    My thesis is now availabe to read online! It's about the role of the earliest forms of the child care and protection system - mission, Native and church schools, industrial schools, legislation, &c - in settler colonial capitalism in Aotearoa. researchspace.auckland.ac.nz/handle/2292/56…

    'How the sweet potato got from the Americas to Polynesia is a bit of a mystery' no it's fucking not Pacific peoples are the best seafaring navigators in world history. Shut up. Indigenous peoples had societies that interacted with each other without European interference.

    We don't need another Police helicopter to stop kids stealing shit, we need liveable incomes for their families, decent housing, equitable schooling, a non-retribution and punishment based justice system, community programs, and interesting and fun stuff for them to do for free.

    Incremental reform is not enough. As long as the wealthy have power, this will only get worse.

    Amber, just so you know Ben Shapiro is a right-wing agitator, who has been pointed to as a radicaliser for ethno-nationalists who have carried out mass killings other places, and is generally an awful person!

    Because this is doing numbers let me be really clear: this is a crisis caused by capitalism, and capitalism will NEVER solve this. The drive for profit will always be more important than people or the environment. This is the decade we need to bury this shit system for good.
