Those Non-Reciprocal Pieties
Regarding the recent Māori theatrics in the New Zealand parliament:
Interesting. Are we indigenous Danes also more spiritually and culturally connected to our land than the recent immigrants? https://t.co/4WzK6HOr2g

Oddly, no reply was forthcoming.
Update, via the comments:
On those connections to the land:
Apparently, museum visitors must be warned that the sight of a Constable landscape may trigger TERRIFYING BLOOD AND SOIL TENDENCIES. Or at least inspire thoughts of historical attachment, continuity, and belonging – thoughts that may be disconcerting or very much frowned upon, if only by the – wait for it – keepers of our heritage.
Today’s word, since you ask, is juxtaposition.
Consider this an open thread. Share ye links and bicker.
“Shut up!”, they explained.
But ‘indigenous’ doesn’t mean, to the left, what it means to everyone else.
Having poked through some of her outpourings, I get the impression that Ms Demola doesn’t much like white people. Her Measure Of Righteousness In All Matters seems to be “native versus settler, coloniser versus colonised.” Which is awfully convenient for a certain kind of person.
While poking, the word monomania came to mind.
She also claims that Kemi Badenoch is “dangerous to black people.”
Her grasp of history is also somewhat intermittent.
For the purposes of juxtaposition.
Somewhat related: Professor says study of geology is “linked to white supremacy”. (Amusingly, she is a “Professor of Inhuman Geography” at Queen Mary University, which sounds like a joke in a Terry Pratchett novel.)
She also condemns paleontology, which she calls “pale-ontology”.
How do these low-intelligence, evil people get professorships? To ask is to answer.

Right, off to have lunch. Play nicely.
Use coasters.
Her grasp of history is also somewhat intermittent.
TBF, Africa, apart from Mediterranean Africa, was developing, just at a geologic pace compared to yte devils (or India and China, for that matter).
Regarding the recent Māori theatrics…
About those “indigenous” Maori, they didn’t spring de novo from the soil of New Zealand, but there were migrations from around the Pacific, and I’d bet good money that that the newer arrivals didn’t just sit down and share a Coke and sing in perfect harmony with whoever got there before.
Amusingly, she is a “Professor of Inhuman Geography”…
In practice, however, the meadows are full of this, and I don’t mean grass or the cows.
I recently read online that the Maori were the first settlers of those islands, and thus did not displace much less exterminate any indigenous people. On the other hand, they did keep pretty damn busy killing each other.
