New Zealand has the same problem with the abos, as we have with our “yoots”. Drugs, drug dealing, crime, rape, generational dole, incapacity to be educated, all the rest. And they are a protected class, just as our “yoots” are, perhaps even more so. New Zealand’s prime minister is an official socialist.
As bad as the US is, many western nations are worse. Consider Britain, where you can be jailed for writing “rayciss” comments on Facebook-and the definition of “rayciss” is a very broad one. Or Emma West in England, who was jailed for for making a “rayciss” comment, when she told some Paki women who were harassing her, to go back to Pakistan.
Or Canada, where they have “Human Rights Commissions”, extra-judicial committees empowered to fine or jail people for anything they deem “hate speech”. Mark Steyn recently had to fight one of these kangaroo courts (he won, thank goodness. But if you don’t have deep pockets or access to them, you can forget it). Canada is perfectly honest about the fact that they have no right of free speech.
All this is undoubtedly coming to the US, but it’s not here yet, and at least we have a “fighting” chance to slow or stop it, because we’re one the very few western nations who have a right to keep and bear arms.
I heard that young Maoris adopted American Thug “culture” whole-heartedly.
And I have heard about the UK’s weird anti-free speech stand and Steyn’s epic battles with the Canada’s PC courts.
But, a guest or new resident in another country, I’d be adapting to new standards so I wouldn’t feel quite as bad about these issue as I do about what has happened in USA.
