  1. If she actually believed what she said at the end there, they would have to significantly raise benefits, and then they would also have to significantly raise the minimum wage, because neither have kept up with worker productivity or inflation for four decades. But National have a record of having that gap widen more than Labour(even though it's been widening under both), and I don't see that changing this time around either.

  2. I'm a Green voter, but I generally agree with Seymour here. I think he should have pushed back on the assertion that a jury is higher bar. Some people are stupid, including judges, but it's more likely you'll have at least 4 people who aren't very smart on a jury. At least judges are somewhat educated, even if they are also idiots and man r abuse currently.

  3. Good. What's radical is actually ignoring history and pretending that the radical things Maori had to endure never happened. Stopping a bunch of people going recreational fishing is not radical.

  8.  @ronniepon2590  It's not even close to apartheid. Apartheid was when 15% of the South African population(European Africans) ruled over the whole population. Co-governance would be democratic, unlike apartheid, in which African South Africans were almost completely disenfranchised.

  13.  @geotruthnz7013  Irrelevant. Some are probably Maori from other iwi not local to the area. Again, it's not radical. Beating te reo out of people, that's radical. Stealing land, that's radical. They are not the extremists, the racists are. They are not the extremists, the capitalists allowing unsustainable commercial fishing are.

  28. Poverty stems from inequity. For the past four decades, under both National and Labour, the gap between wages/benefits and worker productivity and inflation have grown, while profits have grown larger and larger. So essentially the rich get richer, while the poor get poorer. That's inequity. That's where poverty is coming from.

  32. I'm going to guess that at no point in this clip do they mention that four decades of having both major parties being on the economic right has caused people's buying power to decrease significantly because wages have stagnated while inflation, worker productivity and profits keep climbing, which just goes to prove that the rich are continuing to get richer, and the working class are getting slammed into the ground. Helen Clark was part of that problem.

  33. Yes, and? How does that make it less democratic?

  34.  @jnavonoD  You're thinking of capitalism, where the rules of the employer are the only thing that matter, and businesses are mini dictatorships. Socialism is just democracy of the economy. And in libertarian/democratic socialism, it's also democracy of social issues too.

She gave Paula the ability to say "well actually.." about the amount of people locked up for cannabis, when it doesn't matter how many are locked up, it matters how many are arrested and charged, which is a violation of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights Article 9, contrary to what Paula would like you to think.

People like you are in no position so say that I'm arguing based on opinion not fact. You're poorly educated and poorly informed. You don't seem to understand what a fact actually is. Gore won. Bush stole it. That's a fact. Please seek help.

  49. David is either a disingenuous liar, or a low IQ clown. We don't talk about the Treaty, we don't honour the Treaty, we honour te Tiriti, the version the iwi who signed it understood. Every time he says "the treaty" in this interview, he's referencing a defunct, irrelevant document. When he says "I don't think you should be treated different because you're a treaty partner" he's trying to make out that Maori are treaty partners(as per te Tiriti) but pakeha are not, separating the Crown from pakeha, as if we are not the Crown, but essentially we are. When he's saying that "one side always gets a veto" he's essentially just trying to lead pakeha in not honouring te Tiriti, but he doesn't speak for all of us, and that is essentially illegal. We can't go back on it now. When he appeals to other countries that have had essentially apartheid states, he's being completely disingenuous. There's no indication that honouring te Tiriti would lead to that. When he says he's committed to in education, health and housing, the policies of his party regarding those will all just make matters worse for the working class, which disproportionately includes Maori. So this is either disingenuous, or indicative of his having a low IQ. Just a bunch of dog whistles to low IQ racists. If he and his supporters hate and fear Maori so much, they should leave Aoteearoa and never come back.

