NZ is a juniour imperialist illegitimate settler-colonial power. huge inequality. one of the most unequal education systems among wealthier countries. 1/3 of our polynesian kids in poverty. indigenous peoples 15% of population but 50% of prison pop., 70% of youth prison pop. https://twitter.com/davidgraeber/status/1253714205187944448">https://twitter.com/davidgrae...
NZ is like a cloned tiny version of every other western imperialist power of the last 500 years. We just have the moldering corpse of a public health and welfare system.
Only someone who is incredibly ignorant of the inequality here, of the history of violent colonisation and ongoing racism, and who doesn& #39;t understand how rich capitalist countries exploit poor countries and people would want NZ to be leading the world.
NZ is the & #39;nice guy& #39; version of a racist settler-colonial capitalist country
