I haven’t seen corroboration elsewhere, but I also haven’t seen a straight-up refutation. Homelesspersons and disabledpersons are exempt from this cap. We are placing a cap of 50% on the proportion of Council members who have performed one or more premeditated sexual assaults or rapes in the preceding twelve months. Some women have expressed to us that they wouldn’t feel comfortable presenting a case involving a sexual offence to a Council that is partly made up of criminals with a history of committing sexual offences. The Council will mandate that more than 25% of its members must have a violent criminal history with previous or current incarceration experience. Unfortunately, google didn’t catch the craziest edits, including the following two bits:
As far as I can tell, Reddit is the only place this was ever announced. It’s since been taken down, but it was up for over two days and went through multiple edits. Here’s Google’s cache of a post on Reddit announcing the creation of a “Conflict Resolution Advisory Council” for the CHAZ, post since removed: But I presume the symbols being destroyed here (when it’s not just random destruction) are destroyed because of their (supposed) association with aspects of the past that most people now repudiate (largely for good reason), not for their association with positive elements of the past. I guess you can argue that repudiating elements of the culture that made a civilization great means people will behave in a way that worsens the state of the civilization. I’m not on board with destroying all symbols that are associated with both good and bad, but I can see that some people disagree with me.Ĭan you explain how not being proud of, or even hating ita past would lead to the collapse of a civilization, either through examples or general? I also think it’s unjustified and meaningless to be either proud or ashamed of past things one had no part in. Most societies that exist for a long time have elements in their past they find abhorrent today. This happened after Catholicism was replaced by Protestantism, it generally didn’t involve societal collapse, and the new Protestant culture has been living on for centuries.) (One example of a culture sort of destroying its own symbols I can think of is when protestants painted over frescoes and stopped praying to saints. as the result of a conquest) to just a few elements of the culture being replaced. The “collapse” of the old culture can be anything from a collapse of civilization (e.g. Most cases of cultural destruction I can think of involves a new culture destroying symbols of the old culture after the old culture has already “collapsed”.
No, nor do I have an example of a civilization that destroyed its symbols and did collapse, let alone one where there is a clear causation from the cultural destruction and the collapse. NZ First is a sort of populist anti-immigrant party.
He’s known for being opportunistic and selfish, and extremely politically savvy. “The woke generation are the equivalent of a person with no long-term memory, stumbling around in the present without any signposts to guide them.įor context, Winston Peters is of the NZ First party which is currently allied with the Labour Party to form the current government. “A country learns from its mistakes and triumphs and its people should have the knowledge and maturity to distinguish between the two. “A self-confident country would never succumb to obliterating symbols of their history, whether it be good or bad or simply gone out of fashion,” Peters said in a statement. The council said the request came amid “growing international drive to remove statues which are seen to represent cultural disharmony and oppression”. “Why do some woke New Zealanders feel the need to mimic mindless actions imported from overseas?” said Peters, referring to protests in the US and the UK where colonial statues have been vandalised, torn down, and thrown in lakes.Įarlier on Friday, a statue of Captain John Hamilton was removed from Hamilton’s Civic Square following a request from Waikato-Tainui. The debate this week made its way to New Zealand, with Māori Party co-leader Debbie Ngarewa-Packer calling for the country’s colonial statues to be removed. Here in NZ, the Deputy Prime Minister Winston Peters has said that he “won’t pander to the woke brigade.” And:
