This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

Anon is often depressed.
Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

No. It's just that some of us Pākehā actually care about preserving and supporting a people and a culture that our ancestors did their best to eradicate.

Those of us that care enough, will find out the appropriate ways to provide such support.

Auckland Airport has some (IMHO somewhat crass) token Māoritanga in the international terminal. They're quite happy to exploit Māori when there's tourism dollars to be made.

Thank you. I feel like not a lot of people consider this angle. I mean, whatever your personal heritage is, if the people of New Zealand don’t take some sort of stewardship over the national heritage, no one other country is going to.

Wellington based civil servant, by any chance?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (1 children)

Nope. Not in Welly, nor civil service, nor publicly owned employer or clients or anything.

Hmm. You'd fit right in in the civil service.

And you probably fit right in 1930's Germany
