  1. I wish people like you had paid more attention in school.

  2.  @briankelly5828  -1.3 million hectares stolen by the Crown. -Maori disproportionately poorer than Pakeha. -Maori life expectancy ten years lower. -Making arguments with the poorly educated rarely educates them. There's some facts for you.

  3. LOL.

  4.  @bobsemple07  Yes, and fixing it is addressing SYSTEMIC issues.

  5. Nah, doesn't seem like it really. Perhaps you need some history and law lessons.
    13
  6. No, he doesn't. You need a better education.
    13
  7.  @bighorn1994  Nah, it's Seymour and his voters who should leave. Their racism against tangata whenua doesn't belong here. Speaking as tangata te tiriti myself.
    12
  8. Nah.. No one needs to hear that shit.
    11
  9.  @lesrestall807  LOL. Well you certainly didn't.

  10.  @naisyjohns  Oh yeah, so what are they doing then? Enlighten us.

  11. LOL. Incorrect. She should be forced to get an education.

  12.  @peterlattimore6013  I'm an adult educator. I educate the poorly educated over the internet.

  13.  @dillianwhyte443  Go back to school.

  14. LOL

  15.  @throughput6674  True that. I just wish David Seymour had learned more before he opened his ignorant mouth. Tautoko.

  16.  @dillianwhyte443  Because 1) I don't get paid to educate you, and 2) I don't want to listen to Winston First babble on again. Educate yourself.

  17. Seek help.

  18.  @naisyjohns  Nah, nah, nah.. They say they want to have a "conversation" about the treaty.. To their supporters, that seems to mean getting rid of certain aspects of how the government functions with regard to Maori, e.g. the Maori health authority. And built into this "conversation" is white supremacy, and ignorance of international treaty law, because they're talking about the "treaty" and not "te tiriti", and in accordance with international treaty law, te tiriti is the only one that matters.

  19. Ok, racist. Europe is that way. Haere ra!

  20.  @bobsemple07  Nah, there is, his "discussion" is just racist dog whistling.

  22. LOL

  23.  @briankelly5828  1. Nonsense. 2. Why do you think that is? Are you dense? 3. Yes, and that s the point of the Maori health authority to try and change those things that don't change overnight. 4. The problem with Aotearoa's economy is that wages and benefits haven't kept up with worker productivity or inflation for four decades. That's what really depresses incomes. 5. LOL. Hilarious. As if it is me who needs to read more Michael King. You're the one being too simplistic. Which is ridiculous if you've actually read what you say you've read. 6. Go back to school.
    4
  24.  @marcusworrall3386  Yeah, for sure. Most of the land theft was after that too. They tried to justify it by claiming it was about aggression from Maori, but a lot of that was from tribes that didn't sign the treaty, so they were within their rights to respond to British settlers encroaching on their territory.

  25. Being economically left wing is a prerequisite for being pro environmental protectionist. Not to mention being pro human rights, which the Greens are, because what other reason other than humanism would one have to be pro environmental protectionist. This isn't the own you think it is.
    4
  26.  @rockyjones2563  Not really. Labour have been a center right neoliberals party since the 80s, and as such we've had four decades of wages and benefits not keeping up with worker productivity and inflation, which has contributed to a rise in poverty and a housing crisis. They didn't just legalize cannabis instead of putting it to a bullshit referendum, which would have been the right thing to do based on the evidence. The only good thing they handled well was COVID, but they still managed the economy better than any National government would too, but of course the poorly educated don't understand any of that.
    4
  27. No, that's not what's happening at all. International law stipulates that with treaties like Te Tiriti, the indigenous language version is the one that is to be recognized, and in Te Tiriti Maori never seceded sovereignty, so realistically 50% of parliament should be made up of Maori seats. Seymour and Luxon are trying to dishonour tangata te tiriti's end of the deal, and as tangata te tiriti myself, I find that disgusting. We need to honour what the Crown signed us up for and give Maori the 50% of power that Te Tiriti ensures. Not try to destroy Te Tiriti altogether like they're trying to do.

