This stupid bitch is going to court over a 90 minute course

Also the course is specifically on maori world views in regards to land and working with iwi and maori clients, so it's not even like she's being taught about maori "religious" beliefs that could conflict with her own.

Yeah, I'm sure this wasn't a racial attack at all even though it's almost all in the clearly marked maori section of the Urupā and they destroyed maori symbols and set the Graves on fire and-

Also pretty minimal fucking coverage, I gotta say.

Now that National and ACT look like they're set for an awful term for new zealand, do not let yourself forget.

Don't forget how mainstream media accepted blanket national ads on news websites without question. How they promoted David Seymour and other right politicians as guests on comedy panel shows, pushing their profile and image. How they insisted on describing threats of genocide, violence and terrorism as "jokes", "opinions", and "honest mistakes".

Don't forget the national party members accepting saluting nazis in their midst. David seymour's "jokes" about violently murdering Pacifica people. The female maori politicians receiving death threats, being physically assaulted and having their homes invaded . Christopher luxon describing the poor as "bottom feeders". Their allyships with destiny church. Their attempts to frame queer people as predators. Their clear and ongoing attempts to redress antisemitic conspiracies into "maori elite" ones; and saying we should be literally exterminated.

And most of all, you BETTER not forget to take action. We have years to make sure this doesn't happen again, to ensure they can get as few of their disgusting plans accomplished as possible. We have to make change wherever we can and ensure that marginalized voices are accepted, supported and lifted up in our communities.

Fuck National. Fuck ACT. Fuck NZ First. And fuck all their pathetic little cronies.

We won't be silenced.

The NZ first party is now not only insisting that Māori people are not indigenous, they are also claiming that the only Māori who believe themselves to be so are "Elites" who need to be exterminated. Their definition of "elites" seems to be Māori who speak the language, are involved with or aware of their culture and history, or are generally not buying white supremacist bullshit.

A Māori party candidate has had her home broken into, her signs smashed down, her fence driven into and terroristic threats made both in these attacks and via mail.

Māori party billboards have been defaced with swastikas and broken down.

There have been two anti-māori marches in the last two weeks.

National, ACT, NZ First and a host of other far right parties are parroting and endorsing extremely racist conspiratorial shit about Maori and others. I am seriously worried that there is going to be a terrorist attack at a māori event at some point soon.

Tatou ma, we HAVE to vote in this election. And especially to pakeha, take further action. Support kaupapa māori, participate in the ongoing protests and counter-protests and educate yourselves. We have protests here supporting primarily American kaupapa that get more turnout than Māori led actions do. We need to change that.

I feel that māori are slowly starting to shift things in our favor, but unfortunately one of the clear symptoms of that is that right-wing extremists are scared enough to be making serious threats to our safety. Fuck them. Fuck them all. It will be a long fight over the next few years, but we /have/ to do it, if we want the best future for our country.

Why do British people and Americans come here, try to force shit to be more like England and america, and then complain that anything bad is "what they moved here to get away from". If you're going to import forcing everyone to speak english, you have to deal with car theft due to the child poverty you imported as well

[mucking-faori]

Can people stop saying that David Seymour, Winston Peters and other Māori bigot politicians are pieces of shit because they were uwu bullied and rejected by other Māori? We did not bring fucking racism upon ourselves. They're assholes because they're giant fucking sellouts who wanted to be in the rich kids club and line their own pockets, and they target maori because they're the easiest scapegoat for the people they're pandering to.

Feel like saying this- if you ever see anyone bring up Moriori people out of the blue in a discussion about co governance or colonial reparations; it should be a HUGE red flag. It's a favorite talking point of racists to "prove" that maori deserved to be colonized and aren't indigenous.

Moriori are from the exact same roots as maori people and arrived here the EXACT SAME FUCKING TIME AS THE MIGRATIONS. The moriori genocide myth has been disproven since NINETEEN SEVENTY SIX.

Yes, many moriori were killed and enslaved by some specific maori. This is and was terrible. But this happened DURING pakeha colonisation, not upon maori arrival to nz. And also pakeha (you know, the people this argument is meant to imply were ushering in a better society for all they were colonising) did nothing to help them despite repeated pleas and having promised to do so in earlier agreements.

They were not a pre-maori group that we killed to make way for ourselves. It is important to acknowledge moriori, and i'm not saying any acknowledgement of them at all is dangerous, but the fact that their history has been appropriated to serve the interests of people who hate moriori just as much as they hate maori, and almost definitely would not be able to distinguish the two, is disgusting.

[mucking-faori]

Mask off racists. Just obviously scapegoating maori for everything. This is disgusting and embarrassing for new zealand. Get ready for the hikoi to end all hikoi, whanau
