that the government would prefer to annex maori land for infrustructure
    3
  43. bro maori have never gotten more than pakeha this is a lie they tell you to piss you off and make you angry at us
    3
  44. This elusive intrinsic meaning of life you're all looking for isn't a universal mathematical answer it's philosophical and subjective. You give yourself an essential meaning to life through your pursuit of happiness and fulfillment. if you cant find a meaning then maybe you should look at making some life-changing decisions.
    3
  45. nz land wars were a very dark time in our country. and i think its a great thing to learn but not a great start to help the healing of racism. if anything it'll stir hate in the hearts of Maori youth
    3
  46. found this in my recommended gg yt
    3
  47. whats sensible about wanting to annex lands from maori for roads. that urupa statement is an issue right now with a hapu in northland fighting against the council because they want to build an access way through their burial grounds
    3
  48. nah im quite happy to speak in English mate and no a slur has nothing to do with how you feel about that word but about the word's meaning. Therefore pakeha is about as much of a slur as the word lightbulbr
    3
  49.  @Bushey4545  I agree that people should police themselves. not to completely unplug but just to stop themselves from binging, after all, any form of addiction is bad it doesn't matter what the addiction is attached to it can still have an adverse effect on your life. Remember everyone we live in a new world of ethics that are heavily influenced by technology and this isnt bad its just drastically different from how older generations grew up. Edit Why should yesterday control today when today can only guide tomorrow
    3
  50. Has he ever specified what red tapes/legislation is being removed. I know hes started with the fair pay act whats next
    3
  51.  @dash-kt7uf  treat everyone equally okay cool so when is te reo going to be compulsory like english when is english going o be removed from places when are pakeha cultural practices going to be made illlegal
    3
  52. Yes classism ​has problems with inequality now let me ask you, were white people forced to stay in a lower class because of the color of thier skin or their native heritege. "None of this was around" Are you quite young because older maori will tell you that hell yes it was around because if it wasnt them getting the maori beat out of them it was their parents and if it wasnt their parents it was our grand parents. It wasnt even that long ago that they had a police force that specifically targeted Maori. So im going to summurize and simplify for you so you can understand. Maori have only had equal rights to allow them to move up the socioeconomic ladder since the 60s, pakeha have had since they got here. So you cant expect the same outcomes from both groups as a whole when one had full rights and the others didnt
    3
  53.  @helenberry9082  you were all beaten yes and what for ?. It was because what you were doing was considered wrong now let me ask you what was wrong about speaking Maori. So you say you get hit for stepping out of line so ill ask you again what was out of line about indigenoous people speaking their native language. Would you think its right to hit and beat the japanese out of the japanese kids in schools in japan or are maori speial inthat regard. About the police thing, was there or was there not a police force specifically created to target Maori the answer is yes look it up. Acting like like oh well i never seen it doesnt mean it wasnt happening around the country. I never said ALL i said YOU, In response to another individual i was talking to, where i said when you dont ask why these statistics show what they show your likely to say things like oh they just have a predsposition for it. So ill ask you that question, why do you think maori and other dark skinned minorities in colonized countries show up disproportionality in negative statistics aross the globe in colonized countries. You say you live with a kind heart but sit here and try to mitigate the long ongoing issues of colonization as if everyone was effected by it in the same way. Race will always be down the line for white people in colonized countries because your mother land culture and people arent percecuted like darker skinned minorities in colonized countries. You say focus on needs not race. Why dont you spend time looking into the ongoing effects of colonization on native people and see why needs are different between a ethnic group that has been faced with targeted systemic oppression and ethnic groups that havent. To give you perepective in every non colonised country people speak the native language. Again you dont need to focus on it because at the end of the day the english still have england the scottish still have scotland the irish still have ireland but the maori are loosing New Zealand in a sense that our culture language and people are still subject to persecution and erasure. Ignoring the last bit its unrelated and dont see how it contributes to the conversation.

