I am not buying Domino Pizza. And I protest against the Maori protest.
Just another WOKE business to avoid eh.
Domino's must be crazy. How much trade will the te reo waffle bring? How much will it discourage customers by annoying?
What possible link is there between pizza and maori other than that they devour a lot of? How many of the maori words appear in Willaims original dictionary? At the time "puha and pakeha"or "puha and (insert some other tribe)" about all they would have understood.
It seems large sectors of the public still do not relise we have entered the P.M era; Post Maorification. Activity in the Manawatu evidence of.
Maori pizzas! Who would have guessed.
I give this piece of blatant woke corporate virtue-signaling a few months at most before it gets dumped.
The Dominos CEO and management team really aren't on to it, are they. They've had 3 years of this Labour sponsored crap and they finally adopt it AFTER a coalition is elected who has openly come out against stuff like this.
Hopefully their customers will vote with their feet and go get another takeaway somewhere else. You know, where they can read the menu!
Another retailer to add to my list of no go.
dominos - made by immigrants, delivered by immigrants, owned by immigrants. i wonder if any of delivery boys can tell what the item is in maori!
'convoys delayed traffic across North Island cities yesterday morning'
excuse me??? what the hell are they talking about?
The only thing keeping the woke movement afloat at the moment is their alliance with corporations and the 'establishment' media. Globalist think tanks still spend billions of dollars funding social justice programs and the current government provides cover for the exploits of far-left zealots. Without the elites, the woke ideology would not exist.
Go woke - go broke !!
Sadly there has been no report of the Manawatu penis amputation incident. So I address nonetheless....
Anyone who has mixed with maori, and especially young men, or who has watched Billy T, will know that snide cracks at colonists, masquerading as humour, is regular mana gaining fare. At the 2019 hui a representative of the Tupuna Maunga Authority stated, in words just slightly less direct, that sticking it to the colonists was part of their driving ethic. Giant sized, exaggerated, statue type carvings with notable sex organs are a latter day manifestation of the practice. It is only the certain existence of cameras which has kept Rewa and Thompson at the Park Centre in Scenic Drive Auckland intact. To whoever did the deed on the absurd representation in the Manawatu, congratulations. Innumerable serious, not mickey taking, European statues and memorials have been disfigured over the years. A disfigured travesty is nothing in comparison.
I doubt of authorities realise the scope for use of battery powered grinders. As the maori revolt warms our power pylons will be at risk from those bent on returning us to the stone age.
Has the news item not reached Garrick yet? Confusion with castration would seem but one of a myriad themes.
As with so much maori twaddle today, it would be of great interest to know the source of it all, the dates first recorded etc. Dredging the imagination of someone even 90 years old does not go back far, and if based om "memory" very fallible. Persons are free to indulge in any inefficent hobby, provided they do not waste other's time, and the alleged maori calendar and application of very much in that category.
This is what google told me about te reo: "Current estimates for the number of fluent speakers range from 30,000 to 150,000, which is about 10 to 20 % of the total Maori population. This may not seem like a huge percentage, but it is an improvement from early 1900's. All Maori now speak English, and almost all Maori today have European ancestry."
So if maori themselves do not want to learn their own language then why should the rest of us get forced to? Will we end up with the utterly ridiculous situation of smug white liberals all talking together in te reo while maori people can't understand what they are saying?
re the 4th
I dunno if it is my computer or me (not very au fait with these new fangledthingies) but screens often jump about and revert. Hence the comment below got misplaced;
I know she is so only by association with her husband but it the likes of Lady Moxam which causes principled rational souls like Helen Clark to forego honours. In many countries persons inciting violence would be jailed. Hopefully the stock instinctive inbred maori reaction of unquestioning violence will generate an interest in the Treaty Princples topic by the public generally, and lead to runaway publuc support for rational legal definition.
re Anonymous 6 Jan, some months ago on RNZ yet another glib tongued young maori wahine (in this case maiden) expressed concern about open te reo courses for the reason anticipated. It seems there are many colonists (anyone descended with pure blood) with IQ and spare time far greater than mine who attend these hobby courses and outshine hic maori. For the very few who earn an easy living off what they absorbed from their environment when young te reo is a valuable taonga. But for the vast majority of maori, effort directed at a stone aga based now mostly contrived hobby language represents a gross mis direction of any effort they are capable of.
