I describe myself as being "Kiwi" or " Kiwi" and would also call myself a NZer - I resent the census form as it encourages the government to you know, govern and stuff.
I'm not aware that I was part of the dominant culture, I am so dominant I work 3 jobs to make ends meet - frankly I don't have time to celebrate, I can, however, think of things to celebrate.
I would say the dominant culture in this country is the Merovivingian Mix of Political and Business interest, the well played out conspiracy against the working people - let us celebrate the 40 hour week, the Working for Families package where the taxes are used to subsidise low wages. The taxpayer investment in Air New Zealand, the airline we had to save, which then turns around and shafts it staff.
No "one" positively has the territory - what does that mean - when the mountains crumble and fall into the sea "we" dive in after "it"- we are basically stewards of the land/planet - share the world, like wow. NZ does not have the ability to defend itself, form it self. On election night the nation was powerless to deal with the threat from the “geezer” who, in a small plane, buzzed the Sky Tower. What could the nations air force do if the situation turned for the worse - send some up in a cargo plane towing a sign asking the “geezer” to stop and come down.
How do you measure the lack of national self-awareness?
Really, what a laugh. Keep taking drugs and watching reality TV. By the way two people I work with do live in their vehicles, they say it is OK.
