"Watching New Zealand from afar offers a strange perspective.
It can be a good thing — distance from Aotearoa helped keep me sane while I
reported on abuse at New Zealand’s biggest megachurch over the course of a
year. It helps fuel my silly podcast.
But it can also be frustrating and annoying — last week feeling like a reverse
Flightless Bird as I saw the absolute dumbass American response to what
happened in New Zealand’s parliament.
In case you missed it:
New Zealand’s parliament was briefly suspended on Thursday after Maori
members staged a haka to disrupt the vote on a contentious bill that would
reinterpret a 184-year-old treaty between the British and Indigenous Maori.
All of this was filmed, and then it went viral.
And all of a sudden thousands of brussel sprouts were weighing in from every
corner of the globe
on something they knew absolutely nothing about."