  50. LOL. So what's gonna happen then? Oh wise oracle.

  51. There's no such thing as higher related hospitalisation rates.. There's no reason at all for anyone to ever go to a hospital because they smoked some cannabis, ever. Increased related traffic accident rates can be explained as both, a) misleading because there's no way of knowing the accident is actually correlated to cannabis use, it doesn't have the same effects as alcohol, and B) because when a drug is legalised, self reporting of usage under certain circumstances goes up. Increased mental health related hospitalisations can't be proven to be correlated either. All of this is propaganda based in specious reasoning that can't be proven to be true logically or scientifically empirically.
    3
  52. Aside from all of that, none of it is even a reason to make cannabis illegal. All of those problems are worse with both tobacco and alcohol, and we tax those products accordingly(and regulate their sale for safety also), to make up for their harm to individual users. There's no logical reason for the collective people of New Zealand to tell individuals what they can and can't possess in terms of only moderately or mildly harmful substances. None. In fact, given what we know about many of these substances, many of them should be legalized, so they can be regulated according to safety, and taxed according to health costs, because keeping them illegal and arresting and detaining people for possessing them given what we can prove scientifically about them, would be contrary to the Universal Declaration of Human Rights Article 9.

  53. Cook not relevant, yet she wears that flag.. Don't get me wrong, I sympathize with people's historical grievances, but it's weird that they still include the Christian god in their karakia, and wear and brandish the United Tribes flag, which looks like a colonial flag.. It's completely fucked up. I often wonder what these people are thinking.

  54. How does someone get coerced into marriage outside arranged marriages?.. How does that even happen?.. They show up at the registrar office being dragged by the arm with a black eye, and everyone just goes about their business?.. WTF?.. Then you have arranged marriages which are clearly a case of cultural coercion in which the person claims to be doing it of their own choosing, but there's clearly some nuance there.

  57. "Government" doesn't hate anything.. Government is the nations people deciding together how they are going to organise their polity. It is subject to a dialogue of opposing ideologies and the people who believe them, and this makes it subject to diplomacy between them. It can't have a singular ideal or focus.

  58. Why? They've got the best tax cut policy that will give more money to more kiwis than any other party. Sounds like good policy to me.

  59. This analysis about populism is very poor. It's largely focused on the rise of right-wing populism, and doesn't really identify what it really is.. While ignoring left-wing populism which is also on the rise.. It's not just about the economy and the elites with right-wing populists, they're the ones who make it about race and nationality. These guys make out that right-wing populists decry identity politics, when that isn't the case. Likewise with left-wing populism, I don't think we completely decry identity politics, but we definitely state that those things should be weighed against economic issues in terms of priority, and if that was done the economics would seriously help sort out some of the social issues. While other social issues may not be subject to that, but compared to the authoritarian left, the populist left isn't trying to focus on trans issues in a disproportionate fashion. But again, that's the difference between the populist left, and the populist right, because the populist right plays on those identity politics issues under the guise of not being "politically correct". Meanwhile, the populist left isn't as concerned about their lack of "political correctness" like the authoritarian left is, because we want to focus on the economic issues that effect both the populist left and the populist right, which some of the populist right can be pulled further left on. One of the major problems with this analysis, is that not once in mentioning Duterte, Bolsonaro, or Trump did they use the word "fascism" or "fascist", which is definitely applicable to the first two, and should at least be brought up with reference to some of Trump's rhetoric and aspirations, the checks and balances of the U.S. system the only thing keeping him in relative check.

  97. Where this political commentator is wrong: 0:25 - 0:35 Opinions are irrelevant. You should be able to say what you want, when you want and how you want, without any serious repercussions. Saying that as a libertarian Seymour should be in favour of people living without having hate speech directed at them is a form of doublethink. 3:17 - 3:31 Problem with this claim is that we have examples of people not have a fair definition of hate speech. I say this as a leftist. Perfect example was a incident with Bill Maher recently when he used a certain term and everyone took offence to one word, when that word was in then text of a conversation, and beyond that was used as the second word in a two word descriptor. They chose to ignore or didn't understand the context. And while this obviously wasn't an incident close to inciting violence, how long will it be before a bunch of idiots assumes a fairly innocent statement is actually doing that when it isn't. 3:53 - 4:08 We get to a harmonious society via education and understanding. State education, not state authoritarianism. Fund education more and expand the curriculum. Be proactive, not reactive. This is where the government failed in it's response to the Christchurch shootings, regulating firearms, and I'm not saying that all of those regulations were necessarily unreasonable but some may have been a little heavy handed, but they focused on the technical aspects of the weapons, rather than the processes around buying and licensing of the firearms, and things that relate to that such as police vigilance and white privilege. It was largely reactive and focused on the wrong things. 6:20 - 6:35 I agree with what this National person said there. And he made a good point with out actually saying it explicitly, but we already have laws around harassment etc. that people can be prosecuted for, and if it includes hatred based on race or gender or sexual orientation, then the judge can take that into account when sentencing. State authoritarianism where social issues are concerned should need to be explicitly evidenced and justified.