  28. The Crown = the Government. Go back to school.

  29. Your brain is very, very smooth. Go back to school.

  30. Did Bridges just use the ol' Trump "they were laughing with me, not at me" bit?.. LOL.
    3
  31.  @21kiwi24  You need a better education. International law stipulates that we defer to the indigenous language version or treaties, and in Te Tiriti, Maori never seceded sovereignty. Also, not all Maori tribes signed the treaty, so the ones who took up arms were entitled to, and to top that off, the Crown stole some lands from some tribes BEFORE they ever took up arms.
    3
  32.  @lesrestall807  LOL. You shouldn't. This government is bad for this country.
    3
  33.  @simplygreen5832  Yes, because it is dysfunctional. And that's not antisemitic because Palestinians are semitic too.
    3
  34. Actually, as per Te Tiriti, there should be more Maori seats so they make up 50% of the seats in parliament. Unless you think we pakeha shouldn't stick to the deal we made? Interestingly though, you're right about them being racist, because they were created when Maori were still the majority of the population in order to disenfranchise Maori. Need to fix that by increasing them from 7 to 60.

  35. TBF, most of you are poorly educated.

  36. Thought you guys wanted us all to be one people? What happened to that? They can't involve themselves in elements of the introduced culture?

  37.  @AmonAnon-vw3hr  No, people expecting journalists to be unbiased is cringe. We should expect them to be objective, and if they were objective, they would be much more biased towards Chloe. But being smart is commonly accepted to be "cringe" so I guess wrong is right, and right is wrong.

  38. Because this is Aotearoa.

  42. LOL. You've mislead yourself there, then.. They just showed you the STATISTICS. Your anecdotal perceptions are shit.
    2
  43.  @aaronmarsh873  Well you obviously haven't read enough of them because a few of them contain facts. I'm less interested in arguments, because arguing with the poorly educated often makes both parties look stupid. Also, I wasn't screaming in any of them, so your ignorant perceptions are about as fact based as David Seymour's dog whistling. Go back to school.
    2
  44. So the cops are just sitting on 200K?.. TF?.. If you look or wait around a bit, I think you should be able to pocket it.. I lost my wallet recently with a few hundred cash in it, nobody returned to me even though it had my license inside it. If you've got something to go on, you should return it, but if not..

  45. We're fucked. We'll be a third world country soon.

  46.  @throughput6674  LOL. We don't have any socialists. Labour have been a center right neoliberal party since 1984, and the Greens are center left social democrats. Please educate yourself.

  47. I doubt they are fake accounts. This country is extremely poorly educated.

  52.  @throughput6674  Nah, I'm a Green voter and I'm annoyed most of this country is poorly educated.
    2
  53.  @JamesClark-cg1qk  Maybe. Depends on which era they went to school, I guess. Point is, they're pretty poorly educated either way. Which is pretty common in this country.
    2
  54.  @philipwilliams6307  Are you speaking of racist myths, or the actual history? Because with regards to the actual history, that was two specific tribes, it was during British colonization of Aotearoa, and MoriOri are a tribe of Maori themselves. Just so you know. And because it was a knock on effect of colonization, they have been paid reparations and got their land back via the Crown.
    2
  55. "Radical" is the wrong word in my opinion. It just gives fuel to the poorly educated who don't understand political science and philosophy to make out the Greens, the economic left, and social libertarians are somehow "extreme". And I get that "radical" in relation to this right wing Overton window is possibly the correct framing, but they don't get that, and probably interpret it to mean that we want them to be "far left", when they are only barely center left, and what we really need is for them to be solid left.

  56.  @Colin_Izer1111  LOL. Ok, Boomer.

  57.  @lesrestall807  That's not what they're saying. Maybe you should pay more attention.

  58. These allegations are not serious at all. What a joke.

  59.  @rafflesiaandfriends  You know what's strange.. When I came back to this comment to see what the third reply of "Aye ?" was responding to, both your and my comment couldn't be seen. I had to open this video in a new tab and click the Newest comments tab then scroll down and find this comment in order to see our comments. It's weird that factually accurate comments with regard to history and economy are hidden like that. It's almost as if the mainstream media don't want people pointing out that they're wrong every time they call Labour a center left party. Yet according to all the poorly educated lunatics, we have a lEfT wInG mEdIa. LOL

  67. He should be prosecuted to fullest extent of the law. Home invasion, theft and property damage are all crimes that have victims. Using cannabis is an action that creates no victims. Further, the opinions of people like yourself, and Tee here, is completely invalidated by the Universal Declaration of Human Rights Article 9, so it should be ignored.

