“Share a Coke with Whānau”

November 13, 2019

A really big part of Statism is the corrupted forms of things that are good and true. Dental Health is good, so it’s corrupted into an excuse for bossing people around. Maori identity is good, so it’s corrupted into “Māori” or what VJM calls Brown Communism. Here we have a manifestation of both of these corruptions…

In a statement prepared with Māori public health body…The Māori Dental Association, NZDA…said calls to action such as “‘Share a Coke with Whānau’ and ‘Share a Coke with Kuia” were “a subversive insidious way to connect with people who suffer a disproportionate amount of dental disease and harm from a public health perspective.”

Notice, these dental and Māori Victimhood Culture priests offer the appearance of protecting Maori. It’s a paternalistic posture, predicated on the idea Maori can’t resist advertising or make their own health and dietary choices without oversight. It’s as if they’re trying to push back against racism in the guise of Big Cola who is trying to poison the brown man.

In reality, however, it’s a most racist stance. If Coke is bad for teeth then what should it matter that it’s a brown man’s or a white man’s or a yellow man’s tooth? This particular release/story racialises their issue.

Note: I’m still waiting for some SJW Victimhood Culture advocate to complain that Snickers are a subversive insidious way to connect with people who suffer a disproportionate amount of foolishness and clumsyness from a public health perspective.”

Now I’m just going to be lazy and quote back some of the great comments I’ve been reading by others after this article!

Stop finding fault in EVERYTHING…. live your own life and stop worrying about other people..

Wow damned if you do damned if you dont. Good on coke for marketing to everyone. Why are they calling this a violent act of colonization? Why is it ok to share a coke with Karen and not Rangi …. I’ll be on the look out for a whanau one 👍

Cant win

I got one with Nana written on it, I’m going to lodge a complaint with Aged Concern as they are exploiting older women 😂😂😂

Dang NZ is getting as bad as America

Ahwel change it back to Family lol… Maori always complaining about their language not being used and complain when it is, cant win.

Don’t over analyse… it just a bit of fun and a great marketing plan.. just don’t drink it and put it on TradeMe in 20 years… lol…

so we are supposed to be encouraging maori language in nz which is a good thing , but as soon as this happens it gets shot down by the public? so doesnt that also mean coke is targeting every other name they use in their bottles labeling? sarah, ben, whoever ?? wake up … lighten up … its called multi national corporate advertising ..and it works doesnt it? cokes been around a very long time and will be long after we go so do you think they really care ……… it targets everyone!!!

Well you can fuck off with that.. cultural appropriation and targeting our whaanau.. meh 🤮

Almost got through Wednesday without somebody being offended.

Marketing people would sell their own mother just to get a sale!
But I’m sick of being told what’s bad for me by a bunch of wowsers. I’m 72 and have smoked for 60 years and drunk a shitload of coke……and hope to continue to keep doing so! Cheers.
