PB, the Mongrel Mob and Black Power are Maori gangs and have a kind of political protection and respect. Anything Maori, including gangs and gang criminal activity, is considered sacred and should not be looked down on as culturally inferior. <I just looked and saw what the Mongrels thought and did (plus rival gangs) and just said to myself they wouldn't last 10 seconds in the UK. The police state would have them stitched up in no time.>
In some respects, I quite like having Maoridom as a counterbalance to the police state, which we are getting more of. When we are all Maoris, through miscegenation, which is happening at high speed, then we will all have a special relationship with the Crown and our tribal rights to autonomy will be increased. We Europeans are just state serfs and weirdly, people seem to think that's a good thing and vote for more of it each election. I suppose for thousands of years, being a tribal serf is how life has been, and like the slave Uncle Tom [of Uncle Tom's Cabin fame] we find some comfort in the deal [not that I've read the book so maybe I have that wrong].
I'm hoping for worldwide resistance to the idea of the individual as a state serf economic unit whose purpose in life is to provide goods and services to the rulers in government and their acolytes. Weirdly, about 70% of populations LIKE being state serfs, much as Indians enjoy poverty so much they have voted themselves poor for well over half a century since the British left.
When we all enjoy tradable citizenships, then we'll see some changes. When people can see just what they are worth, political activity will change and people will NOT vote themselves down the gurgler.
Citizenship should be a property right, not a serfdom. We citizens employ the managers, we are not their livestock; cows to be milked and sheep to be fleeced.
