Pee Kay: Equal Rights is Being Quietly Euthanised

Last week, I pulled back the curtain exposing a small fraction of the financial reality of Māori privilege. Today I’m endeavouring to follow the trail to the very source of the decay. Today I’m looking at the systemic foundations that sustain Maori privilege.

New Zealand isn’t just drifting toward a two-tier society, I say we’ve already arrived!

While we go about our daily lives, a quiet revolution is being engineered by the very people sworn to represent us. This isn’t a conspiracy; Oh no, it’s a co-ordinated march toward tribal rule, led by politicians and protected by a shield of complicit media, elite academics, and bureaucratic “gatekeepers.”

David Lillis: Sorry, Professor Mutu – You do not Convince!

In academia much bogus knowledge is tolerated in the name of academic freedom - which is like allowing for the sale of contaminated food in the name of free enterprise. I submit that such tolerance is suicidal: that the serious students must be protected against the “anything goes” crowd. Mario Bunge (2010)

Can we Possibly Cooperate?

Recently, we have seen numerous articles and heard interviews on colonialism and historic repression from people such as Professor Margaret Mutu. We agree with Professor Mutu that colonialism brought negative experiences for indigenous people and that historic racism has left a legacy that is felt to this day. However, as Professor Mutu knows, indigenous communities were not themselves innocent of repression and exploitation of others. Just as various oppressors across different parts of the world at different times were guilty of murder and theft of property and lands, so too did indigenous societies engage in warfare, enslavement and cannibalism – behaviours that were not unknown before the arrival of Europeans – even here in New Zealand.