  74.  @rafflesiaandfriends  It's definitely better and more democratic than FPTP though. The problem is the campaign funding system that gives those that are already in parliament more funding based on how many seats they already have. It disadvantages minor parties both in and outside of parliament.

  78.  @chrisrutherfurd9338  So having respect for tangata whenua is bad? Could it be that you are so obsessed with race that you had to comment on a news clip about a party that you don't even like? Your racism is showing, me thinks.

  89.  @Colin_Izer1111  LOL. Marxism is economics, and universities actually indoctrinate people with the opposite ideology when it comes to economics and business. Completely contrary to the facts, BTW. LOL I haven't been to university either, but at least I understand what Marxism is, and what they teach in economics and business studies at university. LOL

  98. Labour are about directly center of the economic spectrum. They're barely on the left at all.

    1
  106. LOL. This is a social issue, nothing to do with left or right, left and right is economic spectrum. But, now, if this was a left/right issue, so let's for your benefit call social libertarians "left", and social authoritarians the "right", how is this "we" being anything remotely left?.. We're still pretty well right if you look at the facts of what happened here.. This guy has been allowed to enter someone's residence and take someone's property and destroy it, without being prosecuted for any of it, because the items in question are allegedly illegal, even though that illegality is actually in contradiction to the Universal Declaration of Human Rights Article 9. This is only a discussion in the media about something. To that "we" as a society are getting too far libertarian because of a discussion is ridiculous, other than if you could find me a lefty in NZ far enough left that they consider the theft of personal property to be something that should be legal, which I don't think you could, and if you could, those people have no systemic power. Like, at all.
    1
  107. Again, the media is "left" in what way?.. Because it's more socially liberal?.. Again, that's not actually left, and even then, it only appears to be to people who are old and stuck in their ways, because the Overton window has shifted over the past few decades. It's not that the media is extremely socially liberal, either. It's just that human society is waking up out of a period in which our governments have been particularly authoritarian, the Nazis and Soviets aside. Some people seem too used to that old way. As you say, they "need to learn the harsh reality".. No, you need to learn the harsh reality, that that harsh reality is human rights abuse, and opinions like yours should be void because your opinion should be considered outside the Overton window permanently. Punishing people for smoking cannabis is just not logical. Just because a law currently is one way, doesn't actually mean that it should be that way. BTW, all the media in New Zealand is corporate, so it actually has an inexplicably fiscally conservative, or right-wing, slant.. Even far-right, considering the likes of Mike Hosking and Paul Henry have been key media figures in New Zealand over the past decade.

  108. LOL. I mentioned Nazis because I was defining moderate social authoritarians, like National and Labour, from extreme social authoritarians like Nazis and Soviets.. And I'm the fucking idiot?.. LOL. > Because it suits you to use cannibals you use a totally bias argument with no merit. This is completely incorrect. Please go back to school. > The NZ media is very left and everyone seems to know this but you. CORPORATE! IDIOT!

  120.  @MrBrandomized  Ok, racist. Let me clue you in on a few facts. There are very few Maori who are part of the economic "elite" in this country, for a start. Most Maori are rather poor on average relative to others. I'm pakeha and I support the movement to stop this government, so it's not just some bRaInWaShEd MaOrI that are supporting this movement, secondly. Thirdly, they're not handouts, they're reparations for past wrongdoings of the Crown that stole Maori land contrary to Te Tiriti, the deal that we pakeha made with Maori then reneged on, and are now trying to do again. We are not brainwashed, sir. We are educated on the history of this country, and international law with regards to treaties made with indigenous populations. What ACT and National are doing is illegal with regard to international law, and they should probably all be locked up.

  141. IT is not public property though.. It's someone else's property, that is theft. It's BURGLARY if you have to go onto someone else's property in order to steal their property.

  149.  @RJH755  I don't think they mean proper rigged, just rigged in the sense that parties get campaign funding based on how many seats they already have in parliament, which disadvantages minor parties whether they are in parliament or not. Not to mention the media is biased towards National and even ACT, and they tolerate Labour, while shitting all over the likes of the Greens and NZFirst, and Winston played up to that to make it seem like he's an anti-establishment vote, despite always basically being a center right party.