  54.  @andreatodd3095  in a country that already had its own language ?.
    3
  55.  @andreatodd3095  i dont need you to think like me but would you be okay with nigerians forcing the scottish to speak their language through law
    3
  56.  @andreatodd3095  its exactly the same im just putting your people in the place of Maori and the Nigerians in the place of Pakeha and its made you evasive. And again the reason we all speak it is because of a racist law that makes English compulsory
    3
  57. prejudie and descrimination id the definition of racism if you take those words and you understand them better you'll get a better understand of what racism looks like from a more nuaned lense rather than the primary school dont treat people different lesson. Even that in and of it self is more nuanced once your more experienced with different walks of life
    3
  58.  @tanepukenga1421  this is what i dont like about right wingers i mean David himself has said that he doesnt think people should be able to keep a peice of land just beause their family owned it in the past but only extends that ideal to maori. Hes doing the same now with removing NZ from UNDRIP too. All non maori people still have their indeginous protections in their anestral countries but we cant have indeginous protections in ours
    3
  59. would public education be considered public sector if so why are you okay with enlish being legislated into schools as a requirement. Why do you all have this fear that your about to be colonised by maori culture when in fact its the very opposite thats happening
    2
  60. ​ @NZZN666  The job should require te reo because the government has already stipulated that ENGLISH is a requirement by law in education which is a transgenerational form of cultural and legislative tyranny . They forced a language and culture on a nation then claimed that the culture they oppressed has become the oppressor which is rediculous on every level
    2
  61.  @NZZN666  no whats ridiculous is that people arent already speaking it. It is realistic, if english can be legislated into education and not be considered unethical then so can Te Reo. Rolling the R isnt a requirement for understanding, however the vowels are and every New Zealander can make those vowel sounds because every one of those vowel sounds are in the english language who said anything about pepeha and karakia ive only ever mentioned the language.
    2
  62.  @NZZN666  you all act as if Pakeha are the ones being colonised and forced into a cultutre where its maori that dont have a hoice but to speak english due to legislations in education
    2
  63.  @NZZN666  not any reason a specific reason you guys are all on your high horse like oh pakeha shouldnt have to speak te reo because FREEDOM, while supporting a system that forces MAORI to speak english. You're all the same you all support legislation that perpetuates colonizarion and condemn anything as racist that supports maori language and culture
    2
  64.  @NZZN666  its not exagerrated or played down its exactly as ive stated Maori dont have a choice but to speak English because of legislation, this is a fact. Theres also the fact that that same education system made certain maori practices illegal and also beat the language and culture out of Maori. This happenned on a NATIONAL level mate. im simply advocating for a fair system that teaches Maori and Engish with the same Zeal.
    2
  65.  @JK-ji3kl  its not an idea it literally is ongoing because the national curiculum makes english a compulsory subject, which means maori are forced to speak english by legislation. On the other hand there are no legislations that force non maori to speak te reo in school. Reality is you're indoctrinated into the colonizer ideology and the reason no one speaks te reo is because english is literally forced by law. Even Maori medium schools need to teach english by law.
    2
  66.  @neil3488  its unfortunate people who vote cant articulate or understand those who can

  67.  @peterdillon3749  yes

  68.  @BallisticCoefficient  i know the history and if you did too you'd know that cannibalism wasn't common practice there was like two chiefs that practiced the tradition this propaganda was perpetuated through Pakeha trying to sell bones as cannibalised peoples bones
    2
  69. i mean lets talk about the complexities right now did you know that shane is talking about wanting to have the power to annex maori land for roads that statement on hapu and urupa is an issue happenng right now where a hapu up in northland is fighting against the council who wants to annex their burial grounds for an access way

  73.  @SkullatorNZ  what was the legislation that stopped people from getting imediate health care what was the policy

  74. people of the community can you give me a single policy created by the last government that forced division

  75.  @stoneageart9965  you gotta be a troll bro . Gona sit here and winge about a word thats not a slur then all me an actual one. Theres hori is generally accepted as an ethnic slur pakeha isnt

