2000: Big Mouth Billy Bass

New Zealand, and the West, flows through 80 year saeculum cycles made up for 4 sub-cycles of 20 year generations. Each generation is composed of 4 cultures of 5 years a piece. Anarchist History of New Zealand finds and documents each of these saeculums, generations, and cultures.
In the year 2000 we were in Stackhat Slave Culture (c.1995-2002) as evidenced by such low-brow TV shows as Jackass (2000) and Fear Factor (2001.) And, by a wave of mass consumption of the tacky kitsch called Big Mouth Billy Bass.
“Big Mouth Billy Bass is set to tragically spend its birthday on Thursday once again high and dry and out of battery in some dark places in garages…The Big Mouth Billy Bass made an estimated US $100 million in nine months.” – Kevin Milne: A big birthday for Big Mouth Billy Bass, Newstalk ZB (2021)
And that’s probably the best explanation of how this phenomena came to be as you’ll ever get.
Stackhat Slave Culture (c.1995-2002)
This Slave Culture period is named ‘Stackhat’ after the compulsory wearing of helmets for all cyclists brought in by the Victimhood Culture period directly prior. Ref. 1994: The Stackhat Deception, AHNZ
New Zealanders were in yet another of their Told-What-To-Do cultural eras that come around every 20 years and last for 5 of them. The 5 year era immediately prior is what Anarchist History of New Zealand calls Satanic Pannic Victimhood Culture. The next era is called Outragious Honor Culture. This was New Zealand’s 8th Slave Culture era. It would be outdone by the 9th: COVID Slave Culture (2020-)
In 1995 some Slave Culture Maoris tried to change TVNZ policy by standing in the way of the 6 o’clock news. The same group, emboldened by leniency, then proceeded to Motua Gardens in Wanganui to occupy them in order to change the policy of the entire Government. Ref. 1995: News Crashers, AHNZ
In 1998 New Zealand buckled to the Ngai Tahu who had recently ‘discovered’ grievances not covered by the previous 3 ‘Full and Final Settlements’ and is awarded a 4th. Ref. 1998: Ngai Tahu Claims Settlement Act, AHNZ
One sign was the TV shows we watched toward the end. These included Jackass (2000) which featured Slave Culture/Honor Culture Men trying to earn a Darwin Award while being filmed. And, Fear Factor (2001) which was a gross-out stunt/dare game show initially hosted by Joe Rogan.
In 2000 the Labour 5.0 Government implemented a policy called Closing the Gaps. The idea was that Maoris were a slave class and needed extra political power to make up for that. New Zealanders, being in the headlights of cultural Slave Culture themselves, lacked the assertiveness to reject that policy. Maoris, for their part, had enough of a slave self-image (or hunger for free power) to accept it too. Ref. 2000: Closing the Gaps, AHNZ
At the end of the era, in 2002, the Slave Culture ethic permitted Labour 5.0’s Police Minister George Hawkins put a particular emphasis on recuriting women, Maori, Pacific Island and Asians. The emphasis was on identity, not capability. Ref. 2002: Policepersons, AHNZ
The slavish Kiwis let all of this and more take place, distracted by their talking Billy Bass fish on their walls.
