Greenstone Takeaway

March 13, 2020

By NZB3

The day after I took this photo in Hokitika there was a theft nearby. The German guy who sells Thai food to the international tourists (go figure) by the beach had his greenstone menu-holder stolen and wants people to know…

“Today we had a nice Lady, she came with an old Man and she steal our mojo (Greenstone) what should bring us luck and we use it to hold our Menu card. She is, we think Maori…we will never ever have you as a Customer again.”- Klaus

As you’d expect, most of the comments are helpful and sympathetic on the local forum this small theft was shared in. But then there’s this other guy, Colin, whose comments are worth understanding. They provide insight into White Guilt, or, the extreme lack of assertiveness and boundaries currently gripping our culture. No wonder Seinfeld is screening and being advertised again 30 years later. This guy could be a character on the show…

“Maybe she owned it? How did you come by it?”

“…i asked the quesion. Nothing wrong with asking tbe question seeing as they are accusing her!”

“why not stop her when she was stealing it? They didnt. So therefore they dont know she stole it.”

“my understanding with greenstone is that ut is gifted…Anyway….just posing the question..”

The first thing to establish is that Colin is accusing Klaus of lying about owning property in the first place, and lying about being the victim of theft.

The second thing is that, rather than come out and say it, Colin is employing the Slave Culture manner of hiding his true agenda. SCs don’t like to get personal, they like to be anonymous. The accusation is obscured by pretending to ask a question, pretending to be randomly inquisitive.

Remember, under the light smoke screen of virtuous scepticism, Colin is attacking the victim’s integrity. Klaus gives his word he owned the greenstone and that it was taken while his back was turned (probably literally, while he prepared food) and Colin rejects that evidence. Colin’s Core Beliefs, his pre-conceived notions about ‘Maori’ and ‘Woman’ and ‘Greenstone’ are bigger than the evidence.

Colin is bending over backwards, cognitively, to side with and justify the criminal party. Why? All we know about them is summed up by ‘Maori-Woman-Greenstone’.

If a child came to Colin saying she had been assaulted would he say “Maybe you beat yourself up and forgot?” Or, if someone steals his car might he say, “Gosh, maybe it was their car and I made a mistake.” If someone steals his lunch money might he say, “Well, they probably need it more than I do. I wasn’t hungry anyway and there wasn’t anything I really wanted to eat.” This is exactly the kind of self-talk an SC has when trying to dissociate from painful confrontations; Seinfeld’s genius was turning this into comedic art.

Colin’s Olympic-level of White Guilt can be attributed to the fact the victim was a white man, Klaus. Set in conflict with a Maori Woman the category of White Man is supposed to be the oppressor not the victim according to Colin’s inner script. His prior conditioning for this inner monologue trumps any facts of a given situation and he bends over backwards to excuse or explain how Klaus is the real thief or at the very least much mistaken.

When politicians can get enough people like Colin together in once place they can leverage a fortune out of the taxpayer. All the politician needs to do to pay himself and his compatriots is to make the crime scene look like a just redistribution of wealth. People like Colin are very ready to believe thin tissues of lies on the slightest pretence. It is upon such conditioning as Colin’s that the Treaty Grievance Industry is based, for example.

All that has occurred, in reality, is a simple theft. A person has stolen property in an act of theft. They are guilty, the property should be returned, the criminal forced to answer for the harm done; Justice served.

However, in Storyland, Klaus’s Thai Takeaway represents a White Man’s box of wealth. Maori Female (and elderly plus one) reaching in to take the wealth are not stealing, they are re-repatriating! It’s OK because acts of theft depend upon political identity in Storyland not the nature of what really happened. However much the White Man may protest the removal of his wealth, the confiscation of his effort, this will be sanctioned by the culture if Colin’s mentality holds sway¹.

What happened yesterday in Hokitika, and how Klaus and Colin reacted, is just a little example like so many others every day of how New Zealanders treat each other. It can be a little stone or it can involve tens of millions of dollars.

When relations between the Colins and the Klauses are like this in our culture all the kleptocratic person needs to do is reach into the takeaway box and help them self. Loot away!

In a sense, the Colin-Klaus conflict here is what creates the package of excuses + wealth that make crime possible. The identity of the criminal, the gender and the race, for example, is decided by the fashion of the moment. What may seem to the Social Justice Warrior to be a benefit today to Maori Women with Elderly Plus Ones really hurts them more in the long run. Instead of being productive, like Klaus, a niche is created that will incentivise people of that profile to meet their needs by stealing. Thus, Colin’s Victimhood Culture act has created a Slave Culture out of being Maori by providing free stuff that is hard to refuse. Put on the ‘right’ identity and you can help yourself to the White Man’s take away box and feel entitled all the while.

Colin thinks he is helping. But this is why Maori are so much in jail, so much having their children up-lifted, so much the abusers of drugs and alcohol, so much more suicidal than everyone else. The Colins of this world are doing everything in their power to tempt and offer and excuse the looting of The White Man’s Take Away Box like the proverbial snake of Eden. If the Colins of this world tried to help your people you’d be suicidal too.

  1. Not also, Colin has been helped to bend over backwards by a paranormal idea about the legal status of igneous rock. It’s a loophole by which principles of property rights are imagined to stop working and by which injustices may be ignored