  76. this guy who is talking about wanting to annex lands from maori for roads. that urupa statement is an issue right now with a hapu in northland fighting against the council because they want to build an access way through their burial grounds. Lets also not forget Winston wants to remove maori from the united nations declaration of indeginous rights. While old Seymore wants the Authority to re interperet a Maori document called Te tiriti while lacking knowledge and expertise in maori culture so he can push his colonozer agenda. AND YET YOU SUPPORT THEM

  79.  @222-i6o  you talking about language mate. Because they have mandarin in china and hindi in india. They are not having their language systemically removed in their motherlands by a foreign force
    2
  80. who cares what they look like when you're sweating balls in combat you dont notice
    2
  81. shane jones essentially said he wants the power to annex lands from maori for roads because he doesnt value indeginous peoples rights to their graveyards/urupa
    2
  82.  @andreatodd3095  what do you mean you never saw it in rural shools do you mean your rural school beause its was rampant through out NZ. Maori were literally barred from speaking Maori in schools and ig= they did they were beaten. Ive met. Ive been to many marae up and down the country from tainui to ngati kuri and talked to the old people in every singgle one they all said the same thing it was just normal to get hit in school for speaking maori. Maori weremt treated the same maori were still barred from establishments in the sisxties beacause things the world was still working its way out of a global white supremaist regime
    2
  83.  @andreatodd3095  see your not atually listening i TOLD you the ENGLISH isn COMPULSORY by LAW where is the educational euality in that. Thats all im saying until you address it

  85. Idk man where i live there has always been like ten to fifteen fast food restaurants nearby and the only way to get groceries was to drive into the city about 45 minutes away. but my town isnt obese. its about how much the person cares about what they eat and how they look physically if they dont care enough to do something its not going to happen but this isnt good or bad it just is

  86. New government is terrible this guy is talking about wanting to annex lands from maori for roads. that urupa statement is an issue right now with a hapu in northland fighting against the council because they want to build an access way through their burial grounds. Winston wants to remove maori from the united nations declaration of indeginous rights.

  88. bro I've seen a lot of racism and its always aimed at white people. its not them thats oppressing us its the systemic oppression that was passed down by our tupuna. they passed the belief of oppression to their kids which was true back then but eventually, times changed. but the message didnt so we all just continued to believe that we are oppressed.

  93.  @stephenbaker-lemay479  Equality isn't hard if allowed space the reason it's so difficult is that people who don't experience inequality push back on policies that try to bring it to the table. Like let me ask you do you think making Te reo compulsory in schools is divisive, special treatment or racist
    1
  94.  @stephenbaker-lemay479  it only reates division with bigots. When i asked do you think Te Reo should be ompulsory you said yeah who do you think would likely say no to that notion me personally i think its the ignorant and raist that will oppose that idea and imo niether of hose people should be given spae to sway policy beause thats how bad shit happens to good people

  95.  @kidro8717  there are studies showing that they could be they just process things slower and differrently to animals. here's an example if they are not sentient why do surrounding trees feed nutrients to a dying tree near by
    1
  96. Not true Gagliano, an evolutionary ecologist has adopted methods from behavioral experiments used to test animal intelligence and found that plants respond in a similar manner. The results of her research suggest plants might possess intelligence, memory and learning, although the mechanisms at play may be fundamentally different from those of humans and animals.

  97.  @kidro8717  its hard to say if all can or cant but there are few species that do

