Capitalist: YOU CAN’T HAVE IT BOTH WAYS.
One of the oft-repeated claims by the Maori party and its seemingly deranged leader, along with many other “professional Maoris” scamming vast sums of other people’s money, is that Maoris never ceded sovereignty to the Crown. This bizarre notion is great politics for the Maori party; it stirs up younger Maoris; provides an excuse for their unemployment, meth habit, criminal record, and illiteracy. If it’s all the fault of colonisers, you don’t need to look in the mirror and conclude a slightly more likely reason for your lot in life.
But is there anything in this contention?
The Treaty of Waitangi was pretty easy to understand, even to uneducated Maoris in 1840 and clearly states sovereignty was ceded. But no matter how much proof of this is proffered it simply won’t be accepted by scam artists and madmen.
One of the problems you have when attempting to debate ignorant people is that ‘adult’ concepts evade them; for example, saying “you can’t have it both ways” is lost on them....
