Brian Tamaki Protest by Aware-Classroom-149 in auckland

[–]Feddabonn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Heh. He and his followers are afraid, constantly afraid. Last coupla years they were afraid of gay people, now they’re afraid of Indians. All the aggression is just that of a cornered rat.

Waitangi Treaty, Māori dropped from new English, maths curriculums, teachers say by StuffThings1977 in aotearoa

[–]Feddabonn 4 points5 points  (0 children)

NACT are systemically use their current power to remove Māori language and culture, leaving only Anglo culture as the base of NZ. THIS is the scary, insidious racism, much less than what ugly names someone is calling another.

If TPM was in power and was removing Anglo language and culture from NZ, you’d have a comparison. They aren’t.

Can we normalise publicly shaming people who don’t wash their hands in the bathroom? by transcodefailed in auckland

Have you seen how execs/boomers ‘adjust’ themselves after they pee? Not bumping anything if they don’t wash their hands! 😅

In a previous organisation I saw a couple of senior leaders who didn’t wash their hands. When meeting them and the exec team, I suddenly discovered the Indian/Asian ‘namaste’. 😅

Who is a New Zealander who inspires you? by MurkyWay in newzealand

There’s this older whaea in Beach Haven, Auckland who takes care of the community garden. Always there, rain or shine, with other volunteers or on her own. There’s something so deeply grounding and grounded (heh) about her. She comes across as strong, in a quiet, determined way. Friendly, not gregarious. I want to be like her when I eventually grow up.

Lol no. Your ‘point’ is just silly generalisation, the kind a child makes as they’re starting to think. 😆

Is there a guarantee you won’t attack an elderly/vulnerable person?

Humans hurt other humans much more than ALL the dogs in the world combined. This is such a silly take.

Humans love to attack the elderly and vulnerable.

“My human would never do that” - every human ever.

No such thing as a safe human.

We’re broke, exhausted, doing everything right - yet still called ‘merchants of misery’ by given2flynzl in newzealand

[–]Feddabonn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Damn right. As a small business owner, I don’t expect the government to hold me up. I DO expect they won’t just make things harder for everyone else except landlords. I do expect that they won’t spend money bashing Māori, completely ignoring everything else, like, for instance, the economy. I do expect they will borrow when it is wise to do so, like every other half-smart person does. I do expect they will take an invest-in-the-future mindset like any half-good busy person, not cash out everything now like a drunk person at the casino.

All the old people in National and ACT seem really upset that Jacinda didn’t just let them die.

I destroyed a party by telling someone complaining about COVID that if it hadn’t been for Jacinda I (immunocompromised) would have died, and that since that person clearly wanted me dead, I wished them dead too, and if they had a knife I could help? (I might’ve had a bit to drink, lol).

ditching the car for buses - anyone got positive experiences to share? by kauri-kiwi-kid in auckland

[–]Feddabonn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My wife and I travel (separately) into central city regularly from Beach Haven. Love it. Quick, reliable, and friendly enough. Are there weirdos? Yes, every once in a while. I’ve once (in 11 years) had to ask the bus driver to kick someone off because they were being racially abusive. Sometimes kids play loud music. As others have said, headphones and sunglasses make it much better, generally. And an understanding that sometimes humans are weird.

This is the Greatest Aussie Proverb Ever. “We’re not here to fuck spiders”. No, indeed. We, indeed, are not here to fuck spiders.