  98.  @NZZN666  its not a "PAST" injustice its an ongoing one, of english being compulsory by LAW. Now id like you to read what i just wrote a few times so it computes. once thats registered we can talk about everything else
    1
  99. I never said anything about 'official' languages. "with what authority" The exact same authority that does it for english (Govenment and Education) Sign Language cant be equated to that of Te reo and English because sign language was never the target of cultural genocide by tyranny. So realistically it is possible to have the entire NATION learn Te Reo if its given the same legistative power as english. I dont care of current feelings of the time im looking at this from a percpective of fair treatment between both Pakeha and Maori you know the two founding cultures of this nation. you keep inserting yourself, my talking point is bigger than you and your profession it involves the entire nation. again i dont actually care about your job itself its about fair legislation that is to say if one is legislated then both should be legislated.. The fact you see learning Te reo as a punishment and not an opportunity says more about your percpective on the language, more than anything else. The reason making english compulsory was and is bad, is simply because its a literal ongiong racist law that is descriminatory towards one party (Maori). If both languages were legislated or neither were then there would be no issue of racist oppression here
    1
  100.  @JK-ji3kl  your missing the point Te reo is optional english is not
    1
  101.  @NZZN666  It might feel above your pay grade but its not its perpetuated by cultural bias of what is essientailly the white is right rhetoric. Thats been reworded to fit todays social climates. An example is back in the day you could say we dont want to teach Te Reo in schools its a useless language. Now its they shouldnt teach Te Reo in schools, not all of us are Maori its not right to force their language on us their only a small minority of people here.And this is said in the face of english being the only comulsory language in NZ even the oh i dont need to learn maori because its of no use to me stems from the perpetuation of the white is right rhetoric that bled into legislation and social norms. Beause if we look at it from an ojective view its only of little use because of ongoing descriminatory legislation. As for cultural practices like singing the anthem and karakia or prayer. Theyve never been legislated as a MUST by law. There has never been a bill passed that forces that on a legislative level.
    1
  102.  @NZZN666  "The "i dont need to learn maori because its of no use to me" stems from nothing other than the fact...Te Reo is of little use to me. I know enough. I dont need to be able to converse in Te Reo" Whether you realise it or not that direct quote i took from you is only relevant beause of on going descrimination. For future reference i dont care about karakia in the work place because its not nor has it ever been required by law to do so. you keeo bringing up spiritual stuff so im just going to keep repeaing the fact that there is no law that says you need to practice Pakeha or maori spirituality in the work place. Okay back to Te Reo so you realise im not directing all of this at just YOU right you realise im advocating for fair legislation for both the english and Maori languages. What im advocating for wont likely even affect you directly but future generations instead because unless you plan on going back to school you wont be taught it

  103.  @NZZN666  Theres no law that forced that stuff on you that was simply a decision set by your superiors. You didnt have to if you really didnt want because theres no law in anypart of our society to compell you to do so. If push came to shove they'd be liable if they tried to sack you over it. AS for the wanting to compel adults to learn te reo through legislation ive never said that. These are the things ive said "we use the same Authoritry that compels English today " " we use the same systems that compel English today" "we have the same legislations for te reo as we do for english today" That should make it very clear on how i think Te Reo should be implemented into New zealand society and who it effects and what generations are effected the most. like i said unless your an adult going back through the education system it wont affect you
    1
  104.  @NZZN666  So yeah i am talking about the legislation because that is the major compelling force. Your issue could be challenged as an individual and won because of the fact that there is no compelling legislation that forces those practices on you It was just the ideals of your superiors not an actual law

  105.  @giltee626  Bro you took that straight out the white supremacy hand book. Maori never commited genocide. As for canibilism would you like to talk about the how the colonizers would dig up mummies and eat them as a form of medicine how about the fact that they'd go and dig random bodies up and pass them off as mummies to sell as mediine to eat. As for the last bit ENGLISH is legislated into Education try again.

  119.  @FreedomGoldStriker  the world is not black and white we dont live in a world where people reap what you sow. Ill be blunt if your not born into wealth then you better be willing exploit people and resoures to get above the rest. Because your typical personis willing to work hard but only those willing to do more than work hard make it to the top. ill ask a simple question can you name one sucessful company that hasnt exploited people or resources to turn a profit or have an advantage over competition

  120. i believe in the all lives movement and because of this i would never try to detract from black lives matter or blue lives matter or any movement looking to save/protect the lives of good people because if i did then how can i say that all lives matter. i dont care how you save/protect the lives of good people i will support you in it as long as its not at the expense of another good person. which maybe a contradiction since im not against killing evil humans ( I don't see them as people anymore) but i truly do believe the lives of good people are precious so i hate to see them end unjustly .

