SLAM DUNC: People Need to Chill Out

[@karenmaxwell2618]

Well said Duncan, when people resort to this type of behavior it is very clear who has the problem. As I understand it this bill is going nowhere as the other parties wont support it. If that is correct why all the hatred. If you have lost any friends over it Duncan, they are a friend not worth having. Keep up the great work.

[@libgapper9761]

Well said your very important for this country

[@kiatupato182]

Did you know Duncan, that I am being made to feel uncomfortable for saying 'Kia ora' when I greet the cashier at the shop. What kind of New Zealand are we living in when an innocent 'Kia ora' is met with animosity?where am I living? (Kia Ora means hello, I hope you are in good health). I am saying 'Kia ora' and the reaction I am getting, it's like I am doing a hold up or something. I do not want to feel forced to not say 'Kia ora'. Shocking stuff for 2024.

😢❤ Sending you big hugs and posi vibes freedom of speech and the right to free speech and debate has come to an all time meltdown unfortunately for the poorer illiterate tax payers they have radicalized their possition not the discourse to oppose more I feel it has created a racial outrage of politicizing more how we should be the mainstream media and politicians have bn in bed 🛏 all along while the high commisioners and office bureaucracy have allowed this to happen with the backing of 🏦 banks and their elitist circles of people who only look after their interests first. Im seeing this more with our iwi and the people they choose to surround themselves with and are worried our next generation are getting screwed over and hoodwinked here.

[@stevehughes1510]

Just say hello, g'day or hi there, more to the point.

[@Bonsqueesquee]

They've been brainwashed Duncan. It's like beating a dead horse. These people have been hacked and there's no self awareness.

[@mike4179]

Well said. I'm tired of the for or against society we have become. You express your thoughts on a subject and you're instantly labelled or catagorised. What happened to discussing issues on their merits, does it make sense etc?

[@stevehughes1510]

Commonsense is short supply these days, especially with those who pontificate about political matters, banal stuff mostly.

[@kiatupato182]

The NZ health system is shit for everyone, stop blaming it on Maori. We cannot even get a urgent Mental Health appointment for over 2 months. How ridiculous is that.

[@Awakenotwoke-lf3ej]

We are all worried about the future of our country .

[@brucegibbins3792]

That's a bit of an assumption that "we" are all worried about the future of this country, our country. Sure, there's always people that have twisted themselves into knots because they can't face the inevitability of change - one of life's true certainties. Adapt or die, has underpinned all life on planet Earth.

[@beejallison8283]

There are problems all over the world not just here cost of living for example is something that played a huge role in American voters what they didn’t realize that happened everywhere

[@kiatupato182]

Also Duncan, there is a group of Vile racist New Zealanders who are actively inciting hatred towards Maori. Some comment threads are off the charts. All who pushed this Bill through, can really be proud of themselves for sure.

[@Kiwi-LSA]

This was brewing before Davids treaty bill came out ! Look at what tpm have been doing for the last few years, from Maori for Maori, says it all

[@stevehughes1510]

The bill isn't 'pushed through' it's dead in the water, do you know that ?

[@dossnone4554]

That one works both ways from what I'm reading. Perhaps it's time this boil is burst.

[@crazyworld7115]

Welcome to my world as a white male so-called racist colonialist" unfortunately you don't get to pick and choose witch history that you would prefer...

[@4268928]

Didn't you do a post yesterday about the All Blacks haka?

[@libgapper9761]

When one political party goes more radical it casues the other side to do the same. I feel this all started with the last government with jacinda , all her radical reforms has created people to become anti maori which is sad as prior to her government maori culture was welcomed but since her its made people uncomfortable due to it being forcefully shoved down everyone throats Maori culture is part of us but when anything is forced it creates resistances

[@JimmyJenks-u8v]

Those peeps were already anti Maori. I grew up with many old white guys being severely racist and trying to convince me to join the club. I saw them for who they were, angry and confused old men. Nothing has changed, now they are trying to convince others cursed with the same anger and confusion. Maori culture is our culture as New Zealanders, it's not separate. There is no 'appropriate' threshold. It is about intolerance and ignorance and just plain racism.

