Where's your story Blair Jackson?

'allus' ~ always

All Us Moderates behave moderately.

We the Majority consistently practise moderation.

If I could be the mayor of Invercargill and Bluff, I could instigate nationwide conversations about moving on without the Treaty of Waitangi.

Willy Jackson, the Mahuta corp, and this not my PM have pushed us too far. This is civil war ~

~ It's a war of words and peaceful action that must be fought in our homes and social groups and with inter province interactions. Whatever pans out, this issue must be decided by All Us Moderates.

BTW, there were many brown skinned 'white extremists' at the PP. I got hongied away.

  

I've never believed that Maori like being treated condescendingly. Maori perceive governmental aggression behind all the 'kind' policies and 'our people' rhetoric. Like me, they're not stupid. They understand how the trojan horse of culture cum religion hides incoming tyranny. They've already experienced too much betrayal and they detest tribal elites. Like me, they are individually traveling along their own pathways of working all this out. Some are like I was with the Church as a youth - when I held onto my own thoughts by the skin of my teeth, privately perturbed, feeling very frustrated.

I've been waiting for the right Maori to irrevocably start this off, but waiting for any particular Kiwi to lead us onto the right track is racist and cowardly anyway. There's no sane reason why it couldn't be me. 

The right track is the secular one. It's that simple. We must absolutely reject the slithery unintelligent partnership rhetoric and firmly set aside Te Ao from our politics. Taking on this conversation will unify us in unique possibilities of multiple harmonies.

It's similar, sort of - just twist it - to how not our PM explains her take on hate speech. 'You know it when you see it.'

All Us Moderates know that Te Ao/Maoritanga is wrecking our future. Many of us are muddling through, letting our rights be trampled even so far as an all out attack upon our democracy, because that's how tolerant people live.

It's true -

Us hulk will win this war via our usual tolerance and quiet resilience. 

HOWEVER -

There are enough of All Us Moderates ready to fight very hard unto winning this war for the common good. We're fired up for this time in history. We're rearing to go. 

 

Mothers especially are roaring. Fathers are humbly revealing their humility and intelligence, and embracing their masculinity. Sons and daughters are ready to cease self censoring. Grandparents are watchful.

Why are we so sure? Because we know we represent the Majority. That's powerful.

All Us Moderates know dangerous nonsense when we see it.
We will fight to get our politics onto the  secular pathway.

We've never before achieved sole secular politics in New Zealand. This is history in the making. Exciting. Hopeful!

If I were already in a public position of responsibility,
If being regularly thumped by religious Group Think had not been the progressive fate of my 'birthright',
If I had victories against the old boys' network under my belt,
If the many but weak Ludlows of our country were not censoring their fellows, 

I believe these conversations could have by now been winning the day and already positively influencing our national executive. Instead, we are in a vulnerable position like never before.

I suppose there are other local body candidates, nationwide, thinking like me, and also new politicians contemplating how to get into Parliament.

See? Even I could be our next Prime Minister. Writing this post shrinks intimidation. Even I could quickly become our PM and easily learn the ropes and I'm not the only one.

There is growing hope for laying down a great foundation during the next twenty years - during, and after, our turning this corner.

(All Us Moderates branched out of my earlier concept of The Next 500.)