  132.  @chrisnipper9163  tax isnt the solution if you tax the rich they'll take it out on the poor what we need is for them to spend more money. personally i love wealthy people who throw money away these guys are the ones putting money back into the economy

  140.  @throughput6674  okay let me ask you if you buy a home when you pass away do you think you have the right to pass that asset down to your children if you so choose. Do you also believe that property you buy also belongs to you and the government has not right to take it from you.
    1
  141.  @throughput6674  well thats was all well and good untill capitilism which turned land into private property so we had to confrom to the idea of private ownership of land unless we wanted to give our homes and ancestral burial grounds up to the elites

  142.  @Kiwi-in-NZ  we do but psakeha are treated better. look at whos culture and language is supressed and whos is compulsory by law

  143. 77 percent my ass if there were that many people who believed that then there wouldnt of been risk of a re-election and a coalition. the last government got 50% of the entire countries vote. If it wasnt for the pandemic screwing the economy they likely would of got in again easily

  148.  @kitty2527  let me ask you thjis do you still have indeginous protetions in the country your ancestors ome from beause heres the thing white people still have indeginous rights and protetions in Europe but you all want to strip maori of theirs. So guess who has more rights ? yup its still white people

    1
  156.  @kjr2868  if acts agenda is to allow maori to keep their lands why is it that in an interview a during the campaign period did he say and i quote "people should not be able to hold onto land simply because it was passed down by family mambers a few hundred years ago" And why did he run an anti o governance campaign

  160. david and winston are the maori elite. Maori are just trying to protest against the supression of langauage,culture and the rights to lands owned nothing more nothing less. You guys advocate for the annexation of maori land without concent you advocate for the changing of a maori document without a demoratic vote you advocate for the abolishment of maori names and the rooting of english in everything

  183. this is what it looks like when the government wants to annex the property of indeginous people
    1
  184. 1 maori had authority over their lands forests and waters his first point seems like it wants to annex natural resources 2 why is it when minorities say oh white people get picked more he'll say oh no that never happens but apparentyly its a rampant problem for whit people 3 Yes these are problems that minority races fae not the overwhelming majority but i guess the quote of "when equality is looked at from a place of privilege it looks like oppression"

  188. ​ @andreatodd3095 Melding pot is more colonizer rhetoric you literally only hear this from pro colonizer talking points.Every nation has a mixture of cultures within them but only in colonized ones do you see the native cultures erased. you dont need to seperate on blood quantum thats weird purest ideology of needing to be some kind of pure blood like i cant believe thats an actual question. Yea notice how maori share similar statistics to other DARK skinned natives also we were restricted to reservations they just called them rural areas not reservations Maori were literally chased out of cities and settlements. We have representation for now but the process of removing that is happening as we speak just because it happened to native americans faster doesnt mean its not happening here. Our current government literally wants to remove New Zealands international indeginous protections so yeah try again. Maori do not have equal opportunity in education as long as english is compulsory by law and maori isnt this is why you need to stop listening to the same old conserevative colonizer rhetoric. Because that rhetoric does not give indegineous people the same rights to pratice cultural and economic structures as it does for white cultural and economic structures. Why cant japan be used here since its the perfect example of people only whining about indeginous languages and culture within colonized countries. No we do not have the same opportunities to learn both english and maori because english is compulsory by law and has been for 200 years. Lets also not forget that there is ALWAYS push back when colonizers see Maori language around the place why did the country just spend millions of dollars to have only english words and names in places if theres equal opportunity or both languages.Now your just talking nonsense you're ;iterally saying that the maori language is incomprehensible ?.The idea is absolutely rediculous if you havent figured out that the real reason everyone speaks english is because it was written into law by now then i am just goin to peg you as a racist beausee it seems like you are ignorant on purpose
    1
  189. @todd3095 no it would not be confusing thats just an excuse and a lazy one at that,\. No ones taking away maths and writing skills again more lazy excuses. There are elective maori schools English ones are compulsory so thats just more lazy excuses.Do you say anything that isn't a white conservative cliche. How would you feel if you went back to scotland to see your culture language and indeginous rights as a celt being erased by Nigarians.
    1
  190. @todd3095 So you'rere okay with dividing the country with a racist law that forces English but your not okay with this country's original language being given the same opportunity. This sounds alot like REAL racism. Mate i dont care about your story i care about being equal under the system as it should be I also dont care that your white i care that you're a colonizer. A colonizer is very much like a racist it is a mindset, not a genetic thing