Secondly, you don't apply the scientific method to asking questions. Imploring others to do so demonstrates you don't know what the scientific method is. Thirdly, people who were educated better than you were do not need to ask many of the questions you posed, because they understand how poorly educated they would appear if they did.

Also, imagine thinking media should give fascists a "fair" shake. Jesus Christ.

  142. I mean, I agree, but it won't end this nonsense, because we should still honour te Tiriti anyway, with tangata te tiriti as a stand in for "the Crown". And as such, we will probably still have racists like David Seymour and his low IQ voters trying to do away with it.

  163. LOL. Why?.. Because I know scientific information about the harmlessness of cannabis use to the homo sapiens specimen?.. Or because I understand the difference in motor function inhibition between the effects of alcohol use and the effects of cannabis use, as experienced by the homo sapiens?.. Or because I understand that correlation does not equal causation?.. I'm confused as to which of these attributes is similar to "true believers"..

  178. What you're asking for is a media of false neutrality. What media should be is objective. And objectively the Democrats are horrible right wing liberals, and the Republicans are horrible right wing fascists. If you're a right winger, which I'm assuming you are, you should be glad that at least the media is willing to spin right wing liberalism as a good thing.

  183. Well, obviously you don't pay attention. Before the last election they were explaining that, while also pointing out that their plans were fully costed/accounted for, which was the total opposite of National wo made promises that when scrutinized weren't accounted for. People like you really need to pay attention or go back to school so you gain the skills to understand what you're being told.

  189. Correct, but incorrect. We are now the upholders of "the Crown's" side of the deal, as per democracy. And we will uphold it. Toitu te Tiriti.

  190.  @mitchelldenysschen3224  We should get rid of the monarchy, and "the Crown" label, move forward as a republic, but we don't really need a new constitution unless it honours and references te Tiriti.
    1
  191.  @mitchelldenysschen3224  Yeah, sure, if they want to disregard international law, which stipulates that the indigenous language version of such treaties are the versions to be upheld. A new constitution might also just be an excuse for a racist majority to ignore that and do away with te Tiriti altogether. Realistically, if Seymour, Luxon, Peters and their colleagues really want to go through with a referendum on an issue that should never go to referendum, they should be dragged through Den Haag all the way to prison.

  192.  @mitchelldenysschen3224  Well you don't interpret all laws through it, at least not as far as I'm aware, but international law stipulates that when it comes to treaties with indigenous people by colonizers, the indigenous language version is the one to be upheld. So "the treaty" isn't worth the paper it's written on, instead we uphold te Tiriti.

  193.  @StGammon77  Yeah, nah, they don't know what they're talking about.

  195. True, but that shouldn't mean doing away with te Tiriti. We should still honour it with tangata te tiriti standing in for "the Crown".

  206.  @thomasr246  How is that different from Europeans? It's not. In fact, Europeans were more brutal. Maybe research all the torture devices used and all the wars across Europe over the centuries, and give your fucking head a wobble. What you are talking about in philosophy is called the state of nature bias, which basically means new world societies had a different relation to the land than Europeans, and Europeans came along and couldn't compute that mode of relation, and then imposed ours on them. That doesn't mean they didn't appreciate it or use it. In fact, it realistically means new world nations were more civilized and enlightened when it came to land/property rights. Again, give your racist head a wobble. Clown.

  210. These proposed laws are a violation of human rights, namely the right to freedom of association and freedom of expression. These politicians should be locked up. They're a danger to freedom.

  211. Yeah, but both the Dems and Republicans will ignore all that because they're all capitalists. Their metric for saying it's doing well is based on bullshit measures like the speed of inflation and trade with other countries and nonsense like that.