[@aapi1253]

one thing iv learnt is when the protest people say look here while the govt says look here then im only interested in looking at whats not being talked about

[@kiatupato182]

Yes, the Bill I think is just a smokescreen. They desperately want to drill for Oil and consulting with Iwi and Environmental groups is annoying. Couldn't even consult Iwi over the Treaty Bill.

[@kiatupato182]

Drilling for oil, selling assets and something about a Water company in Canada.

[@kiatupato182]

If you care about equality of rights and responsibility... all who support the Bill need to do a couple important things first. Over 26,000 Hectares of Maori Land locked in perpetual leases right now. Maori owners not allowed to charge Fair market rates and make a Fair income for over 100 years. Thousands of acres of Maori Land on 99 year leases. Many not paying a Fair lease rate (many not paying anything) for decades now, which is reason enough to break lease. Some say 'but look at the improvements I have made' but you haven't paid a Fair Lease fee for decades, viewing it just as 'Maori Land'. Take the buildings and move onto other Land where you get Free or extremely low lease rates. Fair Treatment? Equality? These Lease agreements are modern day scamming and theft over a span of 50,60,70,80,90,100 plus years. Until these unequal Treatment of Maori get rectified, all who support the Bill are HYPOCRITES❤

[@nedKelly-x3z]

You're a strange one, history's one thing that's happening, history is fact, time can not be changed, it's the evolution of time, that shit happened you can't change it by making it up, who knows for a fact that something happened if nobody was there to see it and make an actual accurate account of it, instead we have to believe someones story handed down generation, like Chinese whispers, of course there's discrepancies here and there land was confiscated some had to be for the future of NZ some for punishmen, that was life evolving in NZ, people were killed on both sides people died that was life, do you think the people of this era who have no connection should be burdened with yesterday's atrocities, get over it, the world has changed for the better for all, shop playing the VICTIM.

[@nedKelly-x3z]

@@JimmyJenks-u8v If people knew the facts of history there wouldn't be a need for experts and their expert opinions, at the end of the day, we are expected to take these opinions as the truth, which is a load of garbage. I DON'T KNOW HOW YOU HAVE PRINCIPLES WHEN THE ORIGINAL VERSION IS 3 PARAGRAPHS WHICH CONTAINS 3 ARTICLES, you put Historians, Academics experts, politicians in charge of something laymen can understand, and it turns into a never ending story.

@@nedKelly-x3z Seymour and his 'reckons' are garbage. He is an amateur at everything. Good luck.

[@savagesaint4317]

Seymour is intelligent and that's the problem. He is advocating not listening to experts for the express purpose of duping less intelligent people. In no part of your normal life do we follow the advice of a person with no expertise above an expert. But Seymour has convinced people to do exactly that.

[@josephl9619]

The 'experts' of today tell us that the wage gap is all down to sexism, that female athletes can compete with top male athletes, that all disparities between maori and pakeha are because of colonisation or discrimination, etc etc ... All these things are false. That is why intelligent people are not so keen on our current crop of experts. It does appear however that you have been fooled by these experts - so perhaps it is you who is lacking in intelligence

[@stevehughes1510]

Seymour actions for the most part are commonsense and a lot of NZer's agree with that, if you don't that's up to you.

[@kiatupato182]

Duncan, have you seen the vile racist posts in the comments sections about Maori. I have never seen so much talk about Canibilism in my entire life. Maori are this, Maori are that. I say go research the Butchers Apron (flag), the British take the cake for brutality, violence and shedding of innocent blood. And Duncan don't forget, you are talk from a Majority sitting position. For me to see my parent and grandparents being trashed talk into the ground, makes me sick to my stomach.

[@stevehughes1510]

Stay away from social media, it's repugnant for the most part isn't it.

[@JimmyJenks-u8v]

'Dunc' has always been a bit confused. He sits on the fence a lot. I can only assume he does it to maintain peak 'reckon' power. At the same time he entertains wild ideas so as not to lose his base.
