What Maori leaders frame as racism by white folks is usually not.
It’s the reaction people with a proud history of abolishing slavery and deposing tyrants have when we’re talked about like we’re slaves by people who act like they want to be tyrants.

@saltyreigns Maori leaders traditional treatment of slaves:
Can take fruits of their labour without reciprocity
Violence acceptable for backchat
Can denigrate whakapapa due to past grievance
Babies had with slave not slaves bc mana
Maori leaders treatment of non-Maori taxpayers:
See above.
I see the “more government, less freedom” folks are doing their usual thing where they misrepresent what people say then block their replies.
Seems to be a teacher too. That figures.
What a wonderful New Zealander Elizabeth Rata is.
As someone with three children in the education system, I would like to see her lead the reforms.
The (gay pedo) Foucault-worshipping Marxists must be purged from the education system.
Newly announced NZ First Candidate Elliot Ikilei has a great interview with Leah Panapa on why he joined NZ First :
“I couldn’t resist any longer, the values their love of our country, conservatism, patriotism, Nationalism, and commonsense”
“We have to look after our country, look at the UK, multiculturalism when people bring their own ways does not work”
“We have to keep the left marxist out, TPM, the Greens, Labour they will be brutal if they get in again”
Elliot has for many years worked with the community including troubled youth, advocated for family values and National identity. He’s been a staunch defender of free speech, openly criticised Trans ideology, and his activism against co-governance saw him becoming spokesperson for Hobsons Pledge.
Congratulations @ElliotIkilei a great candidate for NZ First and always a positive dude and a proud New Zealander.
Hey I’m just wondering: has anyone else gone through a time when their dogs were kind of cheering them up, and ended up calling them: “The Fungrels”.
Because they make things fun?
It seems so obvious.
The ole fungrel mob.
The Milankovitch orbital cycles are the primary force guiding the Earth's ice age climate patterns.
Orbital mechanics have long dominated climate dynamics, eclipsing the CO₂ narrative. The shifts from glacial to warm interglacial periods have been carefully studied for hundreds of years. These aren't just random fluctuations; they are a consequence of Earth’s positioning in space relative to the sun.
These three orbital anomalies are 'eccentricity' (orbital shape), 'obliquity' (Earth's tilt) and 'precession' (a planetary wobble). Their motions dictate the distribution of solar insolation flux (the angle of sunlight hitting the Earth), particularly at 65°N. CO₂ is at best a fainter secondary feedback mechanism, not the primary driver.
The oceans are warmed by natural variability - primarily from the sun, but also the positioning of landforms, the orbital anomalies, oceanic currents, water vapor, the prevailing winds, and endless storms, which are the drivers of atmospheric dynamics.
Oceans contain nearly 86% of the planet's surface carbon pool, while the atmosphere holds a mere 2%. When viewing the global carbon budget through this prism, the atmosphere is more like a carbon desert.
Once orbital cycles trigger initial warming, and oceans release absorbed CO₂ centuries later, there is an 800 to 1,100-year time lag. This is documented as a significant time gap in Vostok and EPICA ice cores.
It's difficult to accept that rising CO₂ could be the primary source of warming, given these other factors. This is further clouded by a 'smoothing' distortion called the Firn Gap. CO₂ isn't trapped instantly in past ice conditions; it circulates in the 'firn' (which is unconsolidated snow) for decades or even centuries before the ice seals it shut.
Because of this, ice cores average out centuries of data into a single data point.
Just a reminder that National’s corporate drones are continuing to make life harder for Kiwis on the basis of a big fat globohomo fraud, where we borrow billions then set them on fire as a burnt offering to mythical climate faeries.
ALL MAJOR CLIMATE DATASETS have been CORRUPED.
The changes invariably;
- eliminated all natural variablity
- cooled the last and warmed the present, creating a FALSE steeply rising temperature trend
- smoothed the entire record so that it matched the CO2 record better
Most changes have only been monitored since 2008.
Hansen and others were altering the data for decades before that. Here are SOME of the changes that have been made to major datasets; NCDC Changes;
“In the period 1982-2019 we have observed a decrease in cloud cover from 64 % to 61%.
This means that the Earth has received significantly more solar radiation.
This may well be the main explanation for the observed temperature increase of about 0.7C during this period.”

TWO LEADING PRINCETON, MIT SCIENTISTS SAY EPA CLIMATE REGULATIONS BASED ON A ‘HOAX’:
"William Happer, Professor Emeritus in physics at Princeton University, and Richard Lindzen, Professor Emeritus of atmospheric science at MIT:
“The unscientific method of analysis, relying on consensus, peer review, government opinion, models that do not work, cherry-picking data and omitting voluminous contradictory data, is commonly employed in these studies and by the EPA in the Proposed Rule.
All of the models that predict catastrophic global warming fail the key test of the scientific method: they grossly overpredict the warming versus actual data. The scientific method proves there is no risk that fossil fuels and carbon dioxide will cause catastrophic warming and extreme weather.
Climate models such as the ones that the EPA is using have been consistently wrong for decades in predicting actual outcomes.
To illustrate his point, he presented the EPA with a table showing the difference between those models’ predictions and the observed data."

@JonesVincentt Labour will never support abandoning their nuclear free policy, because it was a deal the commie side of Labour did with the Soviet Union in exchange for the neoliberal side of Labour having their reforms without the unions kicking off.
It’s treason.

We were studied and manipulated.
There have been no apologies.
There have been no trials.
Many of the same people are still in positions of authority.
The same useful idiots are still bleating “four legs good, two legs bad!”
Every obedience experiment in history had the same overlooked finding.
Not everyone complied.
In Milgram’s lab, 35% refused to deliver the final shock. In Asch’s line experiments, 25% never conformed, not once, across any trial. In Zimbardo’s prison, at least one guard refused to dehumanize. One prisoner demanded a lawyer instead of a doctor and broke the psychological frame entirely.
We spent decades studying the ones who obeyed.
We barely asked what made the others different.
That question matters more now than it ever has.
The resisters in the COVID era were not difficult to find. Physicians who filed exemptions and lost their licenses. Nurses who walked away from careers rather than mandate patients into decisions they hadn’t genuinely chosen. Scientists who published contrary data knowing what it would cost them. Parents who stood alone at school board meetings. Ordinary people who simply said, quietly, without drama , no.
What made them different?
Research consistently identifies a cluster of factors. Not personality traits you either have or don’t. Situational and cognitive patterns that can be cultivated.
First: prior reflection on authority. The resisters had usually thought, before the crisis, about the limits of institutional trust. They weren’t cynics. They were people who had already asked the question “under what conditions would I refuse?” before anyone was asking them to comply.
Second: a concrete reference point outside the consensus. A value, a principle, an oath, a relationship that existed independently of the institutional structure demanding compliance. Something the system couldn’t reach.
Third: at least one other person. Milgram found that a single dissenting confederate reduced compliance dramatically. The resisters rarely stood entirely alone. They found each other. Sustained each other. Gave each other permission.
Fourth: the willingness to tolerate social pain. Not immunity to it. Tolerance of it. They felt the pressure. They felt the exclusion. They chose the discomfort of integrity over the comfort of belonging.
None of this is innate. All of it is learnable.
The most important thing Milgram, Asch, and Zimbardo taught us is not how fragile conscience is.
It’s that conscience can hold, if you’ve trained it, named its limits, and found even one other person willing to hold theirs beside you.
Build that now. Because the experiment is always running.
Until then stay humble.