  191.  @helenberry9082  So aevey one of my grandparents and all their syblings lied about getting the maori beat out of them. Wtb the old maori ive talk to upnand down the country are they all liars too. YOur pulling an opinion from a small group where ive been to many marae allover the country
    1
  192.  @helenberry9082  dude what are you talking about you buggers were forceing maori off of lands out of settlements etc dont try to pull the whool over our eyes we have acess to historical documentation now
    1
  193.  @helenberry9082  whats more practicle making a few teachers learn the native language or enforcing a language on 10s of thousands through law
    1
  194.  @helenberry9082  rural or not it was more common than not to beat ythe maori out of kids think of it this way it was common place to hit kids as punsihment for wrong doings right? Speaking maori is shool was generally a wrong doing its really that simple
    1
  195.  @helenberry9082  Maths, language, writting skills, these three main subjects of education had already been translated. If the languages were inomprehensable and concepts unteachable then there would of been no chance of maori learning english either
    1
  196.  @helenberry9082  1 i want people to understand that there is no good reason to defend the erasure of maori language and culture/colonization it was unnessacary and harmful to indeginous people. 2 id like people to understand that colonization is an ongoing problem for indeginous people world wide and so called non racists perpetuate that colonization. 3 i want equality under law if english is compulsory then so should te reo be. As for kiwi culture that doesnt exist we have colonizer culture and maori culture there is nothing specific to being a kiwi that can be considered kiwi tradition outside of the two things i said
    1
  197.  @helenberry9082  abortion and infantacide was common world wide thats not a maori issues to say so is racist. Next is about wanting children to be more pakeha this was born from white supremacy maori were considered savage barbarians closer to animals/beasts we were blcks ngrs to white people back in the day and pakeha were civilised people. So violence against /beating your kids was a practice brought over by settkers because hitting your kids was apart of their culture for thousands of years. Traditional Maori society did not hit kids that was a cultural practice taught by pakeha.Your loiterallygona sit here and say that DV wasnt due to pakeha when traditional maori society didnt hit kids and wife beaters were useually ut from the ommunity or given to the wifes family for them to settle the grievance. Where pakeha had the rule of thumb which means you can beat yout wife as punishment so long as the stick is no thicker than your thumb.
    1
  198.  @helenberry9082  your starting to let your racial prejudice show now. Your letting leak your ideas that maori are a much more savage and violent people in comparison to pakeha which is just incorrect
    1
  199.  @helenberry9082  there is a conversation i was having in this very thread with someone on the conservative side of the fence that was saying english is njot their first language but they were grateful to learn it here in NZ. Also i dont know if it was you or someone else in this thread but someone was literally saying that it was necassary to make everyone speak english because its more convenient that way. It wasnt has hard as you think oit was mate you seem to have a jaded percpetive that maori were living by the skin of their teeth on the brink of self extermination and or starvation, which is untrue. It started to flourish uunder our last government that actively worked to help normalise it. As for your statement making something compulsory doesnt help thats an absolute lie if that was the case our countries defacto language wouldnt be english. Just be honest and say either you dont want to learn it or you know theres enough raists to push back on it. how about you tell me what is kiwi culture and how is it unique to New Zeland ill wait. So you still want more for pakeha than maori with your oh Te reo should just be a hoice but if you want to be apart of society you need to speak english. This is quite literally racism and you dont even know it. Celebrate freedoms ? you mean basic human rights that wasnt typically a tradition of colonized countries including NZ. The bill of rights isnt even an old document it was written in the 90s
    1
  200.  @helenberry9082  1 infanticide and abortion was not common it happened but it wasn't common this is more colonizer propaganda like "canabalism was common" jst stop the propaganda. Next hitting kids was not apart iof traditional maori society that was taught by pakeha because that has been apart of their culture for thousands of years just like hitting your wife, niether of those were apart of maori society as a norm until post colonization where corporal punishment of your wife and kids was taught to be an acceptable means of punishing them.There was a literal law written by pakeha called the rule of thumb, wich said you could hit your wife so long as the stick you used was no thicker than your thumb.Its sad how lottle you know about the people you say you respect becauuse if you did know and respet maorinyou'd know they were mot the savage, beasts that you seem to think they were. Again violence against children was not apart of tradition maori society two if you ever hit your wife in traditional maori society you were either removed from the community or you were given to her family and they would settle the grievance. Its beoming aparent that you know littele about maori
    1
  201.  @helenberry9082  i think you also need to learn that most violnce is prevalent in poorer communities it doesnt care about ethnicity or race, there are similar trends across the board. Also if it is not a directlyc related to colonization why do other darker skinned people and indeginous people across the globe show up in similar statistics within their countries.. The only constant is colonization

