Cue a white ham hock ranting "One group of people shouldn't have more power than the other!"

THEY DON'T HAVE MORE POWER YOU FUCKING IDIOT, YOU'RE JUST MAD THEY HAVE ANY POWER AT ALL!

I fucking hate this racist ass country. Yeah sure, New Zealand should be more like Australia where we just build tacky hotels for corrupt rich white dickheads on top of a sacred indigenous graveyard.

I hate this place. Fuck white colonial mentality. I hate that I'm related to a people that built empires on the skulls of "non-whites."

      NZ went super hard on neoliberalism, much worse than Australia - they've done some more tokenism (now ripped up by Luxon) but the outcomes are still shit

          I meant in relation to domestic policy, though Australia is closing that gap and exceeding NZ on neoliberal brutality on a couple of fronts

          But you still have odd things like no capital gains tax in New Zealand and a very low maximum income tax rate

    Its such blatant sowing of fear after the Voice referendum.

    They don't want indigenous peoples to get even a largely symbolic gesture, and to make sure it never even approaches a ballot box ever again, we're going to air documentaries about dystopias where indigenous peoples have an ounce of power!

    I can't take New Zealand seriously with that accent of theirs. They destroyed the Maori language and culture just to walk around saying "deck" like "deeke." Seriously should deport all white New Zealanders back to the UK or at least Australia so they can learn to talk in a way that makes sense.

    Reminds me of white americans saying american indians are too powerful just because some guys own a bunch of untaxed casinos, and those guys may or may not look like anti-cracker-aktion

      Crybully is such a good name and I'm pissed because the first time I heard it was from Ben Garrison hopping on the "anything to the left of Hitler is bad" bandwagon.

    The only Maori in NZ with too much power is Winston fucking Peters.
