    i feel the same way about Maori since Labours persistent agenda of elevating Maori above other races, separatism ( apartheid ) will never work in N.Z. but, Labour obviously thinks it will since they want separate governance, separate hospitals, separate policing, etc. etc. the Labour party are barking mad, if re-elected there could be civil unrest to the point of civil war.

      A perfect and very apt comment. What you've said is what the majority of us feel. What really did it for me with Labour's insidious policies, is when they established a separate Maori health authority costing us poor sods an eye watering $750M. Jesus Christ, that's downright intolerable! Ever since 1969, I've always voted Labour. Never again. This time I gave both ☑️☑️to New Zealand First.

      Racism doesn’t require hate at all, that’s something you’ve been conditioned to attach to the word. I’m very comfortably racist and if I do experience a hateful response, it’s almost invariably to a direct attack against my people, for being themselves, in nations they’ve hewn for themselves. Get over the conditioning, find an old dictionary, look up the true definition of the word, discover how inert it really is and that the simple act of accepting reality requires not a jot of hate. The hate part is a contemporary addition, made to cater for the ideolgical demands of the politically tyrannical.

    If you are in a situation where YOU don’t feel safe and could be potentially threatening or dangerous to you whatever that is. Don’t let guilt compromise your safety and don’t feel guilted into a scenario just to be ‘kind’.
    Thoughts are not illegal.

      Doesn’t matter if he is a racist, everyone’s allowed to be if they want. The unceasing conditioning we’ve all been under to flagellate ourselves for the perceived crime of recognising racial differences is actually a crime against us and a form of abuse. Race is real, it generates the culture and behaviours of the respective racial groups and that’s just a stark & observable reality. If someone’s not a racist by now, with all the desperately unhealthy dysfunction that multiculturalism has demonstrably inflicted on the world via neurotic desires to be tolerant, they’re essentially a trained circus animal.

The conditioning to make us rear back in horror at the thought of racism, is a crime against us and attempts to depower/emasculate us, hence my opening comment declaring that it’s just fine & dandy to engage in it. Racism is an entirely organic function and the original and entirely inert definition of the word does not not include hate, malice, or superiority as prerequisite for its existence, meaning, it doesn’t matter if someone’s a comfortable & hate-free racist, except to those who’ve been unable to overcome the conditioning they’ve suffered, or to those who benefit from the label’s negative impact upon those they cast it against.

    @biggest23 Год назад +1

    Expressions of culture are intrinsically tied to race & the inherent responses to stimuli that are tied to the respective race that has experienced that stimuli, whether the conditioning we have all suffered under says otherwise. Culture is invariably downstream of race, so being uncomfortable with that knowledge and berating yourself with the label "racist" because you "noticed" that stark reality, is unhealthy for you in the moment and ultimately desperately unhealthy for the nation/civilisation you’re the heir & steward to.
    Racism is a label that’s applied in the hopes of anaesthetising a totally natural, organic & healthy response, purely for the benefit of those who would seek to have the works and products that you’re/we’re the heirs & stewards to, taken for themselves.
    I could not give two schidtts about that label of "racist" being applied to myself, either by myself, or by others, as I have many decades of international work & travel under my belt and know full well of the dysfunction that arrives with the saccharine displays of heavily socially engineered tolerance. I don’t need to strive to develop a tolerance for anything that’s healthy for me, because it’s inherently healthy and that’s the starkest reality of all, that working to develop tolerance, means you’re dealing with something that is not healthy for you.
    Accepting an innate & organic intolerance as something that is a guide marker, will keep you and that legacy which you are tasked with looking after, in fine condition for the heirs that come after you. Racism as a negative is a con cooked up by those that would seek to have you disarmed, as they seek that which you are the heir to.
