As opposed to billionaires just buying politicians?

Parents somehow "taking advantage" isn't the problem.

It's not like someone can just pop out 100 children to skew votes.

Being able to treat people as things is pretty much the core of it.

Literally anything you find interesting.

Learning begets learning. The more you learn the easier learning becomes.

So start learning things that are interesting... then worry about things tha are "valuable".

Parents should be allowed a vote on behalf of their children until their children reach whatever age the jurisdiction allows independent voting.

I realised after posting that my post could easily be read contrary to what I meant too; it could easily read like I'm minimising the problems Māori face (TL;DR: colonisation).

I was trying to imply that an immigrant could be spared attention from our Nazis because the Nazis are already busy being Nazis to Māori.

It's not like our government has spent the last 150 years being Nazis... Ah shit.

The most vitriolic responses were from fathers who don't want to admit they mutilated their sons.

Circumcision is genital mutilation.

I think Hilary Clinton said it:

The worst man is still favoured over the best woman.

It's something like that.

Come to New Zealand.

We still have Nazis but they spend all their energy on hating the Māori population.

Urgh. Now I see an auto-corrected error.