  202.  @andreatodd3095  to be fair andrea i hear much more old conservative cliches from most people who reply to me its like you all read from a pre written set of replies

  203.  @helenberry9082  seems like some of my replies are being censored so let me address everything in a more palletable way. One infantacide and abortion was not common place please dont spread romours as if they were this is no different than spreading romours that canibalism was common practice amongst maori when it wasnt. Two this is just more propaganda child abuse came with colonization, its written in the holy bible as an acceptable means of punishment which is why alot of schools partook in corporal punishment not just in NZ but in colonized countries world wide and these same people that thought corporal punishment was okay also taught maori this is how you discipline kids, The abuse of kids was not apart of traditional maori society pre colonization lets also not forget there was also English common law that allowed for men to be able to abuse there wives through corporal punishment the law was written somewhere in the in the 1700s but like what i stated earlier about the kids this also has existed for over a thousand years within the the holy bible as an acceptable means of punishment. How ever maori did not have such leniency for things if you comitted such acts you were kicked out of the community or given to the wifes family and they would settle the grievance there and then. Its still so funny and so racist that you think that child abuse is maori culture and isnt an issue with colonizers teaching that certain means of discipline are acceptable in society then forcing a group into a class that has the worse statistics of violence over all in every country and then say its just maori doin maori things. You are so prejudiced but you literaaly dont even see it. You see maori as violent and thats it you have never asked any questions as to whether or not its a problem with class or terrible practices taught by colonizers you just think maori hit kids because its what they do.

The law was written somewhere in the in the 1700 but like what i stated earlier about the partiular forms of punishment this also has existed for over a thousand years within the in the holy bible as an acceptable means of punishment.

  205.  @helenberry9082  so one. i never said violence in general humans i general are violent i was talking about hitting kids because thats what you brought up. It was not apart of traditional maori society or native American culture it was colonizers that believed it to be an acceptable means of punishment. Two as you can see many indeginous groups around the world have similar negative statistics but the only constant is colonization and the forcing of people into specific classes that have the worse outcomes. Im going to ask you does class and poverty have a direct effect on crime and violence and also were indeginous groups forced into a class un willingly by colonizers. im not even sure if this is going to go through my last three replies got censored
    1
  206.  @helenberry9082  you are painting a very prejudie percepetive to be honest it seems like you see maori as violent people mores than your own. Its like you still hold old the old racist pov that ,maori are violent, criminals and bludgers

