2020: Frankenstein’s Maori
January 30, 2020
By AHNZ
No community, no culture, no language, requires or pursues million dollar professorial task forces to sift through accidental trivia for 3 years. No commercial enterprise would pay $666k to try to measure how much random drift words have crossed over from one arbitrary ‘Maori’ speaker to an arbitrary ‘non-Maori’ speaker. Nobody without stolen State cash would suppose they could jump-start sleeping ngrams (like some Frankenstein Monster) into a living, breathing, speaking, alter ego.
“Professor Jeanette King…leading a research project called ‘Awakening the proto-lexicon’ which recently won a three-year grant from the 2019 Marsden Fund….This latest research will explore whether adults can activate their proto-lexicon…”- UC-led research wins grant for study on te reo, adult language acquisition; Canterbury.ac
It’s as if Professor Jeanette King thinks there is a little proto-Māori inside everyone and she needs half a million bucks to prove it. Then, she’s going to single out this hypothesised wee Māori essence in you and give it steroids until it grows inside you and becomes your new personality. Well, after all, isn’t that exactly what universities do for (or to) impressionable students currently at their own expense? King wants to formalise the clone formula that created people like herself or Jennifer Ward-Lealand, Hine Elder, Scotty and Stacey Morrison, or Jenny Rankine.
Still not as much steroids as our “Difficult Histories” friends, AKA ‘shifting historical perspectives of the New Zealand Wars’ received. A year and a half ago they got $859,000 and have still done bugger all. These billions of State fiscal injections only misdirect and stunt any authentic growth we have as self-directed people. Who we really are is replaced by a fake identity that seems valuable and important only because of the false price signals of some fleeting propaganda money.

Anarchist History of New Zealand: A fine is a tax for doing wrong. A tax is a fine for doing well
Two questions. Why does the government not endorse positive psychology (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy) in race relations instead of milking the negative for all it’s worth and what is the basis of the alternative approach?
Woke Private Schools and the Elite Leninist Vanguard
The Government isn’t trying to heal the body it is a parasite. Ticks and mosquito don’t offer you CBT! It’s actually best if the hosts are preoccupied with each other from that point of view because they’ll be too busy to swat the biting insect or engage in grooming behavior.
The alternative is for us not to have a State.