  208.  @helenberry9082  common in some iwi groups you mean two chiefs from two specifioc tribes it wasnt common practice even amongst the groups that had chiefs that did it this is more propaganda. As for the eating of childern our first primeininster wrote about his belief that this happened and he never seen it his entire time here because it was not common practice to canabalise people and even less so to do it to kids so stop pretending like it was please its so mis informed. Dude talk about rose tinted glasses the catholics were amongst the ones beating the maori out of kids. No the missionaries taught new types of agriculture and tried to convert maori to christianity. Again hitting kids was not normal for maori as for the well-documented instances those are post colonization. But hey if you have doumentation showing how common it was to abuse kids pre colonization please cite the source. Dude maori were not given the same opportunity as pakeha in the founding of the nation. You need to take your rose tinted glasses of oh we all got along and things were fine. We had the tohunga supression act which is literally a legislation to supress maori religion while christianity was being pushed there was also the New Zealand Settlements Act which allowed for the government to annex maori land, as long as they believed/said they were apart of the maori rebellion. There was also the burning of a church filled with old maori people and children by the government not beceause they were apart of a rebelion or combatants but simply because the governmnet said do it. Also during world war 2 maori land was annexed under the guise of it being borrowed and returned yet wasnt. There was also a police force created around the 60s to speifically target maori and arrest them if they were drinking past a certain time of day. I havent finished ill carry on into another post

  209.  @helenberry9082  PART 2 There was also segregation in NZ. From 1925 to 1962, Māori in the South Auckland town of Pukekohe endured racism on a pervasive scale. For example, most barbers refused to cut Māori hair, they were segregated at the cinema and most bars would not serve them alcohol. In the 1950s, the exceptional barber who would cut Māori hair had a special Māori-only chair for fear of offending Pākehā customers

  210.  @andreatodd3095  we are speaking in english because it was made so by law and that law is aroud 200 years old thats more then eough time to solidify a language as the defacto. Just beause i take the time to learn and express what ive learnt in away that makes colonizers uncumfortable doesnt mean i sound young it just means your so stubborn that you'll just dig your heels in regardles of the information that is presented to you

  211.  @helenberry9082  no infantaide was happening in britain and done for typially the same reasons and it was only outlawed in the 1930s.Sure And there would of been pockets of it in britian too did you that pakeha have recipe books for cookin darker skinned people, so i ask again please stop with these prejudiced remarks.all this anti smacking law is progressive left wing ideology though its not conservative at all which is why the laws not that old. look individual choice is a thing yes but again i need you to rflet on these three things 1 Are societies negative statistics mainly caused by poverty 2 were certain groups as a whole forced into it and 3 how long do you think it takes to get the majority of the community out of the gutter they were put in because it wont happen over night and again maori have really only had a good chance as a whole since the sixties. Remember pakeha as a whole had a headstart for 200 years so the two communities are not comparable in terms of having a fair go

  213. @erry9082 I was just trying to shed light on the fact that you were wrong in thinking that Maori were treated fairly in New Zealand but you were so adamant that they were. Then you went down this rabit hole of Maori are violent and needed to be saved from themselves. Now that you've finally decided to see the past as it was now we an discuss the long-term effects of that past. Ill put it in a few words to begin with and that is that what took generations and government intervention to do to a group will take generations and government intervention to undo

  214. @todd3095 does a person without prejudice think Maori are typically violent simply because. You still haven't answered why indigenous and dark-skinned people show up disproportionately in negative statistics worldwide within colonized countries

  215.  @helenberry9082  i nevver said hey lied i said it wasnt common place mate. Im judging colonizers not race mate. A colonizer is depicted by their ations not the color of their skin. It just so happens that pakeha were the ones colonizing

  216.  @helenberry9082  no you tried to useyour anecdotal experience to mitigate the in equality in New Zealand because every time i brought up inequalities you had to bring up anecdotal stories to try portay New zealand as fair or you tried to paint maori as violent people and enemies to themselves while depicting the pakeha as their saviours. so gay peopel are still fighting to be treated fairly dont act like theyre not and its the same for women. Funny thing is both of these groups were still above maori because of our dark skin and our indeginiety. No helen maori as a whole were not treated fairly i gave you laws that were racist you gave me an anecdote and your anedot only encompasses those close to you where as laws effect the nation

  222. what im worried about is that this governments crack down on crime seems to be infinging on basic human rights of free speech freedom of movement and freedom of ones own body. This looks like far right authoratian tactics not unlike North Korea Nazi germany and Communist China etc. Why are the right wing governments alays looking to authoritarianism as a solution. Arent righties pro freedom
